I don't think so, diagnosed crazy people shouldn't be allowed to be in possession of guns.
We have enough problems with the undiagnosed crazy people in possession of guns.

Like I said, haven't heard ONE democrat politician, wanting to ban guns.
As far as "assault weapons"?
Researchers have found evidence to suggest that the firearms industry itself may have introduced the term "assault weapon" to build interest in new product lines.[9] Phillip Peterson, the author of Gun Digest Buyer’s Guide to Assault Weapons (2008) wrote:
The popularly held idea that the term 'assault weapon' originated with anti-gun activists is wrong. The term was first adopted by manufacturers, wholesalers, importers and dealers in the American firearms industry to stimulate sales of certain firearms that did not have an appearance that was familiar to many firearms owners. The manufacturers and gun writers of the day needed a catchy name to identify this new type of gun.
The definition varies among regulating jurisdictions but usually includes semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine, a pistol grip and sometimes other features such as a vertical forward grip, flash suppressor or barrel shroud.
The origin of the term has been attributed to legislators, gun control groups, firearm manufacturers, and the media. It is often used interchangeably (but incorrectly) with the term "assault rifle", which may more specifically refer to selective-fire military rifles that can fire in automatic or burst mode.

Thanks for the likes.
I walk with anyone and with good cheer who should be going my way, for as long as they should choose to go my way.

diagnosed crazy people shouldn't be in public............wouldn't that make better sense?
do we? if they are undiagnosed, how do we know they're crazy?
Beto did it to loud applause and support. Hillary supported Australian-style gun control with mandatory buyback AKA confiscation. The fact Democats haven't been able to do it doesn't mean they don't want to do it.
As for the definition, it's easy to see why you hid the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon#History_of_terminology
One of the earliest uses of the term, or a similar term, in its current meaning was in a bill introduced by Art Agnos in the California State Assembly in April 1985 to ban semi-automatic "assault firearms" capable of using detachable magazines of 20 rounds or more.[21][22] Speaking to the Assembly Public Safety Committee, Agnos said, "The only use for assault weapons is to shoot people."[21] The measure did not pass when it came up for a vote.[22]
In 2013, The Washington Post, looking into the history of the term, wrote of the term: "Many attribute its popularization to a 1988 paper written by gun-control activist and Violence Policy Center founder Josh Sugarmann and the later reaction to the Cleveland School massacre in Stockton, California, in January 1989."
Agreed. Additionally, people who have been diagnosed with mental illness should be in treatment but Democrats don't care about helping people. They are focused on guns, guns, guns not help the mentally ill and suicidal. Suicides account for 2/3s of all "gun deaths"/"gun violence".
My guess is that if they helped the suicidal, then the "gun deaths" would go down and they wouldn't be able to ban guns. Clearly, the Democratic Party has prioritized their agenda.

So in effect you name one politico who stated his desire for AR-15 confiscation (couldn't get the Dems in general to support that). Hilliary's desire to incorporate a foreign approach (again, no Dem consensus on that), and a reiteration of the gunner whine that AR-15's are NOT assault weapons (ONLY because the civilian model can't switch to full auto....numerous attachments, quick trigger and balance not withstanding)....along with denial as to why mass shooters seem to love them so.
Keep blowing smoke, you arrogant asshole.....makes the title of this thread all the more valid.

Since I've got about 3 right wing retards on IA, I don't know exactly to whom you refer....but it's a generic fit. These clowns all swear my threads and posts are worthless....yet the dog me like bitches in heat for attention. Can you say "obsession" boys & girls?
Sorry, dude, but an AR-15 isn't an "assault rifle". It's just a scary-looking semi-automatic magazine-fed rifle which gun-banners have labeled "assault weapons" and, more recently, "military-style weapons".
This is a military weapon, not just a "military-style", which I suspect will be next on the Democratic ban agenda once they ban semi-automatic rifles:
There is no confiscation. The idea is to stop the sales of them in America. As time goes by, they will slowly dry up. They will be confiscated in robberies and shootings. Slowly they will become less and less. They are not needed by American citizens at home. They are military weapons. They are used in mass shootings at an alarming rate. Get these things out of here.
Incorrect**, but everyone can see why the Democrats want to keep pushing the Big Lie as they move closer to "mandatory buyback".
**Red Flag laws.

we will just make our own and black market them. they will never go away
It's not your place to determine the needs of 330,000,000 Americans even though Democrats keep pushing that authoritarian agenda.
Second, with the exception of a few bolt-action rifles, all of my firearms are civilian manufacture for the civilian market. Your desire to ban "military weapons" is simply a Democratic talking point and code for "ban all guns".

None of those weapons, despite being relic military weapons from a long past time, is under threat of being banned.
At greater risk are autoloading weapons which were never made as anything but hunting rifles.
As there are no reasonable people on either side, revised gun control isn't something we're likely see.

You're like a drunk parrot squawking th same line over and over and over.....but this new stupidity of yours takes the cake! "... an AR-15 isn't an "assault rifle". It's just a scary-looking semi-automatic magazine-fed rifle..." Yeah, tell that to the families of all it's innocent victims from the last 2 decades. They'll have some choice words for you, if not a good old fashion ass whupp'in!
I tire of addressing the SOS from gunners and NRA bullhorns. Heres a good take on the issue that gives both sides, but the reality of the weapons chosen and their effectiveness wins out over clap trap like yours. http://www.indexjournal.com/news/mo...cle_bdae1a2f-9516-5348-96b9-bde0abc8e2dc.html
Oh, and FYI, wheher full or semi-auto, these weapons are also categorized as "rifles". So much for your little photo's significance to the discussion.
Awesome argument for stripping Americans of their rights, dude.
No doubt your parents will be pissed.
Were they Reagan Yuppies and that's why you rebel?
maybe if people like you had voted for trump it wouldn't be a issue
we know what democrats really want .
