Why do libs obsess over "assault rifles" when handgun deaths are so much more common?

It is well established that so called assault rifles are used in far fewer murders than hand guns. Why the obsession with "assault rifles"? Is it because they look scary? Or because mass shootings generate headlines and captivate public interest? Or most sadly, because you think a bunch of dead children is most useful to score cheap political points?

In the 10 years since the previous ban lapsed, even gun control advocates acknowledge a larger truth: The law that barred the sale of assault weapons from 1994 to 2004 made little difference.
It turns out that big, scary military rifles don’t kill the vast majority of the 11,000 Americans murdered with guns each year. Little handguns do.

Because you can't mow down a group with a hand gun, dumbass. All those are person to person incidents with handguns, not mass murders.

I'd say 32 mowed down by a Walther P22 and Glock 19 would be considered a mass murder. Even Liberal CNN does.

What? The fuck you think happened at Virginia Tech? Or Columbine? Sandy Hook was done mostly with handguns as well. The fuck are you smoking?

Several handguns, stocks of ammo, and body armor, correct? It wasn't just a person with basic arms, so it's getting into realms we always discuss.

So are people actually wanting to push an argument against handguns, as opposed to just assault weapons? Are they really that dumb? That's a prime example of shooting yourself in the foot. I always thought it should go a more sensible route with arms, as a solution for everyone, but If people want this route instead, be my guest.

don't cry now, you brought up this craptastic argument. we can start with the lubys massacre in texas if you'd like. two handguns, no body armor. but i guess you'll try to turn that in to an argument for restricting the amount of ammo a person can possess and carry, right?

I'm not pushing an argument against any firearms that are currently legal. Just pointing out the irrationality of liberal's hyper focus on tactical rifles. We know that when the sale of these firearms actually was banned for 10 years, it had virtually no impact on gun violence.

I wonder if the anti gun agenda is actually as fake as the immigration agenda. Your side doesn't actually care about the victims or fixing anything. Just using a tragedy to claim Republicans like to see children killed.
 
Assault weapons make it so much easier and increase the dead and injured toll. Yeah, all guns should be taken away and then you have to qualify to get them back, Have to take classes in using them. Have to pass a background check and have to pass a mental health check. All these guns do not make the people safer. That is proven once or twice a week by a big shooting of innocent people.

Did you really write that? Just proved you are the kind of person who should not have guns. Obviously you are immature and pugnacious. Can make a case for mentally unhealthy too. Do us all a favor and turn your guns in.

right. because the 2nd Amendment was written for we the people to have a monopoly of violence over the government, so you idiot libs have to think that those who are ready to do violence should be deemed mentally unstable LOL

come and take them, dumbfuck.
 
Because its easier to shoot a pol with a rifle than a hand gun. They could care less about the thousands dead from hand guns.

Moving the goalposts? You said mass murders haven't been done with handguns. That's simply not true.

You just proved you don't have the guts to do what you say should be done. We both know why.

I thought you claimed nobody wants to take guns away but you advocate it here. Many things do not make us safe and are not good for us (guns, alcohol, drugs,tobacco), but that is no argument they should be taken away unless you prefer a totalitarian society. Multiple states have legalized marijuana although it has resulted in increased driving accidents, brain, and respiratory problems. The public does not favor much stricter controls on society and politicians who want to get reelected follow give us what we want.

You can still do the job with hand guns. that should make you sleep better. But it is much easier and most killers select semi automatics. Wouldn't you? Isn't that what you plan on using? And no. I did not say that. make more shit up.
