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

You really should get educated on this stuff before you post. The major weapon at Columbine was a TEC-9 which is considered an assault pistol.

You shouldn't try and tell others to get educated when you yourself don't know what you're taking about.

But not considered an AR-15, or even an assault rifle, which was the weapon we were talking about.

Which is why it's called an assault handgun do you understand the distinction

Trying to assert that a TEC-9 isnt a Tech 9 just makes you look foolish

Your attempt to move the goalposts notwithstanding, you've simply proven my position. Assault rifles are not inherent to these attacks. I notice you ignored Virginia Tech. The reality is, semi-automatic is not saved solely for the weapons that you think look scary.

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.

There's no pleasing the bleeding heart liberals. They'll complain about any gun these kids use.

The left is not obsessing about semi automatic and automatic weapons. However they are weapons of war designed to kill as many people people in as short a time as possible. they are not suited for home defense and not allowed for hunting. Can you figure out what their purpose is, if you try. They are military weapons that have no use in a society, but mass killers are attracted to them. If you plan on killing a lot of people in a short time, they are suitable. Other than that, they have no use. They do not belong in civilian hands. They should not be sold.

They are great for home defense and are absolutely allowed for hunting. They are not the preferred rifle by many hunters, but they can be used legally and successfully to hunt plenty of game. Not that the 2nd amendment is about hunting rights.

I get that conservatives really do not care about mass executions of school children, and have never offered any tangible solutions to reduce them. If anything they are forever trying to weaken background checks, make it easier to buy guns, and fetishize military-style weapons and high capacity magazines.

But, I believe much of our civilized society finds the mass executions of school children in a place that is supposed to be safe for them, to be completely unacceptable. Relatively more unacceptable than a couple of drug dealers wasting each other, or a murderous spat between jealous lovers.

Wow, thanks for showing how salient what I said was, on post# 9.
