Assault weapons are made to kill, however, they are cool AF and my constitutional right. They should have stricter regulations on how easily people may attain them, like background checks, mental health checks, safety courses and training, etc.
Assault weapons are very dangerous and should not be accessible to normal, everyday citizens. People have the right to guns, but should not have the right to very dangerous weapons such as these.
@9G8N7VJ6mos6MO
Assault weapons should be banned from civilian use. Restrictions are not enough. Too many people have died in mass shooting because of these particular weapons.
Children in schools have to practice active shooter lock down drills, police presence has increased on campuses as well.
Our children have the right to go to school without worrying about a mass shooting.

Assault weapons were made for self defense but have been abused. I do agree that there should be stricter regulations on how people attain them and background checks are necessary, but I feel that people like teachers, should be allowed to attain a gun due to the fact that there has recently been school shootings and since millions of parents are putting their children's life in the hands of staff members of a school. I feel that school staff should rightfully be allowed to possess a gun for the safety of the children. It is not fair that we should not be allowed to own a gun because someone shot an innocent person who had no weapon to defend themselves with.

I don't think it matters how cool something is. It matters on how it is used and its purpose. Guns are MADE to kill so people are going to kill. I think even very strict regulations wouldn't stop deaths by gun shootings. Anyone can have a mental breakdown and have an episode.

“assault weapons”
No such thing.
A nonsense term created by people who know nothing about guns.
A fist can be considered an assault weapon.

Assault weapons cause more damage than handguns, and they are usually for those who are a part of the military. So, why should citizens have access to military grade weapons?
@9GB3HF66mos6MO
I am a hunter and in order to practice I need to purchase shotgun shells. the shells being used at the range are target rounds that spread out and lose momentum after about 100 feet. they are meant for breaking clay discs. nobody is going to use low power ammunition if they actually wish to harm people.
@9GDZ8LFRepublican6mos6MO
That assault rifles are used more then any other gun in shooting then and are usually the most dangerous because of the high capacity of rounds it can hold.
@9LFW7PP2wks2W
Majority of major shootings happen with assault weapons. Assault weapons are used to shoot multiple bullets at once and should only be used by police in extreme measures or by our army when fighting the enemy. In civilian hands, it is much more dangerous and risky to allow it.
@9JQPDTQ3mos3MO
shootings happen everywhere no matter how many gun laws we put. 30+ shootings have already happeend, compared to how texas for example, has little to no crime rate or any of the matter. How?
EVERYONE is armed. so you can stand for yourself.
@9HXKTCC4mos4MO
I think many of the mass shootings have involved assault weapons. A person can protect themselves without needing military-grade weapons.

“The power of the sword, say the minority..., is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for the powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every terrible implement of the soldier… Read more

Which guns would be classified as an "assault weapon?"
My problem with this take is that assault weapon is not well defined. It would be easier to know what pro control advocates mean by this if they are able to define which guns would be an "assault weapon."
@9LTTXQD13hrs13H
Assault weapons are used more in mass shooting like in school and mall shootings. Smaller fire arms are used mainly for protection and aren't mainly used in mass shootings and assault weapons are the main guns that are causing more harm.
