I bet you people crazier and dumber than you own them as well.
If everyone was sane and responsible this wouldn't be an issue.

Not like an assault rifle, no, but a 9mil got range on it.

Bruh are we really comparing the range of a laser sight handgun to a semi automatic rifle?

So basically your a dreamer because we still got operational weapons from the civil war.
And gasoline engines are here for the next 50 years.
I'm not saying I don't agree with your dream of the world being perfect but your plan just isn't logical.

Yeah they do and they specifically shouldn't have them. I agree with that.
People who already have them should be subject to wellness checks and recurring random background probes. Wouldn't be hard to implement at all.
Assault weapons with select fire should be banned from civilian use, modification to turn a semi to a full should be a felony nationwide. Class 3 weapons and accessories should be banned from civilian use 100%. Shorten allowed magazine capacity, all for it.
But a sweeping ban on all semi auto weapons is a big stretch. Especially plinkers.

That's why your gasoline and paint still have lead in it. Right?
The only arguments you have left are to find every reason why the status quo is preferable to gun reduction programs, even there are clear examples of such programs being successful at curbing gun violence.

I'm aquote you on that, and actively check the NRA movements.

I’m talking about serious changes not “we’ve made changes to our website” type of changes. Like for starters: have the president of the NRA call for changes for gun control and or arms conceal and carry.(will never happen)

Not all weapons just rifles.
At least you half way there bruh. Many people much less reasonable than yourself.

I specifically said spray, as in shoot 30+ people from distance with accuracy, in a short period of time.
The recoil from a handguns prevents this.
We're trying to reduce the number of MASS shootings

Expelled from school
History of mental illness
Bragged about killing animals
Obsessed with guns and knives
OWNED a gun
Broken home, parents recently deceased
Threatened classmates with violence

In my opinion, this is how you attempt to resolve the school shootings:
TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF OF THE CHILDREN.
From the moment a child goes to kindergarten, they are asked what they want to be when they grow up. They are pressured by depressed, over-medicated, and stressed out parents who want a return on their investment for the sacrifices they made working tough jobs, chasing degrees, and chasing the American Dream.
As parents and as a country we have to do some self reflection, and really assess how we parent our children. Children from foreign countries don't have this same pressure. They take "Gap Years" after high school. During that time they can really find out what they want to do and discover who they want to be.
In addition to pressure from their parents, American kids receive pressure from the media and while on social media. They see the glorification of public figures. The pressure to be the best at what they do within their peer group (wear clothes, get accolades, attain wealth) within their peer group results in a big chase... aka the rat race.
The pressure to be all of these things is not freedom. The pressure to win that race is actually mental slavery.
That is why there are so many mental health diagnoses. People become depressed because they cannot keep up to who they admire. That could be a rapper, a doctor, or dad.
As a country, America needs to SLOW DOWN. The pressure of trying to keep up with our peers, trying to maintain broken relationships, and trying to live up to unrealistic expectations is killing us.
Let's enjoy this land, this planet, and this life.
Automation is coming. Let's efficiently consolidate all manual labor jobs into factories that are "robot centers" or places that do most of our manual labor.
Let's knock down all of the remaining buildings, and cultivate the land. More people are working from home, so not as many offices are needed.
Let's build gardens with fruits and vegetables in these spaces. That is what most people want anyway. That would bring health into the inner cities. Instead of factory jobs, those people could work gardening jobs.
That shouldn't be the goal though. The goal should be ownership. We should know down the empty malls, and convert office buildings into vendor markets. That would encourage more entrepreneurship. You wouldn't need as much overhead. Just pay a small fee to the building, and sell your products. That also helps the building owner earn money.
We need to rethink the idea of what the American Dream should be. This one has run its course.
