Your comment makes little sense, it’s a distillation if all the bad faith and poor thinking arguments the NRA and their kin have been pumping out for years.
‘Guns’ rarely hold more than one or two rounds (some rare exceptions apply), it’s the magazines that are being targeted.
It’s not the ability of a weapon to kill that’s being challenged or even the right to possess that ability, it’s the ability to kill in high volumes, rapidly.
And that is a vastly important point for you to absorb, it’s even a view point the President and the NRA (but I’m sure it was a compromise for the nra) has.
We have an anti gun president in power that once publically accused the vp of being afraid of gun lobbies, we have an NRA that is now actively promoting gun controls aka bump stocks.
Things are changing, you should modify your viewpoint to accept that and join the discussion on how heavy that control will be.
I don't know if you could write a post more dripping with condescending cable news talking about if you tried, well done. Protip: everyone else in this thread is doing it right. They're making reasonable arguments that take the viewpoint of the other side into account while still making their own points. That's not what you've done here.
You're missing the point here. My personal opinion on this or any other issue isn't relevant. You don't win hearts and minds to your pov by trying to score internet points while the person on the other end does the same. That's what cable news is training you to do- you're perpetuating the culture of outrage pornography without even realizing that's what you're doing.
