Assault weapons are firearms that are designed to kill many people quickly and efficiently. They are often used in mass shootings and other violent crimes. The United States has seen a number of high-profile mass shootings in recent years, including the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the 2018 Parkland shooting, and the 2019 Dayton shooting. In each of these cases, the shooter used an assault weapon to kill and injure large numbers of people.
There are several reasons why we should impose restrictions on assault weapons. First, they are not necessary for self-defense or hunting. Assault weapons are designed for military use, and they have no place in civilian life. Second, they are too dangerous to be widely available. Assault weapons can fire hundreds of rounds per minute, and they can cause massive damage to human bodies. Third, they are often used in mass shootings and other violent crimes. By restricting access to assault weapons, we can reduce the number of people who are killed and injured in these incidents.
Some people argue that restrictions on assault weapons would violate the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees the right to bear arms. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment does not protect the right to own any type of weapon. In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Court held that the Second Amendment protects the right to own a handgun for self-defense, but it does not protect the right to own an assault weapon.
In conclusion, imposing restrictions on assault weapons is a common-sense measure that can help to reduce gun violence in the United States. By limiting access to these deadly weapons, we can make our communities safer and prevent tragedies like mass shootings from occurring.

You do know that more people die every single year by hands, fists and feet than by rifles of any kind?
You do know that more people die every singe year by stabbing and blunt objects than by rifles of any kind?
You do know that more people die every single year by shotguns than by rifles of any kind?
AND You do know that a lot more people die every singel year by HANDGUNS than by all of the above combined than by rifles of any kind, don't you?
The left's anti-rifle position is pure unsubstantiated emotively driven subjective nonsense!!!!
And the focus of Heller was on handguns for concealment, it had nothing to do with rifles because you cannot walk around concealing it...it's too big. DUH!
Awwww poor guy, you're so confused. Also you literally brought all of this upon yourself, I usually comment demeaning things on other people's posts, but I see you have a habit of doing this for practically every post you stumble upon. Take your surface level understanding of politics and go outside, or go count some teeth.
"Those were Southern Democratic Conservatives. Also party switch, which is something that actually occured. Conservatives love to deny history huh."~Didn't deny anything. They were Democrats. Jacksonian Democrats to be precise. What was then is not what is today. Citing historical eras as if they have any relvance today just demonstrates your ignorance of said history to present day realities.
Nah, intellectual cowards such as yourself demean yourself with your psychological projection actually believing you are attirbuting something factual upon another, when that could not be any further from the truth. Mr. Dunning-Kruger.
Agreed
Sure, I can help you with that.

That's stating the obvious. Could you not come up with a better question to stir an actual debate/discussion????
