    Are you serious?

    You can’t see how lesser bullets per second is helpful when you goal is to lessen the amount of people dying in a timespan?

      Yes, I can see that. Your argument is correct. I should have clarified, I meant “how will this help politically?” Any gun owner will look at a ban on assault rifles and laugh because it’s just a sliver of all the kinds of guns. If you really want to make a gun shoot lots of bullets, you don’t need an assault rifle.

      Source: me, I live in the South and I’ve shot guns my whole life, although I don’t own any myself. I know several people with guns that would laugh at an assault rifle ban.

          They’re not entirely wrong, handguns should also be banned and regulated if you actually want to address gun violence in the way that literally every single country that doesn’t suffer from regular gun violence does.
