Thread: From E-Cat to A-Cat?

The point is that, in the USA:
-in most states an AR for example is easy to get - just go and buy it
-if they're a felon and can't pass a background check in a store it's still not hard to get if you just go and buy one face-to-face in a private transfer eg the retardedly named and misunderstood "gunshow loophole"
-if "these type of guns" attract "the wrong sort of people" then surely "the wrong sort of people" would make that minor effort to get them
-Overall murder rate with all rifles is less than 4% in the USA, that's not "ARs" or "MSSAs" it's "All rifles"
-Clearly not too many murders are making the minimal effort that they'd have to make to get those guns if they really were all attracted to them any more than they are to any weapon.

I think "the wrong sort of person" is attracted to any weapon, none more so than others really

"the wrong sort of person" in Boston was attracted to a pressure cooker full of cut up fireworks
