Over the past two decades, the majority of Americans in a country deeply divided over gun control have coalesced behind a single proposition: The sale of assault weapons should be banned.Not me. I support the use of so-called "assault weapons" for sport and recreation. |

"The 'AR' in all ArmaLite pattern firearms simply stands for ArmaLite, and can be found on most of the company's firearms: AR-5 a .22 caliber rifle, the AR-7, another .22 caliber, the AR-17 shotgun, the AR-10 rifle, in addition to the AR-24 pistol."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15#History |

What does the "A" in "AR-15" stand for? I thought it was "assault" but I could be wrong.Automatic. Automatic in that the gun automatically chambers the next round for firing. Assault rifle is a translation of Sturmgewehr, German development of fully automatic rifle (light weight machine guns) made during WW-II, Sturmgewehr 44. Mind you all of the weapons that were banded under the so called 'assault weapon' ban were not fully automatic rifles as in continuous fire with a single trigger pull. Those weapons were placed under heavy regulation after the passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |

Most of the mass murder events were done with semiautomatic assault weapons. That's why they garner so much attention, they kill en masse. Since these are discussed for years afterward (mention Columbine and people still know what you're talking Bout) the imprint these mass killing machines, assault rifles, make remain indelible. |

I don't see how loading yet another charge (more charges, more likely sucessful prosecution) onto a criminal is a bad thing. |

The "Gun Free Zone" policy prohibits law abiding citizens from defending themselves. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |

Wrong, it's intention is to prevent guns on school grounds. You ought to see where the gun free zones ARE. Schools, hospitals and some churches. Doesn't prevent any "law abiding citizen" from defending their own property, which is where "gun rights" end, according to the courts.Or are you in favor of dystopian mayhem on the streets of the country? I prefer to live free FROM guns. |

Funny, gun rights very depending on a given states laws. In some states one can open carry, in other states one can counsel carry. In a hand full of states you need to get an anal exam to be allow to counsel carry and you will still be denied. The states with the strictest gun control laws have the highest rates of crime where fire arms were used. Or are you in favor of dystopian mayhem on the streets of the country?

People like you will lead to the end of gun rights because you make the right position (pro-gun) look wrong. |

The states with the strictest gun control laws have the highest rates of crime where fire arms were used.And that's why Canada's rate of murders committed by guns is about 1/7th of the United States' rate even though their non-gun murder rate is very similar to the US's. |

More guns, less crime does NOt happen.It's more like more guns, more death. But the NRA gun lobby won't allow the actual researh to definitively PROVE that. |
