The only argument shapiro could offer in defence of assault weapons was that they are needed for a potential revolution somewhere along the line... Do you know how crazy that will sound to the majority of americans?
This was intentional because he wanted to paint all gun owners as lunatics like AJ. He definitely bit off more than he could chew with Shapiro.
I know all to well about the stigma associated with mental illness particularly schizophrenia. I was fired from a good paying job after my employer found out I had it. I worked there for 4 years without incident no write ups or anything. I was there on time every day and did my job well. I told a coworker one day and the next I was hauled into the office with two supervisors. They demanded to know what kind of medication I take. I told them it was none of their business. I was then written up 12 times in 4 months and fired.

What a BS interview. I'm sick of these shooters getting away with blaming it on mental illness. Most of these people that commit these shooting are cold calculated killers not mentally ill. I have schizophrenia. When I was sick there was no way I could have planned anything that these people have done. Now because of these mass shooters their coming after my gun rights. I am a sportsman and I've been hunting my entire life. As a citizen I can't go out and purchase a gun.
Not only can you not purchase a gun - they'll come after your other rights as well. Your entire life is about to become public property
The people behind this are furious that the names of gun owners are published because that's about their rights - but in this country the rights of the mentally ill are not important - and in fact they'll do nicely as a deflection and a scapegoat
Who is making the argument that a person (mentally ill or otherwise) would kill far fewer with a conventional weapon? Not the people screaming the loudest right now
They'd have us believe it's not the weapons fault - and finding fault is the prize in all this. We'll all feel safer I'm sure when we start locking up our mentally ill citizens - and every little thing a student or co-worker or family member does will be suspect
Notes will be taken and files will be kept - and records will be made accessible...
Yes - that will be just the thing to fix this mess
We have the right to bear arms - let the witch hunt begin - because everyone knows witches don't have rights

Ummm...Actually it IS the 223 which is also the same as the 5.56 nato rnd., they also sell it in the 308 which is the same as the 7.76 nato rnd. There is NO difference other than shape between those weapons and a typical hunting purposed variety. I wanted to correct your earlier post. My model 1911 S&W 9mm has a standard 15 rnd. mag that fits completely into the hand grip and does not extend below it. What Chucky the hypocrit Schumer has there is a 30 rnd mag.

The AR15 is NOT military grade. Nor is it even an assault weapon. It is a Lightweight, Magazine fed, Gas Powered, Air Cooled, Semi Automatic weapon. The ONLY difference between this weapon and a hunting rifle is the caliber, and magazine (ammo) capacity.
Ummm...Why...At the end of the day he's still for regulating and limiting. How many millions of those criminals that he's talking about are only criminals in name only......imprisioned over victimless crimes.......he's still more a part of the problem than a solution.

does you parliament allow you that much leverage in your life ?

See folks, this is the ultimate weakness in the anti-gun arguments.
Women and their rights to defend from rapists.
And rapists who want to disarm them.
Exploit this.
Their weakness is revealed to all.
Control the argument, they have no decent rebut to this.
Stop bashing this "WE WANT ALL YOUR GUNS!" strawman, your flailing is making a mess of the place.
so, what is this ???
confessions of a rapist or what ?

Prohibition means you get no choice in the matter
really ????
perhaps you should discuss your misperception with the generations of moonshiners who strongly disagree
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha ... hahahahahahahaha
Alcohol is regulated, medicine is regulated, the use of motor-vehicles is regulated, all without causing the downfall of mankind
yeah, ok, you keep believing it.
the rest of us are gonna stick with reality, ok ?

I could terrify an attacker with an imitation gun as well as you could with a real one, I've no doubt. The problem I see with American gun owners is that they are represented by their loudest and dumbest members. YOU think because it has rescued you once that it is now your lucky talisman and probably feel naked if you leave home without it. Me, I'd prefer to be able to leave my home weaponless and not have to worry about some random going nutso with the fiream some 250yr old piece of paper entitled him to.

if you don't already know then no one can 'tell' you
a gun is and can be leverage ... even without pulling the trigger.
how would you know differently anyway ?
are you a gun owner ?
mine protected all of us just fine a couple years ago.
where were you mr tough guy ?
besides, impingement is still impingement regardless of the gender being impinged.

you said prohibition prevents ... well, you're wrong.
