Why does the NRA go quiet whenever there's a mass shooting?

Leave that one legal and take everything else out. Work better?

All of my hunting rifles are more powerful than my AR15s and the reason ARs aren't even more popular in hunting applications is that they simply aren't lethal enough in basic form. Actual assault rifles (select-fire) have been banned for decades. Which is sort of questionable in it's own right since full-auto is mainly intended for suppressive fire in the military & would just make things more difficult for your average school shooter.
Your new suggestion makes even less sense. The founding fathers explicitly prescribed an armed populace as part of the checks & balances system which implies that civilian/militia firearms remain in rough parity with that of the standard infantryman of their time (to be consistent with your approach, we should actually re-legalize assault rifles). They most definitely didn't stipulate a technological expiration date.
Why are all anti-gun people generally quite dumb? I mean if I somehow switched sides I could construct some killer arguments in favor of greater flexibility for region-specific firearm regulations (since nearly all US homicide is confined to a small handful of countires) & subsidized firearm detection systems for school zones.
I think you guys assume you're arguing with a television trope (big bubba sitting there with his doublebarrel in his lap and a religious reverence for the founding fathers) and deliberately pursue the dumbest hyperbole possible about muskets and "assault rifles" because on TV big bubba always loses anyway.Last edited by ////; 02-17-2018, 04:01 AM.

17 deaths are not statistically significant enough to factor into the core argument of whether firearm ownership has an overall positive or negative effect on social stability.
Nobody this emotionally impulsive or unable to grasp dependent/independent variables should be allowed to watch television. You are more of a danger to society than any gun owner.
It is humane to make decisions based on data. I believe you "people are dyin' out there!" types are actually quite apathetic and merely see a low-effort opportunity for virtue signalling.

Leftist priorities...
Firearms: "People are dyin' out there! DYIN' BY THE ZILLIONS! And for WHAT? All guns did was liberate all of mankind from the feudal caste system. It is worth it???"
The so-called "War on Drugs": We lockin' people in cages just for trying to make a living! It's fascism! #methisfreedom"
