No but I was under the impression that they're literally already banned from owning assault rifles.

Civilians can't buy assault rifles without spending thousands of dollars and jumping through many hoops.

TC has no idea what he is talking about.

Assault rifles made after 1986 can't be legally purchased by civilians, period. If any civilian wants to buy one older than that and have the shitload of cash to do so and can pass all legally required background checks, who am I to say no?

Now if TC meant "assault weapons" which is likely the case since the AR-15 was brought up, I reject that fear-mongering, intellectually dishonest term and replace it with the proper term "semi-automatic rifles" to which I say in no uncertain terms YES!

What if one were to argue that angry incels gravitate towards the scary looking military guns coz they think it makes them look tough and scary, and they wouldn't be as inclined to do mass killings if the guns didn't look as intimidating

i wonder if all guns were colored neon pink and other clown colors whether we'd have as many mass shootings

It is not merely semantics when "assault rifle" has a very strict definition in military parlance.

Are you talking about scary looking black rifles or rifles that happen to be selective fire? Because if it is the latter they've been heavily regulated. An AR-15 does not function the exact same way an M-16/M4 despite the exact same appearances.

The one that civilians can buy are semi-automatic, which fire every time the trigger is pulled. The one they CANNOT readily buy is able to fire on either 3 round burst or full auto and semi-automatic.

Armalite Rifle? Because that's what the AR in AR-15 stands for champ.

Are you seriously trying to argue this? Someone would have to intentionally paint it neon pink. Why would they bother? If they came that way, mass shooters would just use it and not care.
