The overwhelming majority of rifles in existence have that capability. The typical deer rifle has the same capacity as an “assault weapon.”
I am all for more gun control but nobody points out a solution that would ever have any effect on these shootings. Almost every shooting in recent memory was with a gun sold with a background check. And the countries with the highest murder rates in South and Central America have gun ownership rates in line with Europe.
Also no one ever points out that murder is at all time lows in this country. Bloomberg - Are you a robot? US has always had more violence than Europe. This kind of white terrorism is a problem but is negligible. It gets the most press like shark attacks and plane cashes. Drug illegality and the location to Central America causes directly or indirectly a huge percentage of the excess violent crime. Pablo Escabar, El Chapo and Frank Lucas types as well as gang violence is a product of the drug war.
Oh fuck off. A deer rifle does not have the same mass killing capacity as an assault weapon. One major one, they aren’t typically semi automatic and only hold a handful of rounds.
Two, if you can use the three brain cells left in your head and think for a second and answer this question:
How many mass killings have been performed with hunting rifles vs assault weapons in the last 20 years? Go ahead, I’ll wait.

lol, are you fucking kidding? the solution here is to stop making it legal to sell them. The fact that people are legally buying them is exactly the point.
This analysis found that in from 2009 to 2017, in mass shootings, 1/3rd of perpetrators were prohibited from buying a firearm. So there goes your “most of these are done by people who had background checks” absurdity.
But hey, why pass common sense gun laws to save a few dozen people here or there, right? Gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette. It’s no different than a shark attack!
I didn’t say no big deal. I said negligible. Which is a fact. Not an opinion.
These are politicized like plane crashes because of the number of people who die at one time. But the number of people killed in mass shootings is very small. Mass shooting are a fraction of all murders per year
People bring up all sorts of misleading stats about murder but the simple reality is murder is at all time lows in the country. And a disproportionate number of the murders that do happen are because of drug violence. There is little correlation between gun ownership rates between countries and violence. Mexico, Hondurus, Venezuela, Colombia all have low gun ownership rates but have very high murder rates.
When it comes to other murders and drug violence, many (most?) of the victims know the killer or are knowingly engaged in an activity that can lead to harm. In these white supremacist Republican mass shootings, you have innocent children being gunned down as the enjoy a festival or shop for school supplies. Fuck off with your “it’s negligible” bullshit. Trying to justify and hand wave this away is a sign of a serious lack of intelligence.
Yea i’ll be sure to tell my friend who got shot through the shoulder and lost half the group he went with in the Vegas massacre that it was negligible.
Lol you are such trash, and your argument is weak. You’re just here to troll.
Like, I get that a bunch of mexicans getting slaughtered in a walmart makes you rock hard but the rest of us would prefer not to read your drivel.
They hate Islamic extremists but they encourage the same behavior through this white nationalist domestic terrorism. The same way jihadists cultivate their suicide bombers these alt right 8chan message boards are encouraging mass shootings, stabbings, bombings, you name it.
You are sitting here with a straight face saying assault weapons kill basically 0 people a year when 30 people got slaughtered in a 14 hour window.
Lol. You are an actual imbecile.
In ohio, the killer was shot and killed by police in less than a MINUTE. Assault weapons are the only types of weapons that can do that much damage in such a short period.
What you linked is a 5 year old opinion piece and blatantly dishonest. But hey, yea, let’s call them your “facts.”
According to that article, handguns are used in 80% of murders, but what is the death tally? Can a handgun kill 9 people and injure 27 in the space of a few dozen seconds?
You are an idiot and a troll. I’ve already exposed your bullshit “deer rifles are basically the same as AR’s” bullshit which you have abandoned in favor of whatever weird non-argument you’re making now.
Really, what is your actual position here? You haven’t presented any real argument other than “guys calm down this is just media hype riflez arent that bad and these murders are negligible hurrr huurrr hurr”
Ok. We get it. You’re a scummy piece of trash. Please fuck off.
