I'm Pro-Gun: Change my Mind

I am glad that you said we should have mental health screening. At least i am happy that you support background check on gun sales. Because I have heard of really idiotics moron don't want to have background check. By the way you mention that assault weapon can also be used for hunting. But this is wrong. A hunters don't need an AR-15 to hunt down animals. Assault weapon are not hunting rifles. Most often hunters use Snipers and shotgun which it's much more suitable for hunting. Because to effectively hunt down an animals you only need a weapon that can aim on them accurately and only a single shot to kill. An AR-15 won't be useful because you can't aim it from a long distance. A sniper is useful because it can be fired from long distance while an AR-15 do not. Do you also need a fully automatic machine gun to hunt animals ? Of course not. These weapons are weapon of war. Hunters don't need to have an weapon of war. You mention that assault weapon can be used for self defense. But why not use hand guns instead ? Besides Second amendment guaranteed the right to bear arms but it doesn't protect weapon of war. "The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond Virginia, ruled that,, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protection to weapons of war. There was also federal law banning assault weapon in the year between 1994 to 2004 and we saw much fewer mass shooting than it's today. After the year 2004 the law was expired and we saw and surge of mass shooting and death toll. Mass shooting has become more deadlier than before because of the law was expired. You also mention that cars kill more people than guns which may be true. But according to the recent statistic , gun death are now becoming as common as vehicle accidental death. In Japan for example, one of the strictest gun laws in the world, being killed by a gun is just as common as being killed with lightning strike. The probability of gun death is 1 in 1000,000 which is very very low. But Japan has fewest guns per capita which make them the safest nation. You said that banning assault weapon won't solve murder which it's true. Assault weapon are responsible of only 1 % of all crimes. It's true that most criminals use handguns but the reason why this weapon should be banned is to reduce or prevent mass shooting. It's has been very clear that people who want to kill a of people often use assault weapon. And things like bump stock and high capacity magazine even make mass shooting more deadlier. But nevertheless you claim that cars kill more people than guns so cars should be banned is irrelevant and illogical. Of course we work hard to regulate cars such as providing seat bells,airbags, child safety seats,mandatory reporting of defects by carmakers. All these has been proven to reduce dramatically death per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. Shouldn't we have the regulation on guns also ? Why not ? Yes i fully agree that we should treat guns like cars but guns in america are much less regulated. This is why gun control could fix this loopholes. Gun control doesn't deprive the right to bear arms. It doesn't violate Second Amendment. It's a typical nonsense slippery slope argument from gun lobby like the NRA. Gun control just ensure that we are safe and there is more regulation on guns. I support Second Amendment. I support the right to bear arms. My Grandfather often went hunting but he doesn't own an AR-15 style weapon that can kill lots of people in a few minutes like the weapon which was used in Parkland,Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Orlando nightclub, Sutherland, and Aoura movie theather.
