"Assault Rifles" (AR-15's Legality)

The statement of "gun laws lower gun violence" is extremely debatable, because in places like Chicago, with some of the highest gun violence statistics in the country, also have the highest gun violence rates. With Australia and Canada, their populations are much lower than ours, so their per 100,000 people will be lower almost no matter what. Australia has a population of around 24 million people, Canada has a population of 35 Million, while we have 318.9 million people. It's obvious why their numbers are lower. IF you adjust those statistics for an equal population, America is much closer than you'd think, as displayed by this video. along with the sources Mr. Crowder used. http://www.mintpressnews.com... http://usconservatives.about.com... http://www.theguardian.com... http://www.insightcrime.org... (there are quite a few more sources, it's in the link in the description of the video.) When adjusted, America is actually Now about your statement about my statement about the constitution. You stated " Can you prove what that comma means? Unless you can't, your argument is useless. The comma was merely a grammatical comma." Literally every single word and Punctuation of the constitution was debated ferociously. The founding fathers were thinking of a free country, and it's impossible to have a free country that says only some of its people can bear arms, and I can very well assure you that the comma wasn't put there purely for grammatical reasons. "the comma was merely grammatical" Every single word of every single writing is grammatical. It's the same with commas. That comma, grammatically, has a meaning. it's not there to make you pause while you speak, it's there to separate the first and second part of the amendment. "Finally, the second amendment was written in a time where guns were one shot, inaccurate muskets which took at least 30 seconds to reload." Here are some counterexamples that contradict that statement; The Puckle gun, Pepperbox revolvers, The Belton Flintlock (which could fire up to 20 rounds in 5 seconds, meaning it has a higher rate of fire than some guns today), The Giradoni Rifle, with a 22 round magazine that could fire in 30 seconds. In conclusion, no, muskets were not the only guns around when the second amendment was written. http://www.truthrevolt.org... https://www.quora.com... " Also, the second amendment says, "Arms." Arms doesn't only refer to firearms. If you restrict firearms, people can still have knives, bats, crossbows and so on. Even if we interpret the second amendment to say, "Everyone can bear arms", you don't need a firearm, you can bear different arms." No, it doesn't exclusively refer to firearms, but that doesn't mean you should be allowed to infringe on my right to bear arms in general. Just because I can bear a knife instead of a gun, doesn't mean I should have to. But now we have the strongest military in the world, and our guns have hundred-round clips, that can be reloaded within 5 seconds, and are accurate for hundreds of yards. This means that the amendment is outdated, and needs updating. This assumes the shooter is a skilled and militarily trained weapons expert. The gun isn't accurate for hundreds of yards, the person behind it is. as for the AR-15 Hunting portion https://www.cheaperthandirt.com... http://www.ammoforsale.com... http://www.m4carbine.net... .223 and .308/5.56mm NATO shells are the standard ammunition for an AR-15. They are cleared for deer and other types of hunting. The caliber will not taint the meat, or destroy the animal. It is a clean kill. I'm not going to attack you for your arguments because that's highly unprofessional and childish. This is a site for debate, not personal attacks. Also I'm glad to see that you know what you're talking about, I don't end up with people like that a lot. lastly, please watch the videos I provided, they display my point of view almost perfectly. If you need clarifying on any of my points, those will help too. Sorry if he implies you're an idiot, but that's him, not me.
