When most people think of "assault weapons" they are thinking of the AR-15 style weapons with large capacity mags. People on both sides get stuck on definitions instead of solutions. We need a culture change in the US. Using a gun shouldn't be the default answer.
hikerslife.bsky.social (@hikerslife.bsky.social) reply parent
That is the wrong question. The correct question is what is the root cause of mass shootings or gun violence. Ex: If it is mental health, remove costs and access barriers. Remove guns if there is a threat. People guilty of DV should not be allowed guns. If called out. Take the guns.

Also there is next to nothing federal laws. Gun laws happen at the State level.

Except, when a child die in a pool, we added gates & lifeguards. When a child dies in a SUV, we added seat belts and speed limits. When a child dies becuase of a mass shooting or gun violence, we say nothing can be done.
