Here's Why A Ban On AR15 "Assault" Rifles Will NOT Prevent Mass Shootings
The AR15 & Mini 14 Are Ballistically Identical & Similar In Size. Differences Are Cosmetic.The AR is a semi auto version of the current US M16 Battle Rifle -
The Mini 14 is a semi auto version of the prior US M14 Battle Rifle -
Scaled down to use the Same Ammo as the AR15.
The AR15 was designed in the '50s & was adopted by the US Military.
The Mini 14 was designed in the '60s & likely Would've been adopted by the US Military -except the AR15 had Already been been adopted.
The Mini 14 is available in Full Auto versions -
It's been adopted by a few countries for Law Enforcement & Military Use.
An "Assault" Rifle ban is Written to SPECIFICALLY ban rifles that Look Like the AR15 -
Also the semi auto versions of the AK47 -
The Soviet Battle Rifle that used .30 caliber ammo 'til the mid 70s
The Mini 14's Twin - The Mini 30 - is Ballistically Identical to an AK47.
The Minis 14 & 30 would NOT be banned under an "Assault" Rifle ban because they're Less Scary LOOKING Than the AR15 & AK47.
ANYTHING a mass shooter could do with an AR or AK could be done with a Mini
AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN WON'T DO WHAT YOU THINK. HERE'S WHY:
ONE SIGNIFICANT Difference separates AR15s from AK47s & the Minis -ARs utilize a rear buffer tube that restricts the use of Folding Stocks.
AKs & Minis Can be fitted with Side or Under Folding Stocks to make them More Compact -
Hence MORE CONCEALABLE Than an AR.
The PRIMARY Effect of an "Assault" Rifle would be that Pols would crow that they'd Done SOMEthing ...
And that'd make folks who Know Little/Nothing 'bout such things FEEEEL Warm & Fuzzy
It'd do Not A Damned Thing to PREVENT MASS SHOOTINGS.

It's a Folding Rifle that does EVERYthing an AR can ... PLUS -
It can be made EXTREMELY Compact & Concealable.
The SU16ca version was designed EXPLICITLY to comply with California's Restrictions on Scary Guns ...
Its the easy access to fire arms that enables the mass shootings.
Can you simply or will you not see that?
Locking up all the crazies in the USA will also not work (there are obviously far too many, look how many voted for Trump).
Nor will turning schools into fortreses.
BANING GUNS making it very, very difficult to own one is the only answer.

Criminals never had any difficulty procuring their Firearms!
In which case we need to go after the bigger entities. Then the problem disappears.

What you describe Might Conceivably keep firearms out of the hands of potential malefactors.
MY POINT is that banning weapons based on SCARINESS OF LOOKS is Ridiculous.
As per turning schools into fortresses - That's hyperbole ...
And Hardening Schools has already been PROVEN Effective in INNER CITY SCHOOLS.
See @ 11:15
The assertion that kids would find such measures alarming doesn't hold water.
Any school age kid has Grown Up with such measure every time they've taken a plane to visit their grandparents or attended an MLB Ball Game.
To them - That's the Only Normal they've Ever KNOWN.
A couple years ago I set off a metal detector & was denied entry to an MLB Game cuz I forgot to leave my pocket multi-tool which includes a pen knife in the car.
That a Lunatic was able to get a RIFLE Through the propped open side door of a SCHOOL is ABSURDLY CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.
If ANYthing - Kids MUST Be wondering, "WHY are baseball fans given Greater Protection Than I AM???" ...
Cuz that's Dead On Balls EXACTLY The Message We've Sendin' 'Em.
In which case we need to go after the bigger entities. Then the problem disappears.

I.E. - It regulates weapons based on FUNCTION Rather than SCARINESS OF APPEARANCE.
If my understanding of 'Strayan Law is incorrect -
I'll trust Merc to put us all Wise ...
At one school shooting a teacher was armed &he wasn't able to stop the deaths of 17 kids
This latest shooting the bastard let rip 223 rounds..One little child was so ripped up his family wasn't allowed to view their child to give their final hugs.
Your greedy politicians giving into you selfish people all for the sake of bloody votes
As far as I'm concerned all you people who vote for kids to be slaughtered all have blood on your hands
The GOP's apparent solution here is to harden the schools. rat-a-tat-tat.

Again -
MY POINT is that Regulating Firearms On The Basis of SCARY APPEARANCE rather than FUNCTION Is Ridiculous ... Downright SILLY.

It's Ghastly to even Contemplate. (That the Uvalde Massacre had been Planned)
Some details, locations & timing ARE Oddly Coincidental for Political Use.
Ol' Joe's Approval among Latinos has plunged Below Rock Bottom.
In the wake of the Uvalde Massacre - a largely Latino community -
Ol' Joe's traveling to Uvalde to show solidarity with said Largely Latino Community.
The Uvalde Massacre took place in Texas -
Just Days Prior to the NRA National Convention in ... Houston, Texas.
Coincidence(S)?? ...
IF ... The timing & location were Not coincidental ...
And WILL spawn Theories Of A Conspiratorial Nature For Years.
Know It.
