      I've never thought gun control was a magical solution to all the deeply ingrained problems that give rise to mass shootings, but someone's going to have to explain why it should be socially and legally permissible to possess an AK-47 in non-warzones

      Yeah and there are already a variety of infringements on what firearms and firearm accessories you can possess, including one enacted by Trumphttps://www.foxbusiness.com/features/trump-federal-bump-stock-ban-goes-into-effect …

          The bump stock is easily replicated with a belt hook also and was before someone invented it and made it mainstream. While it make me very sick knowing what is happening I would rather have a well armed populace and never need to use it then a tyranny and not have it.

          This is a great point if the point is that all of these weapons and accessories should be legal.

          2A people are not seeing an appreciable decrease in homicides correlating to gun laws. As such, most are staunchly against any new laws, no matter how small. This is unlikely to change anytime soon.

          Useless laws aside , according to the constitution that would mean these infringements should not be enforced. Brady bill which bans fully automatic weapons produced after 1986 aside....

          SCOTUS past decisions allow states to individually regulate firearm purchases as long as it doesn't infringe on 2nd Amendment rights of citizens. Maryland's 2013 Gun Control law is one of the strictest in the country and has stood up to SCOTUS scrutiny since 2017.

          This argument: "Why can't I have the things that I want when there are similar infringements I don't even care about?" It's a bad, shameful argument.

          AK is no different than any other rifle that shoots the same ammo. It’s semi-auto so why shouldn’t it be legal?

          To be fair Michael. Bump stock is an add on its not a weapon by itself that's why courts can infringe them.
