Why does anyone NEED an assault rifle?

Colorado Lawmakers Shelve ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Bill

I’ve got to wonder why a Chinese news source run out of New York City felt a need to publish that.

Thereby lies the solution. Ban the trucks that deliver the guns and ammo to your mountainside town.

Better yet, restrict the use of automobiles to trips to and from work and medical appointments.

That seems awfully intrusive. Or we could build walkable cities with cheap mass transit so people who live there don't have to drive everywhere. That would save thousands of lives.

I was being facetious. I drive all over the place needlessly spewing carbon.

You have my sympathies. It sucks living someplace where driving is mandatory.

English is the official language of most states. Learn it.

The place names involved are either German or Polish, not English. My spellchecker was unhelpful. Since I don't speak or write in either language, I don't feel any shame about misspellings. I've actually visited one of the extermination camps, so I have a bit of an appreciation for the genocide. I also am aware of the Warsaw uprising.

You claim to not be able to write or speak the language, yet you seem to have assimilated the philosophy of "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer" quite easily.

Gott im Himmel, I did nazi this coming!

I don't know what type of spellchecker you use, but Dachau, Bergen Belsen and Auschwitz are all in English language dictionaries. ( my online spellchecker corrects them, as does google)

It really does suck. Like uber is too expensive to take to and fro work especially if you don't live really close to where you work so if your car goes down you can't get to work and its just a cycle you can't really get out of without help.

Most American families have at least two cars - one for him and one for her. Many folks are getting EVs as third cars for putting around town on short trips. Lotta people have one or more motorcycles as well as cars.

It sucks living someplace where freedom of movement is denied!

There are 278,063,737 personal and commercial vehicles currently registered in the United States as of 2023. Which averages out to 1.79 per household. 8.3% of households in the US, don't have a vehicle registered vehicle. DC leads the country in locations where vehicle ownership is decreasing. Montana leads in ownership of vehicles with 2.5 per household. While Idaho and Wyoming tie for highest rate of car ownership with 92.6% households owning one or more vehicles. Wyoming also leads with households that own three or more.

So most households have less than two vehicles, and in large urban areas, ownership is declining, at least that is what Forbes is stating.

Like in your brain for example?

Exactly! Forcing people to own cars to get around makes them much less free. Ironically I’m typing this on the train as I head downtown to work.

Owning a vehicle is freedom of choice and freedom of movement.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

Owning a vehicle is freedom of choice and freedom of movement.

Being forced to own something is freedom? Seems kind of Orwellian.

And it's entertaining when they all start bitching about the price of fuel going up too!

Ok, I don’t dispute those figures.

Nebraska is to become the 27th state to enact constitutional carry, permitless carry. Butters will be sad.

Uh, no. I simply fucked up.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I applaud the many child massacre aficionados in this thread, once again you've managed to pivot the discussion from semi-automatic weapons to "car deaths".

Well played.

 

[DeluxAuto]

You have the IQ of a potato with a personality to match so it was a legitimate question.
