re: #118 lawhawk

Ben Shapiro is a friggin idiot, but I disagree with your solution. An outright ban on “possession” of “assault weapons” would make the drug war look like the poster child for sane, sound, effective governance.

Such a ban would necessarily require police — the same police who routinely and with impunity murder unarmed civilians as a twitch reflex — to go house to house, kicking in doors, and ransacking dwellings looking for “assault weapons”. There are more guns than people in the US. Like it or not, we live where we live, and that’s the reality.
