    I am for stricter gun control laws

    I've already effort commented why before so I'm not gonna do it again but this APL article mirrors most of the same opinions I hold though I had a more data driven analysis of it and didn't consider to argue against Marx's "under no pretext" quote

        I'm pretty sure stricter gun control laws almost always mean tighter restrictions on semi-automatic rifles, which the article mentions btw

        Handguns make sense for self defense and I'm all for that black homeless man having a glock

        I don't see any reason how something like an AR would make sense for self defense. They're unwieldy, heavy, takes more training, can't be concealed, etc. but it's amazing if you wanna conduct a mass shooting

            Wow that's insane I didn't know you could 3d print attachments for handguns like that

            For the record I don't agree with everything the article says, especially the background checks on all arms

            I generally just agree on banning semi-automatics, though if widespread knowledge of how to make a handgun more deadly then it would not be very helpful
