Reply to comment by iamsce in Bristol shooting. by iamsce

Relevance stems from the fact that the type of weapon has little to nothing to do with what happened in either situation. It also completely ignores the fact that the majority of gun deaths involve handguns yet I never hear anyone saying things like let's ban handguns or this wouldn't have happened if we didn't have handguns

> In 2020, handguns were involved in 59% of the 13,620 U.S. gun murders and non-negligent manslaughters for which data is available, according to the FBI. Rifles – the category that includes guns sometimes referred to as “assault weapons” – were involved in 3% of firearm murders.

I’m arguing that banning specific weapons is pointless and solves nothing but okay?

How many rounds can you fire with a handgun in 90 seconds? Banning non pistols works.

Most semi automatic handguns can fire at the same speed as rifles. They fire one bullet every time you pull the trigger. The speed is determined by how fast the trigger is pulled and has nothing to do with whether its a handgun or rifle.

Not surprised this is over your head - you’re lost. I’m not calling to ban anything. If anything I think some of the bans currently in place in CT go too far as it is, and this thread just highlights that
