You are saying ban semi auto guns because no one needs them...
I didn’t say it was “because no one needs them”.
I said it would make mass shooting more difficult while still maintaining people’s ability to hunt and shoot for sport.
I’ve also never said that we will ever get deaths down to zero. It’s about a compromise between reducing the potential carnage as much as possible while still acknowledging that people do need to use guns to hunt and for sport shooting, although I put far less value on the sport shooting, as it is strictly recreation. They could easily use air guns to do exactly the same thing. That can’t be said for hunting.
...so why not ban everything we don’t need that kills people.
Because that’s an unworkable, unrealistic, overly-simplistic viewpoint.
It would be like saying “well since guns kill people, why don’t we just allow automatic weapons and bazookas too”?
You are putting a value on people’s lives according to how they died.
How am I doing that when I said I think it’s important to reduce car deaths too? Sounds like I want to reduce deaths from multiple sources.
