-still legal under 2nd amendment. No need to tamper the law.
-people who really love guns can save up their entire lives to afford one. Similar to me saving up for a Porsche.
-psycho kids with a grudge between the age of 15-30 can’t afford to get their hands on them.
-Gun manufacturers profit tremendously.
-Mandate that a portion of the proceeds goes to fund victims of gun violence or mental health.
Everyone wins. Discuss.
Overall revenue is going to decrease for the gun manufacturers at such a high price range. As the demand shrinks, making most gun manufacturers run losses. Not going to be an easy process to get it through the legislature.
Wrong place to post liberal or even moderate political ideas. This is trump country man. You’ll get no replies or just a handful of downvotes, try Reddit if you want meaningful discourse on liberal topics.
Lol at reddit and "meaningful discourse". Reddit is a cesspool.
I think that was the joke.
R/whooooosh lol

Actual "Assault Rifles"/Full auto capable rifles already cost ~$15k-25k to purchase in the US, in addition to several other hurdles to acquisition. AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles are simply not the same thing.
An overwhelming majority of guns produced across the world today are going to be semiautomatic. With the only real exceptions being: Bolt action rifles, certain shotguns, and some old west revolvers/lever guns.
Pricing out the ability for an everyday American citizen to purchase one is in essence restricting their 2nd amendment right. In the same way that high poll taxes infringed on the right of individuals to participate in the election/voting process.
Also, handguns still make up a far higher percentage of gun related deaths. So that would really only put a small Bandaid on a massive and complex issue. School shootings and mass shootings overall, are horrible atrocities. However, a ban on guns/restriction of them is not going to be a widely effective solution in a country with more firearms than its populace. I can understand the sentiment in thinking it is the right fix, but it's a relatively naive one (which would just serve to further the detrimental divide this country has been experiencing).
2A is pretty cut and dry English - "shall not be infringed" - and the government stepping in to make the cost of exercising literally the 2nd right enshrined in the BoR is a pretty blatant infringement. Ever heard of poll taxes?
The topic line of this post pretty much confirms that which ever firm hired this monkey should fire them immediately.
Would it kill you to do like 30 seconds of research on anything before you unleash your fingers on the keyboard?
Unsurprisingly this is a problem the vast majority of anti-gunners have, because if they had the slightest idea what they were talking about or advocating for they would realize how indefensible their position is in the first place.
Edit: comment restored was rested by the mod team
Hey, bigot, did you miss the memo that acknowledging reality is racist?!
Google "2021 mass shooters".
Click "images".
I'm simultaneously amazed and unsurprised they removed your comment. Mods are getting trigger happy again.
Same. We must reject the evidence of our eyes and ears. It is the party's final, most essential command.
#NO POLITICS ON WSO
Wouldn't this just drive people (especially the psycho ones that will get their hands on guns one way or another) to purchase them illegally on black market for significantly less?
