Can somebody summarize the arguments given thus far against banning (at the very least) the AR-15? The only coherent (yet laughably invalid) argument I've seen is "bbut gubmint tranny!!" Well okay, somewhat coherent.
I think the best argument is that we don't need an argument.
Convincing!
You are proposing that the government impose a limitation on a fundamental constitutional right. The burden of justifying this is on the government. It is an exceptional burden to overcome.
I'm proposing changing the constitution to rectify a problem with the earlier draft. Just like the 21st Amendment did to the 18th.
But realistically, I guess you should be able to keep whatever handguns you need to help your rational/irrational fear for your personal safety go away. But nobody should have an AR-15, period. This is pure and simple common sense, and the entire world and more than half of this country is telling you that, regardless of whether you choose to listen.*
(* That should sound familiar to any Donald Trump supporters reading this!)
You know, I hope Clinton wins and appoints a couple of liberal justices on the Supreme Court that overturn Heller.
If you want to be buried with all eighteen guns after dying in whatever delusional Scarface-type fantasy you have in mind, I guess I can't stop you. I don't personally see the appeal, but I don't have anything I feel I need to prove.
Because why argue with someone that doesn't understand anything about the guns you are trying to argue against.
The AR-15 is basically like any other rife think the mini-14 which if you saw wouldn't think "scary". Its semi-auto ,but so are hand guns. Its not anymore faster ,nor is it some fully automatic rife capable of shooting hundreds of rounds in second. Its not on par with any mil-spec M4 or M16 its a very watered down rife IMO.
Here is a 223. Mini-14

Some people in this country may not personally see the appeal of men having sex with other men, but should those people have final say? I don't understand why people like you on the left are fighting the against obvious here.
Islamic terror caused this not some gun because as I remembered during high school watching two airliners crash into the twin towers. Its not about an object.
But of course the left hates America anyway and could careless about real issues and would rather infringe upon others rights.
