Assault weapons are made to kill, however, they are cool AF and my constitutional right

Assault weapons should be banned from civilian use. Restrictions are not enough. Too many people have died in mass shooting because of these particular weapons.
Children in schools have to practice active shooter lock down drills, police presence has increased on campuses as well.
Our children have the right to go to school without worrying about a mass shooting.

Assault weapons were made for self defense but have been abused. I do agree that there should be stricter regulations on how people attain them and background checks are necessary, but I feel that people like teachers, should be allowed to attain a gun due to the fact that there has recently been school shootings and since millions of parents are putting their children's life in the hands of staff members of a school. I feel that school staff should rightfully be allowed to possess a gun for the safety of the children. It is not fair that we should not be allowed to own a gun because someone shot an innocent person who had no weapon to defend themselves with.

I don't think it matters how cool something is. It matters on how it is used and its purpose. Guns are MADE to kill so people are going to kill. I think even very strict regulations wouldn't stop deaths by gun shootings. Anyone can have a mental breakdown and have an episode.

I agree with the last part of your statement, however in what world is having access to weapons of war similar to those found in purple Fortnite chests "cool AF"? Tell that to the thousands of people every year who lose family and friends every year. Tell that to the victims of Sandy Hook. I believe that it's important to analyze the context and actual meanings of all of the amendments to the constitution. When the constitution was originally penned, it's clear that the founding fathers wished to provide a legal way for citizens to overthrow the government in the case of…  Read more tyranny. The second amendment aimed to upkeep a militia, as the army they had just used to fight Great Britian was made up of citizens with muskets. That being said, with the current weaponry and technology the national government has access to, as well as the immense political divides created by our pluralist government, there is no conceivable way that the people of America could overthrow the government. Furthermore, the constitution is explicitly written to be flexible and change with the times, as the problems in the 1700 and 1800s would be drastically different than those in the future. The founding fathers couldn't begin to comprehend the raw fire power of a Glock-16, let alone the assault weapons that are so accessible today. Random person, you're entitled to your own opinion, but please understand there is more to the issue of gun violence than just aesthetics.

well i also feel they should have safety regulation and background check. and and people younger then 18 should not be able to carry a gun

I agree with what this person said, assault weapons are made to kill, kill for a GOOD purpose. Killing the innocence's is not a good purpose, unlike killing someone or something trying to cause harm to your family, that's what assault weapons are made for, killing for a good purpose. Not everyone wielding an assault weapon has good intentions though, so background checks, mental health checks, etc. are very important especially in this day of age.

Although i agree with your point that there should be stricter regulations on how easily people may attain them, like background checks, mental health checks, safety courses and training, no should be allowed to obtain a gun just because they think it is school. Gun are a seriously dangerous weapon that can take a life in an instant therefore a serious weapon needs to be in the hands of a serious person who has gone thorugh a background check, mental health check, and so many other regulations to ensure that they will not use the gun for harm.

If the whole point of assault weapons are to kill, they should not be allowed. There are plenty of other guns to use for protection and hunting, nobody should own a gun that is for killing people (or designed to kill and not be a hunter).

They are a constitutional right, but they should not be, and take lives, and we should let the police have them, not public citizens.
