I just spelled out the question, and you refused to answer. That’s no fault of mine.

So you’re lost and confused. The right to keep and bear arms is very relevant to the discussion. There’s no honestly denying that

That’s not a riddle. I just told you the question.

“besides being inapposite”

“I do not know what you mean by that statement.”

“Birth control should be free”

That’s reasonable. Allow them to decide for themselves what coverage to offer.

I mean exactly what I said. What are you not understanding?

It is unfortunate that some people choose to harm others, but that’s life

“The answer is, of course, that sometimes excessive force is necessary and it’s their job to be the instrument of that force.”

We’re not discussing sensible legislation.

Why do you think being aware of reality involves watching too many movies?

Oh great, so make them less reliable to boot. That’s a pretty shit idea

Inviting death threats? How so?

So no answer? Criminals get to shoot away while their victims wait for their firearms to reset?

“This could be achieved by requiring a tool to change magazines (California does this), requiring a manual slide (pump action) to reload but easy magazine change, etc.”

Impossible. It cannot be made not a right, it could only have legal protections removed

Why should law enforcement get semi-auto firearms?

So how would you make such a firearm function?

Then (if you’re worried about being shot by a criminal) just move somewhere you feel safe.
