I think you're missing what QD is saying. He is not saying there shouldn't be new Restrictions, in fact he does want more restrictions. He just doesn't think Banning Assault Rifles outright will do anything. That is where the debate is, Outright Ban vs. New Restrictions, not no Restrictions vs. New ones. That fight is with the NRA, which is an entirely different fish.

My deal is I just don't think New Restrictions will stop enough. There have been 998 "massacres" since Sandy Hook, think about how many have actually been nationally reported? 16(based on Obama's press speeches about them) just about, out of 998. And a significant majority involved Assault Rifles. Yes, we can place new Restrictions, but how much would new Restrictions stop? Not all of these people are like the Orlando shooter, who was a blatant homophobe and a domestic abuser. Some of these guys are just normal people who just have one bad day. Because that's all it takes. Just one bad day. Sure, some will still do it, and will try to get these guns illegally under a ban, but how many people do you know with illegal weapons, or know how to get them? I sure don't know any, nor do I know how. A ban on Assault rifles is the only way to insure that shit like Orlando, and all the other massacres, stops happening, or at least drops significantly. I do understand that regulations would help, but I don't think they would help enough, to cause a dent nationally in massacres, or in Gun Violence Deaths overall.
