Semi-auto hunting rifles and pistols are fine, ehh? There's very little difference in my 30 round magazine AK and an 18 round tube 22 LR rifle. Both are semi-automatic. Both can kill a lot of people very quickly. Pistols are the same. If you mean full auto, most people already do not have access to them. The few of us who do have to jump through a lot more hoops to get them. There are special protections and requirements to have and keep them too.
There could be a school shooting every day, and I still wouldn't give up my military style weapons. How about we stop giving SSRI mind altering doctor prescribed drugs to people instead? How about we focus on the one thing that is always in common with these shooters, and it isn't the guns they use?
Einstein implied nuclear weapons, or he wouldn't have said the next war would be with sticks and stones. He meant we'd wipe each other out, and nuclear weapons is the most likely weapon to do that. He knew there would be more powerful weapons, sure, so perhaps that is why he said he didn't know which weapon in particular. There are other weapons than nukes that can take out an entire city for example.
We can agree to disagree on his quote though, for neither of us know for sure what he was talking about. He was one of the principle people working on the nuclear program for the USA though, so I highly suspect he meant nuclear weapons or something just as or more destructive as them. Today we are closer to them being used than ever before too.
Fun times, ehh? Let's talk about disarming governments perhaps and not individuals. My rifles cannot cause a 10 year nuclear winter. I'm not going to kill millions of people either.

You are very liberal about agreeing to disagree. I am making a point of wanting you to admit you were wrong, we can both suspect whatever we want but what I said was right. I am that petty that I want you to acknowledge it. I think it will make you a better person. Then I promise I will argue with you some more and learn some stuff and probably you will too
Sorry to be a bit more specific. About Einsteins quote...it has been a long argument so id like to win it and be done
You want the largest arms dealer, (and user),in the world to be able to use violent force to disarm peaceful American citizens who have a constitutional right to own the weapons of their choice.
Sir, you lost the argument a long time ago. Pack it in.
Where have I stated that I support the American government or even implied it in the slightest? I support a better world.
Why do people argue and only read what they want to see? Put some effort into it and actually reply to my points.
