That's a lot of words to say, "I have no way to back up my claims." "Go research for yourself" is the last bastion of those whose arguments fail to stand up to scrutiny. You have a lot to say, and so far in this thread the only single piece of evidence you've provided is a Youtube video. The AR's history is that it's a weapon of war.
I get the impression you have a lot of personal experience with guns, and you've probably been exposed to training in order to increase your comfort level, but "go research for yourself, and your research will obviously make you agree with me" doesn't change the reality that you haven't actually given any evidence for the stats you spouted. Save the condescension for your family and neighbors.
If you want your position to be taken seriously, back it up. Otherwise, everyone will continue to care nothing whatever about what you say.
That's all.
Pot calling the kettle black. Unlike you, I have read the bill. I knew what I voted for when I chose not to support Measure 114. You asked me to hand you supporting evidence for my viewpoints on a silver platter, I don’t do that for keyboard warriors such as yourself. If you’d like to show your interested in a legitimate discussion by showing some sort of fact from your way of looking at it I’m happy to look at it. Your sarcastic claim that I “obviously want you to agree with me” is grotesquely mistaken and again keyboard warrior click bait. Good luck with your journey, you obviously have nothing further to offer.
