The assault rifle thing was based on yellowoftops' comment, wherein he suggested that limits on quote-unquote assault rifles shouldn't exist, and that if a background check doesn't go through in three days, that person should get a gun. Ipso hence-o, Dylann Roof should have an assault rifle.

Ah. Gotcha. I didn't catch that part.

I'm not interested in arguing about this with people who suggest that I don't know what guns even are. My dad killed himself with a gun. I "grew up with guns". I know what they are.

You do what you need to, you be you. I'm really sorry for your loss. I can't stress that enough.

Though in my defense, I didn't say I think you don't know what guns are. I'm just trying to help you get a better base understanding of some of the laws, issues, and concepts around gun control as you seemed to have struggled formulating strong arguments in the last gun thread you posted. The links will stay up there for you to use if you want to check them out, if you don't though, I understand.

Here's hoping you have a great night though and that you enjoy your dinner. I bet it's both delicious and filling.
