Doing something that does nothing is even worse.

what's next?
I go to the Drivers License place stand in line, take a test assuring the officers I can handle the physical responsibility , prove I have insurance in case there is a fiduciary responsibility in case
a) someone dies or is injured due to my negligence
b) I display reckless behavior resulting in anothers loss or damage to property
...........
If I have a record of abusing the privilege of driving a machine that can take out dozens at a time -- that privilege can and will be revoked and I will face the possibility of jail time
Should I have such a record, not only I not be granted a drivers license but even if I do, no insurance company will cover my dead beat ass.
Owning a weapon is a privilege. As is owning/driving a car
This isn't hard
.......
Next week we will register a dog

Please list the 'daily' mass shootings
How does any of this stop any of the recent shootings?

This is a link to a scatterplot I put together a while back. The 50 dots represent state data showing on one axis gun ownership per capita and on the other axis gun deaths per capita.

Reminder:
The U.S. government banned the sale of lawn darts in the aftermath of a child's death in 1987.
Lawn darts.

well, what rights are you supposedly losing ?
and so what.
Why does your interpretation of your rights trump a another's rights to " life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness" ?
I see owning a dog as much a right as owning an AR-15
I see the right to play lawn darts equal to the right to own an AR-15
And, why do I have to stop at stop signs ?

I would think your rights stop where they infringe on another's well being
and so what.

I've been searching the Bible for god-given rights and while
I've found the right to get your father drunk and sleep with
him (Genesis 19:30-38) and the right to sell your daughter
into slavery (Exodus 21:7-11), I'm not finding any god-given right
to an AR-15. help me, scholars!

Society "oppresses" its citizens in all sorts of ways.
People are told they have to vaccinate their children if they want access to public schools.
People have to participate in social security.
People have to make themselves available for military drafts.
People have to buy insurance in order to legally operate their cars.
These are choices that different societies make in various ways. Some try to accomodate "dissenters" more than others. It is true that in some sense those decisions are oppressive and infringe on rights. That's what a political system is for. To work out these competing claims.
I don't think you owning an AR-15 is a dangerous thing. But to have millions of assault rifles out there circulating IS a dangerous thing. Let's not trip ourselves over a fallacy of composition.

Often the hardest part of being an adult is understanding it isn't always about oneself or what is best for me. (me me)
I don't think Anderson Davis's family gives a flying **** about the excuse of your so called "rights"

This is Anderson Davis. She is 17 months. She was shot by a gun in #OdessaShooting.
She has shrapnel in her right chest.
She has a hole through her bottom lip and tongue.
Her front teeth were knocked out.
Here is how to help her: https://gofundme.com/f/17-month-old-that-was-shot
A gofund me for a 17 month old child that was shot up on the street with a war weapon some selfishly defend the "right" to own.
The email Lady coined a term for people of that ilk

It's called trial and error and without it we'd all be dead or still living in caves.

The day you realize that an emotional argument wont work when trying to take away my constitutional rights is the day you'll save yourself a lot of time.
It's the same reason why you couldn't care less that there are more third trimester abortions than gun homicides in this country

Obviously, nothing prevents any of us from caring about both. It's not as if action on one prevents action on the other.
