Is Don Jr. right about a baseball bat being just as dangerous as an assult rifle?

Shortly after the last school shooting Don Jr. did a speech bad mouthing gun regulations. Then he went on a rant about how a person with a baseball bat could kill just as many people as a person with an assault riffle in the same amount of time.  I suppose that could be true if there was a long line of people nailed to the floor and the person with the bat could go along the line and take the people out one at a time. But besides that Jr. doesn't know what he is talking about and it was just his sick way of justifying  assault weapons. Cheers!

    We all know some people are idiots because they are still blaming mental health for the gun problem. Guns aren't the problem people are. SChitazz statement. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at May 31, 2022 9:10 PM MDT

    Look at countries who banned guns...their murder rate did not go down.  People just use different methods.  Arson, knives, vehicles etc.   And their assaults increased....can you say sitting duck.

    Our murder rate went down SHARPLY. Assaults were trending up before that.

    Nope. It remained fairly steady. Gun ban was in 1996...murders were 356 that yr. As you can see from the data they remained steady if not an increase for the next 8 yrs.

    So your murders stayed steady to increasing and you assaults increased for 8 yrs following the gun ban.

    Well, you know, distinction is due, because d-bag is for woman and s-bag if for men. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at May 31, 2022 11:58 AM MDT

    Well what about if the douchebag was full of hot air it would probably float and get blown far away from the tree by the winds. Cheers!

    He may be an idiot, as Element asserts, but the fact remains that gun laws would do nothing to prevent mass shootings. In this case, you're just shooting the messenger because you don't like him.

    What are you talking about? I didn't ask if the messenger should be shot and I didn't ask if  gun regulations work. I just asked if a baseball bat is just as dangerous as an assault riffle. This post was edited by Nanoose at May 31, 2022 9:11 PM MDT

    You referred to Donald Trump Jr. He's the messenger, and shooting the messenger is a commonly used figure of speech.

    Oh I am fairly certain you know what I am talking about. And it is likely other members know what I am talking about because they saw the post.

    Except for that one time when he said to his father - you don't care about us you only care about money. Cheers!

    I notice that he doesn't go big game hunting with a baseball bat.

    Right now his hunting guide is being charged with bear baiting. Bear baiting is were you put out a bunch of food for the bear then while the bear is eating it the hunter jumps out from behind a rock and shoots the bear - that is not hunting. Cheers!

    A baseball bat isn't as lethal as a gun even if it has a bunch of nine inch nails driven through it.

    Depends on who is using the bat.  And who it using the gun. 

    There are years were murders by blunt object exceed murders by all rifles.
