they didn't fight a bloody war for Independence against an oppressive regime, nor have they faced a torrent of blood in a Civil War.

The Puckle gun? That piece of shit? You're more likely to blow your own fingers off!
I can't think of any banned and confiscated vehicles.
Having said that, it looks like you've come up with a solution I don't agree with it, but it's more logical than banning a specific type of firearm.
Plus they have ties to the French. Anytime someone gets mad enough to consider pulling a gun the whole town just surrenders and has gay sex instead
how did a crazy person get a firearm? We wrote down the magic words...

On further look you are correct, none were banned and confiscated.... However they were pulled from production by the manufacturer so as not to lose revenue, or be susceptible to a class action suit.
My opinion is that (specifically regarding) the AR-15 manufacturers do not pull the weapon because 1) it's an admittance of sorts of the weapon being an issue (a low but potential probability) and 2) They don't want to lose earnings (the highest of probabilities).... They know their (seriously no pun intended) target demographic, the weapon is so hot button, that every time a event arises, and the "ban this weapon" gets stated, the AR/2A supporters go out and buy more of them. The manufacturer has no desire to find solutions to a possible "epidemic", they (as I suppose all corporations, from weapons, opiate pharm companies, and the guy who allowed those hoverboards that knowingly caught on fire) are only interested in earnings and keeping shareholders happy.
Like I said, if everyone were just transparent and honest...
AR supporters- The gun is fun to shoot, no practical hunting or protection need for it, it's just fucking fun.
Manufacturers/Gun Shops- It makes us BANK
Politicians- We get money from the Manufacturer. The more they sell, the more we get, so EVERYONE can have one.
All honesty, all transparency, all logic.
There's no galaxy in which the AR15 isn't a practical firearm for hunting and/or protection.
Regarding your more political assertions. I strongly suggest you look around at the current state of the gun industry.
#me too
true, but imagine going 200 years in to the future and listening to people argue that people of our time couldn't possibly have understood the dangers of autonomous helicopters...
That's basically the argument that people are making when they say "the Founders only knew muskets"
They should have listened god damnit, we would still have Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Faulty Analogy
This fallacy assumes that because two things are alike in one or more respects, they are necessarily alike in some other respect.
driving is not a natural right, and cars are far more dangerous than firearms.
we should also implement a 15 day cooling off period before the purchase of a car.
mandatory background checks (not just credit check).
cops should confiscate your car if there's a disturbance at your residence.
no car should be manufactured with the capability to exceed the speed limit.
a ban on high-capacity vehicles....
i could go on.

I think he was intimating "who are you to say what 'regular' citizens need?" but it's only a guess, why don't you ask him what he means?

Answer to thread title: to kill people at a waffle house.
So what about that makes today's citizens more violent?
Really?
Have you been to any major cities in Canada?
For our population size, I would think we are pretty diverse.
As well, Canada's official policy is a cultural mosaic and individual groups are encouraged to keep their cultural practices when the come to Canada. As opposed to America's Melting Pot...
I think that plays a large role but I dont think it can explain the whole picture.
I would guess, if you graphed nations income disparity and their rates of gun violence, America would still be an outlier.
people who uses AR rifle to conduct mass shootings or some shit like this^ makes up about less than 1% of the AR owners.
whatever way the other 99% are using, (hunting or recreational shooting) there's your reason.
