How will we ever find solutions to issues if this is what passes for "rational discussion" these days?

All that ignorance of the public concerning guns is exploited to the fullest by the demagogues, who lie in their teeth to manipulate them into the false security of more "gun control", especially "assault weapons".
WHAT THEY SAY
From the Violence Policy Center (VPC) website:
"The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons [sic] —anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons.”
WHAT THEY MEAN
The American public is generally ignorant about guns, so we can lie to them very effectively by equating “ugly” rifles like the semi-auto AR-15 as “the same thing as the 'machine gun' Army M-16”, after all they look alike, don't they?
That is enough “proof” for these stupid people.
The “confusion” of the public about guns is not to be eliminated by teaching them the difference between an AR-15 (semi-auto ONLY) and M-16 (selective – semi or FULL-auto).
We gain nothing by telling the truth. That would ruin our plans to advance our goals for more useless “gun control”. We must cultivate this public ignorance about guns, and exploit this ignorance as much as we can, to fool the public into thinking the way we want them to think.
We can stress the point that many states do not allow these guns for hunting deer (they are considered to lack the power to kill big game humanely), which is what most urban citizens think of as the only “good purpose” for guns. We will ignore the fact that the Armalite Rifle 15 (AR-15) and the Army M-16 both fire a "varmint" type cartridge, civilian developed for hunting woodchucks, prairie dogs, crows and various other small “pests” before it was adapted by the Military.
Of course we will not mention any other “lawful uses” other than hunting deer, such as "varmint hunting", or target shooting . We will just keep repeating, over and over ----
“NOBODY NEEDS A MACHINE GUN TO HUNT DEER”.
