@digitalsiler Urban or rural, people suck everywhere. If they didn't we wouldn't need guns.

@finalform11 Two legitimate examples of when a semiautomatic firearm is preferable to a bolt-action rifle would be if you are trying to kill a herd of feral pigs that are destroying the crops in your field or a pack of coyotes or dogs attacking your livestock. You can laugh at this answer but these are real problems for farmers and ranchers. Regardless of whether they are 12 or 21 of 50 the vast majority of them are trained on how to use and respect a firearm be a single shot .22, a bolt action 30-06, or any of the wide-variety of semi-automatic pistols or rifles. There are so many makes and models of semi-automatic firearms going back over a hundred years that trying to ban and/or remove them all isn't feasible. It would be like if you were having trouble with high-end sports cars being driven too fast so you made laws effecting all vehicles with a manually shifted transmission ever made. I'd also like to point out that having an assault weapons ban didn't stop the Columbine school massacre or any of the other mass shootings that occurred between 1994 and 2004. We can make changes to gun laws around the edges of things like raising the age to purchase, reducing magazine size, or even banning the sale of certain firearms and we'll see varying degrees of compliance - more so in the liberal urban parts of the country, but you can forget about this happening in the conservative and rural parts of the country because in the country a semi-automatic firearm is both a useful tool and a damn good time.

@BillyBobThornt0n but probably not every county. The states that have legalized generally decide to let the individual counties and local communities decided how they want to regulate marijuana. It's often an urban/rural issue (again).

@mr.bojangles49 Especially if they live in states that elect conservatives or have 2nd amendment sanctuary laws.

@RandomYoutube123 Guns are also about recreation, and marijuana is also medicinal.
