Before I engage you further please identify what you consider to be an assault rifle?
Please do more than just say "AR-15". Explain which components or features of the rifle you feel make it an assault rifle and should be banned.

I appreciate the subtlety.
Okay, let me say this:
The only guns that should be legal for citizens:
handguns, shotguns, and little 22s.
Have never heard an argument for anything more.

Ok now we are getting somewhere.
I guess you want to ban most hunting and target shooting?
Any centerfire rifle regardless of capacity or rate of fire should be banned? Despite legitimate purposes? Yet pistons, which are primarily designed for the killing of human beings, should be allowed?
What about a .22 in a AR-15 set up? That should be legal while a three round 30-06 should be banned?

Yes.
Which gets more shots fired in mass shootings. Small handguns or rifles? Any data on this?
We all know small handguns aren't going anywhere. We've got to try to accommodate the 2nd amendment after all. And between the two which is more likely to be used for mass shootings?

not even close. by the shitlib definition any shooting with over 4 victims is a mass shooting.
even if you only count public random mass shootings, handguns still overwhelmingly dominate.
if you only count public mass shootings from long distances outdoors, then rifles probably dominate, but there have only been two of those shootings in the past 30 years and the DC sniper shootings are more spree shootings than mass shootings.

This appears accurate. See below.
TBF, I think gun companies went nuts over ramping up handguns because they are after all "handguns" and non gun owners think of revolvers or little pea shooters when they think of "handguns"--as I just did.
Why not just do a revolver type of gun, a 22, a shotgun, and something for hunting? Why do we need anything else, at all, ever?

Looks like you are right on this point.
Handguns are what seem to be used the most in mass shootings. Evidently handguns carry a lot of power on their own.
Okay then, why not get rid of them altogether and just knock things down to revolvers, 22s, shotguns, and something for hunting?

Handguns can be powerful as fuck, but typical gun-ignorant people like myself think "handgun"--that's just a small thing you use for personal safety and its only got a few bullets in it and its like a revolver. When in reality a handgun can be a fucking Monster.

many people in favor or no assault weapon ban make a couple of arguments but the mainstream ones usually approximate:
1) second amendment does not place limitations on 'arms' and that is absolute, and
2) socially justifiable to open these weapons because an armed militia of ordinary citizens is somehow fundamental to operation of our democracy
#1 is demonstrably false because obviously we already regulate ownership of arms within reason. if you have have this
http://14544-presscdn-0-64.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/machinegun-m2491.jpg
then the government will come and take it away from you if you're discovered. you won't win that fight. we routinely and always have regulated certain types of 'machine guns.'
#2 is lulzy because the guys who think they're going to overthrow the government are inevitably fat sweaty little suburbanites like zimmerhero who wouldn't stand a chance against even half-assed national guardsmen in some kind of seditionist conflict. also explicitly contemplates traitorous armed rebellion against our government, LOL.

No you haven't. Nobody - nobody - thinks that the 2nd amendment protects your right to have an automatic weapon, hand grenade, howitzer, napalm bomb, etc. Maybe in your middle school class, pumo, but not here.
Also, you are correct, ownership of certain types of "machine guns" is regulated to the point to where they are basically banned: all of them. It's also totally illegal to have one made after '86 (or something like this).
Your second point is nonsensical, I'm not even 100% sure what you're trying to say.

I agree that it's childish argument and I have also seen it argued with passion on XO. I hear it from dumbs IRL all the time as well. if you think there aren't hordes of people out there who will insist that it's actually their constitutional right to have a grenade launcher or a fully auto gun shooting russian-made hollow point ammo from a giant banana clip, then you're living in a bubble.
I agree with your second paragraph but gun control advocates want broader regulation or currently legal items. regulation for transactions, ownership, tracking, and yes the physical features and capabilities of the gun. if you think that's all legislatively insurmountable then you lack imagination.
as for #2, you don't know that many hardcore gun ownership advocates (I know you'll rage at my with all your bonafides anyway) if you have never heard anyone state that the ability to adequately arm yourself in order to resist the government is fundamental consideration of the 2nd amendment, then again, you're living in a bubble. doughy suburbanites and hicks aside, how do you explain the position of ruby ridge types? you really think a watered down version of the militia/rugged-individualst approach to the rationale for constitutionally protected gun ownership is not a popular sentiment among gun owners? LOL. guess we agree to disagree.

I understand, more stopping power.
serving a benefit for some varieties of hunting isn't a strong argument.
it's not like these things are never at issue even if you disagree that an issue is present at all. you might even be familiar with this and I'm not saying they weren't just capitulating to some kind of shitlib city council pressure, but the fact remains, you're not taking some kind of 'quietly informed positions of the masses'

you're arguably biased on this issue but your personal enjoyment of guns notwithstanding it's weak and attenuated to simply say that it's impossible to define 'assault weapons.' then don't fucking define it and just call it increased regulation. nothing there runs afoul of the 2nd amendment unless you take some kind of tortured and compromised 'just the words' originalist stance. even your homeboy gorsuch can make reasonable distinctions.
most reasonable people arguing for additional gun control are arguing for broader general regulation and sensible narrower regulation on guns that have dangerous features that are designed for warfare and other activities that no ordinary citizen can legally engage in. make certain firing systems, clips, and ammunition illegal. we already do that some extent or at the very least intensely regulate.
fuck U and muscadine for making me align with spaceporn on this shit. it's not like there will ever be substantial increases in regulation anyway. we have proved over and over for the last 20 years that 're completely immune to that possibility.

Hey man, facts are facts. Automatic weapons are banned, all of these "assault weapon" bans are totally bullshit and merely ban certain cosmetic features of certain guns.
Also, the guns you talk about are responsible for some sort of crazy small percentage of gun crime.
I'm not really a gun nut. You want to really go after guns, ban handguns.

"insane gun violence" = handguns, statistically.
"insane gun violence" = mostly illegally used/ owned guns.
"insane gun violence" = best argument for why legal gun ownership is so important.

yes, very difficult problem
I'm counting accidental deaths and suicides and mass shootings (largely carried out with legal weapons) in there although I realize you likely disagree on the validity of that. what you may be alluding to is 'let them shoot it out in the ghetto cause they're gonna do it anyway' and I disagree with that position for sure.
third para is a mixed bag but if anything came of the zimmerhero debates it's that gun advocates have a hard time pointing to valid statistics about the number of lives saved by private gun ownership

it's certainly possible to arbitrarily define an assault weapon, but if you are going to ban a gun for having "dangerous" features, the burden on you is to show that these features are marginally more dangerous such that they should be banned - relative to any other gun.
Just saying they are dangerous, or have features designed for warfare is not relevant. If people want to play IRL Call of Duty at the range, the presumption of liberty rights wins out unless you have a compelling reason why they should not be able to play with their toys.
Of course you cant, because the truth is that no "assault weapon" is materially more dangerous than any other semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine, and that the danger of rifles is completely dwarfed by the danger of standard semi-automatic handguns which are responsible for almost all gun crime and violence.
So if you want to argue that all semi automatic weapons, but especially hand guns should be banned, that's at least a consistent argument, but try saying that and as a politician you will be voted out of office immediately.
Trying to win marginal victories on shit like assault weapons bans is just a erosion of the right to private gun ownership, just like 3rd trimester abortion parental notification is just an attempt to erode abortion rights.

that's all legally correct and reasonable but it's not the argument I hear made most often. you're Stanford educated lawyer with a high IQ who has actually spent some time thinking about the legal and policy implications. my OP was meant to shit on the GUN NUT arguments against regulation.
that being said, we can all think of plenty or legal and beneficial regulatory schemes for semi-autos. if you want to play seal team and make it look like a military rifle, knock yourself out, but want the feds and local government to track, tax, and regulate your enjoyment of this activity as they do many other things.
constant fear of 'erosion of rights' is just an expression of your cantankerous old reptile persona shifting on its heat rock.

Why should the feds track, tax or regulate my plastic black gun any more than any other gun?
The erosion of rights is absolutely true. Otherwise there would be no push for assault weapons bans which are conceptually indefensible.
How many times do people say "well we have to do something" - its a fucking dog and pony act to keep gun control in the narrative and energize the base with a "win"

they would have to apply more extensive regulation to most 'long guns,' particularly new purchases.
erosion of rights is an easy abstract threat to dive for in the argument. go ahead and make a serious argument that the government is going to gain the political will, wherewithal, and resources necessary to whittle gun ownership rights down to grandfathered antiques. you love your plastic army gun, I get it, but settle down.
third paragraph is bitter carping about thew political process. I don't think obama was thinking 'hehe good wedge hehe' when he practically had tears in his eyes calling for action after sandy hook. I know you hate obama so this is falling on deaf ears and just making you angry, but take an object look at where your fear comes from. you're perfectly reasonable on the issue of there be no good legal argument against military-looking weapons but then you get outraged over abstract threats to your right to own highly lethal toys.

None of the provided arguments do it, that's correct.
The real argument is that liberals want to ban guns to emasculate the populace, and insofar as that's what we're dealing with, we need to oppose them because the symbolic value of guns as representation of masculinity is one of the things standing between us and being humiliated by liberal nancyboys.
I would not like it to be this way. I would like to live in a society with a rational, dispassionate discussion about guns. In this context I might support the liberal proposals. But insofar as the conversation about guns is a proxy war for a larger discussion about the individual vs. the nanny state, well, I'm on team guns.
