Yea I have had thus conversation more than once with my MIL. "They should ban assault weapons. " "ok, what does that mean?" "You know, the assault ones."

I don't own any guns so I don't have any skin in the game, but it's tough to have a productive discussion when one person has no idea what they even want.

I’m not pro or anti gun - I definitely think there needs to be more effective regulation - but one thing that I see often is a dismissal of a comment like this guy’s. Something like “people writing the legislation obviously don’t know anything about guns!”

If some time is taken to gain education about the weapons and their characteristics, it would probably make it easier to draft more specific (and hopefully effective) legislation. It would also take away the “you don’t know anything about guns!” Defense used by a lot of pro gun people/groups whenever this conversation inevitably rears its ugly head again

It's 35 feet from my front door, which no one in the building uses, to the street. It is 125 feet from the garage, which no one has exclusive use to use. The driveway is 125 feet long and is only wide enough for one car, and the live-in landlord has exclusive parking except for snowstorms. The spaces in front of our building allow for 2 cars to park, but are shared with the 2 dozen or so other neighbors that live around us. There is also a sidewalk that would need to be crossed in order to charge the car.

If 7 cars were to need to be charged, how do you see that working?
