@elonmusk Thoughts on the AR-15 discussion or too controversial for you to weigh in on?

@AJDelgado13 Assault rifles should at minimum require a special permit, where the recipient is extremely well vetted imo

@elonmusk @AJDelgado13 A gun is a gun is a gun when it comes to those commonly available to civilians. "Assault rifles" (as gun opponents have broadly defined) are no more/less deadly than other avail firearms. "Assault rifles" (full automatic fire kind you likely mean) already banned/highly restricted

@elonmusk @AJDelgado13 In truth, anti-gun activists seek severe restrictions on, and oppose in concept, any individual civilian RIGHT to own ANY firearm, even though it is an inalienable right specifically recognized in the U.S. Constitution under the Second Amendment. This is the debate.

@TomFitton @AJDelgado13 How about a middle ground, where the licensing standard for semi-auto rifles is a driver’s license, age 21 and no rap sheet? Basically, what is a reasonable way to make it harder for people with homicidal impulses to obtain body count maximizing weapons?
