Question for 2nd amendment literalists: Would you support a temporary assault weapons ban if it was proven to reduce mass shootings, with the potential of lifting it after systems were put into place to solve root causes (I.e. mental health) and why/not?

I would appreciate clarification because “the problem being solved” sounds like a net positive that puts personal wants over reduction of casualties

I’ll make it as broad as possible without banning any specific firearm: A ban on the manufacture, import, and commercial sale of detachable ammunition feeding devices holding more than, for example, 10 rounds (as shown to be correlated with higher casualty amounts in shootings), and of any device that materially increases a firearm’s cyclic rate of fire.

Pls don’t sit here and argue semantics, with enough good willed conversation people can come to a reasonable consensus for what can be allowed and what banning will cause a net good

Because that’s not what they want n u know it. They just gave an example. Also, what percentage of hunting rifles store more than 10 at a time? It’s definitely not a majority.

We’re talking about guns not abortion. I get the point you’re making. We’re not asking to debate the semantics/details, we’re asking if it were possible for there to be a set of details you’d agree is a reasonable restriction
