Republican signs on!

It will never happen. Get used to that. Quit trying to punish law abiding Americans, it will not end well for you. JK, keep trying to usurp our God given Constitutional rights.

Lol, he is afraid righties might take back the government one day, and he does not want to face this reckoning.

[SmarterthanYou]

notice how both republicans AND democrats are all about dismantling the 2nd Amendment to ensure that their wills and desires can be forced on a public unable to resist?????? why do y'all hate freedom?

Yeah, pretty much everyone is going to go after white, Democrat liberals. Especially minorities.

I'm perfectly willing to take that miniscule risk in favor of keeping my 2nd Amendment rights.

And you and your ilk want to render me unable to protect myself and my family. Thanks.

The assault weapon ban at the end of the day is a ban of semi-automatic weapons. Saying the word "assault" adds a level of scariness to it which appeals to the fears of people that have not had much exposure to firearms.

Notice how you have to make idiotic, hyperbolic, and nonsensical comments about everything. I get it, that's your schtick, but you're still a douchebag for it. The percentage of republican RINO's who favor gun control is nowhere the number of Dems. Who else is going to represent our interests? Liberal-tarians? Please.

In other words, gullible, ignorant, control freak, ASSHOLES.

Most Americans that are for these kinds of bans just simply don't have much exposure to guns and lack experience and true knowledge, that's really all it is to me. The simple truth is that probably 95-99% of legal gun owners are never going to harm another human being with their weapons. They store them safely and use it for things like hunting, sport, and in the unlikely event for self defense. It's a shame that we don't consider gun ownership with a sort of reversed mentality than we currently do as a nation by talking about how many gun owners are safe, law abiding people that use their guns legally and in a safe and controlled way every day instead of making it seem like there is a gun on every corner ready to shoot someone all on its own. In the fall when I go hunting with my dad or boyfriend the local news won't cover the deer that I kill or the ducks that we kill, but they obviously cover gun crimes whenever possible. It gives the impression that there are more gun crimes and gun issues out there than the safe, routine moments that happen daily with guns that harm nobody at all.

exactly . assault weapons are "military style" but they are just semi-automatics
It's a false hope banning them will make any difference at all

The last assault weapons law did not ban all semi-automatic weapons. And it did not accomplish anything. Homicide rates were dropping before, during, and after the ban.

oh yeah, sportsmen(women) own 95-99% of the legal guns, there is no problem with too many out and no nationwide mandatory strict regulation

just a coincidence the streets are FULL of military grade assault weapons (oh and some bolt action Remington deer rifles/shotguns)


Half of all firearm-related deaths in 2016 occurred in just six countries – all in the Americas – according to a study.

Brazil had the largest gun deaths toll, with over 43,000 people killed that year. The US was next with 37,200. It was followed by Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Guatemala.
