Assault rifle is just a term. Doesnt mean much. Its about the man not the weapon. Give me just about ANY long gun worth a shit and I could easily pop as many people as I wanted to and they would never even know I was there until everything went black. What we NEED most is to find out WHY people are committing these kinds of acts and address it.
Gun people adamantly believe that guns are necessary to stop tyranny. This is why the 2nd Amendment exists.
However, history has debunked this belief. President Adams signed into law the Sedition Act of 1798, making it illegal to publish anything against himself or Congress. Guns didn't stop this tyranny. (Jefferson overturned this a couple of years later.) In more recent times, thousands of innocent Japanese and Italian Americans were rounded up at gunpoint and sent to internment camps during WW2. Guns didn't stop this tyranny, either. Likewise, in Hussein's Iraq, you couldn't walk down the street without seeing even teenaged boys carrying AK47s. And yet the Iraqi government routinely attacked its own people.
What really stops tyranny isn't an armed populace. We know from history that the Founding Fathers were wrong. What stops tyranny is an informed populace peacefully protesting in the streets. Look no further that the Arab Spring, during which people were able to topple a 25-year dictatorship in Tunisia without a single shot fired. Guns were outlawed in Tunisia, yet they overthrew the government regardless with peaceful protests.
Since the right to bear arms is enshrined in our Constitution, yes, Spametta. You remember that document, don't you, Spametta?
OTOH, I don't recall seeing a statue that allows citizens of other nations to enter ours at will, Spametta. Perhaps the usurper can wield his dictatorial powers and create one, Spametta.
It's worth noting that AFAIK we aren't free to enter other nations without obeying their immigration laws, Spametta.
Do you suppose that the USA should be the only country on the planet without national sovereignty, Spametta?
Think so, Spametta?
Barring the legal obstacles that would prevent your dream state from becoming reality, there's a practical aspect to consider, Spametta.
When has our government ever successfully eliminated anything via proscription, Spametta?
For example, how's the War on Drugs working, Spametta?
Does the the fate of the Eighteenth Amendment dent your boundless optimism, Spametta?
I'll understand if you think Beto Boi and the usurper will be able to disarm the entire populace, of course, Spametta.
What a fantasy life you lead, Spametta.
Take a look at this list and tell me how many successful uprisings gained victory through "an informed populace peacefully protesting in the streets", Spametta.

The Arab Spring (Arabic: الربيع العربي) was a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions that spread across much of the Arab world in the early 2010s.

Just because Ben Ali decided to flee without attempting to repress the protesters, that doesn't mean that "what really stops tyranny isn't an armed populace," in every historical example, Spametta.
The catalyst for mass demonstrations was the death of Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old Tunisian street vendor, who set himself afire on 17 December 2010 in protest.
When will you emulate Mohamed Bouazizi and immolate yourself to free the USA from evil guns, Spametta?

It's all your talk and other rightys talk. You guys cry like babies about someone, mostly the left, taking away your guns, and every year we sell millions. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-fr...firearm-sales/ What is wrong with you big babies?
