This Sunday morning on Meet the Press (4) and Face the Nation (2) I watched Colorado governor Jared Polis essentially avoided just saying plainly that a major deterrent to the mass shootings that plague Colorado (and the country) would be to re-instate the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban. Instead, he pushed a "just one part" of a series of initiatives to address the problem. Then you had Rep. James Comer (R-KY) parrot the usual GOP line that new gun laws won't address the issue, that it's a mental health issue. Thing is, the last time new funding for national mental health initiatives was on the Congressional floor, only 1 Republican voted in favor of it.
Bottom line: The 1994 AWB didn't stop gun crime and it didn't deprive law abiding citizens access to a plethora of shotguns, rifles, revolvers, semi-automatics, hunting rifles, etc. But as soon as it sunset in 2004 (with GOP approval) the assault rifle of choice for the majority of mass shootings since has been the very weapons on that ban list.
A matter of history, a matter of fact. It ain't rocket science folks.

Hey toodles! I see you're once again reading and responding to my posts (which you have said aren't worth doing either). Seems you've got issues.
But putting that aside, let me reiterate ...
Bottom line: The 1994 AWB didn't stop gun crime and it didn't deprive law abiding citizens access to a plethora of shotguns, rifles, revolvers, semi-automatics, hunting rifles, etc. But as soon as it sunset in 2004 (with GOP approval) the assault rifle of choice for the majority of mass shootings since has been the very weapons on that ban list.
So your response is based on historical error on your part (willfully or ignorantly). Carry on.

Did I say that? Really? IIRC you are the one who said more than once that you were sorry you took me off of ignore so go play your transference games with someone else sweet cheeks.
As for the rest of your stuff, what weapon is used in the vast majority of gun crimes? Here's a hint, it isn't a so-called assault weapon. This is why I said what I said, I don't think you're based in reality right now. This is what you get when you let others dictate reality to you...stop doing that. You of all people should know better.
Don't be afraid to see what you see
