    Trump admin nominee for top Pentagon job tells Congress it's "insane" civilians can buy semiautomatic assault rifles - like the type used in Sunday's deadly Texas church shooting. http://abcn.ws/2AhmSBO pic.twitter.com/2DeM0jJwIV

        That an angry person can walk into a church and fire over 200 rounds in under 5 min. Killing 26 people in the process. Can easily do it with detachable mag fed semiautomatic weapons.

        I agree. Let's start by getting rid of armed bodyguards for politicians and celebrities. They don't need that many guns.

        It is a semi-automatic rifle. The term “assault weapon” is an invention of the MSM and liberal repeal 2A folks.

        It may be “insane” but it’s also our right to bear arms. If the citizen with a gun hadn’t stopped this, who knows where the shooter would have headed next #madattheinlaws

        I’m sure Trump will now start calling him “weak” for having common sense.
