    "Banning semi-automatic firearms and accessories has been shown time and again to not prevent criminal activity and simply punishes the law-abiding for the criminal acts of others," @NRA spokesperson responds to Pres. Trump's push to ban bump stocks. http://cbsn.ws/2HyQSNS pic.twitter.com/6YuR0u4Bkb

        Uh, that's not true. The frequency and casualty count of mass shootings has gone through the roof since the assault weapons ban ended in 2004. A ban that Trump USED TO SUPPORT.pic.twitter.com/tB6DjY9aHq

        There are currently 7 states plus D.C. that have an assault style weapons ban. Your meme is lame.

        Jennifer Baker is full of BS. Of course, getting rid of machine guns on R streets will make a HUGE difference! STOP memberships in the NRA.

        Then how do you explain the drop in shootings during the years of the assault weapons ban? I know you folks aren’t much for facts and figures, so this ones an easy read:https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/9740352 …

        More "law-abiding, gun-owning" Americans actually get shot and killed, shoot themselves or others, have children shot with their guns, or get their guns stolen than ever get to use them to stop crime or protect themselves. Check the facts & statistics. #WAKE_UP_AMERICA

        #NRA comments are simply NOT true. Why can't they, #realDonaldTrump, #Republican lawmakers, or anyone else been able to explain why so many countries with much stricter gun control laws have far less gun-related crime and violence. #WAKE_UP_AMERICA it's time to #TakeBackAmerica

        It works for every other 1st world country. The NRA & its supporters are selfish in their thinking. Ya ya I know *my rights* I get it. HOWEVER the amendments say you do have the right to bear arms however it does not specify how many or what kind. I am sick of kids dying

        However how is it really infringing on it. They would still have the right to bear arms but not be allowed to have weapons that could mow down any one we love. We really do not have a need as civilians for me. My husband took out 3 robbers with a 22 so I know it can be done LOL

        NRA hasn’t allowed Congress to study the effects of gun violence in America. NRA is a terrorist organization that wants to sell as many guns as possible. They do not care if people die. AR15 is a military style weapon that has killed many people. No one should own it.

        Any ban or restriction of any guns can only be a positive step. To state otherwise is just the ramblings of a cuckoo
