        Sorry civilians can't buy assault rifles The Act you referenced was an attempt at confiscation by *redefining* certain weapons according to the ban

        Umm shooter was not allowed to possess a firearm. So access is just another attempt to restrict law abiding citizens rights. The criminals don’t care about laws— they want more laws where citizens can’t protect themselves Stop this ignorant narrative

        And another shooting in the US......and a repeat of the same message as the last how many times. A sign of insanity is doing the same things expecting different results. Man there are a lot of stupid people in charge in the US.

        most mass shootings were preventable: 1) raise age to 21 yrs (Parkland) 2) put terrorist links into NICS (Pulse) 3) put SS/VA Mental Disability in NICS (Kissimmee police ambush) 4) no 3 day default sale NICS response (Charleston) 5) implement AR licensing/restrictions (most)

        These were not criminal masterminds with connections to the gun underworld. They were loners who would have been easily spooked off their plans.

        CBS: Extending the meme - as if restricting access to the most popular rifle for competitive shooting, target shooting, hunting will make a difference. Just a thought - focus on criminals and mental illness.

        Well, given that there are millions of these types of rifles in use, your concern is more paranoia than based in fact. Seriously, do some research..

        In the US a person is more likely to be bludgeoned to death with a blunt object or beaten to death with hands and feet than to be murdered with a rifle. Same for knives: More people are stabbed to death every year than are murdered with rifles. Your focus on rifles is absurd.

        It aint the gun or the laws thats doing the killing. Some of these people got no criminal record so whats the excuse? Who raising these people in society? Either ban all guns or implement help for people, Something is wrong here and it is not the guns. Same song different day.
