At this point, the objective of the DIMS is disarming the citizenry—Nothing more.
Once that is understood, everything they’re doing makes sense.
That Republicans are signing on is more than a little troubling.
AWB did not ban semi autos or bump stocks. Higher capacity mags were banned but still readily available.
Yeah, and the ban on shooting people worked just as well...
Just like all the laws against murder have stopped people from killing.
Chris Murphy should feel free to volunteer to knock on doors when the confiscations start, if he’s so committed to the cause of public safety.
All the Hollywood bigshots should feel free to sign as well.
A semi-auto AR with a cheap 7X scope, some basic training beyond spray and pray, would have killed double or triple that amount, with less wounded.
Yeah, assault weapons bans really worked well in Paris, France on November 13, 2015 when 130 were killed by suicide bombers and shooters, 89 at the Eagles of Death Metal show alone by ISIS terrorists wielding “banned” AK47s.
Don’t forget he was a pilot and could have killed many more in that crowd with a plane.
Prohibition did stop all Drinking ,D’oh
No one outside the Democrat party and the media (but I repeat myself) gives a rat’s ass what some sh!tstain from CT thinks about guns. We all know that the majority of the subjects there would urinate in their clothes at the sight of a gun kind of like Australia or NYC. Notice to Democrats - No one in real America is buying your bullsh!t
Well senator - the ban DID expire and we’ve been stocking up like crazy for over 20 years just in case you would try something that tyrannical again. There are easily 60 million semi-auto sporting rifles out there alone and most are owned by people who would die before they would ever turn them over. Your move.
Another ignorant and uninformed worthless politician.
No. He’d have blown up that stuff in his trunk or he’d have started a fire in the hotel after blocking all the stairwells. Or a dozen other things.
If only Prohibition was still in effect every DWI death in the past 85 years would have been prevented!
Yes they know quite well that nothing they propose will stop mass murderers. That is not nor has it ever been their goal. Their goal is an America where only the police and military have access to firearms. Any rhetoric that advances that goal is good. Any chance to seize upon the emotion of the brain dead masses who are also incapable of logic (and if you look at the number of Hillary voters you'll see that there are a lot of them) is also touted out at every opportunity.
If anyone thinks that Democrats are appalled at mass shootings you are mistaken. They are overjoyed every time one happens. Before the smoke has blown away they're dancing in the blood of the victims touting gun control ban this, register that all with the ultimate goal of total civilian disarmament in mind.
NO LAW that you can make up in your brain can stop a lawbreaker from action. PERIOD.
I think Connecticut will be turning red. People there are getting upset with Governor Malloy. Watch Connecticut in 2018 and 2020...
If outlawing a type of gun will work WHY NOT TAKE IT ONE STEP FURTHER AND OUTLAW MASS MURDER...
