[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assault weapons bans work, don’t let the NRA “culture issues” sway you. They work. [twitter]https://x.com/mikejason73/status/1529992509920890884?s=21&t=QoUsmJbwoSilhXvC-rIebg[/twitter][/quote]

+1.  They were banned before and should be banned again.  It was fine.[/quote]

How?

In today's Cargill/bump stock opinion, the following statement from 
Sotomayor/Kagan/Jackson will have major implications for any attempted  AR-15 ban cases. Their dissent reads: "Within a matter of minutes, using several hundred rounds of
ammunition, the [Las Vegas] shooter killed 58 people and wounded over 500. He did so by affixing bump stocks to COMMONLY AVAILABLE, SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLES."

This statement in a precedent S.Ct case on firearms is a devastating legal admission by the left leaning members of our highest court that AR-15s are “commonly available.”

If you have read the Heller decision, the standard for a gun which CANNOT BE BANNED, is “in common use.”

Until you re-write the BOR, any attempt to ban the AR-15 is unconstitutional.

How about trying to put more criminals behind bars instead?

The Las Vegas shooter had no criminal record before he killed 58 people. Trying to put more criminals behind bars is a great idea, but how do you handle somebody who, at the time he purchased all those firearms, was a law-abiding citizen?[/quote]

That's the crux of it all and why the "put more criminals behind bars" is a non-serious response that the GOP uses to distract. As is the common excuse about addressing mental health (which they also don't want to do anything about). If anything, the GOP wants to make it EASIER to acquire guns. The reality is that we are living in a devolving dystopia, and it's going to take some future generation (not this one obviously) to fix it.[/quote]
