The Rude Pundit: Adam Lanza Fired Over 150 of These in Less Than Five Minutes

144. That's what I've been saying for three months now

This is being pushed by Democrats that have failed as a group to reign in the big banks, big oil, big pharma, the wealthy and their political influence, the Patriot Act, torture, war crimes, etc.


And passing a ban on "assault weapons" gives them the pretense of doing something when they are really doing nothing. trust me, they will be begging you and I for money and waving this piece of useless legislation as proof of how tough they are.


It's a farce. If semi automatic rifles that feed from detachable magazine are the problem, then ban semiautomatic rifles! No exceptions.


But are any of the politicians that are thinking the podium about gun control actually addressing the problem? NO!


The anti gun politicians that your side has been holding up as being serious about creating down on gun violence have been feeding you pablum fur a couple of decades now.


Not a one of them had dared to propose banning all semiautomatic rifles as a class. It's not even on the table. The entire political scene since Newtown has been theater feeding from moral outrage to buttress their own failures in pretty much all other political issues.


As to your other point, you are still talking about making massive changes to try to limit what is, statistically, a very minor problem.

Maximum political effort for minimal return. Yay.
