And, once again, the party charges up the hill of the useless Assault Weapons Ban

[OffWithTheirHeads]

46. Yup! More bullshit grandstanding.

A background check would be a start but if it doesn't apply to gun shows its just posturing.

An assault weapons ban? What's an assault weapon? Any semi automatic gun? Good luck with that! If you don't own a revolver you probably own a semi automatic gun. Any idea how many millions of these are in circulation? Let's talk AR15s. According to some anti gun sources like Nicole Sandler who does not, and never has owned a gun ( and I love Nicole but this sounds like the people who have never seen pornography but know it's bad). There are currently over 25 million AR15s currently in circulation. How are you going to fix that? Do you really think everyone with an AR is just going to turn it in?

Let me tell you about the AWB in California. Could you buy an AR in California? You bet cha. It couldn't have more than a ten round magazine and couldn't have an adjustable stock but it was the same gun. Just didn't look as scary. Grandstanding.

This did a lot to prevent NOTHING because I could drive to Arizona and buy a Magpull adjustable stock and Magpull 30 round magazines without showing so much as a drivers license.

So, let's get serious about gun control.. There should be universal background checks to buy a gun, end of subject. You should also have to take a class in what the consiquences of using that gun are. If you shoot somebody, this is what you will go through.

But... Nothing will happen because our politicians don't actually want to fix the problem, they just want to grandstand.

Sort of like the undocumented workers. How do you fix that? Arrest the people that hire them. Good luck with that.
