Assault weapons ban dropped from Senate bill

58. Let's talk bout rational

this separates the AR-15 traditional rifles it's ammo capacity. You ban the AR-15 but countless people hunt with guns that use the same exact ammo. What's rational allowing a guns that functionally the same, but since it look like a traditional rifle it's still legal. The AWB was a sound good/feel good bill. I'm far more scared of the millions of private guns sales that help flood guns on to streets of cities like my hometown of Detroit.

As he sold four handguns in a South Side parking lot last year, Levaine Tanksley boasted to his customer that there were plenty more illicit weapons available, investigators say.

"Twenty-five more in four hours," Tanksley told his customer, who was secretly working for law enforcement and recording the conversation. "Give me $5,000 and you can put your order in then. I'll get you whatever, give me a list."

As Tanksley, who police say has ties to a Chicago street gang, made his sales pitch, David Lewisbey was stocking up on more weapons at a gun show 40 miles away in Crown Point, Ind., one of several trips he made across the state border and back in little more than a day, according to federal authorities. Five hours later, Lewisbey, an unlikely gun trafficker then enrolled in college, was back in Chicago as Tanksley made good on his promise and sold the informant nine more guns, authorities allege.
