In reply to the discussion: Assault weapons ban dropped from Senate bill [View all]Botany
(76,311 posts).... both republicans and democrats to act then I just fucking give up.
The AR 15 is a civilian version of the M-16 and the M-16 was modeled after
the AK-47 which was developed by Mikhail Kalashnikov for use in WW II in the
brutal conditions like the battle of Stalingrad. The bushmaster AR 15 shoots
a .223 round that has little recoil but wicked power .... 3,200 ft/sec and it is
made to tumble after it hits somebody.
All the Senators and Congresspersons who are against doing something against
these killing machines should be made to look at the pictures of those dead babies.
Australia had a problem and then they banned assault weapons and they haven't
had a mass killing since ...... after we let the assault weapons ban expire in the
US we have a huge uptick in mass killings using those guns.
As for answers ..... I just don't know but I am sick of the status quo and all those
people who yell about their 2nd amendment rights but at the same time idiots
w/guns are walking all over our 1st amendment right to be able to peacefully
assemble ..... along with the preamble to the decleration of independence ..
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
BTW I have hunted and owned guns for years but I am sickened by our failure
to act to stop gun violence in America.
sorry to rant
