Thom Hartmann: How many more killed until sensible gun control?

4. You mean 1995, or 2003 right? (Something inside the span of the ban?)

That's also incorrect. He COULD have acquired every single weapon and magazine he possessed the night of the shooting. It would have been a different model AR-15, because Smith and Wesson wasn't making those back then, but there were flat-top AR-15's for sale in 1995, new in box from other manufacturers. The features it would have been missing to comply with the law wouldn't have factored into this slaughter at all.

The beta-c mag would have been very expensive, as much as the rifle itself, but that would have been the only 'rare' component in the pile of shit he had on him that night. (And like most beta-c mags, the stupid thing jammed on him)

The 1994 AWB had no impact on this issue, unless, and I haven't heard this reported, but unless he fixed a bayonet to the end of his rifle, and stabbed someone with it.
