‘Assault Weapons’ Ban, Firearms Licensing Did Not Stop Terrorist with AK-47 in Istanbul(T)

Turkey, which recently suffered an attack in the Istanbul airport by a terrorist with an AK-47, has a complete prohibition on private ownership of semiautomatic rifles, firearm licensing requirements, and background checks.

In American leftist lingo, an AK-47, a type of semiautomatic rifle, is an “assault weapon.” AK-47s are completely banned from private possession. That, however, did not keep a terrorist from getting one. And that alone highlights the foolishness of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wisc.) pursuit of more gun control following the June 12 Orlando terror attack.

In fact, the gun controls in Turkey are so strict that a terrorist in position of an AK-47 only highlights what we should have already learned from Chicago–namely, that gun control empowers wicked people, while making law-abiding citizens vulnerable.

1. Universal background checks

2. Close gun show loophole

3. Increase font size on "NO FIREARMS/SUICIDE VEST BEYOND THIS POINT" signs at entrances to airports.

Have betrayus, mccrustal and margabby kelley-giffords implement these items and include them on the dnc party platform. I mean, how hard is that anyway.

and put Gun Free ZONE signs up, so the shooters know where the easy targets are.

Time to start putting up “Free gun zone” signs instead.

We can make logical arguments till the cows come home and it won’t matter. Cultural Marxists will never give up they have to be forcibly re-educated or eliminated. Personally, I favor helicopter rides for the leaders then the sheep will fall into line.

The weapon in the Paris attack was supplied by none other than Obama/Holder

Hmmmm. One weapon reportedly came from the Phoenix area, atf declined to pursue the seller(accessory to murder?), billy boy and lala were in Phoenix discussing grandkids and golf. Hmmmmm!
