The AWB didn't make any "attacks" "illegal" that weren't already illegal. It didn't address "attacks"; it tried to ban hardware.
AR 556 might have an MSRP of $850, but nobody ever pays that much for one. They’ve been on sale around here for as low as $499.
Also left unsaid, but inferred, is that the MSR's are just Barbie Dolls for men. Dress them up men! And ladies also.
Oh. A semi-auto rifle. First produced 112 years ago.
So now we know more about the rifle than we do about the murderer who used it to murder people. That’s kind of goofy.
What kind of rifle did the guy who took him down use?
I have a solution for gun control, outlaw guns for Democrats only, i will be willing to bet they would thEn want guns.
Time to reinstate the ban on murder.
LOL. Good one.
Didn’t a youngen eat a piece of bread into the shape of a gun?
You forgot that one!
Why does it say that Colt owns the trademark when Armalite is the company that created the rifle?
So it was an ar- 15? So? (Maybe he drives a sedan type car? And maybe he wears brown shoes? And like possibly he has a quadrupedal pet at home?)
“A database of 143 mass shootings compiled by Mother Jones, going back to 1984, found 20 attacks that used guns that would have been illegal under the assault weapons ban that was in place from its passage in 1994 to its expiration. The AR-15 was specifically named in that ban.”
Well then, forgive me, why doesn’t Mother Jones share us the wealth concerning what was used to commit the Oklahoma City bombing or the murders at Columbine High School or Jonesboro or what happens regularly in places like Baltimore and Chicago?
Lemmee guess. The attacks would have been legal. Just the weapon would have been illegal?
BTW, 600,000 Americans were killed with muzzleloaders during the civil war. Anyone determined to take a life will use whatever he has at his disposal. After all, abortion docs kill over a million Americans every year, and they don't even use a gun. Maybe we should outlaw abortion.
Ah, so, ah, when are we going to hear about the gun that saved people?
The thought occurred to me that someone could have put the thought of a “gun” massacre in this guy’s head . . .with promises of who knows what.
The weapon did not reach its current levels of popularity until the expiration of the nations federal assault weapons ban in 2004.
Correction called for:
The weapon did not reach its current levels of popularity until the ASCENDANCY OF BARACK OBAMA IN 2008.
Why does the IRS have full auto AR’s?
