Fully automatic guns are illegal, but the ban on semi-automatics (of the kind used in the Orlando shootings) and related ammunition expired in 2004. That restriction should be revived; nobody needs what many call an assault rifle to hunt game or shoot clay pigeons. At the least, the size of the magazines should be limited, which could lessen the carnage of mass shootings.

You can kill just as many people with an 8mm pistol.
The shooter in Vegas didn’t use a semi automatic.
Don’t listen to propaganda.
This will be final straw for me.
and our country will never be the same. I am a single issue voter.
If ANY item from Clinton’s ban is repeated, I will no longer be a productive member of American society.
Garbagacious premise.
The Nixon move to recognize China was a great event.
China is an can not be ignored. By dealing with China, Nixon flanked Russian ambitions in Vietnam and effectively ended the vietnam war. Russia was out.
A more apt analogy than “Nixon to China” would be Bush 41 breaking his “no new taxes” pledge.
The media won’t broadcast someone streaking the field during an athletic event, as they don’t want to reward the perpetrator or inspire copycats. Yet, after every mass shooting, they run story after story after story on the perpetrator, those who knew him, the victims, etc.
Since they know that publicizing criminal behavior creates copycats, they must want copycats. Their motivation would be their desire to impose gun confiscation.
Liz, it has nothing to do with hunting or skeet shooting. The 2nd ammendment is to let the government know that The People are in charge and officials derive their power from our consent. Without suitable weapons, the consent part goes away.
I’m disappointed in Liz, especially in her “hunting and clay pigeons” nonsense. Shows she never believed in 2A.
I’m confident President Trump knows better than to embrace the Gun Grabber agenda. That one action would cause me to sit out the next election and several million more would as well.
I take this article as so much wishful thinking by Leftist Gun Grabbers.
Guns in rational hands are not the problem. The problem has always been the crazy behind the gun and the politicians who seek advantage wallowing in blood. The real problem is that over the past fifty years the insane have been released from involuntary confinement, police do not act as proactive cops and the technology of firearms has advanced. The crazy in Dayton was shot in less than 45 seconds but he still managed in less than a minute to kill nine and wound eleven more. Sorry but when a crazy puts society on notice in various ways that they are a danger, they forfeit their civil rights.
But don’t expect any meaningful action. The Democrats are using the crazies as props. The scenes of tents and street filled feces in San Francisco, LA and Austin fit their sick political narrative. “Look! Capitalism does not work. People are marginalized. Give us more of your money in taxes and real power. We will create a “fair” society. Then you won’t have to see this or worry about getting mugged.”
Blood and misery has always been the hard currency of the Left. The Democratic Party will always love abortion and pimp poverty, mental illness and misery.

I DONT REMEMBER hunting being a big part of the 2nd Amendment.
I’m quite sure it was not mentioned AT ALL
The shooter in Vegas didn’t use a semi automatic.
??
No, Liz, they aren't. And if the very first sentence of the luke-warm bile that you call journalism is factually incorrect, why should I read further?
“If President Trump embraces a gun and magazine ban the Republicans WILL BE WIPED OUT in November and for years to come.”
He’s already pledged to support that by way of a federal law that would push red flag laws into the states that don’t already have them. There’s no “due process.” Accusations alone cause such orders to be issued.
Five Things President Trump Has Proposed to Stop Mass Shootings

Say, “No red flag!” The next rally might be an opportunity to be heard chanting while walking back out in an orderly manner.
We need them to defend against tyranny. That’s what 2A is for primarily.
Well done in comment #3. Great job! The graphic would be even better with an ecstasy pill in it (rape drug choice of anime fags and the like).
It’s more of a Bush “read my lips moment”. Reinstate the assault rifle ban, and no way in hell ill vote for him.
Absolutely, one hundred percent right. Our IRS was abusing power, still are. The FBI.... heck, even NOAA received fully automatic weapons, unde Obama.
These shooters are nothing more than leftist suicide bombers. I bet their family gets a nice government job or leftists cash.
The Palestinians taught the left well. As usual, we were too busy working and taking care of our loved ones to find a solution.
If the clearly abusive government has misled silos, we should as well.
Our Republic will breathe it’s last breath the day Trump inks this Democrat fantasy.
That’s why he used the bump stock to supposedly get so many shots off so quickly.
And why Trump called for that ban.
