Eight slain in Atlanta, now 10 in Boulder. Your town could be next. Can the nation finally do something about weapons of war on our streets?
President Joe Biden called Tuesday for Congress to move immediately to “ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.” It’s a start, though he’ll have to reach across party lines for real this time, since some Democrats are as anti-gun-control as the bulk of today’s GOP.
The New York Post does not see this as a conservative or liberal issue — it’s an issue of life and death. Curbing guns is what led to New York City’s three-decade reduction in murders. And, sadly, it’s the dismissal of that progress that has led to a rise in shootings here. Outside the city, the toll of semi-automatic weapons is a sad litany of cities and schools: Newtown, Parkland, Aurora, Las Vegas. It’s a national shame.
We called on President Donald Trump to act, and we’ll happily support Biden in a fight for the needed changes. Polls show most Americans want this. It’s the political establishment that is frozen.

Somebody carrying could have minimized Boulder.
The biggest weapon of war is the media.
In Boulder a Syrian refugee thanks America by turning terrorist and hunting down 10 white people in a store. And he used money America gifted him to buy the rifle.
They'll look real good on the overpasses...
The Post editorial board is comprised of effete liberal panty-waists that if you handed them a weapon would shriek and drop it to the ground as if you handed a garter snake to a 5-year-old girl.
Weapons of war, how do you define that.
The AR platform rifles resemble the M-16/M-4’s but the AR’s are not selective fire and have never been issued by any of our militaries.
If we took away every firearm that had a resemblance to military weapons they would take every firearm in the hands of civilians in our nation.
The following are military style weapons.
Every semi-automatic rifle, bolt action rifle, semi auto pistol, revolver, single shot firearm (rifle pistol and shotgun), double barrel rifle or shotgun, pump action rifle and shotgun, lever action, and even muzzle loader black powder smoke sticks on the market had their roots in and were born from military firearms.
Read that last paragraph again and know it is absolutely true. Then ask yourself a question, what firearms does the left intend to let us legally own?
The answer is they want to completely disarm us.
The only streets I see weapons of war on, are the streets of DC where hundreds of terrorists reside, each plotting new ways to destroy our country.
When the agents of government disarm, then we can talk.
“Forget it, Jake - it’s Commierado...”
SAF, NRA and others should compile a list of all the Americans murdered by illegals and ‘naturalized’ violent scum.
Send it to every congresscritter and post in every major newspaper. Keep shoving it in their faces.
This yahoo doesn’t know what the hell a “weapon of war” is.
I”m sure the gangs and cartels in America will be right on that
FONYP
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown. The company doesn’t care about doing the right thing, and they are too powerful for you to win against them.
There are NO WEAPONS OF WAR on American streets. NONE.
How many unarmed victims died in Atlanta and Boulder while waiting for the cops to show up?
I think Bush let him in during 2002. But Bush and obama are on the same team.
