Semi-auto rifles have been around since 1903. YES, 1903. Yet they only began to be used in mass killings after the mental hospitals were closed down in the 1970s when the patients were dumped on the streets.
And what the news media and TV shows made popular at the times is what criminals thought they had to use for their crimes. Remember the “evil” SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIALS! then the 5 shot bolt action Army Surplus Rifles!(they got a ban on them) then “COP KILLER BULLETS!” then UZIs and AK-47s! Then the AR-15!

The political plan is to try and make some type of gun ban “stick” then use that ban to build on to go after their real target of the 1960s, HANDGUNS!

Remember the attempted gun bans of the past...

Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.

1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).

1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!

In 1976, the founder of handgun Control Inc told in a New Yorker interview his goal was to make ownership of handguns “TOTALLY ILLEGAL”.

1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!

1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

1984, They came for the rifles.

Once they thought they had a “ban” on semi-auto rifles” they immediately started after the single shot .50 Cal rifles.

Gun owners know they are always up against a stacked deck.
