Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) says the federal assault weapons ban that lapsed in 2004 would have prevented the Las Vegas attack, had that ban still been in force today.
This claim shows a deep misunderstanding of the assault weapons ban, which did not ban the possession or purchase of assault weapons. Rather, it limited importation and mandated types that could be manufactured in the U.S., thus driving up prices. For a man of means like Stephen Paddock, paying the higher price for an assault weapon would have been no problem.

Who would want Steve Paddocks heart? Hitler’s brain?
Just Damn! LOL
There ya go.
The Vegas a-hole went to a lot of trouble with guns. A better approach would have been a truck (preferably loaded with a bomb) or an aircraft. These two, which are proven terror tactics, would have slaughtered thousands. This bloviating about guns, guns, guns is all pathetic grandstanding. They don’t give a sh*t about victims but savor these gun incidents because it energizes their idiot minds.
You said, “For totalitarians to gain control of the people they must do two things first: (1) Take over the media; and (2)disarm...in the U.S. they are close to realizing the first element...”
The word media is latin for “things in the middle” and in this context must include every way of getting information about what is going on, in time to do something about it. The term “new media” describes all the ways we use the internet to do this. But I do not agree that they have taken control over enough of the total “media” to do for them what they want and need. If they cannot prevent the election of Judge Roy Moore to the Senate...!!!

I think Connecticut will be turning red. People there are getting upset with Governor Malloy. Watch Connecticut in 2018 and 2020...
If outlawing a type of gun will work WHY NOT TAKE IT ONE STEP FURTHER AND OUTLAW MASS MURDER...
That is the first time I’ve heard of fidiots. Love it. Gonna put that in my vocabulary along side of fugly. Fugly fidiots. That will work.
Hi. My name is Chris Murphy and I’m dumber than a box of rocks.

I made it a point to buy a pretty well used up aluminum mag labeled "Law Enforcement Only" at a gun show for $10 just so have that little constant reminder of fascist stupidity at its finest in my hands. I'm always amused when I see that label, since it's no longer enforceable. FUBC and your AWB. Hillbilly Moron
Laws against murder work great.
I didn’t say they have taken over enough of the media to take control, but they are well on their way. But there will always be “alternative” sources of information, just as there were underground publications in the USSR and Nazi Germany.
