Sen. Angus King Working on Gun Control for ‘Assault Rifles’
Breitbart ^ | 10/31/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 10/31/2023 11:30:38 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Angus King (I-ME) is working on “assault rifle” gun control this week after a suspect with a sniper rifle shot and killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine.

The Portland Press Herald noted that King is not ready to reveal details about his gun control bill,

The Herald indicated King’s intention is to “ban the most dangerous and lethal aspects of military-style assault rifles.” King provided a clue into what these “aspects” of certain firearms might be when he spoke to KTLA and said, “I want to do what’ll work and to me, the most clear danger are these high capacity magazines.”

A whack job could take out more with a truck, easy.

Or a chain, a lock, a can of gas, and a lighter.

Both of those methods took out far more than in Maine.

Let’s see. Maine is left but it’s right when it comes to guns. Is this guy ‘doing something’ because he can’t ignore it or threading the needle?

“military-style assault rifles” is one of the most meaningless phrases I can think of. They use the term ‘military-style’ because they know they are not real military weapons. As for ‘assault rifle’, there is not such definition. They could just as easily say ‘cool-looking 223s’ and be more accurate.

So, which is it. A “sniper rifle” or an “assault rifle”? An M-16 or a .308.

Oh they did? what did they do about it ?

Nothing,

“I think it is more important that we ban very high capacity magazines.

What’s a “very high capacity magazine,” Suze?

Leftists have killed more of their own citizens in the last century than all wars. Shouldn’t we destroy all leftists then?

As for ‘assault rifle’, there is not such definition

Actually, there is a definition for "assault rifle," and it's a firearm with select-fire capability (full vs. semi-auto). Legally it is a machine gun.

"Assault WEAPON" on the other hand is a meaningless term.

too late Angus....more and more stories coming out that the idiots family and friends were begging and warning he was gonna do a mass shooting. Not gonna disarm us because you people cant do your jobs. If anything, all the more reason to be armed, because the cops sure aint gonna help you...
