Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he is now open to some sort of assault weapon ban following the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX.
Anchor Dana Bash said, “Congressman, you do still oppose a ban on the kind of assault weapons that were used in this shooting. Can you explain why private citizens need weapons of war?”

It’s Illinois. Knock yerselves out.
That said, I don't know anything about guns so don't understand the nature of an AK-15. I tried searching online for info and it's all written by leftists who say it was developed for the Nazis, used by Russians in war, blah blah.
What is the deal with Ak-15s? Are they used for hunting? Why are they referred to as "assault weapons"?
try searching for AR-15 instead ... plenty of info out there ...
Haha, yeah, I told you I didn’t know anything about guns! I actually did search for AR-15s. That’s where I saw all the info about them being developed for use in WW2, etc.
The headline should have read, “ I the irrelevant, retiring, crybaby RINO, am ready for a ban on assault rifles now!” Adam wouldn’t be able to identify a real assault rifle if his life depended on it. Hint, it has the ability to fire full auto.
He’s not open to ANYTHING, HES a LOSER.
Because they look very similar to standard issue select fire (semi automatic/three round burst/full automatic may be chosen) military weapons. They lack the burst and full auto features. One trigger pull, one shot.
I find it funny when the Libs use the words “Assault Weapon” and “weapons of war”
Really What about all the big badguns left in Afghanistan, and all the military hardware and bigboy weapons left over there that could kill alot more that 20 people like in Texas. Opps were not supposed to say anything about that.
Any firearm becomes a weapon of war…when you are at war.
Look at the Russian soldiers using 100 year old bolt action rifles.
yep right on
We will never know how many innocent people are killed by all those guns left in Afghanistan
I thought we had one during the Clinton regime that proved to be a failure?
They could ALL kill each other. I don’t care.
I wonder if them guns they got in that failure of a withdrawal in Afghanistan come back and kill innocent Americans shouldnt we blame Biden
You seem fixated on guns left in Afghanistan. They could all shoot each other into extinction. I doubt very many people would care.
Well this reminds me of fast and furious times a thousand and fast and furious on steroids
