Why not only hunting rifles and shotguns and personal protection handguns?

There are something like 20 million AR style rifles out there. The horse is out of the stable.

If you think maintaining a ban on bayonet lugs & flash suppressors would stop this, you are a moron.

The AR ‘s are being focused but the Left, because that’s the reachable political target…for now….

Indeed, and when pressed, Chris has no answer. On this subject he is emotional, not informed.

Be honest Chris, both sides know that AR ban is just first step & will facilitate more bans…

If you ban the worst weapons, you’ll save some kids

You probably think they loved computers, because of the 1st Amendment.

Let me also point out that the AR market exploded because of the expiration of the AWB.

That law was heavily flawed. It noted mainly cosmetic features to define assault weapons.

You are correct. Handguns are responsible for more carnage than the AR.

Dems are fine with many 9mm deaths (e.g., Chicago). Only want to go after the fewer AR .223 deaths.

If we need weapons to defend ourself from our government we have already lost.

B/c we have weapons to defend ourselves from our government, the government has also already lost.

The Ukrainians needed the weapons to defend against a foreign threat, not their own govt.
