Florida Senate(controlled by Republicans) approves 2-year moratorium on sale of AR-15 assault rifles

[Missourian]

That's what I am curious about. No one ever approved fully automatic assault weapons to be sold in this country, yet they sold a part the "bump stock" that could make a semi-automatic turn into an automatic. How did they get away with that one?

Approved by the Obama Administration.

NRA's claim that Obama approved bump stocks mostly true -- Politifact

Do folks really believe Communists/Democrats are gonna stop at banning 'Bump-Stocks' and AR's? Something more Americans better start contemplating.

Republicnas did this, they hold almost twice as many seats.

When I saw this thread title, I was struck....."huh?" For no other reason than Rick Scott would be sure to veto..so why bother..then I read the whole newsfeed..and got quite the laugh!

It was like..'lets have a meaningless voice vote'...and then...Ooops! Redo...ahhh..back in the arms of Father NRA. "We didn't mean it, really..please don't take your bags of money away...Pullleeesssee!"

But makes ya wonder..was the voice vote miscounted..or did everyone think that they could make a meaningless mark ...so that they could say to their constituencies, "See..I tried."

I bet there was plenty of opportunity for some humor..in that 15 minutes!

I was a responsible Slave Owner. Because there were a few that weren't, you passed a law that took my right to own slaves away from me. It was my Constitutional Right.

Where in the COTUS is the right to own slaves?

You missed the humor there, sour puss.

From 2014

According to crime statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), knives are consistently used to kill people far more often than rifles are used. And the numbers aren’t even close: five times as many murders were committed with knives than were committed with rifles last year.​

Time to ban knives!!!!

But but but.. it’s NOT an automatic weapon !

Except you then show how easy it is to get around that. So it IS an automatic weapon !??

Psst - It can be done with almost any rifle, even the ones that aren't black and scary looking.

Ban the bump stock!!! and rubber bands!! Ban Knives too!!!!

China knife attack leaves 29 dead

There were 8 knife weilders so we do the math on this one. That means that each knifer owned not more than 5 people. Now, had they been armed with an AK or an AR Semi Auto, the death rate would have been in the hundreds with the wounded rate in the thousands. Our Mass Shooters are just better armed than their Mass Stabbers.

thanks for pointing out the need to have good folks armed to react to these sort of situations

You will also be arming the Bad Folks at the same time. Ever thing of that? You can have a whole lot of Good Folks armed and not much will happen bed but have just one Bad Folk armed and you get another mass shooting fast.

we already have the bad folks doofus

hint they are the ones shooting folks up in the gun free zones

When they run out of those, they start in gun zones. Like Haters, Shooters gonna Shoot.

The Teachers Union in Florida owns 40,000 shares of a gun manufacturer that makes the AR-15. Shocking and unexpected. Remington may file Chapter 11, totally bankrupt. Trump told Sessions, ban the AR-15.

Boo Hoo. We could use a few less gun manufacturers.

Nice try, cupcake. What Obama did was he couldn't find anything that would bar them under the current laws. simple as that. And with the longjam that was in the congress, he knew that there was no way in hell that he could get a law in place to get them regulated like they needed to be. So, the real fault goes to the Ultra Right Wingers on this one.

Now, stand up and take your lumps like men for a change.

I have been hung out to dry more than twice and enjoyed it. When at the bottom of a deep hole, there is only one way out which is up by your own determination.

And here comes the gun nerd with his semantics .

An AR is a weapon of war designed to blow big holes in people and kill them quickly and efficiently by causing sever bodily damage . That’s it’s purpose .

Yes it’s not automatic (only because of the law forbids it). That doesn’t mean it’s no longer an assault rifle .

You can take a turbo out of a sports car, it’s still a sports car .

ALL firearms are potential weapons of war. That's what they were designed for. That's also why the Second Amendment protects them.

You do realize thst pretty much every magazine fed, semi-auto rifle in the world does the exact same thing as an AR-15, right?

Dumbass!

Ya know..you're quite the little bitch, aren't you. Never have something cogent to say...just sling some poo...yes..miscounted. Obviously..as the intent was not what was occurred. You do note I called the vote 'meaning less'? Much like your response.

Did it even occur to you to actually comment on the gist of the post---silly me..of course it didn't..that might require thought.

You stop being a dumbass, I'll stop pointing it out!

That's great since the AR-15 is not an assault rifle, they can claim they did something that had no impact whatsoever!

What do you consider an “assault rifle “?

An assault rifle has the capability to fire on full auto. An AR-15 does not. Therefore, the AR-15 is not an assault rifle.

Stop falling down that well, Timmy!

Little is know but Timmy didn't keep falling down that well. Lassie kept pushing him into the well so Lassie could look like a hero saving lil' timmy.

I suggest we start a go fund me page so we can pay off Lassie so she'll stop rescuing him.

Tell me what it’s designed for ?

The dems want to ban guns, as guns help people protect themselves against criminals and tyranny. Both which democrats are all about.
