For the second year in a row the supreme court refused to reverse a ban on assault weapons and high capacity clips.
Banning weapons works.
When was the last time anyone used a Thompson machine gun or had one? They were banned in the 1930s.
When as the last time anyone used a fully automatic weapon? They were banned in the 80s, ronald reagan signed the ban.
Now if we can get all those weapons banned nation wide we will see the mass murders decrease and eventually stop.
Roberts' S.Ct. upholds 2 states assault rifle ban in News Forum
Thank God for the 1994 Assault Weapon Ban and how it prevented the Mass Shootings at Columbine and Jonesboro, oh wait it did not prevent those mass shootings!
Also you can buy a full automatic weapon and that is another misconception from the left as usual!
What happened was that the semi automatic replaced the fully automatic weapons.
People like me said back then that it wouldn't do anything to stop the carnage. We were right.
My point is that if we ban the semi automatic or assault weapons and there's nothing that does the same thing to replace it, we won't have such horrendous massacres we've had.
Banning certain weapons does work.
No one has a Thompson machine gun anymore. It was banned in the 1930.
Fully automatic weapons were banned in the 1980s, republican ronald reagan signed the legislation into law.
Keep in mind that it went into effect in May 1986. Which means that the republican controlled senate at the time, wrote a bill, voted on it and passed it. So republicans at one time did put the safety of Americans before money.
I find it interesting that no matter what you gun nuts say, it's constitutional to ban a type of weapon and that the supreme court upholds those bans.
I guess all the claims of destroying the second amendment
and taking away rights is just exactly what I've known it to be all my life.
Nothing but a bunch of garbage.
Europe banned fully automatic rifles...and they are the weapon of choice of european criminals and terrorists........you have no idea what you are talking about.
I'm sure automatic weapons are the choice of all interested in killing hominids.
