(9,426 posts)How about getting the vicious racists off the air at you Faux network? The so-called reporters at Faux have contributed greatly to the hatred in this country. Hannity and others should have been off the air years ago, long before it got to this critical stage. They are the source of a lot of tRump's messages.

Eliminating high capacity clips/magazines would also limit the amount of carnage. Gives more people a chance to get away while the shooter changes magazines which ideally contains but 3 rounds.
If a hunter can't bag his game with three shots he needs to get his meat at the supermarket and the animal deserves to get away. It's only sporting old boy.

Semi automatic means that you do not have to manually load the weapon before you can fire.

We should be satisfied with this trinket.
This nation needs to ratify, revise, or repeal the 2nd Amendment...nothing short of that is an answer for this sick nation. Ban all assault weapons...ALL assault weapons. Have a brief buy back period, and after that, they are illegal and subject to prosecution. What's "an assault weapon"?...anything that pumps out more than 10 rounds a minute. Any large capacity clips. Enough is enough. The 2nd Amendment is out dated and ridiculous in today's world of military weapons. We can continue to stick our head in the sand and be afraid to step outside the front door...or we can finally wake the hell up and address the elephant in the room. Fuck the NRA, and fuck all the politicians with no balls to address this. Vote the bastards out.

They will furnish definitions of 'assault rifle' that are so arcane, abstruse, and elliptical that they may not even really exist.
