    I am not the one who continues to allow guns to flow into the inner cities. Not one gun is manufactured in the "Hood", but they have better access to them than anyone trying to legally purchase one. Now with that said if we take the assault weapons off the streets it would cut down on the gun violence in the "Hood" and in our schools.

    Trump moves to ban 'bump stocks'
    Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he has directed his attorney general to propose changes that would ban so-called bump stocks, which make it easier to fire rounds more quickly.

    "Just a few moments ago I signed a memo directing the attorney general to propose regulations that ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns," Trump said at a Medal of Valor event at the White House, addressing Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
    "I expect these regulations to be finalized, Jeff, very soon," Trump said.

    That's CNN, so I suppose it's fake news :p

    hand guns are responsible for the vast majority of inner city gun crimes. go ahead, try to sell a ban on hand guns. whether you know it or not, you just proved you don't really care about gun deaths.

    The majority of school shootings are done by assault rifles, that is why folks are calling for a ban on assault rifles not hand guns. I own hand guns, rifles and shotguns.

    Yeah, check about any gun control thread and click the link to FBI data in it. Don't act like you don't already know this.

    AR-15 is not an assault rifle. In fact, the term "assault rifle" is a bs jargon attempt at a sales pitch to reduce 2nd amendment rights.

    Of course, why would laws actually work toward a measurable benefit to society? not many do.

    a ban on assault weapons would do nothing based upon statistics

    So once assault weapons are banned the the law will be changed to say anything that fires a bullet from a barrel is an assault rifle and therefore is banned.

    Very funny!

    LOL, that is hilarious. No law will ever make guns disappear. That is foolish.

    Yawn, that is a lie.
    Read the Federal law The Unbon Victims of Violence Act.

    The ignorance surrounding what an AR-15 is.. Boggles me.

    Guys it's not a unique thing.. It is any rifle.. All Rifles.. It is just a semi automatic rifle. A weapon platform that can shoot almost any type of round.. Look

    The AR platform can be adapted to dozens of different calibers, like this Rock River Arms LAR-6.8 chambered in 6.8 Remington SPC.

    THE SERIES. Part 1: Build an AR-15: The Series Introduction. ....223 Remington / 5.56x45mm. ....300 AAC Blackout / .300 Whisper. ...6.5 Grendel. ...6.8 Remington SPC. ...5.7x28mm. ...7.62x39mm. ....458 SOCOM.


    What is a weapon platform? Any gun :)

    The AR-15s platform is based on it being semi automatic. That's it.

    What makes the AR-15 so popular is the ability to modify its base platform to have different calibar barrels, stocks, scopes, I mean all kinds of stuff. Easily.

    There's many many others like it

    You can't ban it. It would be like saying ok you can only use a bolt action rifles now.

    It's all very silly.

    Violence is cultural. Getting rid of all guns won't help. Don't believe me. Here is some real UK vs US gun, murder and violence data. Not cherry picked leftist crap. Over 20 sources in this.

    That's an interesting review.

    Have you considered that Cruz was not a student at the school so why was he there? Did the Uber driver kidnap him and release him at the school where he gained entry and then the real shooter did the killings and escaped?

    People have the right to bear arms in Illinois under the State Constitution.
