Another one in Half Moon Bay tonight, at least 7 dead.

Not sure where our society is going but it doesn't seem positive.

Unfortunately, I've become desensitized to it all. Nothing will be done about the banning of assault rifles.

Till the next mass shooting...🏴


Assault rifles are already banned.


As I understand it only 9 states have banned assault rifles. LINK

Quote:
Yes, assault rifles are legal to own in the United States. The United States has some of the loosest gun laws in the world. Therefore, there are lots of types of weapons you can own in the United States, and an assault rifle is definitely one of them. At the same time, assault rifles have not always been legal in the United States.

In 1994, Congress passed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which made it basically illegal to manufacture or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon. For several years during the 1990s and early 2000s, this assault weapon ban was in place in the United States. The ban was allowed to expire in 2004 without being renewed, and assault rifles once again became legal in the United States. At the same time, if you are interested in owning an assault rifle, you need to take a look at the laws of your state.


My guess is that VLF is likely going the disingenuous route of quibbling between the term assault rifle versus assault-style rifles


Another semantic taffy pull is them correcting that AR stands for Armalite instead of Assault Rifle (which non-gun nuts naturally assume). Wull, if you don't know it stands for Armalite, how can you pontificate about gun issues?!1...
