Every few days or so, another Democrat takes their turn boldly declaring a ban on ‘assault weapons,’ whatever those are. Every time, the American people remind them the Constitution says, ‘nuh-uh Senator.’
Today is no different.
Imagine all the shootings we could prevent and lives we could save if we reinstated a nationwide assault weapons ban.

Just think how great you could make America if you could just get rid of that pesky constitution. https://t.co/qqrRkVwrTR

Solutions? Nobody asked for solutions!
Not many. Just like last time. IMAGINE all the murders we could prevent if we got gangs off the streets; stopped the illegal drug trade; re-opened mental institutions and actually used them.

A fair request, since your imagination is the only place that works.

Go after bad guys with guns, not law abiding citizens.

last I checked murder was illegal in all 50 states.

Where exactly do they think these ‘assault weapons’ are going to run off to once banned? Who will be collecting them all?
How would that work?

Define assault weapon

Civil rights trump that idea.

Any weapon can be considered an assault weapon
— Brian Talley (@brianstalley) October 6, 2023
As for that hypothetical fantasy of yours, Senator.
Yeah, I can imagine it. It would be zero. Zero criminals will care about a law telling them what kind of weapon they can have.
Why don't you show you can stop drugstore looters before taking a bite at a weapons ban.
— LincolnHillsFrau (@bayareahausfrau) October 6, 2023
That number is precisely zero.
Now imagine all the shootings we could prevent and lives we could save if we encouraged everyone to train with and bear effective arms.

Even more would be saved if criminals were kept in jail.

She just wants to save lives! Isn’t that enough?
Do you have any data? Or is it only hyperbole you’re offering?

They just keep repeating the same meaningless slogans over and over and their base cheers them on. But in the real world, the practical one where people have rights regarding these issues, it is absolute nonsense. Totalitarian nonsense.
Maybe try again on your next turn, Senator.
You can always tell that the idiots calling for a ban on assault weapons have no idea what an assault weapon is. True assault weapons are used by law enforcement and the military. What these people call assault weapons are semi automatic rifles and pistols which come from the factory to only fire one shell at a time with the squeeze of the trigger every time. These so called liberals continue to lie about what assault weapons are. The second amendment shall not be infringed upon which liberals are continuing to do with unconstitutional bills and executive orders. They want to disarm the American people so they can’t rise up against a tyrannical government or defend themselves from an invasion.
