In my opinion civilians have absolutely NO need to own fully automatic, military style assault rifles with high capacity magazines.
It's not like I can walk into my local gun store and get one of those.

It's hard to have intelligent discourse with someone who is so unaware, that they dont know the difference between auto, and semi auto.

It's not like you're a civilian either.
This is what I don't understand about people on the left like the entire Democrat slate so far. They cry and cry about the constitution and how horrible Trump is for it, but he's not the one out there openly calling for a ban on firearms....,

Yep and all this hullabaloo does is spike the gun sales anyway, remember the run on ammo and guns before Barry took office?
If your first two planks in the Democratic party platform are gun bans and third-trimester abortions you just lost 75-80% of the population. Makes you wonder? what the hell are they thinking?

The public shouldn't have assault weapons. That's pretty much all there is to it. What the hell are they (gun mfrs.)thinking selling them to the public in the first place? You can't justify that nonsense. Not with any amount of asinine mental gymnastics.
The amendment is outdated and does NOT apply to the kind of weapons around today. The amendment these idiots continually try to beat everyone over the head with, was referring to muskets not bloody AR 15's. Someone needs to gently explain this to all these gun happy Muppets . Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti gun, I have a couple of semi-auto handguns, which I'm not too happy about but I do quite enjoy shooting them for practice, very theraputic. But I kind of feel even that is overkill and at best a necessary evil in today's world. I sure as hell don't need some massive crazy rapid firing machine gun like the one Ripley has in Aliens to feel safe or to outsmart some animal with a brain the size of a watch battery.
These things are not toys and we should be taking them away from the infantile and sometimes mentally unstable or retarded adults that rabidly defend the sale of them with their deranged interpretation of the 2nd amendment twitching and flailing like a dying haddock behind them.
Enough is enough. Enough was bloody enough 6 years ago. Where's the action? where the # is it eh?
6 days it took NZ to act. 6 days.
My new favorite country. I want to live there.
# the NRA and all they stand for. Antiquated Jackassery. We need to outlaw these stupid weapons now. You want one? Join the army.
I think it's time to re-open all the lunatic asylums. This 'care in the community' isn't working. The criminally insane all have jobs in Washington DC and at Fox news.

An ar-15 is a glorified hunting rifle and not even a really good one for that.
Just make it part of the Green New Deal. They almost would have to do all that anyway in order to forcibly upgrade every building in the US. If that includes private homes, then they would have to take control of your property in order to go in and make those changes wouldn't they? I can't imagine everyone would want people just going in and doing who knows what all to their homes whenever they feel like it. So your property rights would have to be suspended.
Adding in a gun ban and search and confiscation would seem to be a natural extension of all that.

These that are out now couldn't be to smooth the path for an actual centrist dem candidate to declare later?
They would make that person look sane by comparison?
