(80,708 posts)You've managed to hit just about every NRA talking point in your post, congratualtions.
But guess what. We throw cancer grannies in prison for having a bag of pot. Don't tell me we "can't do anything" - we can't even try to do anything- about fucking assault weapons.
If the terminology of the old AWB - which didn't "fail", it lapsed under a Republican President- wasn't effective or accurate, fine. Write better terminology. Write terminology which prohibits clips containing 30 rounds. Write terminology that prohibits the rate of fire which Adam Lanza used to blast children in Newtown.
This "oh, well, nothing can be done about assault weapons"- and that's what they ARE- it's a bogus bullshit tactic. Same kind of crap the oil companies use on Global Warming. "Oh, well, can't do anything, don't bother to try"
