Did Obama ban assault riffles? Can we talk about the other causes of violence/massacres now? [View all]

The gun issue has been dealt with no?

Now we can talk about what drugs the shooters are taking when they commit these massacres?

Can we talk about the drug war now, the leading cause of gun murders?

No one is saying it's not the guns, but executive orders have been made now.

and the criminals who break the law.... will still break the gun laws as well.

We need to do more than just remove guns from law abiding citizens.
