When assault style weapons were banned for a decade, crimes using assault style weapons went down.
Once again, the president is acting like a dictator, attempting to bypass Congress to implement rules and regulations that the American people don’t want.
Biden will likely issue executive orders which exceed his authority to restrict Second Amendment rights.
This is a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens.
When assault style weapons were banned for a decade, crimes using assault style weapons went down.
There is no reason to have massive amounts of ammunition available to someone so they don't have to reload.
Better a slap in the face than a random bullet.
That would be incorrect...You have no actual proof of that statement.
Correlation does not imply causation.
No they didn’t. Stop repeating the BS spouted by the lying dog faced pony soldier Biden.When assault style weapons were banned for a decade, crimes using assault style weapons went down.

Did you read your source? If so, perhaps you can tell me which Federal study it was referring to?No they didn’t. Stop repeating the BS spouted by the lying dog faced pony soldier Biden.
The Federal Government’s Own Study Concluded Its Ban on 'Assault Weapons' Didn't Reduce Gun Violence
The Department of Justice funded a study to analyze the government's previous ban on "assault weapons." The DOJ noted that decline in the use of assault weapons "was offset throughout at least the late 1990s by steady or rising use of other guns.”fee.org
Not to mention that there still isn't a definition for the 'assault weapons' to be banned, or at least I haven't seen that definition.No they didn’t. Stop repeating the BS spouted by the lying dog faced pony soldier Biden.

since none of the weapons were actually "banned", how do you figure?When assault style weapons were banned for a decade, crimes using assault style weapons went down.
what is "massive amounts of ammunition"?There is no reason to have massive amounts of ammunition available to someone so they don't have to reload.

Sorry, I don’t trust anything promoted by DiFi who is on record as wanting gun confiscation in this country.That would be incorrect...
The ban did work, and a number of studies lay that out.
-University of Massachusetts researcher Louis Klarevas, author of the book “Rampage Nation,” found that the number of gun massacres dropped by 37 percent and the number of gun massacre deaths fell by 43 percent while the ban was in effect compared to the previous decade. After the ban lapsed in 2004, those numbers dramatically rose – a 183 percent increase in massacres and a 239 percent increase in massacre deaths.
-A 2019 study in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Surgery found that, based on data from 1981 to 2017, there were fewer mass-shooting deaths while the ban was in place.
-A 2017 study in the Journal of Urban Health observed that law enforcement recovery of assault weapons fell nationwide while the ban was in place, indicating that they were used in fewer crimes, but increased after the ban expired.
-A 2004 University of Pennsylvania study conducted for the Justice Department explained that the use of assault weapons in crime declined by 70 percent nine years after the Assault Weapons Ban took effect.

And correlation also does not imply that there is no causation.
Coming from the idiot Prez who doesn't know what a pistol brace does and thinks blasting a shotgun through a door willy nilly is okay.

Well here is one.Did you read your source? If so, perhaps you can tell me which Federal study it was referring to?
That can’t be said enough. The same person saying assault weapons are bad has given out advice to just shoot a shotgun out the window when you hear a noise.Coming from the idiot Prez who doesn't know what a pistol brace does and thinks blasting a shotgun through a door willy nilly is okay.
From your source (which by the way was not a part of the original source that claimed to have a federal study in it) My bold added.Well here is one.
“Ban impact on gun violence likely to be small”.
You don't have to trust her. What are you claiming is not true?Sorry, I don’t trust anything promoted by DiFi who is on record as wanting gun confiscation in this country.
“Mr and Mrs America, turn them in”.
Whose assumption is that? Nobody I know who advocates for that ban believes they are "the most used in mass shootings". Pretty much everyone knows that handguns reign in the mass shootings arena, and to no surprise. They are the cheapest, most widespread, most commonly available, and easiest to conceal - obviously.The assumption also is that "assault rifles" are the most used weapon in mass shootings, another fallacy as shown in this chart:
you should probably read through some of the threads in this sub forum. Almost to a person, anti gun posters claim that "assault weapons" specifically AR's, are the weapon of choice for mass shootings.Whose assumption is that?

The president is acting like a leader, you just don't like the direction he wants to take to address the problem of mass shootings/school children massacres.
Once again, the president is acting like a dictator, attempting to bypass Congress to implement rules and regulations that the American people don’t want.
Has he? Or is this just another bit of rabid right-wing propaganda and fear mongering?Biden will likely issue executive orders which exceed his authority to restrict Second Amendment rights.
Only to those with an unhealthy firearms fetish..This is a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens.
As usual, gun control zealots are looking in the wrong direction. Lawful gun owners aren’t the problem, so this is just more harassment.

AR's are used in less than 1% of all shootings, and less than 25% of mass shootings. Setting aside the fact that he is precluded from banning them, it would have no effect on mass shootings or shootings of any kind.The president is acting like a leader, you just don't like the direction he wants to take to address the problem of mass shootings/school children massacres.

This, my friend, is an actual slap in the face to all law-abiding Americans -
The following is a partial list of when an AR-15-style weapon was used in a mass shooting:
What steps are the Republicans in Congress taking to address these unnecessary killings of their constituents and their children? Don't answer, we know who butters their bread.
