Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson stipulated Tuesday that responsible homeland security entails passing meaningful gun control reforms.
“I believe that meaningful, responsible gun control is part of homeland security and it’s something we have to address,” Johnson said in an interview with CBS “This Morning,” following Sunday’s shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub that left 50 people dead, including the shooter, and 43 others injured.
Democrats are renewing calls to bar people on the terrorism watch list from purchasing weapons of war, such as the AR-15 used in the massacre. The Orlando gunman had also once been on a terrorist watch list.
Well, the snowball's off the hill and here it comes:
Jeh Johnson: Gun Violence Has Become A Matter Of Homeland Security
“I believe that meaningful, responsible gun control is part of homeland security.”
The assault weapons ban is getting closer and closer, and it really is a shame that the do nothing congress is ushering it in.
Another point made in the news, is the poor guy that owned the supplying gun store has had to come out in public and apologize that his store got picked. I think that responsible gun store owners are going to be on the vanguard of new gun controls. They're going to have to be.
they have no power to change laws and assault weapons are already banned in the US for anything after 1986.
I own a few ar-15s and if there ever were a day I would consider parting with them, today damn sure isn't it.
Anyone in charge of the department of homeland security can kiss my ass.

Idiot bureaucrats attempting to expand their empires.
Sorry most can't speak English .:lamo
I have three things to say:
1. Homeland Security (our probable precursor to an American Gestapo) is a political farce, and it's current head can kiss my ass.
2. American's need access to the same level of weaponry any basic firearm the common infantry soldier is normally assigned. That meets both the spirit and the letter of the Second Amendment.
3. I doubt gun shop owners are going to cut back on any weapon still legally allowed for sale and will probably fly off the shelves after this kind of gun control public statement. They sell guns for the profit, or didn't you realize this?
Well, congress does have power to change laws - and so do people, and assault weapons are not banned. But they will be. The tide is certainly turning. The NRA, bless their hearts are doing everything they can to shoot holes in their own / your boat; they've come out publicly and blamed Obama.
Well, take your Homeland Security complaint to your compadre GW Bush, he started it and everybody on the right thought it was a great idea. So, now it isn't? Homeland Security is doing its job and now they're no good?
American has no need to access military weaponry until there's a call for arms. Then there'll be plenty. There have been people who had access to what "basic firearm the common infantry soldier is normally assigned", and look what's happened. So that argument goes out the window. Such access "to basic firearm the common infantry soldier is normally assigned" has caused a homeland security problem...
We have to change that. Such access to "basic firearm the common infantry soldier is normally assigned" is now a weapon of terrorism"...
You can doubt what gun shop owners are going to do about this all you want: but they have to stay in business, and if they have to dislodge a few items form their inventory to stay in business and be "patriotic", what do think they're gonna do?

so your argument about HLS is bunk since they have no control over laws.
Any assault weapon that was manufactured after May 1986 is illegal to own in the US.
3.The machine gun you wish to acquire must have been manufactured on or before May 19, 1986.
it also requires special licensing a fully FBI back ground check and you must live in a state that allows it.
An assault rifle is a weapon that has a selector on it that allows the gun to fire either single, burst or full auto.
It is sometimes conflated with the term "assault rifle", which refers to selective-fire military rifles that can fire in automatic and / or burst mode. definition ATF.
the AR15 is no different than any other semi-automatic rifle on the market. also it will do nothing to stop shootings.
criminals or people intent on doing this kind of thing do not care what you attempt to ban or take away.
you lack of addressing this argument pretty much says that truth of the matter.
how will banning a gun (that is will still be out there) stop a criminal intent on doing this. please answer the question with something reasonable.
Idiot bureaucrats are here by demand. GW Bush started Homeland Security, and homeland security is their job, so the radical second amendment crowd has been working against your interests from the outset. These ARs and AK etc are now national issue that we have to deal with, and the experts and law makers are going to deal with it because folks in your corner won't.
You get what you pay for in this world.

they cannot change laws that is the job of congress. they have no authority over who owns what gun.Homeland security has control over homeland security policy, and the government goes along with that policy. That's why we have Homeland Security, remember?
which is not an assault rifle.The ARs that are being sold, like the thing that the shooter just got, are newly minted. The assault weapons ban was allowed to sunset under GW Bush.
Well when you don't know what you are talking about then someone has to educate you or at least try.Don't try and lecture me on assault weapons: that's a non sequitur.
The AR is a military design weapon: it is made to mow down large numbers of people in a few seconds or minutes: that's why it was chosen be the shooter, in Orlando, Michigan, San Bernadino, AuroraI , Sandy Hook, that's why those guys in France chose the European versions as well.
I AM addressing that argument. THAT'S what the thread is about. You can't get around it, so you have a big problem with it.
sure we did. Did the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban Work?They were banned before and we didn't have 50 or 100 people getting killed in a wack. So that's what's going to happen again.
Bombs are another problem, but we have to deal with them one at a time.
Ok, I can work with that.
Cualquier persona a cargo del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional puede besarme el culo.
Yes, Bush started the Patriot Act and Homeland Security but there is no evidence he ever used either for any purpose but to fight Terrorist. Obama renewed and expanded to power of the Patriot Act. He and the Clintons have long histories of using Govt power including the Patriot Act against their political opponents.
Congress doesn't have the power to change the Constitution without 2/3rds of the states legislatures agreeing with them.
