If I'm not mistaken it's the most widely purchased firearm model in the country.You can buy a semi-auto version of a AK rifle as long as it isn't restricted in the state you reside in. However the AR-15 is a very popular semi-auto rifle in the US.
You would be correct. It's a simple, reliable template, easily manufactured, easily modified, and has enough 'tactikool' big dick energy to snag 18-30 year olds in droves.If I'm not mistaken it's the most widely purchased firearm model in the country.
Why can't the US government classify the AR-15 in the same group of guns that the AK-47 is classified in, so it is no longer sold.
WTF is this press conference?
Looks like a joke with failed republican leadership trying to cover their ass.
Abbott? Ted Cruz?
Are u fucking kidding me?
These fuckers know their failures and dying loyalty to the NRA. Im betting the NRA put them up to this stunt to cover their ass. SICKENING.
Accusing others of trying to "politicize" the senseless violence lol.

Reporter asked about tougher gun laws. Abbott both sided it and does gun laws stop shootings in Chicago, NY or California?I didn't catch it, did they blame it on Joe Biden yet?
Claiming games like GTA is the main reason for these shootings is like ignoring a police officer asking for you to pull over, to only just tell you that you left your blinkers on.I'm sure this has been the plan. Since Biden mentioned Gun Control a few weeks ago (or was it a week ago) it seems we've had several shootings all involving 18 year olds. I'd hate to think there is a conspiracy going on, but it should make you wonder...
Unfortunately, people will still kill others when a society has been as fucked up as ours has been. More background checks? When will this solve anything? We've already been doing that, and guess what. We have just as many deaths today as before. Someone will buy a gun for another, wipe the serial number, and give it out as a gift... (See the hood for an example) Or there will just be more robberies/burglaries to obtain them illegally. You know, since criminals don't really abide by the law... Putting in more laws isn't necessarily going to fix the problem.
Give people a reason not to kill others (and themselves) might be a better direction. All I see is a culture of death. Every single "rap" song is about "putting a cap in their ass", and every TV show has someone being killed by some psychotic method... Let's not talk about movies. What was the last movie you seen that didn't include someone dying?
But who knows... I'm not a democratic "expert" on this matter. I'm guess those experts would just say "Be gay, because its white straight males who do this."

I think the idea is that you could just regulate all semiautomatic rifles like you do fully automatic rifles. If the Constitution allows you to regulate sawed off shotguns as if they are fully automatic it not too much of a stretch to extend that to semiautomatic rifles.I'm sure someone much more knowledgeable than me will point out that the two guns are not functionally the same, not in any way that can be objectively defined in a law (even _I_ could tell that the "assault weapons" category was a bit strange, being defined mainly in terms of aesthetic criteria).
It shuldn't matter, as they both have the word auto in it. All autos and semi-autos should be banned from the general public.You can buy a semi-auto version of a AK rifle as long as it isn't restricted in the state you reside in. However the AR-15 is a very popular semi-auto rifle in the US.
This is the antivaxers type position. Why do they thing that will actually do the most good for the last cost, when we can do something that is much more expensive for much worse results. Not like a metal detector actually blocks the entrance, the guard would just be shot.
I live n New York, and without even searching on the internet, I have a hunch that even AR's are probably banned in my state.You can buy a semi-auto version of a AK rifle as long as it isn't restricted in the state you reside in. However the AR-15 is a very popular semi-auto rifle in the US.
Yes and no. The NY SAFE law banned the AR-15 due to certain features (I remember one part having to do with the stock), so gun manufacturers then created a SAFE-compliant AR-15. It looked goofy as hell compared to a "standard" AR-15, but it satisfied the legal requirements as to still be able to be sold in NY State. No idea what the current state of affairs is though.I live n New York, and without even searching on the internet, I have a hunch that even AR's are probably banned in my state.
That's because NY is a cesspool of freedom hating socialists!!I live n New York, and without even searching on the internet, I have a hunch that even AR's are probably banned in my state.
Thanks for sharing your views Trump cheerleader.That's because NY is a cesspool of freedom hating socialists!!
He said in thhe conference that he asked te community affected as to what they are lacking, and he claimed they said mental health support for mental health issues.From the press conference, shooter had no criminal record and no known mental health issues. I keep hearing Abbot blame it on mental health though.
The classic "well to murder a bunch of kids you have to have mental illness!"From the press conference, shooter had no criminal record and no known mental health issues. I keep hearing Abbot blame it on mental health though.
I should have put the "/s" I guessThanks for sharing your views Trump cheerleader.
