CBS: 15 to 20 {million} military-style assault rifles
Just heard on the CBS Sunday Evening news that there are
15 to 20 million military-style assault rifles in the hands of 'ordinary' Americans.

I fear there is no putting the genie back in the bottle.

The British said that in 1770...

9. Start with a ban on new ones, buy back program

for those already out there. That will not solve the problem, but it’s a start. Require registration and licensing. Some will be non-compliant, but again, it’s a start. Make ammunition traceable and regulate sales. We cannot just throw up our hands and say nothing can be done.

We have to start somewhere.....now.

How are you going to make ammo traceable?

5. Or even better, outlaw the sale of the ammunition.

Then, they are just hunks of metal.

24. Many of them buy the materials to make their own.

They stockpile hundreds of thousands of rounds.

I know whereof I speak.

25. People like that need to be thoroughly investigated and their weapons taken away.

There is something seriously wrong with that kind of mindset.

11. Did millions of bottles of booze prevent Prohibition?

Nope.

Ban them.

Ban the ammo.

Make it a felony to own them and prohibit the stupid gunners found guilty from owning ANY firearm again.

Yup

13. So it would cost 20 billion to buy them

all back at 1000 each. Three month grace period for the buy back. After that they are illegal, have zero fair market value, and possession would be a felony.

Doesn’t seem like an insurmountable problem to me.

28. The hell with them. They "invested" in dang things, they can absorb the loss for a bad investment.

Over em $250 and a 5 year jail sentence if they ever try to transfer the banned weapons if they don't take the deal. Ban ammo, most of these gun-humpers are too lazy to load their own.

The stupid, it burns!!!

Ralphie knows next to nothing about guns but at least I don't post the most idiotic things regarding them.  My knowledge is equivalent to the NRA President compared to these dunderheads.

Many DUmmies and leftists should be thoroughly investigated.

Question. Do RFID chips slip off of the Teflon x-ray evading, high velocity, extra lethal, Mercury filled expanding cop killer bullets?  ::)

CBS lied. Military assault rifles can be switched to automatic fire. Rifles sold to civilians are not; "military-style" means cosmetic features that look scary to gun haters but otherwise have no significant effect.

IRL, spent bullets usually get smashed up or splintered. This post is ignorant Make-it-so with no reference to real life.

Violates the 2nd Amendment by making owning and bearing arms meaningless.

Make! It! So!!!

Easy! Just repeal the 2nd Amendment. Libs and Progs have been trying that or trying to bypass it for 50 years, but like Socialism, it just wasn't done right.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

This is the end play of the "red flag" laws.

Nobody but a crazy person would own a gun.  Ergo all gun owners are crazy and we must take away their guns. 

BTW DUmbasses more people are killed by hammers than black rifles every single year. So stick a thumb up your asses and jerk off you stupid SOBs.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

  • Leave that thing alone.
Come and get them yourselves DUmmies...let's see if you carry the courage of your convictions.  I'm guessing they fail to see the irony of using men with guns to take guns from others....which is an  act of war.

"11. Did millions of bottles of booze prevent Prohibition?"
Oh, yeah, and we all remember what a great success Prohibition turned out to be!
What with the advent of bootlegging and consequent birth of the American Mafia and all.
