Re: Of all places
There seems to be a massive disconnect happening, though it is probably deliberate.
Military style automatic weapons are NOT available almost anywhere without strict licensing; and they are rarely used for massacres. This latest for example was carried out with a "normal" handgun. The recent Florida school incident was pistols and non-military style long guns.
Assault weapon is bullshit speak. If you mean a military looking weapon, the difference is irrelevant if it is not automatic. That is simply wedge politics.
So say what you mean, banning guns means banning hand guns, and be quite clear, what you mean is that you want to make it illegal to have a gun - so only illegals will have them.
