    According to the article it’s the same AWB from the Clinton years.

    They can fuck right off. It’s not what we need. We need to ban external magazines. This cosmetic shit is bullshit and just posturing to make gun owners suffer.

    We need to withhold all federal funding from states that do not send information to the NICS system and we need universal background checks.

    Banning external magazines works because every rifle can be retrofitted by welding a magazine in place and loading with stripper clips.

    Edit - ITT people who think they have a right to carry guns everywhere but are too afraid to write a reply.

      We could just ban all guns, unless you’re part of a well organized militia. No need to worry about cosmetics or any real particulars that way.

        No, you couldn’t. Familiarize yourself with 10 U.S. Code § 246 which actually defines exactly what the militia (both organized militia and unorganized militia) are:

        https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/246

        I don’t have demographic data to reference, but I imagine the United States has a LOT of male citizens between the ages of 17 and 45.

          I don’t actually care. Guns are dumb. I’m just being obtuse for the sake of shitting in gun ownership.

        State militia. Those were the well regulated militias being referenced. Johnny’s anti government friends club does not count.

      This cosmetic shit is bullshit and just posturing to make gun owners suffer.

      “Suffer” in what way? Having to find a new hobby? Having to use a different boom toy instead of the cool boom toy they want to use? Those poor, poor gun owners!

      Compared to the actual suffering of the dying kids and their parents, who do you think has it worse?

        No one- and I mean no one- has it harder than someone who has 12 rifles that look like they were designed for military use but can’t buy a 13th because of some stupid law that is designed to cause them literal physical pain.

        Those dead kids wish they had it so bad.

      external magazines - you have no clue what you’re talking about.

      universal background checks.

      Again you have no idea what you’re talking about. My heart aches for people like you full of opinions on a topic, yet completely lacking in basics of said topic.

        No expertise at all. Just a decade in the military doing grunt jobs. Nothing happens until we materially affect the speed with which semi auto weapons can fire, and their spread in the country. Revolvers and bolt action weapons are perfectly fine, even as militia weapons.

              What I KNOW is serving doesn’t make you an expert marksman. Most barely pass basic quals, so don’t spout that like some sort of badge of honor.
