Assault weapons

Your "current mentally ill, social media damaged, or whatever" is not what this is about. What it's about is the availability, to just about anybody, of legal semi-automatic war weapons that will empty a 30 round magazine into a classroom full of six year olds in less than nine seconds. Less than six seconds with a bump stock. Less than four seconds with a converted formerly legal AR-15...and it can be done.

As far as bull shit the people killed with assault type weapons is a tiny fraction.
Just something to stir up people and divert attention from dozens of murders every week in most all major cities.

It is curious that the left concentrates on the weapon and almost never the criminal. As if it is the weapons fault.

Ya think? Here a Republican Governor is jumping at the chance to pardon a convicted murderer/vigilante and outspoken racist.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is facing calls to reverse his pledge to pardon Daniel Perry, who was convicted of murder after shooting an armed Black Lives Matter protester dead in July 2020, following the emergence of his racist social media posts.

Unsealed court documents revealed Perry, 33, had compared BLM to "a zoo full of monkeys," called the movement "racist against white people," and wrote it is "to (sic) bad we can't get paid for hunting Muslims in Europe."

After the jury delivered its ruling, Abbott said he would pardon Perry "as swiftly as Texas law allows."

Did you see the whatever you want to call it in Chicago this weekend.
How many white faces did you see out of the hundreds destroying property of others ? Two or three ? You people are so terrified of being called racist that it will be the end of any quality of life in inner cities in the U.S.

You should watch the black woman who lost her son in the house hearings today. Then you can babble your white apologist BS till the end of time.

So, you did not watch the black woman lament the cold blooded murder of her son under Alvin Bragg policy.

This has exactly what to do with the subject of this thread, "Assault Weapons"?

It's difficult to absolve an object, even if inanimate, when it is doing precisely what it was designed to do (kill people).

Yeah, it's the f*cking weapon's fault.

I think if you looked you could find the percentage of all murders that are committed with "assault weapons". Not many. Now you will say one life is too many. Certainly true.
My point is the fixation on them when the vast majority of senseless murders are in inner cities and certainly not with "assault weapons".
The victims are just the wrong color to make the news.
