That is one of the stupidest opinion pieces I have ever read. Note how well the automatic handgun ban and licencing of handguns in Canada has not worked.
It's time to ban assault weapons in the U.S.

Wow is he ever stupid.
WE gonna make a gun law that all the bad guys and criminals will obey. Right
Unfortunately many people still repeat this kind of rhetoric without substantiation and that's how idiots like Donald Trump get attention.
The good news is that government is actually much better than the public perception as there have been significant improvements in the quality of life or standard of living in the last few decades as a direct result of policy decisions.
In fact, it has evolved to the point where there is actually a higher likelihood of harm from certain sectors of private industry but even those gaps are being closed off by sensible legislation.

UN rights chief calls for more US gun control in wake of Orlando massacre
Zeid Ra’ad Zeid Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, implored American leaders to finally address easy access to firearms and the resulting high volume of gun violence that is now pervasive in the US.
As it stands, the US has inadequately protected its citizens, especially "vulnerable communities and minorities who are already facing widespread prejudice," from “horrifyingly commonplace but preventable violent attacks that are the direct result of insufficient gun control," Zeid said in a Tuesday statement.
“It is hard to find a rational justification that explains the ease with which people can buy firearms, including assault rifles, in spite of prior criminal backgrounds, drug use, histories of domestic violence and mental illness, or direct contact with extremists – both domestic and foreign,” he said.
Zeid added that the mass shooting at a popular gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, on June 12 by private security officer Omar Mateen must receive an answer in the US that includes assurances of safety and respect for all citizens.
It was “particularly reprehensible – indeed dangerous – that this terrible event is already being utilized to promote homophobic and Islamophobic sentiments," Zeid said.
Zeid pointed to a new UN human rights report on civilian firearm possession and use that shows the "devastating impact" of gun violence on many basic aspects of life. Women and children, the report states, are disproportionately affected by loose gun laws.
Human rights, the UN official said, should be central to the consideration of laws that guide the "availability, transfer and use of firearms." In order to respect human rights, the UN suggested that adequate gun control must include background checks, gun-license reviews, training, gun removal policies regarding instances of domestic violence, and the discouragement of illegal sales of guns.
“Examples from many countries clearly show that a legal framework to control the acquisition and use of firearms has led to a dramatic reduction in violent crime,” Zeid said. “In the United States, however, there are hundreds of millions of guns in circulation, and every year thousands of people are killed or injured by them.”

That guy should look inside his own part of the world for human rights violation!
What a dumb *** and so is flossy for quoting him..

People can't freely buy assault rifles in the U.S. and no amount of lying on your part or his will change that, mentalfloss.
Apparently Red Neck Joe needs his AK47 to fend of the US Government..
I guess he figures he can fend off the 82nd Airborne when it comes time.. (Somebody's watching to many Jason Borne movies) :lol:
AmeriKKKa!!! Don't fukk with my 2nd Amendment and vote for Drumpf.
NRA, Republicans block proposed law to stop suspected terrorists from buying guns in U.S.
Yup so the next time a terrorist shoots up a school, thank the NRA and the Republicans..
I have no official position on this, just contributing to the conversation.
What's really standing in the way of gun control
