It's time to ban assault weapons in the U.S.

True, but... Between 2009 and mid 2015 there were 133 mass shootings in the US. Only 15 of those mass shootings involved high capacity magazines and "assault" weapons. That's 11% of the total. However, those 15 incidents averaged 13.3 victims per shooting which is 155% higher than the number of victims shot where a high capacity mag and/or an "assault" weapon wasn't used.
But bans rarely make sense. After the L'Ecole Polytechnique massacre in Montreal, the lefties in govt got together and started banning all kinds of firearms, most purely based on the fact they "looked scary". The irony was, they didn't ban the Ruger Mini-14 semi-auto that was used in the L'Ecole Polytechnique massacre.
Same with other rifles. Take your standard .22 single shot rifle. Perfectly legal in Canada. But add some after market cosmetics to dress it up to look like an AR-15 or AK-47 and suddenly it's a restricted weapon. Add a folding stock and suddenly it's a prohibited weapon. Nothing has been changed except the appearance and portability. The firing rate and muzzle velocity are still the exact same as they where when then rifle was originally purchased.
Yep. Let's blame everything except the root cause. Of course we can see how well gun control works when it comes to terrorism. Just ask France and Belgium. Or Norway.
Best you write down all the info on Kenworth then, and do not forget Silverado, RAM, and such. How about all those school buses with no seatbelts.
I think Trump is about ready to ask the military to send Obama back to Kenya for treason or, . . . wait for it, some 'trumped up charge.
10/10 2nd amendment allows these wacko's to acquire mass killing weapons.
The USA need to disallow people on terror watch lists and No Fly Lists from acquiring firearms, and also if the FBI has a red flag on you.. as they did with this nut job, again, he should be nowhere near a gun.
The more people abuse freedom, the greater the case is made for taking it away.
If Americans want to handle firearms like children instead of responsible adults, then they will be treated like children and their toys will be taken away from them.

Meanwhile 52 Muslim countries have government sanctioned public execution of gay's.
Bob Reynolds @BobRey77 Weapon of war? Does Obama really not know the difference between a semi-automatic rifle and a machine gun? Or is he just stirring the pot?

...and both are designed to have mass casualties in a war setting..
Didn't realize the streets of the USA, or Moncton, NB is a war zone.
The bastion of democracy must be defended by the double plus good military whack. The west is so far behind on account of the skiming. C onbcept to complete is retarded by payoff rather than human utility, management needs a shakeup. I hope we don't get fooled again.
