It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.

Yeah, the GOP tends to side w/ the NRA, but even progressives vote 2 fund wars when that money could be used in our communities 2 restore mental health, financial health (for civilians), physical health, environmental health - which would alleviate the despair that leads to death

Except our means of banning assault weapons is to enforce bans with militaries that use them.

Imagine being a parent of a child who was completely unrecognizable after being murdered in school and the governor saying it could have been worse. Smdh

Oh good idea! Then only police officers and the military will be able to have AR 15s and other types of semi automatic rifles. Because everybody trusts the POLICE! Ya fuck off.

Omg Marianne. You’re like a dog with a bone on this. Political considerations are going to outweigh any public safety concerns anyhow

We need a license to drive a car ... We need to Register to Vote ... I need a license to practice Architecture ... Why can't guns be regulated as well?

Criminals and people with evil intent will always find a way to get a gun. Banning guns will only be liscence for criminals to set up illegal gun ownership enterprises. Even illegal gun sharing programs between criminals.
