Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #assaultweapons, aggregated by home.social.

  1. The tragic #TumblerRidge #SchoolShooting in #Canada reminds me of both the #WaffleHouse shooting and the #ChristmasBombing in #Nashville.

    In those cases, like in Tumbler Ridge, the perpetrator had a history of #MentalIness and local or federal #police knew of their possession of #AssaultWeapons and/or explosives.

    In Tumbler Ridge and the Waffle House cases, police confiscated *and then returned the guns* that would later be used to murder multiple people.

    UNENFORCED #GunLaws are POINTLESS!

  2. The #law’s ban on what critics call #AssaultWeapons ban did not violate the #SecondAmendment because rapid-firing long guns “are #military-style weapons designed for sustained #combat operations that are ill-suited & disproportionate to the need for self-defense,” wrote Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

  3. If you’re one of the millions of #SwingVoters in the #2024election that does *not* own a private plane, and would get fired for taking a leave of absence when #DonaldTrump gives the signal for “one rough hour” of #ExtremeViolence (in a country saturated with #AssaultWeapons ), then you might want to #VoteBlueNoMatterWho. nationalmemo.com/donald-trump-

    Two #AssassinationAttempt's in 9 weeks, both "armed with an #AK47-style #AssaultRifle", and STILL #Republicans... including T**** himself... are more concerned about protecting the #guns than the people.

    Fortunately this time, the gunman never got off a single shot, but how many attempts does it take before they start to question such easy access to #AssaultWeapons?

  5. Every day that the Department of #Justice delays charging the parents of #ColtGray for providing access to #AssaultWeapons to their mentally unstable son #ColtGray increases the probability of a #MassShooting in another school. bbc.com/news/articles/c049yw35

  6. @jcrabapple The most obvious things that will be of concern to leftist #Dems are that #Walz is a #GunOwner, a #Hunter & once received an "A" rating from the #NRA for his support of #GunOwnership .

    The NRA lowered its rating of Walz to "F" after he changed his position to allow more restrictions on #GunOwnership following the #Parkland shooting in #Florida (including as was just pointed out to me) that, as govenor, Walz implemented background checks to prevent "mentally unstable people" from purchasing guns in #Minnesota .

    So, while I do not believe that Walz will ever support a complete ban on gun ownership (other than for #AssaultWeapons ), he has already shown that he's willing to a support "common sense" restrictions on gun ownership that will lessen (but certainly not quell) the concerns of leftist Dems in this regard.

  7. Biden noted that he would continue to urge #Congress to take #legislative action on #banning #AssaultWeapons & implementing #UniversalBackgroundChecks. Until then, he said the WH & activists will move forward with or without them.
    There have been >500 #MassShootings in 2023, acc/to Gun Violence Archive, & >30k #firearm-related #deaths. #GunViolence deaths among #teens & #children also rose an alarming 50% between 2019 & 2021 to become the leading cause of death for children in the #UnitedStates.

  8. @rosnovsky #Assaultweapons were banned before. We don’t need to repeal 2A, we just need a #scotus that will interpret it with more common sense than #scalia & #alito scum. The #nationalguard is a well-regulated militia. 2A ? ✅
