Assault Weapons Were Banned Before. Let’s Do It Again – NOW!

Assault weapons need to be taken off the shelves of gun stores in America. NOW!

This is not unconstitutional.  Machine guns have been illegal since the 30’s.

Just about the same thing, right?  A firearm that’s capable of shooting hundreds of rounds in a short period of time.

I don’t want to hear the bullshit excuse of the NRA or proud “patriots” that this is “taking our guns away.”

It isn’t.

America is under attack from within.  White supremacists are taking the racist rhetoric of Donald Trump to heart.

This HAS to stop – now!

I work in retail.  This could have happened in my store.

Let’s get serious.  We banned assault weapons once before, we CAN do it again.

Lawmakers have not passed legislation limiting semiautomatic weapons since 1994, when they passed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which made it unlawful in most cases to make, transfer or possess semiautomatic assault weapons. It expired in 2004.

President George W. Bush let it expire.

Let’s do it again.

1:  Ban the manufacture and sale of assault-type weapons.
2:  High capacity magazines over 10 rounds, illegal to manufacture or sell, too.
3:  Make the manufacture or sale of equipment to convert weapons to automatic fire illegal.
4:  Institute a limit of the amount of ammunition one could buy over the internet and in gun stores.
5:  Why NOT a buyback?  I’m sure we could find the money somewhere to offer people a substantial amount as an incentive.
6:  Increase funding for the ATF and FBI for domestic terrorism.

Finally… and you knew I’d say this:  VOTE OUT THE RACIST HATE-MONGER in the White House.  Donald Trump’s words have given rise to hate crimes.

ENOUGH!  We are living under siege from our very own citizens.
