Just ban all the bad guns, because it’s easier to criminalize tens of millions of honest, peaceable people and tens of millions of firearms never used in crime…
..than for the authorities to do their job and target criminals.
Dem Rep. Schakowsky: IL Has ‘Very Strong’ Gun Laws and Parade Shooter Shouldn’t Have Had Gun, But ‘Mainly’ Need Assault Weapons Ban
But mainly what we need is a ban on assault weapons like we had during the Clinton administration, and then it expired. But while it was in place, it actually stopped these mass shootings.”She added, “We knew this young man was troubled for years and years, and he should not have been allowed to have a gun, but these loopholes, these things that slip through.”
Why bother going after the one guy known to the police as potentially suicidal and homicidal, because they had at least two callouts on him, and felt he was potentially dangerous enough for them to file notice with the state police.
This Dimwit also pushes red flag laws, which Illiniois has. And it doesn’t require the police to rely on a complaint from the subject’s family; they can do it themselves.
If we’re stuck with rights-violating, no-due process abuses, why not use them against the folks who actually look dangerous?
And, hon? Highland Park has an “assault weapon” ban already. For some reason that wasn’t enforced either. Is it any wonder the conspiracy theorists keep thinking it’s deliberate, in order to have nuts on the loose the commit politically convenient crimes on cue?

I sometimes think these people actually DO want to start a war and want all of us DEAD. It is either that or they are REALY stupid. Surely some of the research types in FEDGOV have gamed a response to an attempt to ban guns, especially the “salt rifle”.
