Assault weapons are not for sale in the United States to the general public. I
don't know if you understand what an Assault weapon is. They are fully
automatic. That is , you pull the trigger and can empty a thirty round magazine
in a three- five seconds. It's like a machine gun. As long as you hold the
trigger back, it fires in rapid successsion until the magazine is empty.
The weapons people are calling *Assault weapons* that the general public can
buy, look exactly the same but the difference is, they only fire one bullet
every time you pull the trigger. A common deer hunting rifle does the same. It
just doesn't have that *scary* military look to it. The difference in a common
deer hunting rifle and an AR-15 or even an AK-47 available for the public is
cosmetic. They look *scary* to those that are not informed.They *Look* just
like a military assault rifle. The military version is called an M-16. It is
fully automatic and you can empty a full thirty rounds with one pull of the
trigger like a machine gun. The AR-15 is for civilian use and fires one bullet
each time you pull the trigger back, just like a deer hunting rifle. M- 16's
are not available to the public, AR-15's are.
Many people don't understand the difference and people who really want lots
of gun control, try to keep people ignorant about the difference. As I said,
they *look* scary and many people confuse the two and don't know the difference.
Omar Mateen had an AR-15 , semi automatic and a semi automatic 9 mm pistol.
Semi automatic pistol is the same . They fire one bullet each time the trigger
is pulled.
People do hunt with AR-15s. People use them for home defense and target
practice.
Thank you for your in-depth description of various weapons. I think any weapon,
available to your neighbor or mine, should not include a magazine that includes
many rounds of ammunition. The AR-15 evidently requires the user to quickly and
rapidly pull the trigger in order to bury a bullet per second into a multitude
of bodies. I figure the Average Joe could probably fire 30 rounds in about 25
seconds. I certainly could.

Or seek out another source. If you can't buy your *imitation assault style
weapon* legally, maybe you can find a real one(fully automatic, military grade
assault weapon) on the black market.
That's a lousy argument. To say the criminal element can always find what they
want on the black market so why bother to make something illegal is absurd at
best and dangerous at worst.
Not at all. You are depriving legal use by law abiding citizens. Just because
you can't handle french fries is no reason to deprive of them.
I am talking primarily about assault weapons. There is not a civilian alive on
this planet who needs one of those.

Not being able to buy 9mm machine guns at Walmart might make the ideologies

You want to ban the Koran from public places but what about these guys with
murder in their hearts running around with assault weapons -- no doubt legally
obtained. We used to have a ban on these weapons (in the Clinton
administration) but it was allowed to expire under Bush. I am in favor of
banning these weapons, which no one needs, once again, rather than banning
books.
You cannot decry Islamic-inspired terrorism and at the same time support the
insane US gun culture that makes such mayhem ridiculously easy.
Amen.

Another plot broken up in LA. Man on his way to a Gay Pride Parade arrested
with assault rifles and explosives. Ethnicity not noted. OF course if he were a
White Christian, it would be all over the place by now.
You know, after the mass shooting in South Carolina, much ado was made about a
picture of the shooter with a Confederate flag and it has been banned in public
places all over the country as a symbol of hate. Time to ban the Koran from
public places for the same.

Today's death toll so far, 50+ by Muslim extremest of Afghan immigrant

a temporary end to Muslim immigration until better vetting can occur. Democrats
see nothing wrong with our vetting process now, it's adequate.
At this moment, Trump is doing a happy dance behind closed doors. All he will
recognize the massacre as is a way to promote his agenda of hate against all
Muslims. Kinda like him wishing so many would default on their mortgages back
in 2008 so he could swoop in and fly away with the carrion.

religious duty( see today's mass killing in Orlando),Misogynistic total control
of females and their behavior, racist because they still practice slavery, even

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.
Even with someone they love.
