Yes.

Is that what you want?

As a note, I don't own any AR platforms but, although it's derided, I do see the slippery slope because I've seen it attempted to be played out here in Maryland.
I miswrote what I bolded. Pump actions were outlawed in Australia. In the original list I quoted the only long guns allowed to be kept there were double guns (SxS and O/U), bolt action and single shot.

Taking no action, as we have done for the last 20 years at the bidding of the NRA, has accomplished nothing. No matter what is proposed, the NRA crowd is against it. Draw you own conclusions. I certainly have.
That is a bald face lie. You really should try and keep up...

I shouldn't do it, but the temptation was too big to resist for some memes.

Why is it that the same people claiming it's not a gun issue but a mental health issue are often the very same ones who are not supportive of health care that is accessible and affordable for everyone? Including mental health care, prenatal care, birth control, and comprehensive care even after babies are born?

How many people have guns slaughtered on their own? He was speaking conceptually. Guess it went over your head.

Because those people don't give 2 craps about anyone or anything outside of themselves & their guns. They don't care about gun violence let alone mass shootings, they revel in it.
