Military assault rifles are already banned. they have been banned since the 1930s.

We still have some guns that are made to LOOK like military weapons but they are a far cry from it.

Because background checks are useless. Only an absolute idiot criminal would submit to a background check. Even really dumb criminals know that and will find other ways (theft) to get guns.

This is the most basic way to ensure that ALL sales are to those who can legally own them and hold them accountable for what happens to that firearm.

No, it's just more government overhead for law abiding citizens.

The really giant loophole is the 80,000 a year unprosecuted criminals. That is 80,000 criminals who should be in prison.

Do that and then we talk.

How about their thumb and index finger in the shape of a gun?

So if it's the culture, and you know guns don't do it any favors you still think they should be there?

Seems like throwing dynamite in a burning building.

What use is an "assault weapon" or a large capacity magazine or "scary features"?

In Federalist Paper #46, 1788, James Madison argued that Americans should not fear the “federal” government to be established under the new compact constitution. He argued that since the American people are armed, unlike other nations whose governments fear an armed populace, no federal army led by an ambitious leader could defeat the States and their stalwart militiamen, who would outnumber and outgun any standing army.

OOOPS. Now we see the hidden agenda to diminish the rights of the people to bear "scary guns".

Some would argue the difference is splitting hair. I can't see the $20,000 difference in price and the legal hoops that we have to jump through is splitting hair.

real assault rifles, or rifles that look different than a semi automatic hunting rifle?
