The whole "fiearms are pouring in from neighboring states with less restrictive laws" bit is just way old man. In order to buy a firearm in a neighboring state where one does not live and actually taking the firearm with them when they head home just does NOT happen. They can indeed purchase the firearm providing they pass the NCIC background check but then the piece must be shipped to an FFL holder in the persons state of residence and the process repeated.
And if the purchaser lives in a municipality that requires other hoops be jumped through such as Chicago or NYC the receiving dealer must see to it all those municipal restrictions are followed. NYC and Chicago both require a license to own a firearm and they also require registration and a 30 day waiting period I do believe. Do you honestly believe that complete and utter bilge that "guns are pouring in from neighboring states with less restrictive laws" pile of reeking bovine excrement?
Of course they do because the mindless sheeple have been TOLD to believe that and having little to no cognitive ability... they do.
The Democrats ar once again pushing the same failed "solutions" today (restrict or ban certain guns, waiting periods, even restricting ammo), that they have tried for years, and the murder rate has never gone down.
You'd think they'd finally take the hint, and try some of the things that have been shown to work. They are even legal, i.e. they don't violate the 2nd amendment.
Right, but you're missing an angle and while this thread is over a year old, I've seen similar topics for decades.
The "angle" is that they have NOT tried for years, they've talked about it and grandstanded but really for the most part just use it as a political issue.
Also, actually the murder rate has gone down over the years despite the guns. It just recently spiked again, despite all the guns remaining unchanged.
That tells everyone that there are social issues strongly at play and we can change these outcomes in other ways without disarming law biding citizenry.
The 2nd is one of the most interpreted amendments. All it says is ..
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
No where does it say anything about age, gender, weight, caliber, size, rate of fire or magazines. There are already arms restrictions implemented by Congress. Machine guns have been regulated at the federal level since the 1930s, and the manufacture or importation of new machine guns for sale to civilians has been banned since 1986. Civilians can not buy military grade arms such as rocket launchers, hand grenades and a lot more.
With that precedence, it is reasonable that Congress could further limit arms in any one of a number of ways without infringing on the right of people to keep and bear (less deadly) arms or changing the 2nd amendment.
The only question is will conservatives prioritize the safety of American citizens (and children) above greed and power.
Of course all this is not in the conservative interest of trying to increase hate for democrats either.
I wouldnt worry about any restrictions or laws they pass on guns...they havent been effective and new ones will not be any different...I say let them try!
If they go to far, citizens have the numbers to stop them anyway. Besides that, what cop is going to enforce these kinds of laws on their neighbors, friends, family? LOL

And much to the surprise/dismay of the gun grabbing Left..... semiautomatics such as the AR-15 are not "military grade" weapons.

No matter what they look like.
Pure semantics ... the only thing missing is full auto. Add a bump stock and there is not much difference in fire power. Add a 50 or 100 round drum magazine and you have more firepower than most 'military grade assault rifles'.
A bump stock can achieve up to 600 rounds a minute or 10 per second. About the only limiting factor is your pocket book. At about 60 cents per NATO round x 100 rounds at that fire rate you can burn 60 bucks in 10 seconds.
Short of a 'thrill' on a firing range under controlled conditions, what civilian actually needs that kind of fire power.

What “civilian” needs a coat when it is currently summer? Ban all coats of course.
