    First of all, I don't want a semiautomatic rifle. So your contention that you know why I want one is based on something going on in your mind that only you are privy to.

    Second of all, why don't you bring me your list of mass shootings and we'll look at each one to see whether or not the capacity to fire many rounds in a short amount of time has really resulted in large numbers of deaths. Many of them are simply multiple murders in which the shooter was not motivated by a desire to kill as many people as possible randomly.

    The .223 aka 5.56 that most AR15s shoot is not legal for deer hunting in many states because it doesnt have enough "destructive force" as you put it.

    The timeline of gun control legislation since the Parkland incident.

    After Parkland: A timeline of gun-control activism, legislation

    Very recently Bank of America (and this surprises me) has decided not to lend to manufacturers of "military-style firearms". I must admit, I'm impressed. And 500,000 people showed up to voice their concern on the national mall (is that what it's called?). That's not as many votes as we're going to need! :)

    A machete can take your arm off a .223 will put a hole through it and it can heal up. So a machete is more destructive than a rifle that you cant even hunt deer with because its not powerful enough.

    Honestly, some of you guys may want to align yourselves differently considering the fact that there may be gun control legislation in the works soon. You might find that you're on the receiving end of that legislation. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it...

    That could be a PR tactic on BOA's part. Because what the hell is a military style rifle (rhetorical question)

    Doubt it. Another out of touch with reality leftist pipe dream.

    500,000 people? I don't think that qualifies as out of touch anymore.

    This leaves them plenty of room to make their own definition; that's for sure.

    Pump action shotguns have been used in mass shootings and are you willing to say that you cosuder pistols assault weapons?

    Heres a little sample of the cream of the crop

    I especially like the reporters feelings at the end.

    That's been said during the Obama era. The republican party and the NRA are surging in support.

    Even without intellect there is a good chance they will know which way to vote.

    Another memorable photo of the recent protests. MSD/Parkland will not so easily be forgotten, honestly.

    That has nothing to do with the guns. It is solely a matter of magazine size.

    Gun control is just a bandwagon for Trump haters to jump on and whine about.

    Even then, magazine size is negligible in the amount of carnage one can inflict.
