    Since Obama has been President federal gun rights have expanded not contracted.




    An AR-15 is what's called a sporting rifle... they s---t 5.56 rounds... the bullets used in war because they k--- people or deliver crippling injuries. For $100 you can buy a bump stock and turn it into full auto. You can buy a Beta C-Mag drum and fire 100 rounds without reloading.


    I've been around guns all my life. I own guns. I'm not going to lie to myself and other people and say I'll be able to defend myself against weapons of war that are readily available to anyone with a handgun I may of may not have when I'm in public.

    You really aren't smart enough to contribute . So, why not just avoid my threads?

    The point is you can easily get an AR-15, even one that shoots 5.56 (s--- you can buy guns built on the sam platform as an AR that s---t 12 gauge shotgun rounds and even an assault rifle that shoots .30-06), get the bump stock that effectively makes it full auto and get a couple of beta C mag 100 round drums and then go to Santa Monica pier on a summer Friday night and k--- hundreds of people and cause a lot of terror.

    There's nothing that would stop you.

    The amount of mass shootings under Obama is more than all shootings since 1980 together multiplied by 2.

    And saying gun control has eased under Obama is false. Some states passed more gun control regulation and some went the other way.

    To me, it seems like a bigger issue than guns.

    But that's already illegal in many states, namely California. It's not stopping anyone who wants to hurt someone. I'm not saying abandon it, but it's clearly not effective.

    Because its legal in other states... states you can easily drive to California from.

    The San Bernardino shooters modified their weapons themselves.

    AR 15's? Assault rifles? The ones that were banned during Bill Clinton's term? Yes... I knew that.

    It's an example of gun control failing continuously in the strictest states such as California.

    It's an example of the lack of Federal gun control failing the states inside of America and Americans needlessly being killed because of the all to powerful special interest group, The NRA... and greedy gun industry.

    To know why California banned assault rifles in 1989... and why President Clinton signed the National Assault Rifle ban into law... you'd have to know who Patrick Purdy is.

    not 100% true. Some AR-15's are chambered for .223 remington and can only s---t .223 ammo. the rest of the AR-15's are 5.56mm NATO chambers that can s---t both ammunition types safely. Though, I think 5.56mm is illegal for you guys to buy?

    I said Federal gun rights have expanded under Obama... that is factually correct. Obama is on the federal level... not the state or city level.

    The gun industry has used Obama as a sales tool.

    They have sold more guns that are capable of mass shootings... and then more mass shootings have occured.


    More assault rifles... less gun control at the federal level = more mass shootings.

    I think only the bushmaster is the only AR that shoots just .223.


    You can definitely buy 5.56 x 45 in America.

    That's why I said "most", but there is not a ban on 5.56

    I mean, that's an opinion, but I don't agree with it. Guns control is not solely responsible (or really even partially responsible in my opinion) for the amount of mass shootings to exponentially grow the way it has.

    The gun industry has benefitted from a fear that Obama will pass sweeping regulation, but they have not used him as a sales tool.
