1. Weirdd, eh !!!

[lunasun]

2. We had an AWB bring it back - it's a start do something

3. "Keep that shit on the battlefields. Do not bring it into our communities."

4. Sorta laudable.

Wealthy ready to trade guns for racism to keep their claws in the money till. Racism will remain a weapon for another day.

[Scarsdale]

6. Too little, too late, Rupert.

How about getting the vicious racists off the air at you Faux network? The so-called reporters at Faux have contributed greatly to the hatred in this country. Hannity and others should have been off the air years ago, long before it got to this critical stage. They are the source of a lot of tRump's messages.

7. This does nothing.

They need to ban owning any firearm capable of semi-automatic rates of fire.

Eliminating high capacity clips/magazines would also limit the amount of carnage. Gives more people a chance to get away while the shooter changes magazines which ideally contains but 3 rounds.

If a hunter can't bag his game with three shots he needs to get his meat at the supermarket and the animal deserves to get away. It's only sporting old boy.

11. Banning semi-automatic rates on weapons would ban just about everything.

Some BB guns, pellet guns, pistols, rifles, but not the flint lock or the old Winchesters.

Semi automatic means that you do not have to manually load the weapon before you can fire.

[Ligyron]

24. Correct.

Bolt action only.

[Hulk]

8. Stating the obvious!

We should be satisfied with this trinket.

This nation needs to ratify, revise, or repeal the 2nd Amendment...nothing short of that is an answer for this sick nation. Ban all assault weapons...ALL assault weapons. Have a brief buy back period, and after that, they are illegal and subject to prosecution. What's "an assault weapon"?...anything that pumps out more than 10 rounds a minute. Any large capacity clips. Enough is enough. The 2nd Amendment is out dated and ridiculous in today's world of military weapons. We can continue to stick our head in the sand and be afraid to step outside the front door...or we can finally wake the hell up and address the elephant in the room. Fuck the NRA, and fuck all the politicians with no balls to address this. Vote the bastards out.

9. !!!

15. Implementing strict gun regulations similar to Massachusetts

would result in a dramatic drop in gun deaths.

[llmart]

23. Great post.

We need to do just what you said. And right fucking now!

[IronLionZion]

10. Rupert Murdoch's RW news empire is probably just as complicit in spreading hate

[Pepsidog]

17. The most complicit!

[SCVDem]

18. Probably?

How about a 100% iron clad guarantee!

Without fox, we are not involved in endless war in Afghanistan and the total cluster fuck in Iraq either!

[Quixote1818]

12. That is only because he knows it will sell well in NY. All about money as usual. nt

[cstanleytech]

13. Only way to really do it that will not get crushed by SCOTUS

is via an amedment to the Constitution.

[packman]

14. Reminds me of the old saying

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

[Pepsidog]

16. Ban Fox and Murdochs and Mercers while your at it.

[Aristus]

19. Expect an outpouring of frenzied, hysterical bullshit from the gunfucks

on what exactly constitutes an assault rifle.

They will furnish definitions of 'assault rifle' that are so arcane, abstruse, and elliptical that they may not even really exist.

[Dios Mio]

20. Trump's dilemma

Hope he doesn’t upset his base if backs any type of gun control. Yuk! Yuk!

[ooky]

21. Wanna bet we won't hear that on his Fox "News" nazi shows?

[NNadir]

22. How about a ban on inciting racists, um, Fox/Rupert? Nothing, I suppose.

They'll support Trump right through the collapse of the United States.
