How long before some GOP hack says "Now is not the time..."

[edhopper]

to talk about semi-automatic weapons ban?

[Travis_0004]

1. Automatic weapons were banned in 1986.

[edhopper]

3. semi-automatics

that can easily be converted.

Are you saying we shouldn't look at how he was able to get such a weapon?

[jmg257]

6. ARs are quite legal in Florida. Not sure why it would be a big mystery

Unless he owned it illegally.

Surely that will be part of the investigation.

[edhopper]

7. And why do we

allow people to own such weapons?

But we aren't allowed to even talk about it, especially in response to something this horrific.

[jmg257]

8. All worthy of an in-depth conversation, one thats been ongoing for decades.

and will obviously intensify.

[jmg257]

2. You mean "semi-automatic"? nt

[edhopper]

5. yes

ones that can be easily converted.
