Here we go again!

There is a vast difference with having a shot gun and having a high power rifle. These people with high powered rifles, has turned the US into a killing zone. Today's mass shooting is the 2nd mass shooting in a little more than 1 month. When will this non sense stop? Republicans stand their ground with the NRA and block every avenue the Dems attempt to pass laws banning these types of weapons. I am lost for words to explain I feel tonight, especially when innocent people are killed because of the 2nd amendment! My heart is broken for those victims and their families. Sadly, we have a POTUS who has inflamed this issues and giving these killers a platform for hate. This hate needs to be stop and we needs find a way to stop the NRA's influence of the 2nd amendment. Between the GOP, Trump his money grubbing cronies and the NRA, these mass shooting will most likely escalate to the point where we have more victims? I believe in the right for the public to have peace and not worry about what gun nut who will shoot up a mall, a church, a group of people, or a school. There are no more excuses!

3. It's the high capacity magazines that are the culprit

And they used to be illegal. A magnum rifle can typically hold four cartridges (three in the magazine and one on the chamber) except say a .22 magnum. Non magnums hold one more.

With the AR style and high capacity magazines thirty or even 100 rounds are possible. They are an instrument of war.

4. But to able to shoot thru walls are what these high powered rifles are capable doing.

I agree with the magazines though, to many rounds are just as dangerous.

6. Look, let's be realistic here

High powered rifles are used for hunting and have been around for 100 plus years. We will NEVER ban them.

However, the high capacity magazines were once illegal and could be illegal again.

5. +1, any device designed to kill massive amounts of humans in a short time is a WMD

7. Exactly. And only cowards use them against unarmed people.
