The weapon he used was bought just days before the shooting and had been previously banned in Boulder under their assault rifle ban.. I am not sure what part of that you consider to be BS, but I think we all know what I said is congruent with the information that has been released up to this point. It may not play well with the narrative you want to push, but I am only speaking to what has happened and what has been reported.Give the assault rifle bull s*it a rest.
No one is selling assault riffles.
Would you feel better if he used a 357 magnum revolver?
No, it would not make me feel any better or worse if this guy had used any other type of gun. I am sick of this shit happening in America period and we all should be. If you want to act like you aren’t because it may weaken your stance on the availability to certain thpes of guns to the general public... I will leave it up to you as to how you want to sort that out with your conscience. The facts are these mass shootings happen way too often and commonly, especially in the most violent/lethal examples, the perps are using AR-15s and comparable assault style weapons to carry out the attacks. At some point we have to ask if making weapons of war easily available to virtually anyone in America is contributing to the frequency and severity of the events- the timeline and circumstances of this most recent event makes it very clear that there is a direct correlation. 3 of the top 5 most deadly incidents of mass shootings in American history have taken place since 2016. Virtually all of the most deadly incidents were perpetrated by people wielding assault style weapons, the worst fo which he had a bump stock mod as well which allowed hom to fire the gun at a pace almost equal to fully automatic fire without reducing accuracy... The data is out there, it is clear and allowing people to own these guns, the high capacity mags, and bump stocks... Is not necessary, nor is it reasonable and it 100% is NOT a “god given right” nor was it the intended purpose of the second amendment.
We have deeper problems at the root of these incidents certainly, but the unpredictable nature of them, and the increasing frequency demands we do something. Limiting accessibility of weapons that make it SO much easier to slaughter higher numbers of people is a reasonable step to take while we explore better long term solutions.
