As the horror story of this continues I do need to ask the question ...
Why do we need regular people buying assault rifles? Now if the ONLY reason is we are afraid the police are going to attack us someday, that is a pretty weak reason. I mean doesn't common sense suggest we ban such weapons from being purchased?
I respect all people including gun advocates even though I've never actually picked up a real gun and I'm sure never will pick one up in my lifetime. Please explain. I am listening.
A better question is why a guy who was interviewed by the FBI twice in the last 2 years, with known ties to an American suicide bomber....was allowed to buy a firearm(s) without a red flag being raised.
And for the one millionth time - an AR-15 is no more an assault rifle than a ranch rifle. That is a POLITICAL TERM.
