The #law’s ban on what critics call #AssaultWeapons ban did not violate the #SecondAmendment because rapid-firing long guns “are #military-style weapons designed for sustained #combat operations that are ill-suited & disproportionate to the need for self-defense,” wrote Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

Easy vote: Remove Elon.
If you remove #TheOrangeMenace, you get Vance.
#DonnieDumbass is an empty vessel. He doesn't actually want to DO the job, he just wants the POWER that comes with it.
That's why he surrounds himself with people who tell him what to do. (Remember in 2017 in a meeting that included Nancy #Pelosi… she convinced him we need to ban #AssaultWeapons. When he repeated it, the Right went nuts and he back-tracked immediately.) #ElongatedMuskrat
At what point do Democrats start to realize that maybe unilaterally disarming themselves and pushing to disarm everyone else capable of and willing to fight back against a totalitarian fascist state maybe wasn't the smartest idea?
Are you starting to get a clue why the people need access to military weapons, yet?
@realTuckFrumper
I think every world leader figured out during his first term that #DonnieDumbass tends to agree with the last person he talks to (remember the outrage after #Pelosi got him to agree with the need to ban #AssaultWeapons?)
His #TeamOfSicophants will get him to flipflop just as quickly.
Montreal mayor backs Polytechnique survivors’ call for complete assault weapon ban
PolySeSouvient estimates about 450 firearms need to be added to the list of banned weapons and it is urging the government to complete the task before the next federal election.

If you’re one of the millions of #SwingVoters in the #2024election that does *not* own a private plane, and would get fired for taking a leave of absence when #DonaldTrump gives the signal for “one rough hour” of #ExtremeViolence (in a country saturated with #AssaultWeapons ), then you might want to #VoteBlueNoMatterWho. https://www.nationalmemo.com/donald-trump-kristallnacht
@CarlG @GottaLaff @marcelias 
For Republicans, Carl, it seems that wanting to vote is much worse than owning a semi-automatic assault weapon.

Probably.
#DonnieDumbass has a long history of agreeing with anyone he perceives (at that particular moment) to be smarter than him (remember in mid-2017 iirc he agreed with Nancy Pelosi on an #AssaultWeapons Ban and he said he thought it was a "good idea" until the #NRA lost their collective minds over it?)
So, if someone like Miller suggests "tattooing ID numbers on 'illegal' kids", his reaction is "great idea!", not "Gee, that sounds familiar."

Two #AssassinationAttempt's in 9 weeks, both "armed with an #AK47-style #AssaultRifle", and STILL #Republicans... including T**** himself... are more concerned about protecting the #guns than the people.
Fortunately this time, the gunman never got off a single shot, but how many attempts does it take before they start to question such easy access to #AssaultWeapons?

Vice President #Harris: I have personally prosecuted #homicide cases. I have personally looked at autopsies. I have personally seen what #AssaultWeapons do to the human body. I feel very strongly that it is consistent with the #SecondAmendment and your right to own a #gun to also say we need an #AssaultWeaponsBan. They're literally tools of #war
My friend Ann has been playing with #MidJourney and came up with this image - which I think is highly appropriate at the moment. #GunControl #AssaultWeapons #MassShooting #Republicans #Conservatives #NRA
And the BOOM of accountability for school #MassShootings starts to fall in places where it should, on PARENTS that provide children access to #AssaultWeapons. 
I hope that #ColinGray ends up in prison for years, just like #JamesCrumbley in #Michigan. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/georgia-school-shooting-colin-gray_n_66da4132e4b0abbb7b4440b6
Let's do #GunDealers and #Manufacturers next!
SOME PERSPECTIVE: The #GeorgiaSchoolShooting was the 30th mass killing in the U.S. so far this year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. At least 127 people have died in those killings, which are defined as events in which four or more people die within a 24-hour period, not including the killer — the same definition used by the FBI. Most of these cases involved assault weapons - which are designed to kill people quickly and efficiently and not much else. We had a ban on these weapons during the Clinton Administration, but it was allowed to lapse after #Republicans teamed up with #NRA lobbyists to kill it. #GunControl #MassShooting #GunViolence #GunControlNow #AssaultWeapons
Every day that the Department of #Justice delays charging the parents of #ColtGray for providing access to #AssaultWeapons to their mentally unstable son #ColtGray increases the probability of a #MassShooting in another school. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c049yw352r1o

BEAR IN MIND: #DementiaDon has NO principles that he won't sell out for political expediency.
He has ALWAYS set his policies based according to whatever person he's speaking to at the time.
REMEMBER early in his administration when he agreed with Nancy Pelosi on banning #AssaultWeapons?
And he turns every difficult job over to someone else so HE doesn't actually have to do it:
STATES decide #Abortion. Originally planned to turn over every difficult job over to SIL #Kushner.
#Trump: “She wants to take away your guns.”
False.
MVP #KamalaHarris, in 2019, said she supports a gun buyback program for #AssaultWeapons, not all #guns. Her campaign recently said that she no longer supports a buyback program.
Her running mate, Gov #TimWalz, is a gun owner & a hunter.
When #Walz signed 2023 MN gun law he said, "This is NOT about the #SecondAmendment, This is about the #safety & #security of our communities. That's what's happening here today."
@jcrabapple The most obvious things that will be of concern to leftist #Dems are that #Walz is a #GunOwner, a #Hunter & once received an "A" rating from the #NRA for his support of #GunOwnership .
The NRA lowered its rating of Walz to "F" after he changed his position to allow more restrictions on #GunOwnership following the #Parkland shooting in #Florida (including as was just pointed out to me) that, as govenor, Walz implemented background checks to prevent "mentally unstable people" from purchasing guns in #Minnesota .
So, while I do not believe that Walz will ever support a complete ban on gun ownership (other than for #AssaultWeapons ), he has already shown that he's willing to a support "common sense" restrictions on gun ownership that will lessen (but certainly not quell) the concerns of leftist Dems in this regard.
When Donald Trump gets shot vs. when children get shot...
