why won't we get an answer... you are blaming the rep's, i didn't see the dem's do shit... so i guess those motherfuckers also ain't open to change...

that isn't really the picture if you look back a little further

TL;DR
Dems (Biden included) banned assault rifles and extended magazines, Repubs allowed it to expired and have been preventing any legislation ever since.


1994 DEM President Clinton

Twenty five years ago, when Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Congress passed the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act — commonly called the assault weapons ban.

It prohibited the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons. The act also banned magazines that could accommodate 10 rounds or more.

In his Times op-ed, Biden salutes the senator often credited as the architect of the 1994 ban, Dianne Feinstein of California. Then, in just her second year as a senator, Feinstein took over as chief sponsor of a bill originally offered by Ohio Democrat Howard Metzenbaum in 1989 after a mass shooting on a schoolyard in Stockton, Calif.

That shooting took the lives of five children and injured 28 others and a teacher.

Feinstein's resolve to carry this legislation forward was bolstered when eight more people were killed and six injured in another California horror, this time at a law firm in San Francisco.


2004 REP President Bush


Republicans by then had held the House throughout the period and the Senate for all but 18 months. The GOP had just increased its numbers in both chambers in the midterm elections of 2002, a political season dominated by anxiety after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The sunset provision came and ended the ban.

Feinstein and others made numerous efforts to restore the ban that year and over the next several years.


2009 DEM President Obama

When Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 he made renewing the ban part of his agenda. Efforts were mounted again after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012, but none bore fruit.

The attempt to reinstate the ban after Sandy Hook attracted 12 fewer votes in the Senate than Feinstein had mustered in an attempt to renew the ban in 2004.


2016 REP President Trump

“I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,”

“Take the guns first, go through due process second,”

lol


2020 DEM President Biden

The U.S. Once Had A Ban On Assault Weapons — Why Did It Expire?​

The idea that the public should not have military weapons is flawed, if a right exists it is shared by all equally, you cannot delegate a right if it does not exist therefore government cannot have the right to military weapons if the public does not have that right, if you do not have it you cannot give it away, government is below man as it was created by man, the created cannot be greater than the creator, man cannot be greater than God, a child cannot be greater than the parent.

We have God given unlienable rights and as such they cannot be taken away no matter what is written down or who says so, one right is to own anything and use anything that has or will be invented no matter what it is.
The 2nd amendment does not give rights it ensures government cannot take it away period.
Government does not give you rights they come from God, government does all it can to take away rights but it cannot unless you consent, have you ever heard of 'the consent of the governed', all legislation is contract law and requires consent, they trick you into giving consent or contracting with them by getting you to associate with the person which is a corporation not a living flesh and blood man or woman, the government is a corporation and can only contract with another corporation not a living flesh and blood man or woman that is why they invented the person and teach you in school to associate yourself with it which is fraud in contract, fraud vitiates everything.
When you are approached by a police officer or go to court they ask you are you Joe BLOGGS, if you say yes they have joinder and you have consented to contract with them as the person, they are a corporation and cannot deal with a living flesh and blood man or woman, they wear black robes because the are mourning the dead.
They are using Maritime Law, the Law of water or contract law which has no standing on land and is inland piracy, only a Common Law court has standing on land and does not require consent as we all understand Common Law which is quite simple do no harm, even children understand it that is why ignorance of the Law is no excuse nothing to do with legislation which is written in legalese not English so ignorance of legislation is every excuse.
Under legislation you can get away with crimes because of technicalities, under common Law you cannot, if it is proven to the jury that you did harm then you are guilty.

Statute comes from statue, a statue of a man has the appearance of a man but is not a man, a statute has the appearance of a Law but is not a Law it is policy hence policy enforcement officers (police), an officer is there to check on accounts and balance the books not to enforce Common Law nor serve or protect the people.

Acts are fictional plays on words not Law again it is mere policy.

Corporations write policy not Law.

If I cannot write Law then you cannot write Law and neither can government, ask yourself who wrote it, what makes them so special, how do they have any more right than you or I do, just because they have a suit or a title to their name, what elevated them above God as God gave us all free will.

If someone claims authority over you then they are saying you are a slave.

And how many of these types of attacks have they had this week? Or the week before that one? Or in the months previous? How about years previous?

We have mass shootings daily in America. Some times multiple a day.

Take your strawman argument and light it on fire.
I think Hollywood and the media can take a bit of blame as well. They glorify, promote and cash in on the shock value then exploit it to the point the bar can't go any higher. John Wick series for example,so many shootings it becomes "fun" and the news just can't wait to be the first to talk about how sad it is as they rub their hands when their viewer numbers increase,and the nutbars want their 15 minutes.

yes as the rhetoric gets louder..... The corrupt politicians cannot have an armed populace if they are to thoroughly control you.

How many more gun laws will it take if they do not enforce the ones they have now? All more regulations and restrictions do is make feel good press for the sheeple. The Soros DA' s around the country are NOT enforcing laws so what good are anymore?
so true.... in ny a guy in a weed shop, shot and killed a guy.... turned out he also killed another guy a week/two ago.... and the topper... he is out on bail after having a shoot-out with the police....

You are glossing over the fact that the next administration issued executive orders undoing Obama's achievements.

It wouldn't have mattered if he passed a hundred laws, they would have been undone by Trump.

Trump set a lot of precedent.

I thought you were trying to point at a political party not passing laws so I pointed out that there is no use passing laws that will just be repealed in short order.

Your keep saying that.

You understand filibusters, correct?

The math seemed simple. Democrats needed all 54 of their senators plus six Republicans to avoid a filibuster of the gun legislation which, among other things, would have expanded background checks on gun purchases, banned certain types of assault rifles and limited ammunition magazines.

I don't think 1 party could change gun laws without the other due to the political fallout causing many to lose power. Rep, NRA, and gun lobbyists hold most of the cards.

The mass Shootings are related to - the US has a LOT of Angry Americans.

related to the US being a show-Democracy instead of a real Democracy.

Hang out with people from Sweden & the rest of the world.

They are a lot different, a lot less anger.

Well, until you get to Israel.
