Besides don't states have the authority to institute something like a thorough background check currently?
yes, but most don't do it, afaik.

that's why you ban semi-auto rifles. no reason for people to own those beyond the shooting range

No thanks.

Things like this are pretty regional. I could see something like this be in place in Illinois.

Probably won't generate any national outrage, though.

Anyone else getting a Rupaul vibe from the Dallas Police Chief?

Handguns are used most of the time, not semiauto rifles.

Why not?

Oh the race thing. Right for some reason the fact that everybody is being shot by police seems to be less of a problem than that black people are shot more. It is an annoying way to split the population on this issue.

In most gun deaths yes. In these kinds of mass shootings less so. It is much easier to accidentally shoot yourself or somebody close to you, or commit suicide, with a handgun.

I mean...that's what we're trying to get rid of by banning guns right?  Why wouldn't you go for the things that cause the most gun deaths?

I was explaining why ARs are being singled out in reaction to these shootings.
