Republicans are responsible for mass shootings and deaths since 2004 because President George W. Bush let the Assault Weapons Ban expire in 2004. Republicans have refused since then to allow it to be renewed.

Under the 1994 Clinton Administration Assault Weapons Ban, the maximum capacity of a magazine was set at 10 rounds. AR-15s were one of 18 semiautomatic weapons banned under the 1994 law that expired in 2004 during the Republican George W. Bush administration despite broad public support and a drop in gun fatalities.

Since then, killers have used semiautomatics to target victims en masse at Virginia Tech in 2007; the Fort Hood military base in 2009; the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado in 2012; a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012; Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, CT in 2012, the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando in 2016, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting which left 58 people dead, the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fl in which 17 students died, mass shooting on March 22, 2021 at a King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, CO in which 10 people were killed, May 14, 2022 a gunman shot 13 people killing 10 at a grocery store in Buffalo and May 24, 2022 at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde TX which left 21 people dead and 17 more injured.

Republican Senator Brags About Stonewalling Gun Control While Multiple Mass Shootings Are Happening

During a day in which 60 shootings occurred, including multiple mass shootings, Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas tweeted that gun control was “not gonna happen.” He and his Party are going to do everything they can to block gun control legislation that the majority of Americans support, all because they love their money from the gun industry.

 

Republicans don’t care that a clear majority of Americans has supported banning Assault Weapons for years. They’ve put their allegiance to the NRA above doing what the American people want. This is more proof that Republicans don’t believe in Democracy or representative government. Similar to Fascist Authoritarian Dictator Regimes, it’s about cramming what they want down their subjects throats.

Since Republicans have consistently refused to make assault weapons illegal, refused to pass legislation which demands tests & minimum requirements for gun / weapons ownership, Republicans are responsible for ALL mass shootings in the United States in which assault weapons were used.

People have to get a license to drive a car… they also should be required to pass some kind of tests to own a gun.

AR-15: The Gun Behind So Many Mass Shootings

The AR-15 assault rifle is commonly used in mass shootings in the United States. Here’s a closer look at likely reasons why.

 

Proof That AR-15s Are Weapons Of War

The death toll from the shooting in Colorado may be unusual in most countries, but it’s common in the U.S. because the alleged killer used an “AR-15 style rifle,” a weapon explicitly meant for going on offense and not defense. In this special report, MSNBC’s Ari Melber traces the origins of the weapon and its intended use, how civilians came about using it in increasing numbers, and what makes it so deadly. This is an excerpt from a longer special report. Aired on 03/23/2021.

 

Two days before the deadly riots at the Capitol, the NRA sent a letter to its members claiming that under the Biden administration, armed government agents would “storm your house, take your guns and haul you to prison.”

The LIE that the NRA and Republicans continue to peddle that… “Democrats want to take your guns away” is TOTAL BS!

They use this ridiculous lie to make sure low-information people ALWAYS vote for Republicans, who want to take away their Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security while giving Tax Breaks to the Rich.

Amazing how almost half of the people in this country are so stupid that they consistently vote for Republicans… who consistently do NOTHING for them.

 

Per an article at; wpr.org/survey-only-3-percent-americans-own-half-guns-us;

“Only 3 Percent Of Americans Own Half The Guns In US. The percentage of Americans who own guns decreased from 25 percent to 22 percent, according to the report. It also found about 78 percent of Americans don’t own guns, and 19 percent of adults in the U.S. own the remaining half of firearms in the country.

The Guardian newspaper referred to the 3 percent group as “super-owners” and said they own an average of 17 guns each”.

A small portion of the population who believe there should be NO regulations are bullying and forcing their radical demands of “no regulations” down the throats of the majority.

 

83 Percent of Americans support background checks on people purchasing guns and limiting access to semi-automatic weapons. The NRA and Republicans are doing everything possible to thwart the will of the American people.

Texas Loosening Gun Laws Weeks After Mass Shooting

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott defended new gun laws that ease restrictions on gun owners in that state, hours after the laws went into effect and hours after a gunman shot at least 21 people, killing seven, in and around Odessa, Texas.

The new laws loosen restrictions on gun ownership and use in schools, foster homes, apartment buildings, and houses of worship.

 

Republican Tells THE TRUTH About Gun Control

Republicans are owned by the NRA and gun lobbies. Although over half of Americans want Assault Weapons banned and enhanced background checks to stop mentally ill people from getting guns, Republicans don’t care and will continue to do nothing. The only solutions is to vote Republicans out of office.

 

90% of Americans and 92% of gun owners want gun reform, but the NRA has found clever ways to block that in Washington.

 

Far-right militias and domestic terrorism in America

 

As shown, Republican congressmen are bought & paid for by the NRA.

 

The NRA is also responsible because they also do not want any restrictions on the sale / purchase of assault weapons and have used their lobbying power to make sure Republicans don’t support assault weapons bans.

GUNS RUIN LIVES

Gun advocates love to claim guns save lives and are necessary for self protection. Here’s just a few examples of how guns ruined lives and how if the shooters didn’t have a gun, none of these events would have happened…

Columbine High School Massacre – click here to read

Colorado Theater Shooting– click here to read

Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting – click here to read

Florida man gets life in prison for killing teen over loud music – click here to read

Pennsylvania Road-rage killing after lane merge – click here to read

The most notable examples above of killings which could have been avoided are the Pennsylvania road-rage killing and Killing teen over loud music. These were rage and out-of-control temper cases. If the shooters hadn’t had a gun these events wouldn’t have happened. Their having a gun caused their lives & their families, the people they shot and their families to be destroyed.

As shown in the above examples, not everyone is emotionally stable enough to own deadly weapons. People have to get a license to drive a car… they also should be required to pass some kind of tests to own a gun. Also, military grade weapons which can rapid fire over 20 rounds of ammo should not be allowed to be owned by Average Joe citizens.

Republicans do not care that 80% of Americans want Gun Control legislation to be passed.
