Which laws on the books prevent you from purchasing an assault rifle, 100 round magazine and a bump stock?
Assault Rifle or Assault Weapon?
To own a fully automatic firearm requires Federal Permit where an assault weapon that is semi-automatic depend on state requirements.
Also banning the clip size or bump stocks will not prevent someone from modifying their firearm which if modified from semi to auto is against the law!
Also it is against the law to commit murder no matter with a firearm or with a truck bomb, and yet criminals do not care.
Hell drunk drivers that kill innocent people go to prison and when they get out they drive drunk again, so let get real it is the human element that is the problem in this equation.
So you already know there are laws on the books that prevent people from owning fully automatic weapons, or converting a Semi into a automatic and yet criminals do not care.
So now you want to ban bump stocks and magazines that hold what you consider too many rounds?
Well then leave it to the State level and local governments and if they deem to ban the item and the courts agree then so be it but keep the Federal Government out of it.
Certain states have laws on magazine sizes, so leave it at that level and work on each state or don't and try to make a Federal Issue out of it and discover how many people resist you because you went Federal on this issue!
Here is the problem...
We do not want automatic weapons in the hands of the general public. We saw what they do and banned them way back in the 1930s
We thought we had a clear delineation in the capabilities of semiautomatic weapons and automatic weapons
As we saw last Sunday, that delineation is now pretty vague. There are ways to raise the firing rate of semiautomatics to near automatic range.
So, if our goal is to keep automatic weapons out of the hands of the general public, what do we do?
The obvious answer is to ban modification kits. But if gun owners just laugh and say...Ha, ha...I can modify my AR-15 without a store bought kit then the solution seems to be to ban semiautomatic weapons
No modifications are necessary to bump fire a gun.
And the FACT is that it is hardly ever done even at gun ranges.
Another FACT is that murders with rifles are outnumbered by plenty of other weapons and even by fists alone.
your crusade against rifles is meaningless and will have no effect on 99% of the murders that occur every single yearWhich laws on the books prevent you from purchasing an assault rifle, 100 round magazine and a bump stock?

We saw on Sunday, that Paddock was able to consistently obtain high rates of fire using semiautomatic weapons
It enabled him to rain down terror on thousands of people
Much like the Tommy guns of the 1920s, we saw that was much too much power in private hands
Now, if it turns out there is no way to practically restrict the means to turn a semiautomatic to full automatic, then we need to look into ways to restrict semiautomatics
We disagree.
We have had semiautomatic rifles available to the public for over 100 years.
I see no reason to ban them for what is an anomaly in the history of their existence.
We do disagree
I looked at video of the shooter in that hotel window last Sunday and thought....There is no reason a private citizen should have access to that much firepower
You look at it as no big deal. Shit happens
