Here are two posts where you called for and praised efforts to ban pistol grips on semi-auto long guns:

Obama wasted the entire first hundred days of his second term trying to outlaw pistol grips on semi-auto long guns.

I told you back then that wasting all of his political capital would lead to no achievements, and no achievements would in turn lead to a Republican victory in 2016.
You denied reality in 2013, and you're denying reality now.

Republican leaders tried working with Obama in 2011. Obama was such an extremist that he undermined his own deals and they fell through.
Moderate Republicans planned to work with Obama on immigration reform in 2015. Obama deliberately undercut their attempts to negotiate so he could make immigration a partisan campaign issue instead.

Progressives look really goofy when they falsely accuse everyone of racism.
MontereyJack wrote:And yes, I do cite evidence. 30 aimed shots with 6 round magazines, in 20-25 seconds depending on the test, about 2 seconds for a magazine change. Do the math.
Let's see some evidence of rifles being fired that fast with five-round magazines.
MontereyJack wrote:And of course no one is restricted to a 5 or 6 shot magazine when they're planning a mass murder. Come on, if you got through 6th grade you should be able to figure that oout.
They would be so restricted if rifle magazines greater than 5 rounds were covered by the National Firearms Act.
