Hasn’t that stat he is quoting been debunked? Or isn’t he manipulating numbers?
I can't see how an assault rifle would significantly affect "mass shootings" in such a fashion - most such shootings were conducted with handguns rather than an assault rifle, were they not?
True. And I thought assault rifles were banned or fully automatic machine guns that the media seems to talk about endlessly. You can tell when a shooting is done by handgun how quickly it’s out of the news cycle
As I recall they're not banned but you have to pay a $200 tax and undergo enhanced vetting to be allowed to purchase such a weapon.
Do you also need an FFL to purchase automatic weapons?
You do not need an FFL to purchase a machine gun registered before 1986, when the registry was closed. This means there is a relatively small number of them available and it can only get smaller as they wear out, although it is not uncommon for people to secretly, and illegally, make new recievers to keep them running.
Post-1986 machine guns require an FFL with a SOT, which is a special license to deal in NFA items. If you aren't actively conducting buisness with the guns, the ATF will take your license and you'll have to sell any NFA items.
