They are not useful for hunting, which means ownership of an assault weapon is only for collecting and showing off or to be used as a weapon.

Max

The AR-15 platform is a very popular hunting rifle, and being ignorant of the facts does not make it an assault rifle. Education is required to understand this, you don't have that education.

Adam Schrader

We all have a right to protect ourselves but needing assault rifles is obsurd. Ban them!!!

Anita Grace Ward

There is no good reason for civilians to have assault weapons!

Nolan pusch

in the protection of the country, and for the government can't easily do whatever they want

Gun advocates say the Second Amendment gives them the right to own and carry guns, including assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

How do you define an assault weapon? Guns that look scary? This call to ban assault weapons is just the first step towards a total gun confiscation. Fear the government that fears your gun!! The Democrats are just a few steps away from being full blown communists. Something is rotten folks!!

Adam Schrader

We can only hope and pray that our government does the right thing by banning these insane weapons. Nobody needs these.

Aaron Steinke

Banning any type of gun is not going to help stop or keep any guns away from criminals or persons wanting to cause harm; it will only keep them away from our law abiding citizens

Jake Williams

They are already banned. AR15s etc are NOT assault weapons. Educate yourselves before spewing forth inaccurate descriptions on the "news". And riddle me this.... If "gun control" and bans work, then why did the latest shooting occur in a place with strict gun control?

Max

It was a gun free zone, this can not possibly happen, more lies from the left.

Will Mason

Banning them will embolden vicious rioters in the future. Assault weapons will be essential during the coming civil unrest. Yes I mean for defense.

stacy Hospital

The guns are not killing people ! People are killing people and they always have and always will.I also believe that they get to much recognition for their murders . Like this guy he was a bully and a loaner .He probably wanted to be noticed!! The reasoning is unknown !!

Max

It is the sane thing to do.It our only protection from an insane government.

Edi Bodine

You can't blame the gun it's the unstable moron behind it. I feel that if an assault rifle wants to be purchased then those who want it must complete and obtain a mental health evaluation by licensed mental health specialist.

Max

But AR-15 rifles are not assault rifles. Citizen can own a fully automatic machine gun legally, but they must possess the required Federal Permit, which costs $200 per year. Knowledge is key.

Adam Schrader

Why does anyone NEED an assault rifle? To assault? To kill? No need at all for them. I'm all for a rifle and deer hunting. Having a handgun by your bed for defense. But an assault rifle is pointless.

Max

First, assault weapon is an incorrect term, they are Armalite Rifles. Assault weapons are guns that can be selected to full automatic, the firearms in question can not do that. It is lies, smoke and mirrors to call these firearms, assault weapons. Adolf Hitler did the same thing in 1939.

Max

When Germany enacted gun control, firearm deaths did decline but, Gas Chamber deaths increased to over 8 Million.

Of course I am an American. I will always support my country.

Gerald Ashford

This operation is no different than any operation conducted by any president dating back to the Truman administration

VoxLesPaul

Watch the video of rejoicing Venezualans, and the wisdom of this decision is self evident. We saw the same thing when Saddam Hussein was deposed.

Fred

And how did that turn out?

Zaos Gonzolez

All commies deserve the same.

Eric Smith

Absolutely! It's wonderful finally having a president who is trying to do every single thing he promised the American people in the campaign.

Max

Maduro's drug trade, is an "Act of War" against the US. The military strikes and arrest of Maduro, are Self-Defense. There will be more, and more American lives will be saved.

42%

No. It's an act of war.

If you elect a criminal who thumbs his nose at our laws, you can expect him to ignore international law as well. I can't believe in this country elected him the first time. Doing it a second time shows you how ignorant people are in our country. It's embarrassing.

Peggy Carney

It's a act of war, Trump just wants the oil there. He is the criminal.

Max

Biden put a 25 million dollar bounty on Maduro.

Max

Maduro's drug trade is an "Act of War." You have that part correct.

Fred

Remember when we were told we would be welcomed as liberators in Iraq ... This is criminal. DON'T FORGET ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!

Max

Why are all of the Epstein files full of democrats? And, no pictures of Trump?

Been a Mizzou fan for over 60 years. Just Missouri being Missouri ...

Fat Guy Outdoors

You extended a coach who's record would of gotten him fired at a top football school. As long as just going to a bowl game is good enough Mizzou will be fine. If you want championships then you have a lot of changes that needs to happen.

Robert Oldham

Poor offense and poor offensive play calling

Ed Pesek

They didn't beat any good team this year

Harris Nelson

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Ashley Chase

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.
