Put a tall yellow post so people can see the end of the drive.

If anything we should continue to feed the boulder's insatiable hunger for cars. Who knows what a starving boulder would be capable of?!

President Joe Biden said Tuesday that so-called assault weapons should be banned in the aftermath of a shooting at a Boulder, Colorado supermarket that killed 10 people.

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.

The real story typically comes from the real people involved. If they express their opinions and tell their story on social media, it's unfiltered.

Social media's a hotbed of misinformation! I'd never believe a post until I saw it confirmed on a news outlet.

People like to share things that are "shocking" and feed into their fear and filter bias. I always fact check or see if I can at least find the story on other sources.

Sam Ackerman

First off a "opinion" is just that. It's not fact, it's not news, it's just what some one thinks or feels. The same goes for "media outlets" No one gives a damm about your "opinions"

Mary Nunnink Owens

You can tell some things would not normally be filmed.

Ka San

One has only to look at FB and its fake news and its coverup of same to know that many social posts are fake. Don't read or trust any of them.

dawnzy

Russian trolls and idiots that perpetuate their crappy memes. Don't believe anything you read on FB without verifying it independently, ever.

sharder8

To often you learn later that it's fake or highly embellished.

Obama made it legal to use psyops on our own populace as i recall
