There is only one reason to have high-capacity magazines and that is if we are at war and the enemy is in our front yard. Further, we do not need fully automatic weapons. The military with regards to rifles uses semi-auto over 97% @threadreaderapp UNROLL
of the time, auto burns too much ammunition. Semi-automatic weapons have been used by civilians for over a 100 years. The first mass shooting I member were done by people with bolt action rifles acting as snipers and illegally obtained weapons.
Now we have to with AR-15 type weapons that use the .223 AKA 5.56mm X 45mm. these shells fire a lite weight high-velocity bullet that has radically tumbles in the body and deflects easily and produce a low recoil for the shooter.
What means is it can be used for rapid-fire much more so than other semi-auto rifles and it is quick to re-aim the weapon. The .223 should be used by the public and should be replaced as a military round. @threadreaderapp unroll

Biden Announces Gun Control Executive Actions, Says Second Amendment Not ‘Absolute’ news.yahoo.com/biden-announce… via @Yahoo
These executive orders will not address gun violence in fact we need to address violence in the nation as a whole. People are the @threadreaderapp unroll
problem. Do people really think that taking guns away will stop violence? It will not. What would come next, bows and arrows, spears, axes, swords, knives, clubs, rocks, or maybe even our hands? We have an angry nation that is filled with hate, stress, and uncertainty.
You can not stop violence by taking weapons you have to address the real problem. We have mental health issues and that needs to be addressed vigorously and it is the pink elephant in the room.
1st we know Trump (w/19K+ lies) and his Admin lie about most things, so it is easy to figure they are lying about when they knew about the Russian bounty on US and Allied Troops. We have to face the fact that we have a @threadreaderapp unroll
weak and corrupt President and Admin. As for what to do about this? Burn the Taliban poppy fields, hunt down anyone involved in this bounty program tried and executed assuming they are guilty.
Put Russia on an enemies list and accept the fact that we are in a de-facto war with Russia. Russia has tampered with our elections, actively interfered in US interest and security with the assistance of Trump, Trump's Administration, and his cronies.
