Absolutely. If the weapon was banned, he could have shot all those people with a six-shooter! Or thrown knives and killed 60 people. I mean really, what does an automatic weapon have to do with it, you idiot?!
An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

While outlawing "legal" modifications like the bump stock is not a bad idea, outlawing the bump stock will not change the mind of someone who is hell bent on killing...see Timothy McVeigh.

"The Mulford Act was a 1967 California bill that repealed a law allowing public carrying of loaded firearms. Named after Republican assemblyman Don Mulford, the bill was crafted in response to members of the Black Panther Party who were conducting armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods while they were conducting what would later be termed copwatching.[1] They garnered national attention after the Black Panthers marched bearing arms upon the California State Capitol to protest the bill.[2][3][4]"

Argumentum ad celebritum. Empty talking points don't become persuasive arguments when uttered by Hollywood stars. But in the bizarre land of the celebrity cult, late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel has been suddenly anointed "America's conscience" and "voice of reason."
Kimmel railed "intensely" on TV Monday night against politicians doing "nothing" to stop mass gun violence. Sobbing and emotional, he insisted, "there's a lot of things we can do about it." Yet, Kimmel acknowledged that Mandalay Bay gunman Stephen Paddock had passed multiple, mandated background checks and had no criminal history. Moreover, Paddock bought his guns legally from Nevada and Utah gun shops subject to a thicket of local, state and federal rules -- and reportedly carried 23 of his weapons into a casino/hotel that already operates as a gun-free zone.
Federal studies show that a measly 1 to 3 percent of all guns are purchased at gun shows, but that didn't stop Kimmel from tossing around non sequiturs attacking the "gun show loophole." It's a mythical exemption in federal law for private weapons sales at gun shows or online intended to drum up hysteria about unregulated gun sales. In reality, firearms purchased through federally licensed firearms dealers at gun shops, shows, garage sales or anywhere else are subject to all the usual checks and restrictions. Only a narrow category of same-state transactions between private individuals not engaged in the commercial business of selling firearms (family members or collectors, for example) are unaffected by those regulations.

Hey Bozo, Do they let black adult male prisoners buy guns?

I guess you didn't pay attention to the 50 lbs of explosives he had.

Purposely sending guns to Mexico is illegal, especially when you are an incompetent, lawless bastard
It appears you know little enough about this that you have become a targeted fool for falsehoods.

I know enough about it to know it killed Mexicans and Americans. What else do we need to know?
This might help you educate yourself.
Not very anti gun now, is it.
Terry’s death exposed Operation Fast and Furious, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) operation in which the federal government allowed criminals to buy guns in Phoenix-area shops with the intention of tracking them as they were transported into Mexico. But the agency lost track of more than 1,400 of the 2,000 guns they allowed smugglers to buy. Two of those guns were found at the scene of Terry's killing.

You mean the Glock I bought 25 years ago and has been disassembled for several years. The reasons I bought it make no sense to me now and I was younger then.
