The shootings in Maine bring the total of mass shootings in the USA to 565 so far this year.

I saw a Democrat Congressman on tv this morning stating that something has to be done to stop such killings by people using automatic & semi-automatic weapons & people are crying out for action on ordinary people being able to get their hands on assault rifles. 

 

Well there's a Democrat in the White House & as far as I know, he, as well as all previous US Presidents could sign an Executive Order today to prevent sales of high caliber assault rifles. 

 

Those who want guns could still have hand guns so they could still have their constitutional nonsense & have 'The right bear arms.'

Signed March 2023:

An EO is an instruction to government departments under executive branch control, it is not law and cannot contravene existing law.

 

Sales of high caliber assault rifles are legal, the only way that can change is via Congress.

Well if President after President, both Democrat & Republican are happy to let the average US citizen go & buy military grade weaponry, then the killings will continue.

 

You imply parity, where none exists.
