I led the fight to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in 1994. For the ten years it was in place, mass shootings went down. I am determined to ban assault weapons once again.

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden Lol you let them take “some” guns you open the door for them to take all guns. History is a good teacher.

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden Kim I appreciate that you are a gun owner so I feel like actual dialog is possible with you. Have you seen the bullet that goes in an AR15? It is like 55 grains it's not a big scary gun. So do you own a gun but never go to the range like you do have knowledge of firearms?

@MizLisaEl @theprism89 @JoeBiden Hi Lisa, yes I do go to the range. But no I don’t have a lot of knowledge about guns. However I’m impressed that you do.

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden Why? All rifles together - let alone just ARs and AKs - aren't used as much as handguns.

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden AK and AR platform rifles are not any more dangerous than any other. Why do you feel this way?

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden What's a sensible gun law that abides to the second?

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden So, are you going to start with all the bangers in the hood ? I legally have 8 AR's and many other guns. I can natch a quarter at 300 yards with my 7mm mag. None of them have been used in a drive by or used to commit a crime.

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden How about no. There are rifles that are far more damaging than those tiny tot rifles. They use some of the smallest rounds. The bullet in an ar15 is smaller than a 9mm pistol.

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden Why those specifically?

@KimWats45539037 @theprism89 @JoeBiden No animus intended here: One of my jobs in the Army was as the unit Armorer. Which meant I had to know everything about every weapon we had. & we had a lot. The AR-15 was NOT amongst theml. While the M-16 uses the same ammo, it's FAR from being the primary weapon. 1/2
