St. Petersburg wants to pretend HB45 didn’t pass
Two City Council members say enough is enough. They want the city to take some kind of action — even if it's just symbolic — to address the intertwined problems of crime and gun violence. City Council member Steve Kornell said he hopes to get the debate started at the June 6 council meeting. One of his proposals will be for the council to ask for reinstatement of the federal Assault Weapons Ban, which outlawed the sale of guns like AR-15 and AK-47 semi-automatic rifles until it expired in 2004.

The amount of fail in that 2nd paragraph is so densely packed that it threatens to fall beneath its own Schwarzschild radius and create a black hole of stupidity. One, the were not outlawed, two they were never a problem, and three, none of the officers that were killed last year (the reason this dingleberry is opening his soup cooler in the first place) were killed with either.
This is more “talking points”, spouted off by the same idiots who can’t think past the next election cycle. He even admits “we have to do SOMETHING even if it really is doing NOTHING!!!”.
And this is what we continue to elect? No wonder we’re boned.
Anyway, they should pass it. The lawsuits will be phenomenal.
