Good thing army assault rifles aren’t available to the public...

The Left: The government is building and operating concentration camps!!! Also the Left: Only the government should have guns. 🙄

Your argument is invalid.

MSNBC has just accused Bernie of sapping Hillary's election. Yet here is direct footage of MSNBC saying Bernie was doing amazing events to try and help DEMS win. You guys are so lost right now. Your relevance is slipping.

So tell what gun doesn’t inflict harm, casualty, or death. Same is true with a knife, bat, car, or even a plane if your intend is to cause harm, casualty, or death. So are we going to out everything that can cause these things.

People want to own them for protection from invasion by foreigners OR a tyrannical government. That is why we have the 2nd amendment. Look at Hong Kong...those people have NO way to defend themselves!

Too bad almost no civilian has access to what closest could be called an assault rifle.

Ummm. The 2nd amendment was written so that citizens could protect themselves from a tyrannical GOVERNMENT!

... shall not be infringed. 335M people. 350M civilian guns. Under 30K used in crimes by murderers. More murders by knives than rifles+shotguns. Democrat's Murder Capitol Cities murder Americans at Mass-Murders/Hour rates. Democrats ignore b/c mass murders get them votes & $.

No idea who Anthony Brown is, but the 2nd amendment was created so we could protect ourselves from people who are pushing gun control.

AR 15s are not weapons of war.

Of course they are. Yet you can just buy one.

Every weapon ever invented was intended to cause as much harm as possible. And if I am defending my family, i would want to inflict as much death as humanly posible on the attacker. Why would you protect criminals and not law abiding citizens?

Perfect for home defense!

He must have been a cook

were did you find this pansy

Apparently that obvious fact has escaped the GOP and the NRA!

That man knows

If you need them for self defense, what army do you expect to attack you? It you need them for hunting then hunting isn't your thing. Try fishing! If you need to cuddle them for self esteem I suggest therapy.

Did he lose half his brain in service? Or is he just a typical expert liar? The AR round (.223) is on the left. The one on the right is from a WWII M-1 Garand.

GerardoG1963 That's why they were banned GOP ! On Sept. 13, 1994, President Bill Clinton (D) signed an assault weapons ban into law, t expired in September 2004. House majority (R) Senate majority (R) Presidency (R). Class dismissed.

Well Private Snowball (Anthony Brown) explain why America went from a .30-06 to a .223. Because he won’t answer, I will. Under NATO the powers that be wanted both sides to wound one another. A wound one take out three, killing only removes one. lies

About time! Ban them!

This guy is stupid he don't know anything

And by that measure, should not be in the hands of police officers as well. Demilitarize the police; there is no need for ANYONE outside an active war zone to have an assault rifle. Gun nuts, keep them in your vaults and nobody takes them away. It's that simple.

Lucky for us, we don't have assault weapons. We have sport rifles and home defense rifles.

As a black woman, I am disturbed that a black woman like Kamala is not electable based on the colour of her skin. Therefore Joe Biden is the anointed one

Humans are so despicable.... We are the only planet in the universe that harbours life... yet we come up with means to kill each other and any living thing.. in the most efficient way we can...

I suggest a purchase only for white males. To have at least one thing longer than African Americans.

The NRA and RUSSIABLICANS, make it easy for Losers, mentally unstable and those whos lives suck, use their Assault Weapons, kill mass people but that's ok to them, smdh

He's wrong, but entitled to his opinion.

OF COURSE THEY ARE!!!

'inflict as much harm and casualty and death as is humanly possible'? Trump promised sadists he will 'bring back waterboarding, and a hell of a lot worse' TerroristInChief said he can 'kill 10 million in a week' MAGAts love sado-fascists bait = inflict max pain + max kills.

A military vet thinks civilians shouldn't have semi autos 😂

BANNNN MASSACRE WEAPONS ARMY VETERAN STATES FACTS ASSAULT RIFLES MASSACRE WEAPONS DESIGNED TO INFLICT AS MUCH HARM DEATH AS IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE WHEN IN WAR NOTTT FOR PUBLIC SELF DEFENSE

And IED up armored vehicles and the rest of the combat armaments that local police have is needed to serve a warrant for parking tickets too. Riiiight Smh

Weapon of war- scary looking gun Were is the line? M-14, were made of wood and use a common hunting round. Yet used in war..

You talking stupido...self-defense may inflict as much harm and casualty and death as is humanly possible. Assault rifles aren’t for hunting.

More biased reporting from MSNBC

Being an army veteran doesn't mean you know jackshit about firearms. And if you think it does it's because you don't know jackshit about the army

Democrats rape girls. Dangerous.

2A.

The headline is true, except assault rifles aren’t available to civilians. ProveMeWrong

Army veteran Rep. Anthony Brown needs to define what he thinks an assault rifle is and exactly why they should not be used for self-defense.

Yes, and when the constitution was written, weapon of the day were single shot powder weapons! Now assault rifles are the norm to go shopping in stores, as with automatic shotguns, self defence does not start with weapons of war!

We're still not going to give up our guns no matter who says it. Nice try MSNBC. No one cares what you or whoever you push out there.

Yeah tbf you want the weapon you’re DEFENDING yourself with to inflict maximum damage and death.

I sure hope when I am forced to use my firearm it is lethal. I didn't buy it to shoot marshmallows and issue apologies every time I pull the trigger. I'm sure glad natural disasters and civil unrest are things of the past. Thanks Anthony!

Only in America can a random guy buy an Assault Rifle from Walmart

If the cops have them, then I need them, too. We're defending against the same evil people.

nikatnite00 1assault nounas·saultə-ˈsȯlt 1 a : a violent physical or verbal attack b : a military attack usually involving direct combat with enemy forces an assault on the enemy's air base c : a concerted effort (as to reach a goal or defeat an adversary) an assault on drug trafficking

Didn’t need him to tell us this.

What you people are trying to say on here is that you want all semi automatic firing guns band. That is the correct terminology you’re trying to use.

If you take an AR 15 out on the battlefield, you won’t last three minutes. Ask any marine if they’ll go out the battle today are 15 they will laugh at you. It is not meant for war

Violent crimes, murderers, and rapes are Decreasing and going down. Look it up. The Democrats are using a scare tactic.

These Wimps Likely never signed up for Military service...& certainly don’t have Assault style Mass Kill Weapons for “Self-Defense”...They have them to Boost their Deficient masculinity... a mindset that’ll be mighty hard to change⁉️ RepAnthonyBrown

So are hunting rifles, shotguns, and hand guns congressman.

What we have here is Democrat Cheerleaders pretending to be journalists.

I'm an Army veteran and I ask, 'what is the purpose of any firearm?' I'll tell you it's not to shoot and injure.

Not sure why, when your life is threatened (a.k.a. Self-defensive) that using a weapon to inflict as much harm and casual and death as is humanly possible is a bad idea.

Not really. There could be far deadlier firearms available to the public

Tell that to trump's gop white nationalists

NOT AN ASSAULT WEAPON !! Only the Military has them !! These are Semiautomatic facsimiles !! FOOL !! I need Real firepower to defend my family and way of life from Totalitarian Socialist takeovers !! There’s no 1st Amendment without the 2nd !!!

Is this news? How long was he away from home? Thanks for you service and making it back in one ☝️ piece, unfortunately others here at home didn’t quite enjoy that luxury!

He's wrong.

True story 5.56 mm NATO (.223) is designed to spall on impact. It becomes a saw for your insides and ricochets off off bones. People have been shot in the butt and the bullet exits their shoulder. Pistols are much better suited for defence due to range optimization

Another

As a $oldier who's used assault weapons, I can tell U that's a TRUE STATEMENT

This category of rifles patents clearly claims to deliver overwhelming fire suppression/superiority in a combat environment. Meaning-shoot at the enemy with lots of bullets while maintaining accurate aim to kill the opponents.

Its true 💁

Yeah, and people like him use them against heroes who defend their countries from US imperialist invasions.

Did you report your clear conflict of interests with Kamala Harris, yet? You know. The fact that her sister, Maya Harris works for you?

Kamala Harris hits back at NRA after group criticizes her gun control proposalsSen. Kamala Harris earlier this year said if elected president, she would take executive actions to ban the importation of AR-15-style weapons into the U.S. and expand background check requirements. Give them NOTHING! 'Well, no, of course he didn't pull the trigger, but he's certainly been tweeting out the ammunition.' So she points out he did not literally pull the trigger...but then says he has 'certainly been tweeting out the ammunition'...does she know that ammo cannot be made with tweets? What proposals?
