Your implicit urgent call for banning “assault rifles” has no basis in factual data. How about some data from the FBI.
The most recent FBI stats from 2019 show that out of 10,258 firearm homicides, only 364 homicides are attributable to rifles. Knives and other “cutting tools” accounted for 1,476 deaths.

When has a Democrat every been interested in facts, Brian?
Rep DeLaney..would you please define specifically what is your definition of an “assault weapon”. Is the look of the weapon, the design, the caliber, the capacity, the make, the model, the color or what? Your broad use of the term attempts to define how it is used not what it is. This makes no sense since every weapon from slingshots to hand grenades can be used to injure people. As an attorney and legislator you should be very aware that “details matter”.
I find this article disturbing in it gross generalizations and assumptions. And, while stating that he wants to look at the Red Flag law as a “litmus test”, he spends very little effort before making his immediate turn to blaming the gun.
We aren’t sure what type as Gary points out. Many things can be used as assault weapons as Brian points out.
My primary concern is the turning of the language since the other commenting gentlemen have covered the other two issues very well. So, my attention turns to this sinister sounding “culture of the gun”. While making it sound like a cult, the congressman ignores that the gun culture is the American culture. It is a foundational right. It was #2 of the amendments required to get this constitution accepted by the states. But, it appears that the Congressman feels this culture makes things “out of balance”. If he feels it does, how does he plan to live up to his oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
