Image copyrightAFP/GETTY IMAGESImage captionStudents have returned to the site of one of America's worst ever mass shootings for a half day of classesAs students at the Florida school where 17 people were recently killed returned to classes, a major gun retailer has announced it will stop selling the kind of weapon used in the attack.
Dick's Sporting Goods, which has more than 600 shops, said it would no longer sell assault-style rifles, and backed "common sense gun reform".
The move came as pupils and teachers made an emotional return to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Grief counsellors were on hand.
In the aftermath of the 14 February shooting, pressure has mounted on US politicians to act on gun control and for corporations to cut ties with the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA).
Firms including Hertz car rental, United airlines and Delta airlines have ended discounts to NRA members.
Dick's Sporting Goods announcement also came as Florida lawmakers proposed a package of gun control measures, including a controversial bill to arm school staff, including teachers.

"We have tremendous respect and admiration for the students organising and making their voices heard regarding gun violence in schools and elsewhere in our country," Dick's Sporting Goods said in a statement. "We have heard you. The nation has heard you."
The retailer said it was committing itself to:

• No longer selling assault-style rifles (The company had stopped selling such weapons after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting but 35 shops run by a subsidiary had continued to do so.)
• Banning the sale of high-capacity magazines that allow more shots to be fired without reloading
• Not selling firearms to anyone under the age of 21

Dick's...Could you make this shit up?...

[david44]

Yes and excuse the typo, though until no supplier is available the clients will go elsewhere.

Can any of our pro gun members explain why anyone outside the military would need an assualt rifle unless for an assualt.

A hand gun for self defence is understandable in a nation full of maniacs with assault rifles perhaps?

Once assault rifle are barred, amnesty recall and then huge penalties , life etc for illegal possession we may begin to see the scale of such murder decrease. Sure you can kill with a rifle, a carving knife, nuclear bomb or poison but it always seems to be some crazy lone white dick, few seem to have a stable partner and from some reports are on meds which should be a reason to cancel a firearms certificate or whatever term is in USA.

The sickness in USA is that no presidential candidate will take on the NRA and although a few kids protest for a few days it's less disruptive than a few French Farmers who usually blockade Brussels Paris with Lorry loads of shit , block all the roads etc over the price of snail substitute etc

It's not just the NRA though. Even though gun nuts are a minority, they are a sizable minority of loud mouthed, tiny dicked idiots.

Can you explain to me the difference between an assault rifle and any other,other than the appearance?

Yes, but you're too stupid to understand it and will probably try posting shite from the NRA to try and back up your lame argument.

Added:

An Assault rifle is a military weapon semi- or fully-automatic, designed to kill people.

An Assault rifle (civilian version) is a lookalike, usually semi-automatic, so that chimps with tiny dicks can try and pretend that they are man enough to be soldiers, when they're usually just stupid, flabby twats.

Think that about covers it.

Don't bring a handgun to an assault rifle fight?
