You are twice as likely to be murdered by a hammer than by a rifle in the US. You are 10,000% more likely to be killed in a car crash than be killed by a rifle in the US. The problem is illegal handguns and bad drivers, not legally owned rifles.

Why is Obama targeting legally owned rifles, instead of illegal handguns and bad drivers?

They’ve got to start with the spectacular looking stuff to get the sheeple really scared. Then, when the inner city problems don’t abate, they can come back and demand to ban even more.
Have a look at this old fool. Picture from a media photo-op to rile up the public. Finger on trigger …

No legally owned fully-automatic weapon has ever been used in a violent crime in the US
Most automatics were not banned until 1927. Ample evidence exists of violent crimes committed with automatics prior to Jan 1, 1927.

What a dumb comment
This is what he has to say …
I guess that means “open carry” would be preferable? Not really. They are against “any carry”. Any guns. Only the police and military should have guns.
Kelly is likely a future NYC mayor, and maybe even Governor. By the way, this scumbag is nominally an (R). Up here in the parasitic welfare states of the Northeast that means a liberal anywhere else, while our actual (D) Liberals are pretty much Communists. Hardcore Constitutionalists have been warning for years that the leftists will never stop. Even Supreme Court rulings and Constitutional Amendments are just speedbumps that they ignore. They will not stop until America is at parity with Euro-Socialist Neo-Communism or when we are at Civil War. They are daring us to take the latter.
Because illegally owned handguns and bad drivers are not a threat to the state.
