In Texas and Ohio where two mass shootings occurred last weekend, military-style assault rifles and large capacity magazines are legal.
In fact, as Statista’s Niall McCarthy notes, in both shootings, the weapons used were acquired legally.
The vast majority of U.S. states do not restrict the sale of military-style weapons and only six states and the District of Columbia have banned them, according to the New York Times.

When it comes to large capacity magazines capable of holding up to 100 rounds, only eight states and the District of Columbia have restrictions in place.
In the states where the two mass shootings occurred, carrying rifles in public is also allowed. Once again, a mere six states and D.C. prohibit openly carrying rifles in public.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

There is no such thing as a “military style weapon”. That is a political term. There is only a military weapon or a civilian weapon.
one is for fighting and one is for fun

By “High Capacity Magazines” you actually mean “Standard Capacity Magazines,” correct?
Colorado limits magazines to 15 rounds now post FF Aurora theater. To gun grabbers anything greater than a single round capacity is high capacity.
