re: Biden promised at SOTU to “ban assault rifles and high-capacity weapons”

I thought that some of these were already banned.

It is just more lip service. There was a man arrested yesterday for this in Morgan City.

Investigators with the Morgan City Police Department Detectives Division began an investigation on March 06, 2024, when a Fully Automatic AR-15 Rifle was located at a local motel in the area of LA 182.

According to reports, Forrest William Sullivan was identified as the owner of the firearm. Sullivan had been incarcerated at the St. Mary Parish Law Enforcement Center due to a prior arrest by the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office since March 01, 2024.

Investigators were able to determine upon inspection of the firearm, that it had been modified, rendering the weapon fully automatic.

Reports indicate that investigators met with Mr. Sullivan at the St. Mary Parish Law Enforcement Center. Sullivan allegedly admitted to the AR-15 Rifle being his and that he modified the weapon which made the functionality of the firing mechanism to be fully automatic.

Research indicated that Mr. Sullivan was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to being convicted of Domestic Violence Offenses. Warrants were prepared for Sullivan's arrest.

Sullivan was booked on the charges and remains incarcerated at the St. Mary Parish Law Enforcement Center where he now awaits court proceedings.

Enforce the laws on the books instead of making new ones that cover the same issues.
