Assault rifles are already illegal. An AR-15 isn’t an assault rifle. And it’s sad that Democratic lawmakers are still so ignorant.

In Tallahassee, Florida lawmakers grapple with addressing mass shootings in the state’s schools.
On Monday, a state Senate committee voted down gun control amendments to a sweeping school safety bill. Republicans on the committee rejected an assault weapons ban and left in place a provision that would allow teachers to carry firearms on campus, the Sun Sentinel reported.
Democrats’ effort to attach an assault rifle ban to the bill failed by a 7-6 vote.
The legislation, which passes through another committee on Tuesday, would ban firearm sales to anyone younger than 21 and require a 3-day waiting period for purchases, requirements currently in place for handguns only.
Law enforcement officers and members of the military would be exempted from the age requirements.
