Good investment though when talk like this starts to rise. - - - Updated - - - I was thinking of the glock 19 though with the 17 you have only twelve less than a standard AR mag. - - - Updated - - - Ok, thanks.
TEC-9 with a 72 round drum magazine. If I remember correctly a TEC-9 was used by one of the Columbine shooters.
I did a study on this some years ago. About the time of the Ct. children killing. Found that it is the hand gun, not the semi automatic mostly used. I think it is the 9mm semi automatic pistol. But the Democrats aims are far more than semi automatics, it only starts there. I ask you to check into what CA has done over the years. First they start with something like the AR-15 and over time it boils down to all guns. CA is not the place to be if you are a member of NRA or are reasonable over guns.
Agreed...And those .223/5.56 rounds are proven very effective on varmints...4 legged, and 2 legged (terrorists).
And the male of the species is more suited for committing rape than the female of the species. What is your point?
No that is your list. Supposedly the manufacturer gives the uses which is what I am looking for just to see if it includes mass murders. - - - Updated - - - Sorry, that made no sense.
Just about anything can be used for illegal purposes. Computers come to mind....... oh... pressure cookers too, ask the people that were at the Boston bombing.
That's certainly true but it may not be necessary to make things too easy for terrorists or mass killers. We do limit for instance access to explosives.
So we shouldn't make it easy...... BAN the pressure cookers then. We do not limit access the components to make explosives. Anyone can by powder to make an IED. With somewhere between 350 MILLION and a half a BILLION firearms in America, it's already easy and it will remain easy unless the 2A is repealed or our government is ready to create a civil war.
You made the claim that firearms such as the AR-15 are well suited for illegal uses and purposes. Therefore a comparison was made, demonstrating that the male of the species is more suited for committing certain crimes than the female of the species, simply because of their physical design.
Bull Cookies, ever since Explosives were invented, People have often stolen them from their legitimate sources, high quality Commercial grade Explosives used in Construction projects and many Commercial applications where Explosives are needed, Quarries, Excavation sites etc......
Your Response is irrelevant to the discussion. Access to explsives is controlled. Doesn't mean they are notnavailable for legitimate uses.
The Orlando shooter reloaded many times, at least 7 times. But more to the point of your argument, he called 911, a reporter, a media producer, and his wife, and he texted his wife, during the 3 hour long rampage. All that time he spent occupied with his phone and nobody tackled him. But if you still believe that distracting the shooter saves lives, stop worrying about magazine size, you should want a law requiring all mass killers to have a phone.
Use your brain. Look around your house, garage, look around while you drive. Forget explosives like dynamite. Items that are actually explosives are everywhere. In fact if you actually think, you can come up with ways to cause a lot more damage and terror than you could ever do with any firearm.
True... I grew up in Belfast Ireland, living there in the 60's - early 80's; guns of any type were highly regulated, virtually illegal for the Catholics, and explosives of any type banned. There, explosives were by far the weapon of choice, over 10, 000 detonated between '69 and the 90's. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...e_Northern_Ireland_Troubles_and_peace_process
We were not discussing LEGITIMATE purposes here, We were talking about Criminals STEALING or otherwise illegally obtaining those so called "CONTROLLED" Explosives for Nefarious Machinations, those controls mean absolutely nothing to Criminals bent on committing crimes.
And common Petrol has been used to devastating effects ever since Vyacheslav Molotov invented his notorious libation !
Access to gun powder to make IEDs is not regulated. https://www.google.com/search?q=gun...isch&q=gunpowder+reload&imgrc=LeFyp6uGOH3NvM:
