    ok, finally something to get our teeth into. Since you are nowhere familiar with the ghettos and gangster over here, just how do you propose to get them away form those people? Disarming the rest of us will only give MS-13 more targets..............
    you mean like Hillary and Barry?
    Wonder why they don't want their lies exposed via the press..........

    Do not assume that my country of origin or residence is the united states, simply because I do not lend my support to your position.

    What dismantling are you referring to in this case?

    The reason it is "Americans" is because the crooks have not been disarmed.
    Sometimes seconds are the difference between life and death.

    I'm familiar with all types of firearm storage.
    You trying to school me on my profession is like me trying to tell you how to care for ER patients. If I tried to do that you wouldn't give much credit to my ideas, would you?

    I got news for you. Trying to disarm Americans will turn a large portion of the country into criminals. It would be a blood bath. Better to mind your own business.

    Not likely. Connecticut is their test ground and the overwhelming resistance has left them quiet.

    a few have turned them in, but a great many went into attics, basements, the river (lol) or the residents are outright ignoring the law

    Not based on FBI statistics....

    Rifles (of all types, including "assault rifles") made up only about 2.3% of murder weapons. People using bare hands were responsible for about 6% of murders.......

    Did you even read your own graph, and compare it to what alakazam said?

    The first clause in the first sentence was almost correct. In early 2013, 58% of the people were in favor of stricter gun control ( a bit lower than the 62% that al claimed, but he might have meant a different poll). However, the second clause is wrong. It has changed. It's at 47% in 2015. Al is just wrong.

    Washington, DC? Do you mean the Navy Yard shooting which was done by Joe Biden's favorite weapon, the shotgun?

    Denver? What happened in Denver?

    Columbine involved a wide variety of weapons--they used 4 guns--2 of which could be considered "assault weapons" (neither were AK-47s or AR15s, though) the other 2 were sporting weapons (aka pump shotguns).

    What army base shooting?

    One nine millimeter carbine, one nine millimeter handgun, two twelve gauge sawed off shotguns, various knives, and ninety five improvised explosive devices. Numerous federal laws were broken in the course of their actions.

    boy..............those laws sure showed him, eh? I mean, like, it should have stopped him, right? But let's not forget the invitation from the school to come visit, unimpeded. But wait!!! Those guns must have come alive on their own....yeah. They're to blame.
    I figure since the grabbers are blaming the guns, maybe they should have arrested those guns, and had a trial. The crusher upon convictions and unlimited number of appeals. Hey, a groove test just might exonerate the gun................jes saying

    The 9mm carbine ( a High-point carbine that had only 10 rd magazines) and the 9mm handgun (a Tec-9) are what could be considered assault weapons.

    Perhaps moving to the UK would suit you.

    Recently, the UK police have told the UK 'subjects' (citizens, here) that anyone owning anything more powerful than a rape whistle to defend themselves is illegal. They even have said that spraying a dye on their rapists and muggers to help police to identify them later would be illegal, if you weren't careful to not harm them when you spray them. Even in the privacy of their own homes, the UK subjects cannot legally do any harm their attackers.

    Sounds like the sort of utopia you are looking for, huh?

    Considered as "assault weapons" by whom? It's this kind of thinking that has led to the ridiculous thinking we see described in the UK. Do I really need to drag you through the technical definition of "assault weapon" again?

    With the legal ambiguity of the term, nearly anything can be considered a so-called "assault weapon" due to vague standards. The state of California considered single-shot rifles to be so-called "assault weapons" based exclusively on caliber.

    Well, I'm using the layman definition not the technical one. Regardless they did most of the damage with Joe Biden's favorite, the shotgun.

    Please give us an answer, oh wise alakazam. How many "assault rifles" are used in crime? I gave an answer already. I'm waiting for yours.

    You are again showing your ignorance. The Assault Weapons Ban (which is what you would actually like to bring back) is not the Brady Law. The Brady law is still under effect--it is the one that requires a background check, and is the law that brought about the NICS. This is why I get so incensed about gun control people like yourself. You aren't even aware of what laws really mean, yet you want them passed.

    Anyway, assault type weapons are responsible for only about 1% of the crime in the U.S. Banning them will do little or nothing to stop crime. Since the AWB (assault weapons ban) expired, we have had 11 years of relatively low gun violence.

    The polls say that an increasing number of people are for less gun control.

    You have no idea what I know or don't know about assault weapons or my intelligence. I could give you my resume complete with education and military history, but everyone on the internet is a former Navy Seal. I actually prefer my pistols or a pump action shotgun for defense, but they are no less deadly in a defensive scenario and easier to operate for my family. If someone has a history of carrying an M-16 in the military or extensive training or experience with an assault style rifle, it makes perfect sense to use one to protect yourself. I have to go to my kid's ballgame, so I'll finish later if needed.

    So you are confirming that you are talking out of your ass, and have no idea how low the percentage is of crime done by "assault rifles."

    The Sandy Hook kids were victims of the mental health system that didn't put Lanza in a mental hospital in the month before the shooting. Part of the reason that Lanza killed his mother is because she was trying to get him committed to a mental hospital. If that process had been more streamlined, that dangerous psychopath would right now be alive and well in a mental hospital, and his mother and those kids would be alive.
