adam lanza used an assault rifle

How many must end up being used for crime before we do something? Other nations are much more restrictive about their ownership and use, with the result being that people who want to go hunting or target shooting with them get to do so while gun homicides and suicides are kept down to a much lower rate than ours.

 

Eric Holder aside, how do we get all of these guns off the streets?

 

More people are killed in cars every year. How many must end up being killed before we do something?

 

that's a ridiculous argument

motor vehicles are necessary for transportation and they save countless lives

this report seems to make it quite clear

Connecticut school shooter used assault rifle, had many bullets

NEWTOWN, Conn. – School shooter Adam Lanza carried hundreds of bullets when he shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and used an assault rifle to do most of the killing, authorities confirmed Sunday.

Lanza, 20, fired a Bushmaster .223 semiautomatic rifle to kill many of the 20 children and six adults at the school Friday, Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance said. He used a Glock 10-millimeter handgun to shoot himself in the head. He also carried at Sig Sauer pistol. A shotgun, the type of which was not identified, was found in the trunk of Lanza’s car outside the school.

“The Bushmaster was used in the school, in its entirety, and [a] handgun was used to take his own life,” Vance said.

that's probably going to change

 

that's a ridiculous argument

guns are necessary for self protection and they save countless lives

 

what a joke

the evidence doesn't support the conclusion which is an opinion

 

But it looks so scary it just has to be very bbbbaaaddd!!!!! And it's semi-automatic!!! Look at that clip. It's so long and angry! It has an evil eye on it that allows the shooter to zero in on his target. Plus it's black!!! It's way too evil for people to have.

Now this is an assault weapon = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOoUVeyaY_8

 

the issue isn't looks, it's the extended rapid-fire capability which makes possible, assaults that can kill lots of people very quickly

 

you're not getting it, hand guns may have a place as defensive weapons

assault rifles don't, except in military combat

 

those magazines should probably be banned for civilians

 

Jefferson said, "The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. "

In progressive gun control land, the citizen is the enemy and must be controlled.

 

because of its potential for abuse

there's talk of banning magazines that hold more than ten rounds

that sounds reasonable to me

 

Gosh, there is a lot of "potential for abuse" sitting around your house. How can we trust you, a law abiding citizen, not to stab your family to death with knives or a club them with a baseball bat or run them over with your car?

 

Dujac's arguments are not rational. The response to this is not a rational response but an emotional one most often based on lack of any knowledge of what they are talking about.

 

no, i'm say other guns can be used for defense

the assault rifle's potential for abuse makes it dangerous

as the recent shooting clearly demonstrates

no there's not, quit being ridiculous

you're completely wrong again and there's nothing emotional in my responses

 

Then it is sheer ignorance at work.

 

you're projecting again

 

LOL, if you knew what you were talking about then someone might pay attention.
