    And You think they would just waltz in and slay their own people?

    the only way these changes can be implemented this through a session with Congress where they vote to pass a bill and the president signs it into long and it passes judicial review.

    That hasn't happened since 1787.

    Well then talk to your mayor or governor and get some laws passed.

    Good luck!

    p.s. will be funny seeing cops carrying revolvers again.

    Very accurate though

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_culture_in_the_United_States

    To be honest most of us just do not understand why you put up with the horrific morbidity and mortality rates

    I mean 2.8 BILLION per year on gun related injuries???? And you complain about the cost of health care??

    You are in a civilian arms race

    Be nice to reduce the armaments of the criminals would it not?

    Making them illegal would do nothing. Criminals get their guns mostly from corrupt gun dealers.

    Now, I personally do not consider semi-auto rifles of any use for civilians. They are too bulk for effect home defense, a pistol is much more effective, and really, you get better results hunting with a bolt action, which is often more powerful.

    But let's not pretend making semi-auto weapons illegal for magically stop all illegal gun deals.

    Ask the dead at Kent State.
    Or those flattened by the Guard during the race riots of the '60's
    Or the Branch Davidians

    Think about how many current Guard members actually practiced live-fire urban pacification and house to house sweeps of civilian neighborhoods in Iraq after being called up to active duty by Bush II

    Think seriously about that, and then you tell me - would they?

    No, but Obama probably gets a royalty check from all the manufacturers for his tough talk and salesmanship. Gun ownership skyrocketed while the Bozo-in-Chief was in office. :roflol:

    The absolute fastest way to accomplish that, and to get the gun fetishists to applaud it, will be to encourage blacks and hispanics to assert their 2nd Amendment rights as aggressively as the white NRA crowd. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING scares a red-blooded caucasian ammosexual like a scary black man with a military-looking rifle walking down Main Street.

    we're not talking about controlling no riots or letting a Cult burn themselves alive. We are talking about all out war against the populous.

    across our entire nation they don't have the Manpower.

    We're actually talking about no-knock warrants and the same tactics and personnel currently fighting the 'war on drugs.' There will be no front line or organized army, there will be people getting their doors knocked in at 3am, or arrested at their job while a search warrant is served on their house and vehicle, and their money and property seized through civil forfeiture. Any thoughts of a 'revolution against tyranny' is nothing but mental masturbation by ammosexuals with little to no grip on reality. The ones who refuse to comply with the law will be arrested and imprisoned, or die resisting arrest. The existing civilian police structures are far too entrenched and well armed for it to turn out otherwise.

    Good luck with that. Even the SWAT teams will be looking for other jobs.

    A good sounding solution, yet not one which will have any serious impact on gun violence, of which the vast, vast majority is committed with pistols which are indeed legal in most of the world including Australia.

    As far as the semi-automatic debate goes I think it's misleading to compare the US to Australia, much more accurate to compare NZ to Australia, as NZ still has legally obtainable semi-automatic rifles, with obvious licensing, for 3 gun sports.

    That is all I've ever wanted as an Australian. The rest of the yank firearm laws are largely unique to their political history. All I want is some sort of legal pathway to responsible gun ownership including semi-automatics.

    Something the no-nothing gun-o-phobes haven't considered is that almost every shotgun is a semi-automatic, capable of holding at least 5 rounds.Their ignorance of firearms is boundless.

    I own a pump action 22LR rifle that holds 10 rounds. In gun terrified Australia.

    Great little gun, perfect for varmint hunting. No need to cycle a bolt.

    Which is a small percentage of all murders. Why are mass murders worse?
