    Shoot 6. Reload. shoot 6. 12 shots, under a minute. Banned.
    Read what he said.
    He wants to ban any weapon that can fire more than 10 rounds a minute.
    Said weapons need not have a magazine at all.

    Once you get the hang of freedom, you too will join us. Why blame me or other posters over what this nut case did to the crowd in LV? We did not pull the trigger.

    I don't think his objection is sound, as he made a claim that SCOTUS did something, that they did not do.

    Yes. As a seller, you CAN ship a firearm directly to a FFL in any state to facilitate the transfer to an out-of-state buyer. The post I originally responded to suggested that people from Chicago could drive to Indiana to purchase firearms in person, and then transport them back to Illinois themselves.

    Then, it will be better for all to wear an armored helmet.

    You see, we can't let Liberals make people believe that guns are less important than human life.

    no that would not be banned. i understood the argument to be a clip or magazine that holds more than 10?

    You would probably have told the hundreds killed or wounded in Las Vegas, "if you don't like bullets, stay out of their way."

    The permissiveness must stop. Far too many are paying too high a price for it.

    No court has ruled it to be unconstitutional to have to have a purchase permit, prior to purchasing a firearm. Which is why several states, including the conservative republican led state of NC where I reside, require purchase permits in order to purchase them.

    No they are not.

    The right to bear arms without intrusive government measures is still enshrined and must not change

    Oh look at you, conflating differing standards, hoping no one would notice.
    How intellectually dishonest of you.
    But then, that's all you have.

    Try taking in what are obviously gun cases next time and see what happens. Rifles are a specific profile, and super heavy. It's not likely that they would fit, in say, your purse, or rollo bag. Nor, likely would most folks be able to bear the weight plus that of the ammunition. Thinking that just "regular" luggage is the same is, well, superficial.

    I just have to ask, is there a reason that this tragedy has to fit inside of this narrative you're pushing today?

    Let me ask you this since you want to blame the innocent.

    Guy has this super fast Ferrari and hits 180 mph and hits a car.

    Is it your fault since you have a driver's license that he killed others?

    why the heck do Democrats blame the rest of us over some nutbag's killing spree??

    Camera phones have made it all such a "new world" even more than the internet sometimes (obviously kidding)

    But all of this first hand footage from disasters as they happen is absolutely fascinating to watch

    Or a crew served weapon. Do we know yet what type of weapon this was. I'm having a hard time visualizing an AK- 47.

    Knock it off, you are lying. I could quote Leviticus and Deuteronomy and use quotes that condemn homosexuality and say, "See the Bible teaches hate." I already told you that the prophets and the books they bought condemn this world and the wicked people of this world. This futile and tire spinning about the books says this, the book says that, means absolutely nothing at all to a man such as myself. I already told you, that neither of the books is for this world, the world of the wicked, and that they all condemn this world and the people of this world.

    Perhaps, but that makes the whole study hogwash anyway. No one is gonna tell the truth to a random phone pollster about guns they might have in the house. How do I know this "phone pollster" isn't really a bad guy sitting in my driveway trying to decide whether to kick in my door or not?

    Stefan Paddock had an absolutely clean record and there is no law in America, short of a government take away of all guns of any sort,
    that would have stopped this sociopath.

    Is this the "permissiveness" you squawk about?

    If they "serve their time", are "rehabilitated", and ready to become a productive and honest member of society, then why should they not have their rights reinstated?

    It is not possible to fire a semi auto weapon as fast as a full auto weapon. The mechanics of the firearms are very different.
