    This is like when you buy a book on Amazon, you're entered into a Homeland Security database ... but when you buy your full-combat military hardware, on a scale required before going into the Green Zone, on the internet ... nothing happens ...

    Going to the movies is now a Kill Zone.

    Just answer the question ... is Holmes a dumbass Lib for embarking on a massacre without modifying his AR-15 from civilian semi-auto to a military full-auto ?

    Or was he quite comforatable that his 100 round drum was sufficient ammunition/firepower with each squeeze of the trigger ?

    I say he wasn't so dumb ... he probably knew that a full-auto AR-15 has a higher jam-rate than semi-auto ...

    This is an unsupportable assertion. The second amendment was meant to guarantee that citizens would not be stripped of their power to resist tyranny. There's nothing patriotic about stripping the right of the people to keep the means of resistance at their disposal. Apparently, to Sanjay, it's patriotic to leave guns only on in the hands of the state enforcers, who, apparently, being gifted with magical badges, will use them wisely and with restraint and only when government orders are righteous and just.

    There is a cost to liberty, and the liberal progressives would rather we submit to the depredations of the state, which kills far more innocent and peaceful people every day than lone gunmen ever will, than to pay the price to remain free.

    That is funny. 100 round magazines don't exist on battlefields for AR-15s, for semi auto or automatic.

    'Probably', go and find out and get your facts correct before we can discuss. I see a lot of that from you, not getting your facts right.

    That is funny. I have been to the green zone. We don't wear that stuff, heck I didn't even carry a gun.

    I see ... so you're admitting that you're getting pwn'd because you don't know the (weaponary & geo) logistics concerning kill-rate or body-count between civilian or battefield warfare ... like there's a difference ...

    Not a peep out of the Left over the bloodshed in Chicago, but now all of a sudden, they need to ban guns. Pathetic.

    Are you sure I was a clerk? You seem to guess a lot, then base some opinions on your guesses.

    If you want to talk about battlefield weapons at a movie theatre that is like talking about warp drive engines. They don't exist.

    If you want to talk about the body count/difference, maybe you should go off and find out what is this difference before you form an opinion about it, instead of guess about it.

    I am guessing ... this was evident in my posts ...

    This irritates you ... so school us ... especially with your expertise on how we as civilians can protect ourselves in close-quarter combat where unarmed civilians have to go up against military-grade armed massacring Libs & OWS'rs pretending they're full-combat Zimmerman's ... such as the ridiculoussness of hiding behind a theatre seat in thinking it will stop a high-velocity .223 ... or run like hell to a door where that would be a crap-shoot for said massacring Liberal Zimmerman's ...

    Using patriotism as a reason to do something is pretty asinine.

    Making a major policy change should be only based on 2 things:

    1) a high likelihood of success at attaining your goal

    2) a respect for constitutional rights

    Here is another idiot who thinks semi-auto AR-15s are used on battlefields:

    http://news.yahoo.com/seinfeld-star-jumps-assault-weapon-debate-152458549--abc-news-politics.html

    To solidify his idiot standing he talks about militas and gun ownership.

    I agree with his view on "absolutists", but other than that, I get the impression he doesn't know much about guns.

    People hear words like "assault rifle" or "military weapon" and freak out.

    The only ban I can somewhat sympathize with is the one on automatic weapons, but again, it's not that hard to modify most semi-auto weapons to be full auto. So that ban is very limited in its usefulness as well.

    Unbelievable. No respect for the Constitution whatsoever. This is the same OP that thinks data mining by the government is a good thing (http://www.politicalforum.com/current-events/257686-data-mining-can-help-immediately.html). Just imagine what this country would become if these people get their way. It would be something straight out of Orwell's 1984.

    I recommend that everyone who cares about our Constitution and freedom join the NRA.

    If you can't spare $35 a year to help a very effective organization stand up for freedom, then I don't know what to tell you.

    What the heck is military grade?

    Who talks like that? I guess the same people who think shaving a firing pin will make it full auto.

    I am not an expert on being an unarmed civilian, that would be stupid to try something like that, but if you were unarmed I would recommend that you get on the floor and beg for your life. I don't do that.

    The second amendment is in the Constitution to guarantee the citizens the right to overthrow a tyrannical Government (Obama) should one ever get in power. What part of that don't you understand? Bear in mind it pertains to liberals too in case a conservative Government decides to do the same. Are you willing to give up that right, considering the next President and Congress will be Republican?

    I see ... no, you didn't see combat ... and it seems you weren't in logistical support either ... I'd say you were a convoy driver or in some kind of supply-support ... maybe got fired-on from time to time ... but no, I don't think you saw any combat ...

    Huffpo once again aligns itself with Marxist and statist elitists to try to control thru government action and unconstitutional legislation to limit our liberty and freedom. Our being armed prevents a police state or a military dictatorship, which Huffpo leftist losers would prefer. If there had been legally armed people in that theater, there would have been fewer deaths of innocents and the additional death of a demented loser.

    How dare leftist losers question and demean someones military service! That is the most despicable act that any one can say toward a real American who served his or her country. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should apologize instantly.
