Guns wank and pump a lot of these guys. I suppose, it you're a 95 lb. weakling ...

I had forgotten but the biggest gun freak in my high school year was (probably still is) the class's skimpiest rubber neck geek. It's true, folks. You CAN buy manhood at a hardware store.

look it up

"Jeh Johnson ( the head of the DHS): Gun control is now a matter of homeland security"
right from the folks who gave OMAR his approval for his guns
yet another created terrorist from the FBI CIA DHS alphabetards
Jeh Johnson: Gun control is now a matter of homeland security - CBS News

just like prewar jermany where they took the jews guns AND KNIVES away
look what happened after that
"The 1938 Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons, promulgated the day after Kristallnacht, effectively deprived all Jews living under the Third Reich of the right to possess any form of weapons including truncheons, knives, or firearms and ammunition.[11] Before that, some police forces used the pre-existing "trustworthiness" clause to disarm Jews on the basis that "the Jewish population 'cannot be regarded as trustworthy'"."

GUN and KNIFE control = Holocaust support

I keep seeing this bone-head analogy. Sharp stuff can kill. AR-15s can kill, therefore they are just the same and therefore restrict sharp stuff or do nothing. A Burserker with a razor-sharp Claymore couldn't have done a fraction of the damage that "Buffalo Bill" did down in Orlando in what ... an hour at the most?

"One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong"

Were you guys locked in cupboards when they did that segment on Sesame street?

Dear Bonehead,

While I understand that your intellectual capacity is extremely limited, I am quite willing to ignore your handicap and explain a number of things to you. I'll try to keep it as simple as possible.

1. The horror in Orlando Florida was a terrorist attack. The weapon is unimportant. The motive is important.

2. Terrorists can and will get weapons anywhere. Strict gun control has saved no one from Daesh in Paris, now has it?

3. A can of gasoline followed by a match would have achieved the same thing, and has done so, many times.

4. I'm 61 years old. But let me say that, if you would like to come explain to me to my face that I am not really a man because I happen to appreciate the freedom to own dangerous weapons, please feel free to PM me for my address. I won't hold my breath.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Yours Sincerely, Colpy

Ban assault weapons now: Our view

A common thread links the mass slaughters of first-graders in Newtown, Conn., of county workers in San Bernardino, Calif., and of nightclub patrons in Orlando: The killers used assault-style weapons that are efficient machines of murder.

Such weapons are accurate and quick, firing with just the twitch of a finger, perfect for mowing down human beings, particularly if equipped with high-capacity magazines. They have become the weapon of choice of people intent on mayhem, most recently Omar Mateen in Orlando, who brought an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle to the packed nightclub where he killed 49 and wounded 53 early Sunday.

Conveniently for aspiring mass killers, such weapons are easy to buy legally in most states. Which is one reason that after just about every mass shooting, there are calls for a national ban on this style of weapon, originally designed for war. And to outlaw the high-capacity magazines, with more than 10 rounds, that help make them so deadly.

Would these bans prevent all mass shootings? Of course not. Are they a substitute for doing everything possible to identify and thwart would-be Islamic terrorists? No. Would the bans save lives and make it harder to carry out mass murder? Yes. And that alone makes them worth doing.

Assault weapons were banned once before, for a decade starting in 1994. Law-abiding citizens were still able to defend themselves. Hunters were still able to hunt. Mass shootings did not end, but two studies suggest that the law helped by gradually reducing the number of assault weapons used in crimes.

While assault weapons equipped with high-capacity magazines are used in only a small percentage of crimes, holding down the size of magazines could save lives, Johns Hopkins' researchers reported in 2012. Even if the ban eventually prevented only 20% of those incidents, that would translate into 100 fewer homicides and 500 fewer people wounded by gunshots per year.

The 1994 law might have been even more successful had it been crafted more strictly. But gun makers are adept at finding legal loopholes, and this was no exception. They tweaked their products and sold the revised version legally.

First you have to get rid of this:


A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.


Good luck with that, you'll need it.

Maybe that radical in France would have killed 80 instead of two had he been properly armed with the right carbine. It's tough to commit nass murder with steak knives.

Actually, didn't that happen in China in the last year or
two? I vaguely remember something about that but
I think there was more than one wingnut using
Assault Cutlery, but the body count was very high, &
the wounded was higher from what I recall...

I would find it refreshing to hear the gun advocates say something like: Holy crap, we gotta figure out a way to make it harder for crazy people to get guns.

That's pretty much all that I want.

There are also certain catagories of firearms that should be strictly limited to only military and security professional use ... in my opinion, anyway.

It wasn't the box cutters that killed thousands. It was the airliners turned into fuel-air bombs. You could use that kooky line of reasoning to say that airline tickets or flight simulator programs are deadly weapons, too.

You bet. That's the difference between your girlfriend and my girlfriend.

Your girlfriend says "I feel like being naughty this weekend. Let's go to the sex shop."
