Aurora Shooting

[Cartierfor3]

I went to Israel about a year ago.  EVERYONE has a gun there.  EVERYONE.  Felt safe the whole time.*   






*Not implying that everyone in USA having a gun would make us safer.  People in Israel seemed more level headed.

Now claiming amnesia. How will they prove he doesn't have amnesia? I think if they can prove he doesn't have amnesia, his insanity plea will be a lot harder to make a case for.

The argument that a semi-automatic AR with 100 rounds is less dangerous than a handgun, because it has a reputation for jamming, has got to be a troll. HB you're trolling right?

I'm making the statement that it is no more dangerous than any other gun, which is entirely different than less dangerous. Look if you get shot by anything in a vital area, you're likely to die.   The only logical conclusion anti gun people can come to then is to get rid of all guns, including shotguns, which I might point out you can get in semi-automatic and altered to hold several rounds.   If you're going to go down that rabbit hole, you have to start asking yourself questions about home made bombs; not to mention all guns world wide will never disappear. What happens when some Riley Rat goes AWOL and starts blasting people in downtown manhattan with his government issued m16?  I have to ask you what you're trying to accomplish by restricting guns?  Making people safer, or taking people's ability to protect themselves away?  If your concern is for the safety of society, your time would be better spent creating a world where guns are not needed - not eliminating guns.

Look at HeinzBallz getting all mad and getting trolled and only typing really long blocks of text. This is why people coined the term gun nuts.

When did this become "nutty" speak?

Heinz has really outed himself in this thread as a crazy gun person. T's & P's moving forward Heinz. T's & P's.

I'm sure you're just giddy at the thought of not being the target for PI'n & trolling...   Luckily for the rest of us, you're still the master.

There is no good reason for a private citizen to have a semi-auto weapon.

Careful, your butthurt is showing.

There is no good reason to think taking them away will change anything.

It might not change anything, but it might. Know what certainly won't change anything? Doing nothing.

I've never heard of someone protecting their family with a semi-auto weapon in a first world country.  There needs to be at least some sort of security/contracters license or something for those weapons so you can't pick them up after a 5 day waiting list or whatever.

[kim carnes]

they will never make semi-auto weapons illegal in the US so it's pointless to discuss

Good point, Ira Hayes.

Where exactly would you hear about it?  Doesn't seem like something the media would propagate.

This is certainly not "doing nothing"

Can we lock this dumbass thread? Or atleast hide it in the Dunning Kruger?

Israel is not safe at all.

If it happened, it would be crazy enough to make headlines.  This thread has devolved enough anyways.  If you want to get into media conspiracies, we need to DK it.  Probably need to anyways....

I have to say that anytime somebody uses the "We can't just do nothing" argument, especially on an either or proposition, I hate it.

This one isn't about assault rifles, but it does involve a Chicago man potentially being prosecuted after it was discovered he owned a gun (which is illegal in Chicago) when he killed a bugler who had shot at him.

There's probably more, but This was all I could find in the first 2 pages of google searching.

I read an article the other day that talked about how when the constitution was amended to include the right to form a militia and have guns and whatnot, semi-automatic weapons weren't invented yet and the only "arms" with which they were familiar were super clunky, inaccurate muskets that could only get a round off like, once every minute and a half.  I hadn't ever really thought of that. 

Question: What if the framers didn't even have AR-15s in mind when they talked about forming a militia and carrying guns and stuff? 

Answer: Boy IDK, but either way I vote to outlaw every gun besides those muskets if for no other reason than it'd be hilarious.
