That was a big leap. Hope you didn't pull a muscle. I'm a strong advocate of liberty and rights - even yours.

In a perfect world we'd never have to hang anyone. There wouldn't be events like today and the mentally ill would get treatment. But the world isn't always perfect and evil abounds.

I don't know you, but it is very possible you are more of the problem than the gun is.

Have you rejected God, ethics, morals and honor?

This disgusting PC experiment to make everything equal is a abysmal failure.

And these weapons are not typical of a mother, who it appears in fact bought them, making the purchase a straw man which is illegal.

This is a anti gun problem, with their so called Gun Free Zones..... Are you like what I am typing?

I have lost family to murder. A double murder no less. There is only one way to get my guns.

Eighty percent?

I think a source for statistical evidence of that may be in line here (unless, of course, you're referencing the garbage that's routinely published by the Violence Policy Center and Salon.com...).

And yes, sure, a ban on semi-automatics would save lives...just like that one time when a semi-automatic firearm ban saved 13 people from being shot to death at Columbine.

Get real.

I'm sure you'd be much happier if they were blown up or otherwise killed, just as long as it wasn't with a dirty nasty, scary gun.

So a 12 ga semi is not the weapon of choice what with the limited range and spread. So why not a .223 Bushmaster which can kill at a much faster rate

Yeah but the RPG in his hands makes it easier for the person to actualize his thoughts.
