Check the FBI stats.
More people are killed with hammers than all rifles.
(not just the scary black ones.)

I am thinking you still believe this is an automatic weapon and it isn't. This is what is frustrating to me. People that post things they think and don't know. Please.... Go do some research.... Find out what you are talking about and get back to me.

my thoughts, precisely -
60sagain doesn't understand the issue at hand,
nor is willing to read and digest what others are trying to make clear....

You cannot walk in any store or gun show anywhere and just walk out with a machine gun.
You can walk out with regular semi auto rifles that look like machine guns but function like any other hunting rifle.
Cosmetics does not make it a military rifle, only the functionality does.
The guns you refer to only look military, they dont function like military rifles.

It a common mistake among those that don't know much about firearms.

I've already said Cops on campus. We do it here in SD and it works.

You drive legally and probably never killed anyone. I own guns legally and never shot anyone.
We have DWI checkpoints. Are you good with checkpoints for gun owners and shops?

That would be correct, do you normally speak to strangers when you go to events? Especially if you are uncomfortable? Could just be me.

I do, but I don't have a condescending attitude towards people who are different from me.

I really don't know anyone that isn't judge mental, do you? All based on our own lives and experiences and viewpoints every human as far as I know forms their personal judgements. These were mine in this instance.
