A ban on semi automatic weapons is the correct decision. Fat losers go hunting with semi autos because they are to stupid to practice with regular rifles.
lulz. the irony..

And again this is why people won't listen to you. You just make things up. I drove cross country a few times and saw plenty of signs posting MINIMUM SPEED LIMITS.
You're like that Cliff Clavin character on cheers that acted like he knew everything and just made stuff up and tried to disguise it as factual. Keep posting and keep giving yourself less credibility.
You are right he killer did use a flamethrower and in total 11 people died. What stopped the killer was the fact he ran out of fuel for his flamethrower.
Now had the killer used an AR-15 instead he could he hauling anywhere from 300 to 600 rounds of ammo. Most likely the death count would have been much higher then 11. Being that the killer was a grown man with military training attacking children in a crowded school.
Whoever can carry 500-600 rounds of ammo in loaded magazines probably goes by the name of ox

what part of

are you having problems understanding?
While something like a .45 will kill you just as dead as a AR-15 or ANY other gun I don't see the point in banning it or any other gun. People have a right to defend themselves and their families. A gun is a tool and nothing else. Banning ANY gun no matter what it is what stop people from being killed by a gun, wish people who were against guns would understand this. No, you can't shoot people as fast as with an automatic weapon but dead is dead it doesn't matter if it's 1 or 21. A GUN fell into the wrong hands. Period. Children and teachers lost their lives and it shouldn't of happened. It could of been a home made bomb that killed these people, no would can stop that.
The only things to be done is make the schools safer and harder for those who want to do someone harm harder to get into. It's easier enough to do but it will cost the tax payers more, I think whatever the cost is it's worth it to stop it from happening again.

So here is the problem. People want to ban the AR15, but aren't targeting other rifles.
It's strictly an emotional knee jerk reaction with no factual basis.
They claim the ar15 is targeted for it's capabilities, yet when explained that is isn't different than other rifles they deem ok like a hunting rifle, they just ignore it that fact. That makes no rational sense.
Or they make up capabilities that aren't true like "Ar15's can spray bullets and mow down tons of kids" or the one politician that claimed the ar fired heat seeking ammo. Like the bullets can be fired in one direction but will correct their course to the warm heat signature of a human.
Gun insurance doesn't contradict the 2nd amendment. Neither does it affect the right to own any gun. It only deters those high risk group from owning weapons that may cause mass shooting.
What do you mean? Deters high risk group. That would do nothing of the sort. I can buy and drive any car. Insurance can expire, it happens all the time. That guy that shot up Vegas was pretty wealthy.

Most likely no insurance company will sell a policy to anyone who had an arsenal of 33 weapons which were all bought legally. And the last dozens of weapons might demand skyrocketing premiums if the policy was sold. The Las Vegas victims might get $million each in compensation from the insurance company.

Why would it cost taxpayers? The parents who send children to those schools should be responsible for their safety, no?
