Follow the money -- someone gave that loser a whole lot of money -- why? We already know the government was giving him money.

Of course then there's belt-fed guns, no mags needed...
Takes 2 to 10 seconds to drop one magazine (longer for those untrained like these guys), which is seconds that save lives in mass shootings.

I want to legalize every drug and claim that prohibition doesn't work - and I fully support the Second Amendment.

And a person intent on mass murder is going to obey a law that says he can't have more than 10 rounds in his gun? Don't be silly. The nutjob in CO had built bombs too. No law stopped or would have stopped him.

If they aren't there to buy, how can you get them?

It makes it much harder to obtain things like huge magazines when they are illegal. Thats the point.

These guys are going to gun stores and buying this stuff. If they can't do that, it makes it much harder to do their deeds.

Oh great, you would have us all become Mexico where only the police, military and criminals have guns as the rest of the population has to cower in fear. Oh yeah, that will work out just great.

Your whole concept is a big FAIL IMO.

Oh yeah, has worked so well with out neighbor to the south Mexico hasn't it?

The Fed the last decade has confiscated all the guns people were protecting themselves and the criminals and Narcos flowed right in with their weapons and took over everything.

IDEA FAIL!

People shoot people. In fact, for the most part, people who don't observe the rule of law shoot people. When you ban guns, you essentially take away the rights of law abiding citizens to defend themselves from people who do not, and will not observe the rule of law. There is one thing that scares me more than gun nuts... That is nuts who want to take away all the guns, from everyone. It also scares me even more as I hear more people looking to the government to solve their problems... Sissy nanny socialist states don't have a history of working out too well...

There is certainly nothing stopping tons of meth and heroin and cocaine from making it easily over the border, not to mention many thousands of illegals coming every single day. Making guns illegal will simply move them over to the black market, no tracking forms would have to be filled out and any 13 year old could buy them from the same dealer that provides the pot and meth.
Exactly, these idiot liberals don't understand even if you banned all the guns, criminal organizations(I.e drugs cartels, the mob, street gangs) will just smuggle them in from somewhere else, and sell them on the black market. I mean just look at the great job our government does of stopping drugs and illegals from entering.(sarcasm)
