If it was an evil semi automatic assault rifle machine gun with 10000 bullets it would have killed a lot of people lol. Just ask Katie Couric she knows all LOL!!!!

It doesn't take much of a perceived threat to get already-paranoid gun-clutchers to think they need even more guns. They are predisposed to hysteria.

But that's what it was made for. Killing someone. As you know.
Grenades also don't kill anyone until you pull the pin. But that's what they're for. Killing people. Lets have have even more of them in circulation. Sounds like a great plan for civilization. More weapons specifically made to kill people. A bright future.

I guess it's the assertion that "Democrats are the best thing..for the gun industry".

It seems to me that the NRA's effective play on people's fears has been the best thing that has happened for the gun industry. They've discovered a mutually beneficial relationship.

Why do Americans have a love affair with guns? They serve no purpose other than being tools to kill things or threaten people.

If someone had broken into your house while you were camping and stolen it, it might very well have killed someone by now.

Ridiculous that you can legit buy an assault rifle that would normally only be used in a war between armed combatants in America. Buts I got to have my assault rifle!!! What if the perps got an assault rifle? What if the perp has a rocket launcher? Does that entitle you to own a tank?

I support general gun-ownership in America since it is there to stay in. But they really need to at least pretend they are screening people with any semblances of seriousness, and stop selling freaking army grade hardware.
