Of all the mass killings, the top ranked weapon of choices are: bombs, fires, pistols and knives.

AR-15 is at the bottom of the bottom.

it's getting old right?

people, if you're going to chime in on a discussion, at least learn the basics.

good grief

If I want the challenge of hunting, I take the bow.
If I want to eat, I go shoot a deer, with the rifle. No challenge what so ever.

Government can in no way corral a bunch of snipers, only as long as government agrees to play by the snipers' rules. If you will allow me, I'll offer a tip regarding armed conflict: If your plan depends on the enemy cooperating, it's a bad plan.

200 million snipers with 300 million rifles says it would be a good fight.

If you think superior firepower is all it takes to squash a conflict, explain Vietnam and ISIS.

It's nice we have that option

I like how the left will accuse gun owners of being paranoid about the government taking away their weapons and then in the same breath will say that the government would wipe out all the citizenry who would stand up to it with all the weapons and military at its disposal.
Neither side has a very favorable opinion of the government, it seems.

The argument about "won't do anything about the problem" has nothing to do with it. You want your toys, regardless of what dangers the unfettered access to them by all people poses to society. That's why the reaction to anything proposed is "it won't stop the problem". The question is not whether it will stop the problem, but lessen it.

Do you want to have an honest and sincere discussion or do you just want to blow some air?

What's your purpose? To save lives or to ban guns?

If it's to save lives, the simplest way is make any felony committed with any weapon a mandatory life sentence.

You would also get universal support for that proposal from almost all the gun nuts. But your liberal masters would not like that idea.

The number of people killed each year by AR15 and its variants are less than those killed by hammers and sticks!

Get your facts right, please!

I wonder where the squirrel people got the idea that the world is a safe place? Why do they think they will never be robbed or raped by an armed, generally with a knife or superior size, assailant? Whey did they get the idea that they would be protected from all coercion and there would always be safe zones?


We need to be concerned with the violent people and not the guns.

But the legal hunting rifle like an Remington 270 could do more damage sta distance than the ar 15 or pistol, it just what its design for
