You know what? I find it disgusting that you are mocking & insulting the victims. You have no idea how you would react in that horrible situation, whether you were armed or not. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I have always been floored by the reactions of people facing immanent death, who cower in fear like an ostrich burying his head in the sand.
And I'm not questioning anyone's bravery, just common sense, and the inbuilt instinct of self preservation. When confronted by an armed murderer whose intention to murder in masse becomes obvious, the natural instinct of "flight or fight" should automatically kick in, without the need for conscious decision making. Nowhere in that instinct is it natural to cower in fear or scream like a baby. This is "learned dependence". This is the liberal mindset drummed into some which embraces the idea that only people in uniforms should have those dangerous guns, and when trouble appears, call for help ... don't try to defend yourself, because you are too weak, too powerless ... just wait for those strong men to rescue you. The reality is, what is likely to happen is that when the rescuers arrive, they will be whipping out the chalk to draw that outline around your body.
One lone wolf with a gun is no match for 50 people, if only they allowed their natural instincts to kick in, bum rush the SOB, and beat the living crap out of him. Then the rescuers could save some chalk, having only one or two bodies to draw around, instead of 51.

Libs want an ant hill utopia. King and Queen with army ants, the rest are drones that all look and act alike. No special privileges or distinctions.
Drones aren't programmed to fight, they wait for the army ants.
Why you might work on how to ban firearms nationwide in an effort to stop terrorists from buying guns, I'm over here wondering why you don't want to ban terrorists from even being in our country buying guns.

Why should we ban the terrorists? Statistically, they and their family are mostly democrat voters.
You nailed it right here. The one truth that no one wants to talk about, namely that the number of guns and access to them has not changed, it's our people and our culture that have. .
Actually, the number of guns has increased dramatically while the murder rate has decreased dramatically. The murder rate in the USA has fallen almost 50% over the past 30 years while guns per capita has almost doubled.
You nailed it right here. The one truth that no one wants to talk about, namely that the number of guns and access to them has not changed, it's our people and our culture that have. Since the 1960s, if not earlier, our culture has been on a morally downward spiral. We now live in a culture with no moral absolutes, no right or wrong. If it feels good, do it, who cares about anyone else? We scream for the "right" to kill our unborn children when they get in the way of our lives, even though it was generally our carelessness that conceived them, then we wonder why people have no respect for human life. We worship people whose only contribution to the world is living a completely depraved life devoid of any common sense or moral restraint and mock those who try to live by high personal standards or, God forbid, read the Bible. We make movies and video games where it is par for the course to mow people down with guns and still don't get the connection between some emotionally or mentally disturbed person watching them and then attempting to live them out. The nuclear family is in a shambles and the result is vast numbers of lonely, disenfranchised individuals who don't feel like they matter to anyone and take it out on innocent people.
I don't know what the conservative solution to mass shootings is, but if we could somehow turn back time and undo the rotting of our culture from the inside out, that would be a start.
I like to bump threads to continue the conversation rather than start the same discussion multiple times.
I agree moral restraint and common sense is lost today.
If we resolve all the problems like wage gap and corporate/government corruption most of what drives people to loose it and kill innocent people will stop.
Banning guns will be tougher than stopping corporate/government corruption, the pen is mightier than the sword. This would solve a lot of our problems and would be a bipartisan accomplishment.
Oh here we go again. Basically it has the general configuration of an actual military weapon like a M16. The killers like the pseudo military look so they can act like Rambo. It’s a long rifle that is semi automatic and has a quick release reload high capacity magazine.

You are also correct. That doesn't change the fact it is not an assault rifle. It also isn't the made up term assault weapon and there is not any ban. It is only symbolic.
You can do it but you'd have to change the 2nd and house to house confiscate with prison times.
That's another fact.
