LOL, if you are against having your rights ripped away from you then you are a delicate snowflake. LOLOLOL... I love the way the left tries to project the "s" word back and it's always a fail.

Vehicles are not a constitutionally protected right.

You don't know how easy it is to roll your own ammo. You just test the ingenuity of criminals. You can't ban knowledge. Good luck rounding up and regulating metals.
Got it. Status quo is good for you.

What a ridiculous comment!

Legal gun owners have long supported tough punishment for people committing crimes with firearms.

Would it have made you feel any better if the LV shooter had filled his private plane with gas cans and crashed into the crowd, Or maybe filled a u-haul with fertilizer and diesel and set it off on the street next to the event?

I don't make up the definitions.

Mass Shootings - isn't 4 or 5 where did you get 3 from?

And as for the last part of your comment -- that's just stupid.

The FBI and the media uses 4 people hurt or killed, and according to the media there have been 521 since the Orlando terrorist attack.
The definition of "mass shooting" complicates media coverage

So 520 so called mass shooting that don't make breaking national news, I wonder where the majority of those occurred?

The Founding Fathers wanted citizens to own guns that were the equivalent or better than the firearms used by standing armies of the day. You owned a rifle to hunt but it was also the equal of what a british soldier used. Better, given its accuracy. So applying that same logic to today, citizens should at least have semi automatic rifles and high capacity magazines. Unless maybe we limit what the government and military uses, then we could limit what citizens have. But then there's that whole " the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
And the government stockpiles more guns and ammo than the most insane gun nut. Over 1 billion rounds and untold thousands of firearms. And that's not the military,, those are for federal agencies. The Founding Fathers made an effort to protect the rights of citizens which has stood to this day but I wish they'd have taken the time to limit the powers of government more clearly. Both would have the same effect.

Yeah, Paddock broke a lot of our most severely punishable laws, maybe we should try and convict his corpse.

Thus the stupidity of more laws that only affect the law abiding, and the non-suicidal. Criminals can, and will get guns if they want them. They are still used in crime, and terrorism in places like Europe, and Australia which have very strict gun control.

This latest terrorist was law abiding. He purchased legally. Yes? Are you glad this man was able to amass a S- load of guns? It's all ok unless you kill 59 and wound 500 plus??? We should all be able to amass a small arms race in our hotel rooms or basements. Really?

If we add up the gun deaths in Europe and add up the gun deaths in the US - I think you will see a difference. Yes? Hint: there are around 35,000 gun deaths in the US annually. You like this number? Huh?
