It certainly sounded like you were touting NRA shit. Anyway... Denny... You're not reading the entire article... Or frankly law. The two links I gave you, along with the link you just grabbed off of politifact says what I said... They're not banned. I don't know how to do fancy small screen shots like you so I'll quote directly from your article, and bold the necessary line. Now I could go back and do the same for the links I posted but at the end of the day AR's aren't completely banned from the US. It would take you 9months & 15k-40k to get one, but you could still get it. 31 years old and counting, but you can still get your hands on it.
And you're right. Like I said we can't prevent every one of these but what we can do is educate people more in signs of certain mental disorders that lead to violence.
Nope, nothing more to say. If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results then the country is insane and it will be insane tomorrow.
Did you just type "PEOPLE LIKE ME"? DID YOU? Do you know "PEOPLE LIKE ME" have actually seen people get shot and killed right in front of them. In high school BEFORE I was in the Gulf war TWICE actually! So, "PEOPLE LIKE ME" I believe have the right to state how they feel when it comes to people being slaughtered by machine gun fire. Kid I was having bullets graze by me when you were still getting your ass wiped. Check yourself before you start telling people who actually HAVE knowledge of the topic, what they SHOULD and SHOULDN'T be posting. Acting like you know everything. Try living life a bit before you come at me again. Holler at me if you want to continue this conversation.
It was one hour and 12 minutes from the time the first shot was reported until the police broke into the guy's room.
You want me to give you peoples phone numbers? Also, people might find me racist if I just start taking pictures of them at the next Blake Shelton concert. But I was there, and there were people of different colors attending. Mostly white, sure, but we live in one of the whitest big cities.
Messing with you man. I think Denny is just saying there is a certain demographic that might be at this show is all.
You're confusing semi-automatic rifles with fully-automatic rifles (AKA machine guns). An AR -15 is not a machine gun. An M16 is not a machine gun. They're not fully automatic. You have to fully pull the trigger every time you want to shoot the gun. With a machine gun, you only have to pull the trigger once and hold it down to fully empty the magazine. Machine guns were banned a long time ago. People still own them but they're extremely hard to get and very expensive. The shooter most likely did not have a machine gun. The rate of fire was too inconsistent. People are saying he was most likely "bump firing" or using a crank system which speeds up the rate of fire, but also makes the gun extremely inaccurate. Although, you don't really have to be accurate when you're shooting down into 20k people.
You mean, their are too many gun lobbyists against it. The polls show that a majority of Americans are for, at the least, sensible guns laws. And yet no new gun laws get past because gun lobbyist have too many of our politicians in congress in their pocket. Stop voting for our corrupt duopoly of Democrats and Republicans. Their corruption is way out of hand. It all boils down to corruption. Take corruption out of the equation and we would have a congress that works. Maybe not perfectly, of course. But it would be much better that this cluster fuck we have now. Only then will congress work for the people and pass sensible laws that polls show that the people of America would like to see pass.
This isn't some competition. I never questioned you on that. However you come in talking about trump, immediately bringing politics into it. What does his dumbass have to do with the shooting? Nothing. Let me guess though, on the personal insults you are obviously joking right since that's just what you're known for and they let you get away with "joking" around here. Looks like you got mad, not me. I just think it's stupid your first post on the subject you immediately bring politics into it.
Sigh, thanks denny. I guess I'll just quote my post from page 2 again. Kinda looks like I'm not the one confused. I really don't like repeating myself.
Well, we have to look at this entirely different than even how it affects today's world. Eventually the consensus will be that people can't have these weapons. Not old ones, not ones you convert yourself. That future is coming. How do we get there? How do you confiscate 500 million guns? (I have no idea of the real numbers) It is going to change, the question is when.
I love when people start an argument about gun control and then refer to an assault rifle as a "machine gun" or whatever else it is. Forget mental illness it was the guns fault. Forks! Forks and spoons are killing the fat people! Get the cars too! So many accidents a year!
