I keep saying it is today's culture.

Guns have been legal for over 200 years.

How many school shootings were there 100 years ago?
How many times were firefighters ambushed 100 years ago?

Police would not say what kinds of guns Spengler used, but as a convicted felon, he could not legally own firearms.


A few points...

1: Was a ban for hammers called for 17 yrs ago?

2: Rehabilitation didn't work for him.

Conservatives keep saying this, which is why a gun ban would be useless.

But we all know almost any gun can be altered to be a high powered  automatic weaon so it is what it is.....passing laws isnt always the answer. We also know that any person who trully wants to make a gun from scratch could easily do it. We also know that guns if banned would only be a boon for the black market.

Hows the war on drugs working out for us??

Parlay that over to the war (ironic I know) on guns and I imagine the results would be the same.

 

Carry on.....God Bless those killed my mentally ill people with firearms or any other weapon at their disposal.

 

 


The term assault rifle sounds bad, but unless you are shooting at someone who is a long distance away then it has no advantage to a pistol.

I think liberals think assault rifle means automatic and it doesn't. A 9mm probably holds just as many rounds as an assault rifle. Add the fact that a 9mm is more compact and easier to handle I would conclude that means it can do more damage than an "assault rifle."
