that idiot thinks owning guns is some kind of divine right, and that the founders would totally be ok with the gun epidemic in america these days. completely deluded, immune to reason and arguments, and entirely indifferent to the suffering it causes. imagine everyone was that narrow-minded and committed to the world views and visions of some blokes centuries ago, according to which 95% of the population should NOT be allowed to vote btw.


The ability to defend oneself IS a divine right. I'm so sorry for the world that you and your ancestors felt differently.

l2r, my post is about unrestricted access to guns, not the right to defend yourself. it's one of those lazy and disingenuous misdirections brainless NRA drones make...
i'm sorry for those kids that idiots are too dumb to distinguish one from the other, and too arrogant to overthink their moronic position:

I'm neither interested in your backpedal, nor care to consider it a difference.

ya we all know the lazy argument, and if all guns were banned, they would just use knives, and if all knives were banned they'd just build bombs... the tiny little flaw to that line of argument, however, is that it's simply not true. some might, one might, but many won't. evidence: the entire world.

so rather than hiding behind dumb hypotheticals to justify your acceptance of dead children, come up with something that WOULD help and push for a change in that direction? oh right, you people don't actually care about solving the issue, you constantly try to downplay it - you only care about no one even thinking about messing with your precious toys...

I don't think it's a lazy argument at all actually. School shooters will simply use handguns like they've done in the past (see VA tech). Why do you think a mass shooter would change his mind given the prevalence of handguns? On one hand, rifles have higher velocity and the NATO round is particularly vicious to internal organs because it's small enough where it won't go through you. On the other hand, handguns are much easier to use in close quarters, you can carry several in case your primary weapon jams, etc. Frankly, if you're going to commit a mass shooting, you should use your rifle to hit targets from over 30 feet away and use a handgun for the rest.

In terms of lethality, the aspect that the weapon is semi-automatic is the primary driver. I think the primary discussion needs to revolve around the regulation of semi-automatic weapons and how we can come up with solutions that are in line with current case law. Personally, I'd love to bring the hammer down on all the thugs and hillbillies who have illegal guns. Illegal gun owners constitute the vast majority of all gun crime in this country. Let's give them a life sentence for simply possessing a gun. Right now, the sentences are REALLY light: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2012/rpt/2012-R-0345.htm

At the same time, we really need to figure out a better way of vetting people. Should we create HIPAA exemptions for the purchase of a gun? Should we allow law enforcement to browse your internet history? What sort of solutions do you have in mind?

your inability to read correctly and make an honest reply is not a "backpedal" on my part. your inability to distinguish obvious differences and even the context of the very society you live in, does not make your stance any less moronic. also, didn't you at one point claim you're an atheist or something? or was that just to hide how your anti-choice stance is clearly religiously motivated bullshit?

Because they aren't allowed to pray there. Notice how children don't die in a church, only Protestants do.

Columbine happened in the middle of the AWB and the shooters used AWB compliant weapons.


Mass shootings went down over 45% after the AWB. When it expired mass shootings went up 250%.

Math says it worked.

"Bans don't work" says the guy trying to ban abortion lol. Talking out of both sides of your mouth here.

I can't read your intent, I can only read your words. I read your words just fine. And not an inability to see a difference, an absence of caring to do so. I don't even know why you engage, really.
