I disagree.a lot of people. It is not that difficult.
Getting a full auto weapon is not easy--at least legally. 
Thank you for clarifying. In my head I knew what I was saying. I'm not sure why people want to argue wording and not the points though.
because it is important. If you ban semi-auto weapons do you know what that means? A huge portion of the market is semi- auto.
You are right--I am guilty of doing exactly what we shouldn't be doing in this one---sorry guys :(
Do you think that “they” would give up and go home if they didn’t have an ar-15? I don’t.
How much of the market is the civilian version (same round, same muzzle velocity) of the rifle the US military has used for the last 55 years or so?
I don’t want to derail the topic of this post and I apologize if I have started too. We can take the debate to the proper thread if you don’t mind. Please tag me there so we can discuss further.
Just saw this thread and reached out to my cousin and his wife who both work in the school system in Red Bluff.
People have a better chance at responding when bullets aren't flying at 180 rounds per second/30 rounds per magazine.
In NY we only get it with no flash free muzzle, no pistol grips, a rifle stock, and 10 round magazines. The mass slaughter of innocents takes way longer
This just makes zero sense. Based on your math a shooter would have to reload 6 times, while firing, per second to get to your 180 rounds per second. The gun may be able to do it (i am tired of the debate so i wont look it up) but, it is physically impossible outside of your fantasy land. Just stop.
I apologize for saying "per second" instead of "per minute".
Its sad that I have to spell it out for you, but here it is.
He was going on an absolute rampage. The reason he went to the school was because he knew he could do the most damage there. He would've annihilated all those kids. Whoever took the initiative to put the school on lockdown -- before any "official" word came in to do so -- is heroic and saved so, so many lives.
Also, kudos to the neighborhood guy who shouted something like "hey, why don't you shoot this way" (which occurred, and he got shot in the arm). What an incredibly brave and selfless act.
You know that any semi auto hand gun can easily do this as well? I can take from your comments that bolt action rifles and revolvers are your solution? Unfortunately, i don't think this will fly with gun owners.
I've reached the point that I don't care what will fly with gun owners. It's a hobby that shouldn't be a hobby.
Much better coined than the first one thank you for clarifying. We can agree to disagree but that's okay.

Seriously... guy was clearly cueing up for something... LE ignored. All too often the case of ignoring red flags.
Indeed. New range opening walking distance from my office. Has a nice deli. 30 min range rental + sandwich lunch breaks will be a semi-weekly thing going forward I think.
Yyyyyyep :(
Not used here.
Seriously. Though I go back and forth in wanting them to die gruesome deaths in prison, but this way saves tax dollars at least. #### this guy.
Totally normal dude here. Curious how he got these guns since they were already banned for him.
So a weapon of lesser efficiency, used in a the same scenario as a more efficient weapon doesn't decrease the odds of people dying? Interesting perspective.
The only way to do it is to ban the ownership and sale of all guns and ammo except for those issued to the military and law enforcement. It'll take generations to get them out of circulation, but the alternative is to have more innocent people die needlessly just because some people have a hobby.
Okay then i disagree with you. Give me a glock 17 or an AR-15 with a room full targets (actual paper targets please) and you will have the same result. I will hit each target multiple times at roughly the same rate. The debate that the ar-15 is the end all for every crime is just stupid.
I agree. The negative direction we're currently headed in is massive. It's gone from yearly, to monthly, to weekly. It's getting close to daily and will soon be hourly.
Please don't take this as being condensing i do not mean it to be but good luck with this. There will never be a culture in the US that is okay without the right to own a gun.
In 2004 I was saying the same thing. Except I was saying "there will never be a culture in the US that is okay with gay marriage."
