Re: Assualt weapons

Maybe a thread on assault weapons wasn't a great idea. I hadn't expected as much animosity as it has engendered. I guess the subject of guns is a lot like the subject of religion. People that love their religion really LOVE their religion and people that love their guns really LOVE their guns. I ha...

Re: Assualt weapons

Mak, I read the NYT article, and I agree with it. In fact, the spirit of my posting on this thread precisely matches the mass-shooting definition and focus in the NYT article. In other words, whether or not most 7-11 holdups occur with a pistol isn't my concern. My belief, and I'm willing to change...

Two kill three people? Dude my single bolt action 30.06 has a six round mag ... damn It rates a double mass killing rating without even reloading. My shotty holds 9 and one in the chamber ... tripple mass murder ratting machine without reloading. And note your article confirms what I suggested earl...

Re: Trump was right.. There WAS 1,000's of Muslims celebrati

In New Jersey..... Trump did say Jersey City, but that could have simply been a mistake, because there were only a few groups in Jersey City apparently of Muslims who cherred 9/11 (that can be found so far). Hey, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop making my faith community look like such bigoted and b...

Re: Assualt weapons

mak, seriously, you made at least 3 sexist statements today, in this thread alone. I have you on ignore, but I thought I'd see if you had something constructive to add to a completely different context and discussion. Play with a proxy dick? Tell that to the US military. Tell that to the cops. Tell...

Linking guns with manliness, huh? Imagine that.

Re: Assualt weapons

Good heavens did you read your own link? Yes, I did read it. "For at least the past decade, the F.B.I. regarded a mass shooting as a single attack in which four or more victims were killed. (In 2013, a mandate from President Obama for further study of the problem lowered that threshold to thre...

Re: Assualt weapons

A few years ago I was about to purchase a gun, despite protests from my wife. The one thing that changed my mind was Maklelan's numerous posts that provided plenty of scientific evidence showing that I would not actually be making my family safer. On the contrary, I would be increasing our risks. I...

Re: Assualt weapons

K. I'll let you and faqs battle over claims without references as to what has been literally been proven for decades. I provided several references. Your next lines doen't seem to "hit the mark" as it were in responding to what you quoted from me. I think had you read my whole post first,...

Re: Assualt weapons

Usually, with the argument that "It can be bought online and shipped right to me" people are referring to online dealers or distributers, or online auctions. Both of these would require processing through an FFL. I'm talking about that, too, and no, it does not necessarily require backgro...
