So you're saying that stringent backround checks and regulation of firearms saves lives?Sledog said:

You could say they would make their own (they wouldn't) or they would get them from outside the US (not likely).
People have ALWAYS gone crazy and guns have always existed. Look at the mass shooting numbers during the Brady Bill era and compare them to the period after them. When crazy has way more fucking rounds without having to stop to reload or even aim to wipe out hordes of people that's a common sense foul.
Why can't you walk into Wal-Mart and buy a hand grenade? You know the fucking answer, but there is a pause when people talk about taking away 250 round barrel magazines. That's fucking retarded. News flash, an AR with 250 rounds is much more deadly than a hand grenade, yet hand grenades are way too dangerous to sell to the general public.
I own more guns than 90% of America, but I'm not stupid. This has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment.
250 round belts yes, magazines no.
This was Nevada where machine gun ownership is legal. But that means he passed an extensive FBI background check. IIRC there have only been 2 murders committed with legally owned machine guns. There's about 250,000 of them in the country. -
This is over-simplified bullshit. It's terrorism when it's linked to a political cause or ideology and intended to intimidate, coerce, or just plain deter or kill opposition to one's own cause. It comes in all shapes and sizes when the relationship is established. If there isn't that relationship, then there's no cause to call it Terrorism.Mosster47 said:The Brady Bill needs to come back and not have a time limit.
I loved how they reported that it isn't terrorism or linked to terrorism. Only brown people can be terrorists. If you tell white people that white people are terrorists you can't sell them fear anymore.
Let's make everything about race, though. -
This, I agree with. Notable absence of conspiracy theories and presumed inherent racism.Mosster47 said:
Automatic weapons and high capacity magazines are WMD's, period. They shouldn't be available to the general public regardless of their background check capabilities.AZDuck said:
Just think of how many people this asshole could have killed by hurling knives and ninja stars from his hotel balcony instead of spraying the crowd with rifle fire.oregonblitzkrieg said:

It would be wrong to politicize this tragedy by discussing the relationship between easy access to firearms and mass shootings in the United States. -

Why not take them at their word and drop a few 500lb bombs on top of them in response?GrundleStiltzkin said:I'll be surprised if it's true
Lesson: Don't take credit for work that isn't yours. Cheaters get punished. -
Maybe but there is no way this is some fuck who just snapped. Way too much planning. He's a terrorist. Just a matter of who was pulling his stringsGrundleStiltzkin said:I'll be surprised if it's true
