President Obama Enlists Public to Urge Congress to Act Against Gun Violence

[farminator3000]

32. no, it is exactly the issue- violence happens because any yahoo can buy any gun they want

you state these 'truths' as if you were there when it went down.

the terminology that you are nitpicking about actually mattering is the red herring-

i'd be fine with calling them "rambo-style fudpuckers".

all the hoohah about the 2nd amendment is just plain silly- there are more guns than people or cars.
everyone who wants a gun has one, i think. all the nra does is sell more gunz, period.

the issue is you don't need a military gun designed to kill the most people from far away to defend yourself.

back to machine guns- there are 15,000 in AZ- even though the laws against machine guns could be stronger, they still aren't used by psychos because they are regulated.

you can't regulate all semi-autos- there are 100s of millions of handguns of that type.

you can regulate detachable mags as a 'military' feature- there are millions of guns that have built in chambers for hunters and such

you could use 8 as a number of rounds.

the feds have to be involved, the states obviously can't get their s together:

But the research on actual gunfights, the kind that happen not in a politician’s head but in fluorescent-lit stairwells and strip-mall restaurants around America, reveals something surprising. Winning a gunfight without shooting innocent people typically requires realistic, expensive training and a special kind of person, a fact that has been strangely absent in all the back-and-forth about assault-weapon bans and the Second Amendment.
