Reply #82: The boy in Germany killed 15 people with a Luger

[doc03]

The Luger went into production way back in 1900 it is a semi-auto and the 9mm is a rather low powered cartridge. He killed 15 people with a low powered gun of 109 year old technology. The guy in Alabama shot 200 rounds from what you call assault weapons and only managed to kill 10 people. Shouldn't we ban those nasty old Lugers first? And no you don't know squat about hunting or guns. First of all what the hell is an assault weapon? Assault weapons were designed to kill humans not game, that doesn't make a damn bit of sense. You can't go out and kill a coyote with what you call an assault weapon? Besides that argument, it doesn't matter if your so called assault weapons are used for hunting or not, maybe people just like to shoot them or just want to have one. The Second Amendment gives us the right keep and bear arms in America, it is a Right the same as any other Right we have as Americans. I have a .40 caliber semi auto pistol with two 16 round magazines, if I put a round in the chamber I can shoot 33 rounds without reloading. I don't hunt with it and I probably will never need it. It's really not very likely I will ever need it for home defense because most people around here have a gun in their home and it's not likely anyone will ever invade my home. But it is my right to own it and it's my right to protect myself and family.
