Do you mean 7.65mm? That would be a .30 caliber. oneshooter Mar 2018 #318

You meant "assault weapon" not assault rifle. ManiacJoe Mar 2018 #181

I think he doesn't know what he meant, thus the thread discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2018 #184

We don't have to know, but our lawmakers better consult experts who know IronLionZion Mar 2018 #188

Unfortunately, consulting the experts rarely ever happens. ManiacJoe Mar 2018 #220

I'm hoping our leaders have learned from those mistakes IronLionZion Mar 2018 #221

I would add... MicaelS Mar 2018 #189

Rizwan Farook and Omar Mateen were white? Marengo Mar 2018 #205

We should agree with them and say OK, let's talk about all semi autos Amishman Mar 2018 #203

And as long as the "control" crowd is reaching that far... discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2018 #209

For years, the "gunner" crowd insisted there was no passion for gun control. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #235

I have never said that 'there was no passion for gun control' discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2018 #237

This weekend will have proved absolutely nothing if it does not result in legislation. hack89 Mar 2018 #302

Your concern is duly noted. nt SunSeeker Mar 2018 #304

Trust me, I am not concerned hack89 Mar 2018 #305

Something has already happened. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #306

Doesn't mean things will change hack89 Mar 2018 #308

Things have already changed, and leadership is not ignoring the issue. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #310

What I see happening is UBCs, tighter background checks and maybe magazine size limits hack89 Mar 2018 #311

LOL You went from "Nothing will happen" to "UBCs" & mag size limits. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #313

They will throw you a bone while avoiding a big fight over gun control hack89 Mar 2018 #314

LOL. Man, the gunners are shitting their pants over the thought of an AWB. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #315

There will be no AWB hack89 Mar 2018 #319

You just said we would get "nothing." Then you said we'd get UBCs and mag limits. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #320

This isn't a card game, hack. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #322

Basic knowledge of history and politics makes prediction easy hack89 Mar 2018 #323

No one predicted these kids, hack. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #324

Until legislation is passed, no predictions have been proven wrong hack89 Mar 2018 #328

Florida already passed legislation no one predicted would pass. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #329

Minor legistation that does not take a single weapon of the street hack89 Mar 2018 #330

By that criteria, an AWB similarly "won't impact the vast majority of gun owners." SunSeeker Mar 2018 #332

Except all gun owners hate gun bans hack89 Mar 2018 #341

Wrong. 67% of Americans, including 53% of gun owners, favor an assault weapons ban. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #342

Unfortunately we don't have national referendums hack89 Mar 2018 #344

History told us we'd never have millions of people take to the streets for gun control. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #346

Millions have marched against abortion hack89 Mar 2018 #347

No, the March for Our Lives was much larger than any anti-abortion march. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #349

Time will tell but somehow I doubt it. hack89 Mar 2018 #351

Of course you doubt it. You don't want to believe it's happening. nt SunSeeker Mar 2018 #352
