cool... a geek named Bob Dec 2012 #85

And how long did he take to amass that record? intaglio Dec 2012 #59

He did it in a little over three months. N/T GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #67

So a lot slower than 26 every 10 minutes intaglio Dec 2012 #70

He had Russian soldiers shooting back at him. N/T GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #71

Actually at the times he killed he didn't intaglio Dec 2012 #72

No. You are the one wanting to draw a parrallel. GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #75

What percentage of shots fired in combat kill or stop the assailant? Fumesucker Dec 2012 #78

I never implied that. You are the one trying to draw combat parrallels. GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #81

Bullshit, you said more kids would be alive Fumesucker Dec 2012 #87

Palantirs didn't see into the future, or alternate realities. GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #89

Or the kids could rush him like some paid shills for the gun industry seem to think is a good idea Fumesucker Dec 2012 #91

Or an armed guard, or school marshal, could rush in and shoot him. N/T GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #97

Or, more likely, he'd have had another victim intaglio Dec 2012 #86

Lanza wasn't wearing body armor. GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #88

Different level for different situations. GreenStormCloud Dec 2012 #101

What a laugh. Now I know you are a shill for the manufacturers intaglio Dec 2012 #110

agree 100%, we need to ban these weapons sasha031 Dec 2012 #4

I felt the same way until recently. Whovian Dec 2012 #6

All over the world there is a black market for everything. It is naive to think otherwise. nt Mojorabbit Dec 2012 #28

Gun control has kept gun violence down to a small fraction of what it is here per capita Whovian Dec 2012 #29

How old are you? Mojorabbit Dec 2012 #42

In my 60's, well educated, well informed. How old are you? What's your educational background Whovian Dec 2012 #48

I am pushing 60 Mojorabbit Dec 2012 #61

That can be waved mwrguy Dec 2012 #65

It wouldnt be the US Army vs average citizens davidn3600 Dec 2012 #8

Do you realize the NATIONAL guard is basically a branch of the US Military? Whovian Dec 2012 #10

And losing their paychecks immediatly as well as support Whovian Dec 2012 #20

I'd actually propose using the Swiss military as a model to emulate. Selatius Dec 2012 #9

I believe the Israelis have a similar model davidn3600 Dec 2012 #12

Israel does have a similar model, precisely for rapid mobilization. Selatius Dec 2012 #16

Considering they only have appx 8 mil people there and one of the highest per capita incomes in the Whovian Dec 2012 #13

Most gun owners don't buy guns to hunt deer . former-republican Dec 2012 #40

Around here they do. Rex Dec 2012 #43

You used the typical talking point of deer hunting and gun control ........ former-republican Dec 2012 #55

Backing out now that you got crushed Rex Dec 2012 #69

A cartridge appropriate to hunt deer will easily defeat police body armor Kennah Dec 2012 #66

True, but their intent is to kill deer Rex Dec 2012 #68

To quote Bo Burnam XRubicon Dec 2012 #95

An outright ban might be difficult. A new approach to the issue might help though and that is cstanleytech Dec 2012 #46

If you look again at the OP you will see I didn't propose an outright ban of guns. Whovian Dec 2012 #50

No , this is what you said former-republican Dec 2012 #58

"a ban on any semi automatic weapons for civilan use" is not a gun ban Whovian Dec 2012 #60

I didn't say it was a gun ban former-republican Dec 2012 #63
