I believe we've all heard and read enough information.. Heimer Jan 2013 #12
It's well known that facts have a liberal bias. Tommy_Carcetti Jan 2013 #15
how is the police statement not a fact? so you do believe they are lying? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #17
everyone should see H. Wayne Carver speak to the press green for victory Jan 2013 #99
the official police statement from the .gov JanMichael Jan 2013 #27

The Gun Militants Have Been Using A Very Narrow "Assault Rifle" Definition.... Paladin Jan 2013 #10
wat lolwat Jan 2013 #16
LOLWAT?!?!?!? Tommy_Carcetti Jan 2013 #18
Yep - and new bills will/have address/ed such weapons. jmg257 Jan 2013 #19
? lolwat Jan 2013 #22
Bring out the Mirt. Tommy_Carcetti Jan 2013 #24
It is an assault weapon and will be/has been codfied as such. jmg257 Jan 2013 #25
Until the manufacturer changes the shape of the grip Recursion Jan 2013 #31
Then the law will need to be adjusted. Capacity will also be addressed. jmg257 Jan 2013 #35
What's the point of doing a ban of just a subset of repeating arms with detachable mags? Recursion Jan 2013 #42
Because any comprehensive bill that would substantially reduce the number of 'all' guns jmg257 Jan 2013 #52
They don't have higher rate of fire, higher capacity, or faster reloads. They just don't. Recursion Jan 2013 #54
Sure it does. But as I said just include all repeating arms. jmg257 Jan 2013 #57
Why leave equally-capable guns legal? Recursion Jan 2013 #58
Are you not reading what I wrote? BECAUSE GUNNERS WON'T LET YOU MAKE THEM ILLEGAL! jmg257 Jan 2013 #59
How is it a good place to start? Sales of newly-compliant models will skyrocket Recursion Jan 2013 #61
Hmm...maybe you missed the part about having an authority constantly update the banned list? jmg257 Jan 2013 #63
You're still not decreasing the actual amount of weapons in circulation Recursion Jan 2013 #64
Who says? Registration? Non-transferable? Confiscation of contraband? Criminal Penalties? Sure jmg257 Jan 2013 #65
A semi-auto manufacture/import ban is a bridge too far, but you're talking confiscation? Recursion Jan 2013 #68
You want to address current numbers...that's how you do it. jmg257 Jan 2013 #70
why would the military definition apply to society? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #26
I don't care what you call it or define it Sugarcoated Jan 2013 #20
Then start banning based on that, and stop banning based on grip shape Recursion Jan 2013 #29
you are the only one going sideways farminator3000 Jan 2013 #32
The "2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test" means banning that grip shape Recursion Jan 2013 #36
the reason for having a pistol grip seems negligable farminator3000 Jan 2013 #39
OK, so Colt makes an AR with a different grip shape. What's been accomplished? Recursion Jan 2013 #40
first of all, banning 30 and 100 round mags. then, slowing (or HALTING) sales of ARs farminator3000 Jan 2013 #45
BWAH! Recursion Jan 2013 #47
why do you say 'we'? you are not on 'our' side? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #73
I am a Democrat, so you can take that "not on our side" thing to the cleaners Recursion Jan 2013 #74
i have to go to a solar power meeting farminator3000 Jan 2013 #76
Yes, now you get it! PLEASE just give up about the grip! (nt) Recursion Jan 2013 #78
Problem is gunners want their hunting rifles and pistols. Otherwise jmg257 Jan 2013 #33
I think there's this fantasy that mass shooters won't use hunting-styled semi-automatic weapons... Recursion Jan 2013 #38
no, there's a reality that if any yahoo couldn't walk into a walmart and buy ARs with 1000 rounds farminator3000 Jan 2013 #41
Right, and you want them to buy an AR with a differently shaped grip Recursion Jan 2013 #43
the grip is one of many example of how military things are used by civilians, which is silly farminator3000 Jan 2013 #46
How does it make the gun more dangerous? (It actually makes it safer) Recursion Jan 2013 #48
riiiight... people are buying rifles with pistol grips because they are concerned about safety! farminator3000 Jan 2013 #55
Sniper rifles almost never have pistol grips because snipers fire prone or supported, generally Recursion Jan 2013 #56
do a google image search for sniper rifle and tell me what you see farminator3000 Jan 2013 #67
Background check laws are great Recursion Jan 2013 #69
what about holmes, lanza, griego? since july? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #71
AR's aren't the problem Recursion Jan 2013 #72
not true at all. farminator3000 Jan 2013 #75
Most do. Look it up in mother jones. Recursion Jan 2013 #77
no, i think ARs are frivolous and there are already way too many farminator3000 Jan 2013 #49
I literally do not understand your thought process Recursion Jan 2013 #50
likewise, i'm sure! you are preferable to most gun lubbers, i'll give you that! farminator3000 Jan 2013 #60
What does the magazine have to do with the gun? Recursion Jan 2013 #79
i'm fairly certain it feeds the deadly chunks of lead up to the barrel at a very high rate farminator3000 Jan 2013 #95
That at least makes sense Recursion Jan 2013 #97
nice first post, that's really helpful. you know a lot about gunz, huh? farminator3000 Jan 2013 #21
Your nit-picking is bullshit. 27 people DEAD, including 20 fucking kids, who gives a fuck what Mnemosyne Jan 2013 #28
The Gun Militancy Movement No Longer Gets To Control The Vocabulary. (nt) Paladin Jan 2013 #81
Actually the opposite is true. The general public has been using an expanded, inaccurate definition PoliticAverse Jan 2013 #23
not at all. the LAWS have been using a definition. farminator3000 Jan 2013 #30
"Assault rifle" v "assault weapon" is a pretty simple distingtion sir pball Jan 2013 #44

Are you kidding me? Why bother with batshit crazy crap? lonestarnot Jan 2013 #51
Normally, I wouldn't. Tommy_Carcetti Jan 2013 #84
i dont understand why people here insist on arguing with empty-headed jackasses but if you must leftyohiolib Jan 2013 #62
It may be true that by Conn. legal definition the semi-auto rifle was not an "assault weapon" aikoaiko Jan 2013 #66
i just point and double over in laughter.. frylock Jan 2013 #80
Ultimately the official police report will be released jambo101 Jan 2013 #82
To do it "definitively" will take a while; the police haven't issued their final report yet Recursion Jan 2013 #83
The conspiracy nuts don't need early false reports Sugarcoated Jan 2013 #86
Shit man Dpm12 Jan 2013 #85
I haven't heard that rumor. egduj Jan 2013 #89
