(17,493 posts)a "mass murder machine" that all this publicity has led to people with severe mental issues to chose one for their mass murder?
Is it possible that 24/7 coverage of any mass murder lasts until all the victims are buried might influence some mentally ill person who felt that society had rejected him to chose to gain fame by trying to set a record for the number of people he murdered before he committed suicide?
You are not hurting my feelings in the least. However I enjoy enjoy target shooting handguns and own two .22 caliber target pistols that have 10 round magazines that are detachable.
What exactly do you mean by "ban." Should I be required to turn my target pistols in or face a fine or imprisonment? What would that accomplish? Would it stop some person with a severe mental problem from killing a large number of people? All my firearms are properly secured and I held a government security clearance for 40 years before I retired. I also have a Florida concealed weapons permit. I am totally sane and have have a spotless criminal record.
