Mar 2013

isn't it a frakkin shame that we can speak so easily of the way "so many mass murderers are taken down?" (No, I'm not sorry they get taken down; I find it disturbing that there are so many of them, so many that we can so effortlessly speak of their being taken down in great numbers.)

10th anniversary of Cheney's Slaughterhouse and it turns out that the worst of our enemies, as Pogo once said, "is us."

There'll most likely be a vote on the ban via an amendment to the bill, see article on link below Tx4obama Mar 2013 #1
"modeled after military assault weapons" krispos42 Mar 2013 #12
How else should the ban be defined? BainsBane Mar 2013 #49
how about not even banning them? bossy22 Mar 2013 #51
How would that have stopped Adam Lanza? Fawke Em Mar 2013 #53

Magazine limitation would have saved a lot of children... JoeBlowToo Mar 2013 #154
Yes! Gidney N Cloyd Mar 2013 #178
How long do you think it takes to swap out a magazine? GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #200
How many times did you think Lanza practiced doing that exact thing? Ikonoklast Mar 2013 #211

Crickets? See below, post #249. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #256
Which of the last few massacre killers were professionally trained shooters? FSogol Mar 2013 #266
Ten minutes training is all it takes for fast reloads. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #372
I call bullshit. Any skill takes time to learn. n/t FSogol Mar 2013 #377
It doesn't take any skill to reload. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #380
Then you would wrong. I am very proficient with firearms. FSogol Mar 2013 #381
I doubt that you have any proficiency with guns. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #397
Since I don't define everything as guns or gun-love, let me give you a non-gun (gasp!) example FSogol Mar 2013 #399
That's why guns are designed to be easy to reload. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #402
About ten minutes of practice is all it takes. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #249
"Can you walk and chew gum and dial your phone at the same time?" Ikonoklast Mar 2013 #267
How will limiting magazine capacity slow down the reload time? GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #373
coroner said he reloaded freely many times. didn't even fully empty the mags. AtheistCrusader Mar 2013 #311
I absolutely agree with you but RVN VET Mar 2013 #354
How many magazines do you think someone can easily carry? jeff47 Mar 2013 #260
At least 8 or 10 in a commercially available tactical vest hack89 Mar 2013 #269
And if they were so effective jeff47 Mar 2013 #285
ILBE and MOLLE gear can certainly carry that many mags hack89 Mar 2013 #291
That's why I was careful to not say it never can carry that much. jeff47 Mar 2013 #292
The military is concerned with additional issues such as AtheistCrusader Mar 2013 #314
So much better that Lanza would have been able to get off 80 bullets instead of 200 some, right? NT EOTE Mar 2013 #286
I support limits on magazine size hack89 Mar 2013 #287
Just making sure your words aren't misconstrued. nt EOTE Mar 2013 #288
The VT killer had at least 18 magazines. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #374

he probably would have been able to kill as many bossy22 Mar 2013 #62
He "probably would have been able to" BainsBane Mar 2013 #69
but the essential question is why is the AR-15 the weapon of choice? bossy22 Mar 2013 #76
Here in NJ you pay more to insure a red car. Walk away Mar 2013 #159
Yes! shenmue Mar 2013 #173
Begs the question, AR's arent the weapon of choice. AtheistCrusader Mar 2013 #344
Handguns are the weapon of choice for mass shootings by a large margin. hack89 Mar 2013 #163
I'm old enough to remember when banning hand guns was a goal... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #174
Gun control advocates made a huge mistake in 1994 hack89 Mar 2013 #184
They're failing on the public opinion battle.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #190
Balanced against that is the understanding that gun violence is at historic lows hack89 Mar 2013 #195
No, most people see these events are not "rare".... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #201
So why is gun control failing in such a spectacular fashion? hack89 Mar 2013 #205
Next thing you will say is Congress has a high approval rating. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #221
No - they deserve their lowly status hack89 Mar 2013 #225
The NRA doesn't NEED to raise funds. It's got the gun makers behind it.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #231
So just how much cash are we talking about? hack89 Mar 2013 #236
$11.7 billion in sales and $993 million in profits. LanternWaste Mar 2013 #247
And how much to the NRA? nt hack89 Mar 2013 #248
LOL!!! Guns and ammo are one of our major exports!!! Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #259
So give me a number. nt hack89 Mar 2013 #262

Thanks. nt hack89 Mar 2013 #301
Because you have bought-and-paid for by the NRA legislators ignoring overwhelming public opinion. Ikonoklast Mar 2013 #227
So where is the progressive counterpart to the NRA? hack89 Mar 2013 #234
Tens of millions of dollars from arms manufacturers to fund their political arm make the difference. Ikonoklast Mar 2013 #240
Emily's List alone has raised nearly 100 million dollars since 1985 hack89 Mar 2013 #245
Gun Control JohnnyBoots Mar 2013 #261
It kills me how gun controllers embrace Bloomberg. nt hack89 Mar 2013 #263
What crap. Sheldon Adelson gave $100M in 2012 alone. SunSeeker Mar 2013 #338
So after the first billion dollar campaign where the Dems out spent the repukes hack89 Mar 2013 #342
Way to deflect my points by just raising new bullshit. No, Repukes outspent Dems in 2012. SunSeeker Mar 2013 #360
A perfect world hack89 Mar 2013 #365
Sigh. You don't deny anything I said, you just repeat talking points. SunSeeker Mar 2013 #371

Have you seen this BainsBane Mar 2013 #275
"There is a reason the AR-15 is the weapon of choice for rampage killers." Jenoch Mar 2013 #312
There is a connection between magazine capacity and number of deaths in mass shootings ThoughtCriminal Mar 2013 #356
Then why put a pistol grip on a sawwed off shotgun? VanillaRhapsody Mar 2013 #99
because it makes it more comfortable to hold in certain positions. bossy22 Mar 2013 #106

A renewed AWB never reached Bush's desk. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #376
Yeah, let's not ban anything unless the single ban makes Progressive dog Mar 2013 #162
If the AWB is a "small" step in the right direction, what would you recommend as a final goal? Peter cotton Mar 2013 #167
One step at a time Progressive dog Mar 2013 #176
So you don't recommend any restrictions beyond an AWB? Peter cotton Mar 2013 #189
Well, "playing war" and hunting are by and large the same sir pball Mar 2013 #191
No they're not, you are confusing wants and needs Progressive dog Mar 2013 #194
What? That makes no sense. sir pball Mar 2013 #199
Humanely kill the deer makes no sense Progressive dog Mar 2013 #203
Umm...you're babbling, dude. Are you anti-hunting? sir pball Mar 2013 #207
Why don't you look up the definition of humane? nt Progressive dog Mar 2013 #209
Yeah yeah, "humane" would be to not hunt sir pball Mar 2013 #210

As I said, I believe that the AWB is a minimal step Progressive dog Mar 2013 #276
A minimal step towards...what? krispos42 Mar 2013 #361
this background check thing doesn't address the full problem Progressive dog Mar 2013 #362
And.... we've hit the wall. krispos42 Mar 2013 #391
That is a pretty poor argument Progressive dog Mar 2013 #401
That's not the point I was trying to make krispos42 Mar 2013 #403
Yes it was, or maybe you just like pictures of guns Progressive dog Mar 2013 #405

You do not see the testosterone dripping from the top picture? RC Mar 2013 #177
Nope. I see the following features: Peter cotton Mar 2013 #187
I see lots of testosterone... nikto Mar 2013 #367

They aren't "functionally identical".... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #181
Incorrect. They both accept identical magazines. Peter cotton Mar 2013 #183
Your pictures don't show that.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #198
I'll edit the post to make it clearer, if that helps. Peter cotton Mar 2013 #208
LOL!!! Because you declared victory does that mean it's over? Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #215
Hm... I notice you didn't actually answer my questions or address the points in my last post. Peter cotton Mar 2013 #224
If they're so much the same, why get into a lather over the loss of one of them? Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #228
You *still* haven't answered the questions. Let's try again, shall we? Peter cotton Mar 2013 #244
I have a question for you... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #255
Why are you trying so hard to avoid answering my questions? Peter cotton Mar 2013 #273
I already DID.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #274
I wasn't part of that sub-thread. Peter cotton Mar 2013 #283
As far as I'm concerned the whole issue is washed down.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #284
Machine guns aren't banned, it's legal to possess them. Peter cotton Mar 2013 #294
How about putting the same restrictions on assault weapons? Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #305
It's been proposed. There were rumors that the 2013 AWB was going to do just that. Peter cotton Mar 2013 #309
There aren't "tens of millions" of assault weapons out there.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #315
You're right, there are MANY tens of millions. AtheistCrusader Mar 2013 #318
This may shock you but a LOT of those purchases,... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #324

So they're better but some features are the same Progressive dog Mar 2013 #297
The two rifles shown are, in practical terms, identical. Peter cotton Mar 2013 #298
But you like one better, I see Progressive dog Mar 2013 #304
Actually, I like them both. Peter cotton Mar 2013 #307
so now you get to redefine identical Progressive dog Mar 2013 #317

Are you being deliberately deceptive Progressive dog Mar 2013 #335
They are identical rifles underneath the furnishings. nt hack89 Mar 2013 #186
Uh huh,...like that's an argument. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #212
Same bullet, same rate of fire, same magazine size hack89 Mar 2013 #214
Fine, ban both... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #219
Better tell Feinstein before it is too late. nt hack89 Mar 2013 #222
You just can't accept that the two are NOT "the same". Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #223
They are just as lethal hack89 Mar 2013 #229
That's because the assault weapon is the choice of crazy people. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #235
Actually hand guns are the weapon of choice of mass shooters hack89 Mar 2013 #241
So we should do nothing. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #246
You could face reality and at least propose laws that solve the problem hack89 Mar 2013 #251
Yeah, ban handguns too. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #257
Exactly. nt SunSeeker Mar 2013 #299
