We should just enforce the laws we already have. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #10

Did Holmes break any laws up to the point he busted in on that theater? sadbear Jul 2012 #14

Yes. It's illegal to make booby-traps. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #17

Do you always make that jump? sadbear Jul 2012 #20

I love how the anti-gun side always uses the term "reasonable" to describe what they want to do Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #22

How about this, for starters? sadbear Jul 2012 #23

Well, there you go. You do want to ban things Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #24

Yep sadbear Jul 2012 #25

In point of fact, I can keep everything...since no meaningful gun control legislation Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #26

The purchase of thousands of rounds at a time is routine for recreational shooters. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #27

What's the typical size of such purchases, out of curiosity? Posteritatis Jul 2012 #31

It depends on what they're shooting and just how dedicated they are to improving Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #34

And shouldn't they be checked out too and found to be routine purchasers? lunatica Jul 2012 #65

No they shouldn't. I simply disagree with you. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #66

Why? lunatica Jul 2012 #68
