This Gun-Nut has had enough.

129. Maybe it's time to ban civilian ownership of semi-auto weapons?

That would ban civilian ownership of 75% of the guns in America and affect millions of voters who would remember that it was a Democratic President that did that to them for the rest of their lives.

See where I'm going with that?

And it wouldn't have effected the outcome of yesterday's shooting at all. the shooter was the only person in the building with a gun he could have had a revolver (or more likely two) and ir wouldn't have mattered.

At Virginia tech the shooter had 2 pistols, one of which was a .22, every time he unloaded the Glock (10 round magazines BTW) he used the .22 to hold folks off for the second it took him to reload.

A revolver would have been slower but the end result wouldn't have changed.

How about we (as a nation) address the fact that the shooter was known to be disturbed (as was the tuscon shooter, as was the V Tech killer above, as was the guy in Aurora, a was the guy at New Life ) and no one stepped up and reported their concerns.

How about we work on the base causes of these shootings?

How about we demand that the media not turn reporting such incidents into media circuses and that they never mention the shooter's name.

That seems like a much more viable solution to me
