There aren't that many particles in the entire universe. N/T GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #18

That might be considered an intelligent statement........ lastlib Mar 2013 #23

I cross posted this to the Gungeon Electric Monk Mar 2013 #2

If you think that... discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2013 #3

I guess than, that I am not a "prick!" jonthebru Mar 2013 #4

Are those really .223s? adieu Mar 2013 #6

Very difficult to tell without something for scale. N/T GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #7

The proportions are right, but with nothing to compare to, who knows. X_Digger Mar 2013 #8

223 ammo rickyhall Mar 2013 #9

I wonder how they looked to those kids........ lastlib Mar 2013 #24

So we should ban .223 ammo? hack89 Mar 2013 #10

...sez another bullet-head.......... lastlib Mar 2013 #25

Why do you think it is good idea? nt hack89 Mar 2013 #32

might keep a few kids from getting killed..... lastlib Mar 2013 #35

By making one kind of bullet illegal? hack89 Mar 2013 #37

And we need every kind in case one gets banned. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #60

But since we hear constantly about how we can keep our hunting rifles hack89 Mar 2013 #68

That whole "refuse to understand guns" line is a RW talking point... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #73

Yet the OP is a classic example of gun ignorance hack89 Mar 2013 #75

The people devoted to watering it down are the ones to worry about. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #80

Nobody waterdowned CT's AWB. hack89 Mar 2013 #81

LOL!!! Do you honestly believe the AWB under Clinton was seen by Liberals as perfection? Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #83

I am talking about CT's AWB - the one that said Lanza rifle was not an assault rifle. nt hack89 Mar 2013 #85

My point is that Liberals could stop this if we were represented. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #87

Not if they willfully remain ignorant about guns hack89 Mar 2013 #88

But that's where you fall down flat. Liberals into the issue know their shit. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #89

There doesn't seem to much evidence of that here hack89 Mar 2013 #93

Do you honestly believe Liberals don't know the game? Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #96

This is what I don't understand about the focus on assualt weapons hack89 Mar 2013 #97

I picture a day when some RW Gun Cult storms DC.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #98

A threat to national security? hack89 Mar 2013 #99

Don't tempt me. I want it all.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #100

Not a silly dream at all. nt hack89 Mar 2013 #101

I wonder if we would be having this debate if it were disintegration pistols.... Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #102

Agreed. Fuck understanding a gun, and fuck the ghouls who swim in that garbage. n/t DisgustipatedinCA Mar 2013 #82

Then there is the spectacle of gun nuts telling Congress they may need to shoot,...Congress. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #84

Because willful ignorance is the perfect basis for effective gun control laws. hack89 Mar 2013 #86

You are so clueless and emotional that you make no sense. n-t Logical Mar 2013 #103

Not what Rude said. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #30

One link to the amount of ammo and another one to a guide on .223 ammo hack89 Mar 2013 #31

Perhaps a closer look at the linked page would have shown you how Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #47

Reloading = making your own bullets. hack89 Mar 2013 #66

I was saying your distraction here on a side issue was asinine. Bolo Boffin Mar 2013 #127

So what is the main issue? hack89 Mar 2013 #130

We should ban all triggers. Common Sense Party Mar 2013 #119

I love your ironic name hack89 Mar 2013 #124

No, just high-capacity magazines. Or better yet, jazzimov Mar 2013 #123

Thank you, Rude Pundit. Eloquent, as usual. (nt) Paladin Mar 2013 #11

Yes, remain legal. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #12

I know its a cliche, but how do you distinguish mortars or hand grenades or other weapons onenote Mar 2013 #16

The difference is in discreet vs. to-whom-it-may-concern targeting. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #17

They could even bring a fly tie rig. Spitfire of ATJ Mar 2013 #79

You are 100% correct. But logic fails most on this forum. n-t Logical Mar 2013 #104

You want to talk logic? Electric Monk Mar 2013 #106

I will ask you the same question I always ask.... Logical Mar 2013 #107

Looks like you answered your own question there. Ok, you've convinced me, lets do that. nt Electric Monk Mar 2013 #108

Really, you think there is any possibility? If so you are clueless. n-t Logical Mar 2013 #109

And now you're back to the "From my cold dead hands!" argument... Electric Monk Mar 2013 #110

Wow, people like you are as bad as the worst gun nuts...... Logical Mar 2013 #111

But you gunners keep arguing that incremental changes like restricting mag size are meaningless Electric Monk Mar 2013 #112

Once again, slower this time...... Logical Mar 2013 #113

They're meaningless... beevul Mar 2013 #126

But Cruz, Rubio, Inhofe, Paul don't want you to have a say about mass murderers. alfredo Mar 2013 #13

Factual inaccuracy doesn't help your argument. beevul Mar 2013 #115

People own "machine guns, mortars, bazookas". beevul Mar 2013 #125

So, what, ban Lee-Enfield (ca 1907) rifles? X_Digger Mar 2013 #33

Sure. And you can also find You Tube videos ThoughtCriminal Mar 2013 #39

Actually, that *is* shooting at and hitting a target, 300 meters away. X_Digger Mar 2013 #40

"Mad Minute" has no relation to real world shooting at people ThoughtCriminal Mar 2013 #41

"Mad Minute" was training for soldiers. It's definitely about real world shooting. X_Digger Mar 2013 #43

Another Free Throw Video? ThoughtCriminal Mar 2013 #44

No, reality X_Digger Mar 2013 #45

Shooting range - Yawn ThoughtCriminal Mar 2013 #46

Yes, I know, I shorthanded it. Any other nits to pick? X_Digger Mar 2013 #56

33 of 37 ThoughtCriminal Mar 2013 #58

33 of 37 used semi-autos with more than 10 rounds, yes. X_Digger Mar 2013 #59

It's not rocket surgery. Straw Man Mar 2013 #52

Again, clip changes timesat the range are not relevant ThoughtCriminal Mar 2013 #55

That's why I said three or four seconds. Straw Man Mar 2013 #61

He only would have needed to fire 5 rounds per minute. krispos42 Mar 2013 #136

25 rounds ThoughtCriminal Mar 2013 #137

He shot one kid 11 times krispos42 Apr 2013 #138

You know, getting shot multiple times does increase the fatalities ThoughtCriminal Apr 2013 #139

There is something to that, to an extent krispos42 Apr 2013 #140

At best, you are making a case for a more comprehensive ban ThoughtCriminal Apr 2013 #143

That's what I've been saying for three months now krispos42 Apr 2013 #144

So you and Lanza have something in common. Or did you have another point? Robb Mar 2013 #72

The Newtown massacre is a true horror, but this mini rant is ridiculous aikoaiko Mar 2013 #50

Funny then how Lanza had access to that type of weapon Pale Blue Dot Mar 2013 #118

Would the shooting be less horrific if he used pistols aikoaiko Mar 2013 #120

You didn't answer the question. Pale Blue Dot Mar 2013 #121
