The fear-mongering over semi-automatic rifles is what killed that child.

You know what would have stopped a good portion of gun massacres in this country? If guns weren't so damned easy to obtain.

Yeah, just like Prohibition got rid of alcohol. After all, what law-abiding citizen would drink once Prohibition was enacted? The only people drinking then would be criminals and they don't deserve any rights. Then maybe you and your jack-booted thugs can conjure up the gun control equivalent of The Chemists War.

It seems like that is pure conjecture on your part... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #25

Yeah, the fact that I'd lived in this country for over 50 years brush Nov 2013 #29

What do any of those have to do with this case? Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #36

A little hesitance in opening fire was in order brush Nov 2013 #38

They're also the same police who enforce the jart ban. EOTE Nov 2013 #3

"common sense gun legislation" Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #4

I shouldn't have to, but closing the gun show loophole is certainly a small start. EOTE Nov 2013 #8

"NOTHING should be banned because police would be responsible for enforcing that ban, right?" Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #12

So, you're for replacing the police force and forgetting the stupid suggestion that we shouldn't EOTE Nov 2013 #15

That isn't even close to what I said. Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #19

You suggested that we shouldn't have gun legislation because cops would enforce those laws. EOTE Nov 2013 #21

Those aren't used for lynching by cop uponit7771 Nov 2013 #5

No, they're not. EOTE Nov 2013 #9

No, just don't use them primiarly on minorities where they wouldn't use them if the person was white uponit7771 Nov 2013 #18

I'm not quite sure what you're saying/suggesting, but I have great issue with police in this country EOTE Nov 2013 #20

"I'm not quite sure what you're saying/suggesting" :eek: !!! That a disproportionate amount of people uponit7771 Nov 2013 #22

OK, I understand what you're saying and I agree entirely. EOTE Nov 2013 #24

I don't understand your post brush Nov 2013 #6

No, I'm just pointing out what an incredibly silly argument is being made. EOTE Nov 2013 #7

I get it now. I'm with you. nt brush Nov 2013 #30

I don't get G_j Nov 2013 #10

Well, let's just get those murder laws off the books! kcr Nov 2013 #11

Seriously. Laws altogether, really. I mean, police are just going to shoot you. EOTE Nov 2013 #13

Pretty twisted kcr Nov 2013 #14

False dichotomy. Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #16

Ending the murder inducing hysteria over semi-auto rifles is NOT a call to strike all laws. Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #26

So your mentioning of bans was merely incidental, right? kcr Nov 2013 #27

My god you have an utter disdain for logic. EOTE Nov 2013 #23

I'm not suggesting anything, I'm stating plainly -- if you can be truthful for 5 mins. -- Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #28

BS. You said NOTHING about any hysteria in your OP, just your contention that we shouldn't ban EOTE Nov 2013 #31

I think it's funny that when she must have realized how stupid and crazy the OP came across kcr Nov 2013 #32

It's like she's arrived at a conclusion and desperately trying to find out how she got there. EOTE Nov 2013 #34
