Then, I don't stoop to crude sexual innuendo to describe people with whom I disagree. I leave that for people who cannot present a coherent argument or facts to support their position. So what impact to you think the proposed "common-sense" gun regulations to have? The weapon used as Sandy Hook was compliant with the 1994 ban as the CT law was a mirror of that one. Cho at VA Tech used handguns with standard capacity magazines to commit his horrific act. Loughner's "Mall Ninja" magazine jammed on him allowing others to tackle him. Focusing on long guns when more people are killed by bludgeoning attacks that with all varieties of rifles and shotguns seems a poor use of resources to address criminal misuse of firearms unless one's only real purpose is to gin up a culture war against law-abiding gun owners.

Recursion is correct that AWBs generally include many shotguns and pistols. aikoaiko Jun 2014 #51
