You are not the only person who could purchase 20 rounds of ammo if that were the limit. SkeleTim1968 Jul 2016 #219

Since most weapons are designed Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #221

Pointing to the length of time to rid society of magazines isn't a good reason SkeleTim1968 Jul 2016 #223

What gun law would have prevented the Dallas shootings? n/t SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2016 #3

Reagan signed a law to ban assault weapons but in 2002 or 2003 republican let that ban expire Botany Jul 2016 #5

Not to nitpick but the AWB Clinton signed (which expired in 04), did not ban the dallas-used rifle jmg257 Jul 2016 #8

I suggest we tear up the precious 2nd A and proceed to go to the laws in other countries where CTyankee Jul 2016 #12

What is? Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #58

That people should NOT possess any device designed to kill massive amounts of humans... uponit7771 Jul 2016 #13

Ban them from being in people's possession. CTyankee Jul 2016 #19

Yeap, notice when that wording is used they usually come back with some non sequiter on the issue uponit7771 Jul 2016 #29

yep. my point entirely...and thanks CTyankee Jul 2016 #41

"who wont even uphold what they've already ruled on"? SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2016 #71

Where has the USSC ruled Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #131

Usual strawman, I said ANY DEVICE... I also notice you haven't replied to my affirmation of uponit7771 Jul 2016 #139

Well my definition of massive is bigger than your stated Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #140

What is a massive amount? Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #28

FBI definition is four or more shot or killed in one incident (link) uponit7771 Jul 2016 #34

Well, that would be almost every weapon ever made. Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #37

Many devices weren't meant or designed to kill massive amounts of humans in an efficient way uponit7771 Jul 2016 #49

An old style six shooter was Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #52

Strawman, I'm talking about any device designed to kill massive amounts of humans efficiently... uponit7771 Jul 2016 #59

If your definition of "massive" if four or more people SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2016 #62

Well machine guns are highly regulated and few own them Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #110

So hundreds? Just affirming... tia uponit7771 Jul 2016 #112

Not my definition and its a strawman to narrow the critieria to the FBI definition. I'm pretty clear uponit7771 Jul 2016 #88

You used that as the definition standard, not us. Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #91

Another non answer, you're not interested in a conversation... just retorts and that's the FBI defi uponit7771 Jul 2016 #94

I stated the definition at least twice Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #99

There are more devices designed to kill massive amounts of people other than what you named.... uponit7771 Jul 2016 #104

nope... false dichotomy uponit7771 Jul 2016 #105

You're the one who set the parameters SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2016 #108

The FBI set 4 and I asked you and the other poster what would be the number that would define uponit7771 Jul 2016 #111

I know, he came up with that number Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #118

I'm not running away from it at all, I'm letting you set the standard of what massive is uponit7771 Jul 2016 #143

Well, lets see Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #145

Makes no difference what the device is, ANY device DESIGNED to kill a massive amount of people uponit7771 Jul 2016 #107
