Lots of mass shootings with M1 Carbines these days? Or M-1s , or '03s for that matter? jmg257 Feb 2016 #25
Not that many with the AR15 either DonP Feb 2016 #26

I disagree TeddyR Feb 2016 #21

The federal judiciary may in fact be anti-gun rights TeddyR Feb 2016 #42

Regarding the Sandy Hook gun discntnt_irny_srcsm Feb 2016 #35
No tactical advantage to having a weapon with a large capacity removable magazine? jmg257 Feb 2016 #36
IMHO not a substantial tactical advantage discntnt_irny_srcsm Feb 2016 #40
I agree somewhat when facing unarmed 1st graders there is no large advantage jmg257 Feb 2016 #44
Not that it's any consolation but Lanza was dropping half-spent magazines. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2016 #53

How come the government never gets sued for the guns they lose or sell; that get misused? JonathanRackham Feb 2016 #20
