Do Republicans really think that a person could inflict the same damage with a hunting rifle or handgun, that?

me :)

Guys guys guys listen.... I've got it!!!! lets just ask everyone in the world to stop making new weapons. Of course they will all want to, who would not right? Yeah! We can shut down all the weapons manufacturers in the world (I'm sure it's only a few million jobs, totally not a big deal).

After we are sure guns are no longer being made we can then ask everyone like the Taliban, IRA, various mafias and street gangs to pretty please turn in all of their weapons and they will get a nice $50 Walmart gift card in return.

Oh lets not forget the law abiding citizens, military and law enforcement agencies (which they will no longer need because our enemies and potential threatening nations will have disarmed themselves)

Then after all the weapons in the whole wide world are all gone we can skip through fields of daisies and rainbows and live long happy lives because without guns all violence will just vanish and everyone will be happy... That sounds like a solid plan so what are we waiting for? Oh boy!!! Lets cuddle....

You people that want to or even think we should take away all the firearms (or regulate anything) are complete fools. Do you really think that even for a second that is possible? If so you should move onto an island in the Pacific and live out your days by yourself. Better yet take all of the other like minded individuals with you. Taking weapons away from people including law abiding citizens is not the answer and you are a moron...

Guess what? Criminals are not going to give a rats behind that guns are illegal, or banned, or regulated. They will still obtain them illegally and use them on all of the population that you brain dead people just disarmed... good job.

I wonder what will go through your head when someone breaks into your house and does horrible things to you and your family. I bet you will wish that you had one, just one weapon... one chance to protect yourself and your loved ones.

What about when someone comes in through your daughters window? I'm sure they just want to have tea and crumpets...

Or how about that time when you are walking through the mall and someone starts shooting people? What if you had that weapon concealed on your person and used your chance to engage that target and save lives? Perhaps it is better to just run away in fear like sheep?

Open your eyes people and stop living in a bubble. The world is a dangerous place and anyone should have the right and the chance to protect themselves.

I think the process to obtain a firearm should be more extensive absolutely! I cannot agree more there. But there will always be bad people ready to do bad things to good people. Let them have that chance to defend themselves because the bad guys will always have weapons.

May the Lord watch over the families of the victims...

I am the Sheepdog.

Youre right but everyone trying to guiess this and that with Adam will not bbring back those kids at all unfortunately and God rest their souls and Families but even if DC does or did outlaw these automatic weapons, criminals and such will still be able to find them somewhere just like all these illegal drugs make it into the US everyday one way or another and everyone has a price and will sell you anything for the right price

I would venture to guess, in Missouri, as in Oklahoma, you can carry any or all weapons that are legal to hunt with during the rifle season. Bow season is the only season you can't carry a firearm. Primitive firearms season is limited to black powder arms. If you don't know how to contact your local game ranger, call the sheriff's office and he can get you in touch.

If there had at least been an armed security guard present, do you think this kid would have gotten any more than two shots off before his @ss were dropped?

Rethink Clinton's "gun-free zone" crap.

Would it have been better if he went in with a pipe bomb that can be made with stuff you can buy at any hardware store? How may children were killed and hurt in China with a knife?

Edit

Maybe none were killed in that one attack but in 2010 18 were killed in attacks.

I can inflict much more damage with a hunting rifle as I can do it from 200 yards away and with more accuracy and greater penetration.

And if those weapons were banned, what would somebody do if he were attacked by a horde of 6 year old deer?

They DO know that the bushmasters are killing machines, but they try to distract from the issue by arguing about "clips" and "magazines".

I don't believe that but I don't think that those guns should be illegal. Everyone should have one.

yes they could be just as dangerous.
