Those who advocate bans on assault and or/high capacity weapons (me included) have to acknowledge that a "number" is basically being established in terms of how many people a nut case can kill with one weapon. A magazine capacity of no more than 10 rounds seems to be a common recommendation. In fact, Dianne Feinstein (D) California just announced that she will introduce a bill immediately that limits magazine rounds to 10. So, does that mean that 10 people killed is an "acceptable" number in our society? Wouldn't 5 be better . How about 1? There are those who advocate banning guns altogether in the false hope that it would end these tragic events, but it won't. Too many guns exist and there are many other ways for nut cases to carry out mass murders. Banning guns isn't the answer. I find it a little strange that any number can be placed on magazine capacity that is "acceptable". How about if I can change magazines in three seconds (very easy, especially if one is taped to the other)? Then it takes only three seconds more to get up to twenty rounds. Another four or five seconds, depending on the location of the new magazine, to get up to thirty rounds off. Magazine limiting should be done, but just to keep some folks happy. It won't stop a determined killer in any way. So, when will we see the aftermath of your multi-magazine rampage? Are you going over to Springfield Mall to kill a bunch of Latinos? |

Fact remains, some 90% of gun crimes were committed with a gun that someone either stole or "borrowed" from a legal owner. Why don't we just make theft illegal? That should stop it. That's just stupid on so many levels. Then I suppose gun laws are even stupider. You are the one who says most criminals have stolen guns. Why bother with all of the laws about the legal sale? Yeah, those grade school kids should be armed to the teeth with automatic weapons. Why must you always go to the extreme with the drama? Do you think it helps you make your point, that only works on tv sit coms... And yes, most crimes committed with guns are with stolen guns. I've shown that. |

It won't stop a determined killer in any way. It will. Bull****. A few short practice sessions in the bedroom would make it quite easy to change 10 round magazines quite rapidly. I have been watching videos of people put into situations where they think they are drawing on a situation. Some dropped the weapon, some froze, some got the thing caught in their tee shirt... Well, there you go. We should go to ten round magazines because anyone using more than one will drop his weapon, freeze, or get the magazine caught in a tee shirt. Right. A couple of the last shootings were stopped dead in their tracks when the shooter had mechanical problems, or had a bad clip, or jammed the weapon changing clips... Like I said, 1-10 is for defense. 30 is either for penis power, or offense... The jamming of a weapon may or may not be due to the clip. You've said nothing here that shows a ten round clip to be less usable for killing than a 30 round clip - penis power or not. |

Thanks, I'd heard mention of this story but hadn't seen it yet. I believe the mother should have called the law and pressed charges when threatened with the knife. But you don't like raising taxes so how are we going to pay for all of the prisons to house these people in? Gee, the mental hospitals that got closed aren't sounding so bad now, eh? Who says I don't like raising taxes? Surely, Kevin, you can show the cite - right? Why have the Democrat presidents and Congress not opened your mental hospitals, Kevin? It's funny that you bypass legitimate questions. |

Thanks to Reagan for cutting mental health programs.... Have we not had Democrat presidents and Democrat controlled congresses since Reagan? What a stupid f'ing comment, Kevin. Are you really saying that because we've had democratic presidents and democratic congress since Reagan that the Republicans would have voted with them to re-open these facilities? What a stupid ****ing thought, Racist John. I asked you a question. Did you answer it? Did the Democrats even try? No, 'cause they don't give a ****. Here, this will indicate how much your beloved Democrats care about people: The Democrats have contributed greatly to the poor - by keeping them poor. City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level 1. Detroit, MI 32.5% 2. Buffalo, NY 29..9% 3. Cincinnati, OH 27.8% 4. Cleveland, OH 27.0% 5. Miami, FL 26.9% 5. St. Louis, MO 26.8% 7. El Paso, TX 26.4% 8. Milwaukee, WI 26.2% 9. Philadelphia, PA 25.1% 10. Newark, NJ 24.2% U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 American Community Survey, August 2007 What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty rate all have in common? Democrat mayors. Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961; Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954; Cincinnati, OH (3rd)...since 1984; Cleveland, OH (4th)...since 1989; Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor; St. Louis, MO (6th)....since 1949; El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor; Milwaukee, WI (8th)...since 1908; Philadelphia, PA (9th)...since 1952; Newark, NJ (10th)...since 1907. |
