Fair enough, but I never said anything near "no one needs a 30 round clip". I was talking to a friend today and he happened to bring out his Chinese SKS with a 30 round clip. It was a pretty "tactical" looking weapon, what really caught my attention was the rounds, how sharp they were. Always thought bullets were more rounded. We were talking about the advantages of a 30 clip and agreed, it's just fun... but really not "necessary" for any legal use of the weapon. He thinks you guys are goofy getting all bent out of shape because I asked the obvious question BTW. Either way, it was interesting to talk so someone who had so much experience, and wasn't all defensive... so I could actually get to the point of my questions. When you absolutely lose it and decide your best way out is to shoot up a school or movie theater or dirtbike race and then commit suicide by cop, you'll probably want a fully auto, milled receiver AK47 with a 100-round magazine. And you would probably kill less than with the semi auto. After the gun climbs and puts most of the rounds in the ceiling, most will still be alive. |

Proof you have no remaining ties whatsoever to the Democratic Party. No self-respecting Democrat ever refers to the party as "Democrat." It's a use fostered by Rush and taken up by Republican stooges. Indeed. It is the Democratic Party, and and individual acolyte is a Democrat and more than one are Democrats. Thus, the California legislature was Democratic, made up mostly of Democrats. And it still is, and still overspending like crazy! Only Democrats overspend, right??! Nope, but the Dem's these days seem to be making it an art. |

California doesn't define the United States. It really does define a lot of the US. We seem to be the cutting edge of laws. I was referring to the fact Reagan was governor of California then and not president. |

It's always the Latinos elsewhere. I don't live in the District of Columbia or Prince Georges County, and you live a lot closer to the District and PG County than I do. But, heck, you've got MS-13 right close to you...no need to drive across state lines or into another county. Your view that MS-13 isn't in Calvert County is a myth. You believe that since you, residents of Calvert County, are remote, rural or otherwise worthless is another myth. We did have a meth lab in operation about five years ago about 10 miles away. The sheriff closed it down and the rumors are the sheriff informed its operators they had a couple of hours to leave the county or they'd all be shot dead in an even bigger raid. But I think the operators of the lab were white trash like you, not minorities. Sounds like a solution you are familiar with, the threat of violence to gain compliance. Makes you wonder if the the Democrats are going to do what the ChiComs want them to do and disarm the US populace. Or, is that how you dealt with your children and that is why they don't talk to you anymore. |

How the hell would that stop someone who wanted to kill twenty kids? It might make him a little slower, but not much! Yeah, lets make it as easy as possible. That was kind of a stupid reply. C-4 would make it *very* easy. In fact, I'm wondering why some jihadist hasn't strapped a bomb to her chest and walked into a school cafeteria during lunchtime. Yeah, it wasn't the time for sarcasm. You got my point though. If the goal is to make the killing of 20 kids take 10 seconds longer, then it's a stupid goal! Do you get the point? Look who's being stupid... the goal is to make the potential killing of 20 kids result in less than 20 dead kids. The fewer the better. I don't buy your assertions. I'd much rather find a solution that would prevent the killing of all twenty, not just allow the killing of 19. I guess that's a hard one. It is. I don't think it's effective to hold out for perfection. And it's all politics on both sides of the argument... seems like an excuse to do nothing. I'll take improvement. It's "politics" to not want innocent children dying?? You ARE a ****ing moron. Agreed, Kevin. **** you john, just because I don't need a penis gun like you.... You are a ****ing asshole to the max... |

I doubt you could find a safe place to hunt anywhere in PG. We used to shoot quail just South west of 210 and Oxon Hill Rd and we would hunt ducks down there on the river where that new metroplex is now. I am also amazed at how built up Chuck County was the last time I was up there (July) When you get down south of Leonardtown it starts looking familiar but there are still a lot of new houses. You can't get much further south than Leonardtown. We go a little further south to the Navy rec center by Solomon's Island. Great place for camping. We've been taking the kids and grandkids there for a week+ the past couple years. Leonardtown is SW of the Navy Rec Center. No wonder we lost the war against Vietnam, with soldiers like you who couldn't read a map. WE "lost" the war because people like you didn't pay their taxes so that the troops could be provided with the best equipment available. |

Seems as if there are a couple questions to be answered. First, why did a person decide to massacre a room full of kids. And second, why target assault rifles because of this. He used pistols. ------------------------------------------------------ My understanding is that he used an assault type rifle or clone of one to kill the children and adults. He used a pistol to kill himself. Raises a disturbing question though. 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. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------- There's no question that killing someone with a single shot derringer is possible. That's not really the question or issue. What has to be resolved in order to make any kind of meaningful gun control reform possible in this country is to define what the designed purpose of a weapon is. Defensive? Offensive? Yes, you can still kill with a gun primarily designed as a defensive weapon. But why make guns primarily designed as "offensive" weapons generally available to Joe Doe public? Doesn't make any sense. I agree. I see no need for AR-15s or the like in the marketplace. My point is that outlawing them would have little effect on a determined killer, who could use a 'hunting rifle', like the ones I showed you, with 10-round magazines (or 30 if they're not outlawed) and accomplish the same thing. But, I'm all for outlawing assault weapons, and magazines which hold more than 10 rounds. I just don't think it would make much difference to a killer. If you feel that way then why support a ban? The AR15 is a useful weapon for hunting and recreational shooting and the Colts are a military collectors piece. Many will say that my Ruger 10/22 is a deadlier weapon than a higher-powered rifle like the .223. Evidently the ..22LR will not simply pass through the point of entry like a larger caliber, it will do more damage to more organs. |
