I’ve been for the 2nd Amendment my whole life. Until last night.

Harsh, but sadly you’re probably right.

 

TL;DR -- Republican willing to use the same hackneyed bullshit arguments we have been hearing for years while the bodies pile up.

This approach of DISCUSSION worked out really well with climate change.

 

The data disagrees with you. Look, do you want to go by the numbers or by what you want to believe? Fact is that states with stricter gun laws have less gun deaths. That's a fact that contradicts everything you just wrote.

 

Look, any weapon that is useful for killing scores of people in a short period of time from range should be illegal. Doesn't matter what you call it.

I don't have a problem with a shotgun being legal. Or a hand gun that fires six times before needing a reload. Or a rifle that can kill a bear from 400 feet but can only fire 10 times before being reloaded. The point being limit weapons that can be used to cause mass carnage.

 

Curious... doesn't a collapsible stock make a rifle more dangerous since it makes it easier to conceal and transport? And doesn't a flash suppressor make a rifle more dangerous since again, it helps a shooter avoid detection? And what would be the normal benefits of either of these for normal weapon use (personal self defense, hunting, target practice)? Also, doesn't a plastic or synthetic construction (rifle or handgun) make a weapon more dangerous since its easier to evade metal detection?

 

Keyboard warrior calls someone a coward behind the keyboard

If I had err my gun, I wud take them terrorists out...

 

liberal are right and everyone else including you is wrong so don't waste your time

 

So good w your avatar -- almost think that was the entire point. Hat tip!

 

You keep spreading this BS fake news like a Russian facebook bot. Mandalay Bay is right next to McCarran airport, aka a no fly zone.

You keep talking hypotheticals how he could have rammed a plane into the crowd, as if that's not harder than doing what he actually did. LOL.

Why do you think he did what he did? If flying a plane into the crowd was easier? Obviously doing exactly what he did (using guns, not airplanes) was easier. Law of least resistence buddy.

 

Nah bro you don't get it.

Guy could've easily steered a plane in the crowd's direction and drop several cars out of the loading bay at the same time to crush people. At that point (still airborne), he could've jumped out of the plane with a parachute and throw knives at the crowd. Upon landing, he'd then trigger an explosive he made out of Walmart products.

So when you're advocating for stricter gun laws, would you also outlaw cars, planes, knives and every single substance that could be used to make an improvised bomb? LOL.

I could go on, but there's no use talking to libtard simpletons like you.

 

LOL.

And according to him the guy is a coward.

Says the guy who lived a sheltered life mostly in his mother's basement.

If Bobby was there, he would have went rambo on them damn terrorist with his gun.

 

I wish more pro-gun people could just be like Bill O'Reilly and admit that things like this are the "cost of freedom."

These weird rationalizations like "terrorist in spain killed two people with a knife, should we outlaw knives!!!!" drive me nuts. Just say "Look, the constitution guarantees me the right to these guns and I hate that innocent people die but I'm not going to give up my guns. That's the cost of freedom. We should work to limit deaths without taking my rights away, regardless of whether it would be effective."

 

I wholeheartedly agree that gun owners should be legally responsible when they don't properly store their weapons. The NRA USED to focused on bringing awareness to gun safety issues and preaching responsible ownership.

The hunting rifle doesn't look like it has a detachable high capacity magazine. Can a hunting rifle be modified to fire at a rapid pace?

 

Not a bolt action rifle.

 

As much as it sucks, the gun control debate in this country ended at Sandy Hook when we allowed 21 first-graders to be murdered and did nothing. We allowed a vocal 10% minority (and a hell of a lobbying firm in the NRA) to dictate that no amount of gun control was acceptable in the wake of that tragedy.

Those who were fine with the murder of those babies are a cancer on this country.

 

I would abolish the second amendment, the worst mistake our forefathers ever made. But, honestly at this point I see no point in debating gun control. Everyone has their stance and won't change their mind (unless apparently they have a brush with their own mortality, which seems to push people one way or the other depending on the specific dynamics of their crisis). Politicians won't flip. Unless some secretly gun-hating democrats sneak into domination of DC, we won't have gun control; and maybe not even then. So why are we talking about it?

 

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

LAS VEGAS—In the hours following a violent rampage in Las Vegas in which a lone attacker killed more than 50 individuals and seriously injured 400 others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Monday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said Iowa resident Kyle Rimmels, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep these individuals from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what they really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

Oh no! A no fly zone? If only the hotel had been in a no mass murder zone!

I hope you realize how stupid you sound right now.

 

I give you credit for at least admitting that you are an anti-civil liberties radical. So many people lie about it.
