"And the NRA is just as wrong when it opposes efforts to restrict drum magazines that can hold 100 rounds, such as the one the gunman in Colorado used to mow down moviegoers.
Seriously, please offer me a reasonable and rational explanation as to why someone who isn't a law enforcement officer needs to fire off that many bullets?"
Why would a police officer need to fire off that many bullets?
There's that phrase again:
The leftists are simply using the recent massacre to just get the guns out of the hands of the citizens.
They don't care about criminals having guns at this point. In fact, the more the better so that the populace caves to gun control out of fear of their lives.
Seriously, the anything can be an "assault weapon". My sword is sharp enough to take off limbs. That can be an assault weapon because it can be used to assault people and it's a weapon
Im so sick of hearing "Assault Weapon". When will people relize anything could be an "assault weapon" if said item is used to assault someone!
I don't get that. I understand people not knowing/caring about guns, but I expect people here to know English--especially those media idiots! Seriously, does she think a semi-circle is round?I was talking to my sister a couple of days ago, and she brought up the Colorado mass-murder. I corrected two errors in her thinking (more, probably, but those for sure)
1) I don't know about the state she lives in, but it is not illegal to carry a firearm in a movie theater everywhere. Nor should it be.
2) Semi-automatic means one bullet for every one squeeze of the trigger. You guessed it: she thought, as most do, that that term meant, "squeeze the trigger and it fires till it's empty".
Just as the antis wanted.
We have much education to do, one sheep at a time.

So if a guy goes around bashing folks with a 2 x 4 will they want to ban the assault 2 x 4's ?
Only the ones over ten feet. A 2x4 that long is just excessive for the average citizen. Only contractors should be allowed to purchase those.
I'm telling you...*snip*

Who? What? Where? The colonies? Soviets? Kazakhstan? Where does all this f**ken paranoia come from. Waco, revenuers? Chill, this is America. The gov't has hellfire missiles, tanks, tactical nukes, and chemical weapons. We don't need 'assault weapons' and 100 rnd drums. We just 'want' them. If the gov't gets that bad that you think it's time for a revolution, then get the military on your side.
The crucial point on this issue, and one I've gone to lengths to explain in person when possible. Many, including even some gun owners, still don't know this. They see or hear "semiautomatic" - they think machine gun (like they saw in a Hollywood movie). Regarding the AK47 specifically, in addition to an image of being fully automatic at all times, they seem to think it is some kind of superweapon with power far beyond its actual capabilities.Semi-automatic means one bullet for every one squeeze of the trigger. You guessed it: she thought, as most do, that that term meant, "squeeze the trigger and it fires till it's empty".

Mmm-k.
You missed my point. But that's ok.
