Skyrad 0 #4 December 17, 2012 I saw nothing in that article stating that she or the boy were either Christians or conservatives. Quote Diane Feinstein, a Democrat Senator, has announced that she will introduce a bill to ban assault weapons when congress opens next month. I doubt she has the first clue what an assault weapon is. Still why walk though life when you can ride on the band wagon.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

OHCHUTE 0 #12 December 17, 2012 A lot of do gooders in USA home school as they think school is corrupt, evil, etc. They think they can do a better job. This parent kept her son home till 7th grade. No wonder he went nuts. Being locked up at home with a fearful mom, not getting socialized at school could be the reason. BAN HOME SCHOOLING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
regulator 0 #13 December 17, 2012 More from the liberal media creating fictional alternate realities of reasons 'why this happened'. Lets just ban everything that could be used as a means to kill someone else...which since a jumper intentionally sabotaged another jumpers gear in the past then all skydiving should be banned...as well as cars, sharp objects...so make sure you get all your potato skinning done ahead of time...oh and lets remove all prayers in school because some athiest got offended. Each of these are equally assinine in relation to each other. And definately ban all scissors...lord knows those sharp things can kill people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that caliber is smaller than most used for hunting So I will ask this again what of the following rifles has more firepower A sport Browning BAR chambered in a .308? Or and AR15 type rifle chambered in a .556?"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

tkhayes 348 #23 December 18, 2012 no one is talking about banning airplanes. But if you want the comparison..... airplanes are STRICTLY REGULATED. they have qualifications to meet to use them, require massive amounts of very expensive training, demonstration of skills and that costs a lot of money and it is all on you, the user. As a result, owning and flying an airplane is actually a very expensive proposition and a pain in the ass. And then if you do not keep up that training, you LOSE your privileges to do anything with that airplane. So most likely your airplane will simply be LOCKED up in a hangar, unavailable to anyone else. And every facet of the airplane is regulated, not only the use of, but the purchase of, and the availability of parts, and the methods by which the parts are installed and methods by which the airplane is used. And by the way, many airplanes ARE actually banned in the USA - they cannot be flown here (at least for commercial use) because they are not certified to fly in the USA under our standards. And this is all done with public safety in mind. But thanks for the comparison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is why it is the choice of the US military for the most part. light weight, accurate, 3000fps for the most part - which part of 'high power' is not being expressed here? Your comparison to .308 or whatever is moot. they are all 'high power' and your definition is not really relevant to the argument. No ban on assault rifles because they don't get used in massacres? This is a high power, high capacity assault rifle. Yes there are 'higher' power and 'higher' capacity, but will the right clips, purchased almost anywhere, this thing can knock off 100+ rounds, 20 children and 7 staff members in record time. already proven.
