And, making them more expensive does what, Mr. Free Markets?

Pete has become a bleeding heart Dave. In a just society, poor people should be able to afford an arsenal of AK-47s.

To protect themselves from the mean government that's been giving them foodstamps, welfare checks and free apartments their whole lives?

or those Obama-phones that the nutters on the right are always screaming about. Can't have people getting unemployment insurance benefits able to respond to job offers. Now can we?

The Bushmaster and hollow point rounds have only one purpose- to kill. Anyone who says differently is delusionary.

So the government is going to round them up?

Care to bet on that?

Only allows rich people to have them. Which is OK because obviously the left now believes they are worthy.

Of course that's not strictly true. If some nut was serious they would save and buy one.

Yep. They'd deny their own kids Christmas presents to raise the money....Ostensibly so they can protect themselves from the government. When the only people shooting at us are the people who steal (Or buy) guns from----them.

Bet on what? That the government is going to try or that they'll succeed? Either way, no. I won't bet. Doing it would require more courage than we're used to seeing from government.

It's the right thing, though. We need a mandatory buy-back like they did in Australia.

[piece-itpete]

That's just it John, they won't do it. Most not even for a buy back program.

Dave, I mean the nuts that shoot kids, not target shooters.

We won't know unless we try.
