Every gun store, Walmart, Pawn Shops, they are all bought out. It's all gone,
amost every gun and all the ammunition save for a few 22 shorts and some
nearly obsolete caliber stuff. All I have seen left is a few 22 cricket guns and
shotguns.

So, where'd you get the fake tears talking point? Was it on the NRA website or spouted by Limbaugh or Hannity? It really just serves to show you as less than serious in your arguments. You might also be taken more seriously if you used figures of speech accurately. The saying is about one being his own worst enemy.

I'd say this is prima facie evidence of the paranoid derangement of the gun nuts on the right (for the record, I'm a gun owner but didn't race out and buy anything).

It'd be loverly, as long as you were on the side getting the guns.
And others of us live in the fantasy that we are all still in Dodge City in the wild wild west.

I wonder if he would have gone to the trouble of making or acquiring a bomb had there been a gun handy?
There are plenty of guns handy in Syria. Some weapons are more effective than others. Like I'm pretty darn sure you can take out more people in a shorter amount of time with a bomb than you can with an assault rifle. Just as you can take out a whole lot more people in a much shorter period of time with one of these;

...than you can trying to run over people with a Cadillac in a movie theater or choke 100 people in a crowded church with your bare hands.

Your arguments are stupid. I don't see why you even continue to waste your time, or ours, making them.

Dave

The last assault weapons ban was a joke. Remove this and change that screw
and it's legal. Order lower receiver here, order buttstock here, order grenade
launcher here. Fed Ex delivers and DIY. Maybe it saved some lives, I hope it
did but there were work arounds.

So here's a conspiracy theory for you. There are those who posited that Obama set up the Sandy Hook shooting so that he could advance gun control. It is just as plausible that the whole incident was staged by the NRA and the rest of the gun industry so that they could profit from creating a scare that the gubmint is coming after people's guns. Just sayin'.

Oh, Bull**it. And you aren't at all "emotional" about the subject? Spare me.

It's because your arguments are vapid. What GOOD purpose do these weapons serve in our society? Huh? Why do you think we have such a horrid gun violence record in this country? Because we have more criminals or crazy people (Per capita.) than everyone else?

NO, IT'S BECAUSE OUR GUN LAWS ARE TOO LAX.

We are awash in deadly weapons that a criminal or crazy person simply steals one or buys one from careless owners and secondary market dealers.

When are you going to figure that out?

Dave

See, Jack. We have something that we agree on.

Wasn't it you who mentioned here one time about mandatory safety training in order to get a gun license? If so, we would agree on that one too.
