However, I'm pretty sure that more people have been deliberately and directly killed with firearms than any other invention of man. Because that IS the primary purpose of them and always has been.

So, stop it with this ".......disingenuous and naive.", because it is neither. The only act of naivete' taking place around here, is your assumption that the rest of us are dumb enough to believe the nonsense you spew.

That is what gets me is the line of shi* we need background checks for stores but not gun shows. You ever look at how many gun shows are held in Tuscon and how close to the Mexican border it is? (hint: close enough they make tunnels).
That is as bad the lame clip argument, spin all you wish, fact is if Lanza had to change clips more often it is quite possible more would have made it to safety. It is a fact, period.

Quote:

Lanza shot those students. At some point he stopped shooting, either because the Bushmaster jammed or he made an error reloading it, giving six children the opportunity to escape. Soto had placed another group of five children in a closet, where they were found alive by authorities.

Maybe the same at the movie theater and everywhere else this applies.

Meanwhile, the GOP downplays the carnage in Newtown as inevitable and the necessary cost of owning unlimited arms while focusing on enemy combatant status for the surviving perp of the Boston killings (where one-sixth as many people were murdered). Go figure.

I take it you mean successful terrorist bombing? Right to mind come the American taliban shoebomb guy and the Xmas day Detroit underwear bomber guy, also that Times Square.SUV one I am quite sure there are many more failed attempts.
