Missing the point on mass shootings.

[Jarod]

I nailed you. you know this.

Haha, ok, if believe in that makes you feel good, but uh no.

You may very well be on to something. The M16 has been the primary infantry weapon since before Vietnam. The AR15 looks just like the M16 thus these mentally disturbed and low self esteem people can own one and instantly become a RAMBO (oh there are numerous reasons for it's popularity, other than the above). That explains the popularity of the weapon. As to the rate of fire all semiautomatic rifles are close to each other the differance is the clip capacity.

I don't think the weapon makes a much of a difference when someone goes off the deep end. We need to address the reasons why these people are driven to commit such evil and guns are not the reason just the tool.

Simple DEMOCRATS. They created the Gun Free Zone AND the psychoquackery!

There is an upcoming Amendment to the 2nd Amendment.

It needs a couple of quick, responsible, and intelligent modern clarifications and updates!

Things change over time!

The beauty of the Constitution is that there are processes written into it to amend it!

One thing worthy of notation is- the Constitution does not limit the number of SUPREME COURT justices to 9.

NEXT!

Non-sequitur fallacy. The Supreme Court does not have authority to change the Constitution.
They cannot ban or limit any gun.

A connection to these young boys who kill, yes... but that is hardly saying all owners of AR-15's are Trumppers.

None of them are.

Can't help you, or the dummies who thanked you, if that is your idea of a "mass shooting".

Pivot fallacy. Special pleading fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

"All boys named William have red hair..." Does not mean "All boys have red hair."

You people should study basic logic.

Random statement. No apparent coherency. Pivot fallacy. No argument presented.

Well OK! Fine then! We'll just add Semi-automatic Handguns with extended clips of 6 rounds or more, to the list of dangerous weapons that should be banned.

Thanks again for your convincing testimony!

Next!

White libs claim the U.S. military and the Police are white supremacist organizations.

And White libs want only the police, U.S. military, and the white libs private security to be the only ones allowed to have firearms.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Those people generally do not use AR-15’s or kill random people.

so you admit that weapons other than AR15s kill more people.....why then aren't you going after the guns that are REALLY dangerous......or better yet, go after the people using them to kill people......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

so it's outside of your idiotically limited agenda for some reason?

I guess lib'ruls only care if random people get murdered with AR-15s......if its just some black guy they know and they use a handgun its no big deal......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

No, just a different problem than I was talking about. Different causes and different solutions.

A silly attempt of, “Ya, but…”

none of the "causes" are AR-15s.........

 

[PostmodernProphet]

or kill random people

so a 5 yr old killed on the porch or front yard is not a random killing

what he really meant to say is "just black people in the inner city"........

 

[PostmodernProphet]

They do not “generally” kill random people. Do you lack a basic understanding of English or logic?

do you lack a basic understanding of dead bodies on the ground?.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Not what I said, you seem desperate to play games and change the subject… Why?

I think its because you said something stupid and we all decided to stand in a circle around you and point at it.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I nailed you. you know this.

true, but I think the crucifix was a bit over the top......

 

[Celticguy]

I'll worry about AR15s when they overtake handguns ion murders.

Pols worry about AR15s as they are the greate3r threat to them personally.

Its a good thing that pols fear constitutionally protected firearms.

That was the whole point.

The connection that seems to elude every gun nut is not one between guns and random sorts of victims or between guns and the mere availability of other types of weapons. It is the connection between a certain kind of gun and a certain kind of killer. Almost every mass killing in the United States is with an AR-15 by a white male under the age of 25, usually under the age of 20. Why is this? With the gun it is because the AR-15 has both repetitive firepower and a great macho look. With the killer it is because 1) he is hungry for that firepower and hungry for that great macho look and 2) as an angry and desperate type of young white male he is uniquely prone to having this hunger.

machismo doesnt kill. This guy had all kinds of red flags ( and dressed like a woman) and nobody saw fit to deny him a gun sale after the took his knives

 

[McRocket]

People commit mass shooting for one reason.

THEY ARE NUTS.

 

[Diesel]

No!

But, I do expect that Congress will up the number before November- to an even 10!

What would they do about tied votes?
