Thank you, Jimmy.

StraightRazorHeaven, We don't give up our firearms in American. I respect your belief in no firearms and your freedom to insult forum members across the pond.

I will go out on a limb here StraightRazorHeaven and say that there are probably several of your Countrymen, who wish they not surrendered their firearms.

StraightRazorHeaven, you want to study criminals? Then ride along with officer anywhere in the U.S. during a shift, your next trip to America. OR,,, walk down the streets of L.A, Miami, Atlanta, Detroit, Philly at night, by yourself taking notes on a note pad.

Your verbiage in your post speaks loudly of your idealogy; ever increasing divide between the rich and the poor in the USA, death is no punishment, available for the masses & the most revealing statement of all from you, "readily governable method of distributing firearms to those who will use them properly",,WOW !

If you know the law in the USA, and you are not a criminal to begin with, you would have to be a complete idiot to convert a legal semi automatic firearm into a full auto . You would be breaking state and federal laws and if you were caught in possession of it, and convicted of possessing it, you would become a convicted felon and lose your right to keep and bear arms.

The argument you're presenting is known as a 'straw man' IIRC. BTW, anyone who commits a crime with a handgun in the state of FL is guilty of a first degree felony with a mandatory 25 years with no possibility of parole.

BTW, the only entity that I am aware of that was knowingly distributing automatic weapons to criminals was the Obama administration. I think they've discontinued the practice.

One of the safest countries in the world. Switzerland. What to know why? Because every adult over 18 has spent a mandatory tour of duty in the military. After their service, each goes on inactive reserve. Each is required to keep and maintain both a Fully Automatic rifle and a sidearm. Its hard to commit a crime when every one has the arms. The govt can mandate healthcare with a tax penalty. I believe it is time to mandate the second amendment and FORCE gun ownership. That will put people like a Mr. Holmes in his place.

There are hundreds of laws in every country that should be rescinded, times change and so should the legal system.

May I please ask your age?

Out of all the full auto weapons that have been purchased or acquired legally there has been only a couple people that have used them to harm another person in a crime. Illegally acquired ones is another story. In the end I think it all comes down to who owns the weapon either it be full auto or semi auto.

OR, you can hunt with a .50 cal. To each his own.

They insured that their patrons would be victims, one armed citizen could have put quick end to the "Massacre" but instead of "an armed society being a polite society", many in our society insist on disarmament of the lawful citizen in favor of them being prey for the ruthless and insane. How many dead and how many wounded for the sake of someone elses whimsical view of a perfect world?

Thank You !
