To bad you didn't wait...

I'm not sure it was a misinformed rant - I read it more as Pixel is sincerely upset and angry over this shooting, and is venting his frustration.

I do not understand why it matters what gun it was. People were shot dead with a gun. 28 people, the majority of which were children. Does knowing the correct calibre and automatic-status of the weapon used make any difference?

It's so sad to see these things unraveling, the topic has been discussed all day at my job today. I feel like instead of trying to hunt down pot growers, hunt down the gun runners; you don't here about the ATF making stings on illegal weapons trades anymore, just pot, meth, and then these situations. You can't blame the guns for these events though, the person holding the weapon is responsible. Some say take the guns away problem solved, well they outlawed liquor and pot all together at different times in history and you see how that turned out. If someone wants a gun they will get it regardless. I would rather have people with guns that are traceable, registered, and the ability to distinguish rifleing between them in these situations vrs. some random guy w/ an illegal gun that doesn't have any way of being traced b/c they are illegal so he shouldn't have it. It's like some one getting stabbed and the gov't taking away all the knives; you can't punish all for one person's deeds. Last, I want my gun to help protect me from nutcases like this who manage to get ahold of a weapon. Just how I feel about it, so nothing personal or any shots towards anyone.

Yes look at the title of the thread same as the Liberal media is playing out

There will never be "Gun Control" in the USA but another "Assault Weapon" ban is possible, that could gain traction just like it did before on pure fiction, which is why it was rolled back it didn't make a difference at all..

The un-informed spouting and listening to fiction, sorta like the un-informed thinking they are going to get free heatlh care or even cheaper health care
as their Insurance premiums keep going higher...

Fiction to cause panic, which every time I see it I will show it for what it is

I am going to a gunshow tomorrow in Roseville Ca.What i will see is maybe 10 vendors selling all manner of parts for assault weopens,These are not rifles that people use to put food on the table,these are rifles best suited for killing people.
I will see vendors selling case lots of .223 ammo (1000 rnds) why?
Mental health issues are rampant world wide,openly making available (and leagally) non-sporting weopens,huge capacity magazines, as much ammo as you can have,is stupid,JMO

A very good question, as these firearms are not especially designed for pin point accuracy like a hunting firearm is, and they are made to looser tolerances than a sporting firearm so that they will work under conditions that might see a sporting firearm fail, but which is the reason for the loss of pin point accuracy. And last but not least the ammunition that is designed for these things, is specifically designed for wounding, although obviously it will be effective in causing death. This is because, in battle, a dead man can either be buried by one or left for pick up later, but a wounded man will take four other men off the field of battle getting the wounded one to safety. Assault rifles are just an advancement on a modern sling shot in that they fire faster and with much the same degree of accuracy, but with less skill required for the use of the rifle.

I'm not in favour of these blanket bans, or banning in general, as I've seen that as a failure since it hasn't stopped gun crime in this country. And a system of licencing is only worthwhile if it requires some testing of the user and is issued for the user and not the firearm. Gun control doesn't really succeed if you have a human mind that is willing to commit a crime. Regardless of what the crime is.

Makes zero differance whatsoever what weopen was used, but I can assure you it was not .45/70 sharps.glen will will set us all straight on this subject post haste.

Sir, I take issue with you for not even waiting for the blood to dry from this horror, to start flinging mud at your fellow countrymen. I doubt highly, by reading your posts from today, that you are, or ever were a member of the NRA. And I doubt also that you believe in God, who as you have put it, "forsaken" America. I'm not sorry for this rant, I cant let crap like this slide.

Yep as soon as the Facts come out, any question you don't understand just ask and I will explain that most of the drivel you posted is not correct it is just Liberal tag lines spoon fed to you.. ie: Never let a good tragedy go to waste right ???

I seriously doubt your NRA background too
