It's scale that I kind of have a problem with. Maybe efficiency would be a better term.

If you look at stats it's something between 2 to 3 shots when there is an altercation. Anyone who has shot, also knows that after that, hiding or running is probably a better solution lol! But I don't want to get too bogged down with what-if scenario's that do nothing but foster a bunch of Rambo want to be's day dreams of zombie... Moreover, I don't buy into needing these type of weapons to keep the government in order. In today's America, only a military force can do that.

I think 99% of the American public would be well served with a six gun, a shotgun, and a good bolt action/lever-gun. I know I would be fine with that - though I love my semi's and would miss them.

I don't understand the need for weapons designed to kill on mass, or used to provide a wall of lead that is 90% inefficient in the public forum. But that's just me and take that for what it is... a dude who's lived in one of the most violent society's in the western hemisphere - Kingston Jamaica.

What a dump!! I hope America never becomes like that!
Just how would you classify the individuals in Afghanistan that have managed defeat one super power and hold off another for thirty or forty years?

The facts are out, the guy used two pistols. The so called assault rifle was left in his murdered mom's stolen car. I'm sure that will continue to be irrelevant to the upcoming assault on our rights.

I'm done with this thread. I've got a freshly honed by MAGPIE, Challenge razor that needs a test drive and the weather outside is conducive to doing something besides wasting my energy with this.

Thanks to everyone for keeping it civil.

I shall continue to be a bitter clinger.
