That is pretty much nothing because shootings would happen. That is not all you can do. If it means giving up your right to shoot targets so that these shootings stop then so be it


You're ignoring the damn facts for Christ's sake! If you weren't a 4 year old member, I would be convinced your trolling. I've already stated why banning wouldn't of prevented this several times.

1. Just because they are illegal it wouldn't of stopped someone like him from getting them.
2. You don't need guns to massacre people.
3. We need to focus on the people who are sick in the damn head, the people who commit the acts. Guns are just used as a tool.
4. Guns don't purely kill things, otherwise I'd be a murderer for shooting one.


Banning them is not the solution, as a solution works

From the moment Bob's birth-cord was cut, every girl's hymen has belonged to him.

There must have been a dildo in that Wii control they found
For when they shoved it up his ass, he began to walk around, aaand
Chad Warden the fanboy, was as ABAP as can be
But the -blam!-es say, that he was mad -blam!-, and talked -blam!- on PS3

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

The bullet fired by an AR-15 is 5.56x45mm NATO or .223 Remington. It is literally a suped up .22 Long Rifle. It loses it's effectiveness after only 400 meters, and can't penetrate hard targets. A .30-06, which is a common and popular hunting round, is effective out past 1,000 meters and can shoot straight through a tree. Literally speaking, all of these weapons that the media classifies as "scary evil assault weapons" are ballistically unimpressive.

Since the invention of the German Sturmgewehr 44. An assault rifle must have select-fire capabilities (burst- or fully-automatic firing modes) and fire a rifle round. They were designed to bridge the gap between submachine guns, like the MP40, and service rifles, like the Kar 98k. They give soldiers the firing rate of a submachine gun, making them handy for CQB, while maintaining the ballistic advantage rifles have over pistol caliber submachine guns.

Just because something is magazine fed and has an adjustable stock, like the AR-15, does not mean it's an assault rifle. Many modern sporting rifles have ergonomic and aesthetic features similar to military rifles. Why? Because the collapsible stock make it possible to adjust it to your build. The magazine makes it easier and more reliable to feed. The coatings and materials make it mire durable. However, it is functionally identical to any other semi-automatic rifle, like the M1 Garand, which is a rifle, not an assault rifle.

Please stop believing what the media tells you and read the facts on the classifications, specifications, and legal status on different types of firearms.

I'll admit I'm wrong. Okay. But my opinion was based more on the assumption that the size of the round was more of a determining factor as opposed to the "media".

No, it won't stop criminals from getting and the police can't be everywhere. Plus I enjoy going to gun range and shooting on occasion.

Awful analogy. You don't walk into a classroom and throw forks at people and make them fat.

I am against Stricter Gun Control and this argument is flawed in most aspects.

Forks and spoons were meant to help feed a person.

Cars were meant to transport people.

Baseball bats are used to hit baseballs.

Firearms are meant to put a piece of metal into a target. Living, or inanimate. This argument is only good in one way, guns, cars, spoons, forks, and baseball bats all have the potential to do harm.

This will keep happening then. I like how you just give up so easily for something as serious as school shootings They. Should. Not. Happen. And there is nothing you can do about it? Why? Is it because of "muh gun rights" face it a lot of this is caused by your (and many others) love of guns for some -blam!- up reason


They will keep happening with the ban, people will have less security, the government will lose income with taxes. I'm not giving up, and I'm not saying the things should happen. I'm saying don't focus on the guns, focus on the people. I like guns because it's something I can have fun with others doing. I love going out and shooting targets. I don't even hunt for Christ's sake, and you paint me and others as f'd up.

You are truly ignorant.
You are the ignorant one here because your love of shooting targets is more important than stopping school shootings apparently.

How many school shootings happen a year?
Too many

You're a a complete moron and very ignorant, VERY ignorant. Gun control will just take the guns away from people who aren't killing others. If a criminal is going to commit a crime you thinking banning guns will make him any less capable of committing a crime?

I dont think banning guns outright would work. But i have always said you can ban assault rifles.

1.It would of made it harder
2. No you don't but it makes it a hell of a lot easier even more so with an assault rifle
3.You cant tell if some people are sick in the brain or not unless that person seeks help by them self
4. That is the purpose of them. That is why they were invented not for playing games with but for killing people.

A lot of things shouldn't happen but life isn't perfect. Just look at any 3rd world country. Kids dying and starving, getting killed because of their lack of education or terrorism. I don't see you up in arms about that, but one small massacre and "Ban guns! They're evil!".

People on this forum are terrible at looking deeper into why someone makes an argument.

Maybe he wants to ban guns in the US, because that is best thing he thinks can do to try and keep people safe, keep his friends and family safe. Insulting him is stupid, it never leaves a good outcome. I don't agree with his viewpoint, but I think he can have it.

What happened after 9/11? They made it extra difficult to access a plane with weapons

So why can't the concept of making it more difficult to access firearms be added? Or do we need more events to realize this?

The only thing that could kill that many people in a short time besides firearms is a bomb and those are very difficult to make, not something an average Joe can do.

Because America is apparently supposed to be a "first world country" all these other 3rd world ones are usually beyond hope. And one small massacre? You are sick

Whatever checks the TSA put to try to keep planes safe is retarded, they haven't caught a single terrorist, or foiled a terror plot. Ever. The terrorists just got more creative, the underwear bomber only failed because of passengers on the plane, not the TSA.

First of all, no. Just because of a School shooting? Get over your fears. Guns are not only a means of defense, they're a means of hobby and sport. Like it or not, there are people in this country who are willing to fight tooth and nail for their constitutional right to bare arms. Personally, it doesn't bother me. It's not really even a matter of liberal or conservatism for me in this case.

They haven't caught any terrorists? So that means they're doing their job cause the terrorists are smart to not even bother. And their have been plenty of terror plots that have been foiled by the FBI over the years.
