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.
Yes, you can buy rifles, shotguns, and ammunition at Wal-Mart. See now why guns are so ingrained in our culture and why it's impossible to get rid if them?

Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle, which is not an assault rifle. It's a magazine-fed, semi-automatic rifle, functionally the same as the Ruger 10-22s sold at Wal-Mart. It is NOT an assault rifle, because it lacks select-fire capabilities.

Yet he didn't use an assault rifle. And the gun itself is not responsible for the crime or the amount of deaths incurred. The maniac operating the gun is responsible. Better mental healthcare and education is the key to preventing these tragedies.
Magazine-fed and adjustable stock =/= assault rifle
Fully-automatic or burst-fire chambered for rifle calibers = assault rifle
Why don't you people get this? Most crimes, this one included, are with handguns. Most gun crimes in the US, nearly all of it, is done using a handgun. Rifles and shotguns are rarely used.

It's difficult to understand how something works if you've never examined it firsthand. Cars, firearms, air conditioning units, etc. If you're ignorant to the factual specifications and operations of a certain mechanism, you really have no grounds for discussion. [/quote]Im pretty sure knowing the in's and out's of how a gun works is not relevant to stopping shootings. All guns kill people. And some are better at shooting multiple people than other guns. mainly assault rifles [/quote]What kind of gun is a bushmaster? the Newtown medical examiner just said in a press conference that the majority of children murdered were done so by the gunman using the BushmasterThey sell guns at Walmart? Well you learn something new everyday
