I see no need to own an automatic weapon, or a tank. There's quite literally no reason to own one.

There's no reason to own a lot of things, yet people still own them.
See, I understand owning a small firearm like a handgun or shotgun for home protection. A hunting rifle for hunting. An automatic weapon serves no purpose but to destroy the thing it's pointed at with a high rate of fire and large number of projectiles. Nothing good can come of that.

Which is exactly why it is such a pain in the ass to get one. Most people that own one are responsible people and usually ex law enforcement/military using them for recreational purposes anyway.

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.

So, a fun afternoon at the range with friends and family is bad?

3-gun competitions are bad?

Shooting the coyote(s) that is/are attempting to get into my neighbor's fence and eat the goats is bad?

You can use a tool for something other than its intended purpose, and the intended purpose for something as versatile as modern rifles can vary vastly between individuals.

It's not black-and-white.

It's also really fun to shoot, idk if you ever have before...99.9999% of gun owners are very responsible and law abiding citizens.

And if his mother didn't have the guns.....

Because she knew one day, he would shoot up an elementary school...


So she didn't know her son was mentally disturbed?

Your implying that all mentally disturbed kids want to kill people.

Your wrong.

Elementary school, that's that shi.t I don't like! Bang bang!

No slave in history has been allowed to posses one.

You might want to brush up on your history brotatoe. Slaves have been allowed to use weapons many times throughout history.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

no, really pro gun people want it to be NEAR impossible to get any gun.
I was under the impression that pro-gun people wanted it to be easier to get firearms.
meh, I'm on my phone, and I was in a rush, simple mistake that was just fixed
People who support gun control just want to keep ridiculous weapons out of the hands of people that shouldn't have them. Our system mostly supports that now.
Im talking about the far far, well, left (only because I'm very hard pressed to fined a moderate liberal, independent, or conservative who wants to get make it near impossible own any form of gun)

Though, personally, I see no purpose for a weapon outside of a handgun or shotgun for home defense.
I agree, however, I'm with Kruathammer on this. Here in NJ, it's illeagal to own anything other then pistols and shotguns because of the congestion.

Did I say that? But she should know about her son's disturbances and should know that maybe she shouldn't keep a gun where he could get it. That's what common sense tells you but she doesn't have any and her psycho evil, ugly ass pile of -blam!- son killed 20 kids so -blam!- him and -blam!- her.

You're making connections that aren't there. Does it mean that mentally disturbed people will kill others? No. But never has there been a case of a shooting where the shooter was mentally stable.

All poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles.

Because every little old lady needs to be armed with military-grade weapons....
I really wish people at least attempted to know what they're talking about. Nothing he had was "military-grade."

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Technically he wasn't turned away. He walked away after declining the background check and 14 day waiting period. You are making it out like the system caught him early. It didn't, he just refused to wait.
