Democrats and other assorted liberals want to ban guns because they mistakenly believe that the tool causes people to die rather than the person wielding the weapon.
Since banning guns will do next to nothing to prevent gun violence why don't we do something that is 100% effective.
Should we ban people?
Yes, let's start with the teabaggers, those guys are nutty
Guns kill people. I doubt throwing a puppy or a lemon at someone would kill them.
Strange i thought violent criminals killed people, not just with guns but all sorts of house hold items and sometimes bare hands.
I know that common sense isn't so common in today's society but shouldn't our countries focus be on how to control and punish violent criminals? I've been a firearms enthusiast for 20 years and never assaulted anyone. There are millions of us.
I sent over 200 rounds down range today and the only thing that got hurt was the paper targets. Criminals are the issue here.
Only a full-automatic weapon can fire at the rate of fire you mention. Legally owned full-automatic weapons have only been used illegally TWO times in this country since 1934!
There was a doctor that killed another doctor with a legally owned MAC-11 .380 machine pistol in Lodi, OH in 1992.
There was a police officer that used one illegally: On September 15th, 1988, a 13-year veteran of the Dayton, Ohio police department, Patrolman Roger Waller, then 32, used his fully automatic MAC-11 .380 caliber submachine gun to kill a police informant, 52-year-old Lawrence Hileman. Patrolman Waller pleaded guilty in 1990, and he and an accomplice were sentenced to 18 years in prison.
Full-automatic firearms are strictly regulated & extremely expensive. So, what exactly are you advocating? I advocate people like you learn what you're talking about before making ridiculous posts!

And I don't see the need for anyone to have a gun that can spray 16-20 bullets in 4 seconds. Having that kind of weaponry available makes murderous people more successful.
Just those that reside in the confederacy wing of their brains.
What does this even mean - especially in respect to the topic of the thread?
