At least 18 kids dead....

The government won't let me get a shoulder fired missile launcher.
Why?
The constitution says I can have it.

Say Wha...?
That ain't what the constitution meant?

Oh, okay, my baaaahd.

I guess the constitution meant that we can only have the kind of "arms" where a person can go into a theater or school and kill large numbers of people, right?

Or, maybe the Constitution meant that only ET far right wing AOWM (angry old white men) are allowed to possess such "arms".

I don't remember seeing elitetrader.com mentioned in the constitution, though.

(Speee...Gun control is on the way.
And that's gonna be a good thing.)

Enough is enough!

Quote from bigarrow:

Should we limit fire power, we do it now. Should the limit be automatic, semi automatic, 100 round boxes, 10 shot clips, restrictive licensing, everyone carry in the open and concealed with no restrictions what so ever ?? Those are the questions and it isn't black and white, there are many gray areas, both sides should admit there are gray areas, that would be a start.

Edit: I'm being serious

Civilians have no need for full auto weapons. A more thorough background check should be required. Tighten security in schools and malls. Enforce existing laws. Anything else is just a dog and pony show to appease the hand wringers.
Hardore criminals and physco's will not be stopped by anything but a bullet, be it at their own hand or that of another.

There are huge hoops to jump through to own a full auto weapon. I've only seen them at shooting ranges. The average Joe can't get one. The same with silencers and other exotic devices.

Good points, brother Captain.

Lanza put the Bushrangerâs maximum six-rounds-a-second rate of fire to devastating effect, killing them all.

The rifle left in the car was a Bushmaster and it was not fully automatic and was not used in the school. The willingness of the media to fabricate in order to support its political agenda is alarming. I guess this is what passes for journalism in the UK.

angry old white men

What do you think you are?

You can stomp your feet and throw yourself and the floor kicking and screaming but your hissy fit isn't going to make any difference. Many of us will not give up our constitutional right to bear arms and that is that.

The idea is that an armed populace can't be pushed around by a tyrannical government... or by a bunch of candy-assed liberals with pitchforks and torches.

The best you can do is to set an example and give up your own weapons. I'll assume from your posts that you don't own a single firearm and that if you do you'll be turning them into the local law enforcement agency today.

I'm ten years old.
Sorry about some of the anger problems many of you have.
Dad let's us post sometimes.
He tells us to come here and feel free to express ourselves.
He says this is a great place to learn what not to be.
Dad's a smart guy.

I know some people who have a dog.
The dog seems to have a lot of anger problems.
Dad told me that it's because the dog wasn't raised properly.
Made a lot of sense.
Dad's a smart guy.

Anger causes a lot of problems in this ol' world, huh?

I think there are conflicting reports on this.

What I am reading from some sources is that the gun left in the car was an additional shotgun and the medical examiner is saying that most of the injuries on the children were caused by the Bushmaster.

Quote from Hoofhearted:

I agree. I used to almost get a kick out of PT's sarcasm, but I'm starting to think that he may be a sociopathic lunatic. I'd be careful to not divulge any sensitive information as to your identity and where abouts.

He's >60yo, no family. A feeble geriatric loner who is one blow-up from a clocktower.
