It’s my understanding that the rifle used in the mass shootings in CT was legal under the state’s gun ban law.
Doesn’t Connecticut have an AWB?
No way of knowing. How many people did McVeigh kill?
How many did 19 muslims kill with box cutters?
What is a liberal gungrabber doing here?
Lay off the pot as it makes you stupid boy.
M-16s and AK-47s are assault weapons.
An AR15 is not.
There isn’t one army in the world that would even consider using it. There isn’t a police department in the entire nation that uses it.
It fires only one round at a time. The round is lethal, of course, but so is a .22 pistol when the target is a 5 year old.
I believe in arming the right teachers. Like having air marshalls on board planes.
The USA is about 38 times larger than Israel in population. However in that poster it has about a 40 to 1 murder rate when compared to Israel. The USA’s murder ratio in their schools are slightly higher than their population ratio of Israels. Therefore despite Israel arming its teachers with military assualt rifles. Its school murders is comparable to the USA.
This could make it a hard sell. Obviously it is a matter of culture and necessity.
CT is one of those states that have "sane and reasonable" laws as a "reasonable first start". While they never promised in writing that crimes like this would be impossible in CT, it was strongly implied, and applauded.
So if CT is so far along, and already took that "first step", what is their their "sane and reasonable" second step? Can they provide measurable metrics that we can use to evaluate their success? If they have third and fourth steps ready, why not announce and implement them now, rather than endangering innocent people by holding back?
A crisis occurs. It can't be allowed to go to waste, so roll out all the old, tired, and phony buzzwords, pretend they're brilliant new ideas, and hope nobody looks back at the previous example of them dancing on the bodies of innocent people.
A friend of mine owns a gun shop and is a gunsmith - so he has a lot of metal working tools. He also sells guns with the “bullet button” on them.
We were talking about the “bullet button” the other night and went to his shop where he fashioned a “bullet button extractor” in about an hour.
It clips to the rifle, is spring-loaded, and can be operated with one finger. When you want to change the clip, you pull the slide with one finger while holding the mag in order to release the mag, and then release the slide [the spring returns it to the original position.
If you have guerilla-taped the mag, you then flip it over and snap the new one into place.
Takes about 1/2 second longer than with a non bullet-buttoned gun [we tested it].
Basically no difference - costs about $15 in parts and an hour to make ...
They gonna be singing Kumbayah at that camp?

States Rights Issue? Not if it Violates the Federal Constitution.
By your logic, a State could invalidate Free Speech. How about California outlawing Free Republic, you up for that?
Shall not be infringed, NOT “may” not be infringed by a Blue State run by Commie Bastards.
And yes, I am fully aware that the United States of America is currently run by Commie Bastards.
If he locked himself in a classroom he could have killed quite a few. That dude in China stabbed over twenty kids. Don't know if any died though.
A gallon of gas and a lighter and you can kill a bunch of people. Mass murderers will find a way.
Almost "nobody" owns guns in Mexico (legally). Somehow, mass murder and mayhem of innocents are off the charts!
Crickets?
did you see Gretchen Carlson again harping on about guns?
As a mother do we want to see men in the schools with guns, er guns have bene around for hundreds of years with kids.Or having teachers with guns.
Maybe if she stopped drying her boy at aged 7 and giving him a bath and have him grow up a little and stop moaing about easy bake overns for her boy then perharps the kid will be ready for the world .
The other guy came up with a great response, he mentioned out in WA where the shooter shot two people , gun jammed and a shopper wiht a gun pointed it at the shooter and then the shooter quickly shot himself.
Even Megyn Kelly, who I used to adore, is going off the deep end with this gun control nonsense. I get how she is reacting emotionally to this since she has children but good God its a shame seeing some on Fox News going off the deep end like that and sounding like leftists
