Don't normally enjoy these threads ,but having experienced first hand the massive rise in violent crime following a ban on Guns and Knives, these gun grabbing **c*-wits can take a long running jump.
The strange thing is; when we had guns carrying them in the street was a big NO-NO, just the thought that a licensed carrier might be on their way to the Gun club was enough to suppress the problem.
You could carry them concealed in a holster as long as you were actually on your way to a shoot.

As for banning Knives, the legal limit is (i think),three inches.
Who do you think that affects the most?

Those who would deny others the right and ability to defend themselves should be held criminally responsible for the effects of their actions!{/rant}

Oh,, Morning TOL.
The press here are working on the emotional aspect ,again.

... We don’t sell RPG’s at the 7-11’s, nor do I think many people believe we should. There have to be some limits on the degree of dangerousness of weapons that we allow the general public to possess. . . .

My guns have been either locked up in my house or taken to the range and cleaned afterward. Never once has one decided to jump out of control and shot someone. You never see someone try a mass murder at a gun range or at a gun shop. You are just a liberal gun grabber. bye.

I know what you mean. It’s patently obvious that if a group of people is unarmed, it makes easy prey for crazies who want to commit mayhem.

It makes sense, it’s a logical conclusion of the circumstances, and it is absolutely opaque to leftists. They cannot or will not understand it.

They cannot oppress us if we save the Second Amendment and keep our guns.

"We don’t sell RPG’s at the 7-11’s, nor do I think many people believe we should."

Right you are. RPG's are way too high a price point for 7-11.

Now Nordstrom's, Neiman-Marcus, maybe Macy's .....

Can’t fix stupid, but you sure can hope that it urinates on an electric fence that mysteriously got rigged to three phase main current some way some how.

Heh heh heh.

Get a .22, Darks! Rocket propelled grenades make a big mess.

Clearly, Adam Lanza lived in his own detached, little world with alternate values and beliefs.

There are many Adam Lanzas alive right now, planning attacks. We will never stop crazy, it’s like fighting an earthquake. Earthquakes are more predictable.

Does anyone think that if Adam Lanza only had the two sidearms and not the Bushmaster, that he would have not attacked?

We are very lucky that he didn’t use the Saiga semiauto AK shotgun.

Crazies rarely get interdicted, we have a free society and the crazies are smart enough to stay out of the mental health system.

What was his mother thinking? Encouraging his use of firearms? She had been struggling with his violence for years.

His mother is as responsible as Adam Lanza. She made him the efficient killer he became and provided all the firepower and ammunition.

His mother normalized violence towards others.

Adam Lanza was a lonely, rejected and bullied male that finally chose to obtain the power he had always been denied.

Our only real option is to harden locations where people choose to gather by entry control procedures.

Bullet-proof double doors at one entry location only.

Gunshot auditory detectors that auto-dial 911.

A panic button at the secured entry control point.

All exit doors to have electronic locks with proof of closure switches to make sure the latch isn’t taped open.

Your response doesn’t match what I stated. I don’t know how you came to your conclusion buddy. I can’t stand him BUT I AM NOT GOING TO LIE AND SAY I DIDN’T SEE A FREAKING TEAR OR THAT HE DIDN’T GENUINELY SEEM SADDENED.

If you want to call me a communist or commie-lover for that then you need to become more rational. If my worst enemy was accused of a crime that I know for fact they didn’t commit, I would testify to the truth and be a witness for them. We should stand for truth because that is what God would have us do. Blind hatred is something I could very easily let overwhelm me at times...but I try not to let it. It’s not healthy for one thing...

last *report* i recall, the evil nutjob used 2 pistols to kill everybody, and the 'high end' m4gery was recovered from the car, outside the building...

also, did he shoot mom, or kill her by other means before robbing her of guns ???

also, what happened with the 'manhunt' for the other suspect, his brother, in the woods ???

w/o real info, this is really lookin like matts stadium massacre, assuming that all *eyewitnesses* inside the school were conveniently shot...
