CNN) -- To all of you gun lovers, feel free to go buy your Glock, shotgun, hunting rifle, .22 pistol, .357 Magnum or any of the other guns at your disposal.
But you do not need an AK-47.
For some, it's too soon to discuss gun reform, a little more than one week after the mass killings in Aurora, Colorado. I disagree. Too many Americans are being killed by guns every day; this most recent heinous tragedy should not keep us from having a rational debate.

Odd how few notice this.
It may have been noticed, but calling it out like I did...well as you say...odd.

Hey Roland you moron, If AR’s and AK’s are “instruments of war” as the left claims, then no police officer or any SWAT team in America should have any AR’s, as the Constitution forbids standing armies within the United States.

Sounds like a good choice to me. 5.56 is a good performing round at CQB distance.
Not only do we need "Assault Weapons" an equally rational analysis of the constitution shows that it was designed to protect "the people" as being a bulwark to tyranny. We can't fight tyranny unless we have the same tools as those that want to subjugate us.

Try this:
There is no difference between self defense and national defense. Self defense is your fair 1/300,000,000th part of national defense.

To Mr. Martin,
I’ll give up mine when the Government gives up all of theirs including all LE, military, etc.
Until they give up theirs, don’t dare demand I give up mine.
