Sniper Shootings Prompt Call for More Gun Control

As with Columbine, the gun controllers are dancing in the victims' blood.

[Skooz]

I suppose we should outlaw murder as well.

[krodriguesdc]

Does anyone know if bullet-proof vests are illegal for the public to buy and use for safety reasons?

If they are they shouldn't be!

What nonsense. To change the "fingerprint" one need only change the barrel. Fingerprint all barrels? A machinist can easily make or change the barrel. Make manufacturing of or changing of barrels a crime? How do you enforce that? You can change the marks left on a bullet by a barrel by use of a file on the barrel. Register all files? What if the weapon used is a shotgun? They have no rifling, hence no marks. Outlaw shotguns since they can't be identified that way? Where will all this end?

"If you were just to do new firearms, that basically means that there would be 200 million firearms that would not be traceable in this system,"

No problem (for the gun grabbers). The simply pass a law forcing all FFL holders to turn over their Form 4473's and then a law to attempt to force all gunowners to bring their guns in for "fingerprinting". While you are at it, you can leave a DNA sample for the police.

Of course they blame it on the gun.

But the gun needs one important thing before it goes off. That is the human pulling the trigger, the human eyes that look in the sights, the human hands to load. Should we outlaw humans because they might be dangerous?

Oops that didn't work so well. Go to www.uscav.com and search for vest.

How about banning evil thoughts?

A fanatic lunatic like this one would get a gun or something worse, regardless of any laws.

But the chorus of idiots from the left calling for more gun control is unabated. If every gun in the hands of law-abiding citizens were removed tomorrow, this would still go on, and then they would be complaining about pictures about guns and books on guns.

They are actually nuttier and scarier than the sniper. There is only ONE of him.

...and of course, anyone bent upon mass murder would be decent enough not to modify his weapon to alter the markings.

[FormerLurker]

Gee, I see that the "sniper" really cares about the fact that guns are outlawed in Washington, DC. I see that the laws against murder are really stopping him as well.

[MissAmericanPie]

The gun control issue defeated Gore in his own home state, the Demoncrats would be well advised to treat this issue like a hot and unwanted potato.

[SevenDaysInMay]

These disarmed victims in legislated gun-free kill-zones are dependent on luck.

Registration gimmick reducing crime? Peace in our time? Only if it is Rest in Peace. We're subject to registration both ways.

Fix bayonets.

Thanks for the link...

[dalebert]

This should be a call for people to get armed.

[MichiganConservative]

What use would you have for a bulletproof vest? Try to provide yourself some protection against a sniper in your town! Yeah, like that will happen. Only people with crime and shootouts with the police on their minds want body armor. /endsarcasm

[MichiganConservative]

That is the human pulling the trigger

Please, the people who commit murder should be coddled and given therapy to get over how their mommy and daddy were mean to them when they were 12. You're also totally discounting the intrinsic psychic powers of firearms, knives and other weapons. They make people just go nuts or think they're cowboys and start shooting or stabbing. /endsarcasm

[dokmad]

Typical lame ass liberals, like offenders use registered legal guns. *sigh* Brains are so scarce these days!
