all of America's 80 million gun owners are potential snipers, according to the gun banners' logic.

Kind of like the (il)logic used by feminazis, that "all men are potential rapists."

Leftist scum exploiting the murders of innocents to advance their fascist agenda. I'm angry and disgusted, yet again. Remember when they were just after "saturday night specials"? Remember when the brady bill was up for passage and she said "this is all the gun control we'll ever need"? The next day she called it "a good start".
VOTE PRO GUN!!

"We will come to view this harrowing episode for what it is — an isolated, bizarre crime in the life of a great and good nation."

Or a preview of the terms of engagement for something far more insidious.

The Washington-area sniper will be caught and imprisoned. Life will return to normal. We will come to view this harrowing episode for what it is — an isolated, bizarre crime in the life of a great and good nation.

Apparently the author or authors have not seen this:

Here is a lengthy but important document which should be read by all!

Jihadis in the Hood
Race, Urban Islam and the War on Terror

The American left consists of those who are mainly social outcasts; vice addicts, criminals, alien non-westerners, and bungled non-productive incompetents. These people, due to Americans attending to private affairs instead of public affairs, have achieved office, sit on juries, teach our young, control the means of communication. As a result they are living out of the public trough, think they have prestige, money and power. However, they know they will bungle. They cannot help it they will by their very nature cause damage and hurt. If Americans ever wake up guns create the means of resistance. Thus, to alleviate their own fears and consolidate their recent rise they are attempting to remove the guns.

80 million potential snipers? Does that mean 80 million potential dead Al Qaedas?

None of this is to suggest that there can be no reasonable limitations on gun ownership.

I agree with the doctor on almost all his article, but I disagree with that statement. Gun laws DO NOT keep criminals from getting guns. The ONLY people who are prevented from obtaining guns by gun laws are the law abiding people who pose no threat to anyone to begin with.

For almost all of the 19th century gun control laws were unknown. Anyone anywhere could buy any gun he or she could afford, and guns could usually be ordered direct from the factories and mailed to the customer. But even without any gun control at all, crime rates were far lower than today with all our restrictive laws in place.

I read somewhere (probably on FR) recently that the U.S. murder rate in 1900 was less than 1 murder per 100,000 persons. 100 years later it was around 6.8 murders per 100,000, after peaking in the late 1980's at almost 10 per 100,000. 100 years, 22,000 gun laws, and more than a 7-fold increase in murders. Seems to me that if gun laws were intended to prevent crime, they have done a very poor job.

If every one of the 22,000 gun control laws on the books today were repealed tomorrow, I don't believe there would be any rise in crime or an increase in accidental shootings. In fact, if more law abiding people obtained guns as a result of repealing those laws, I would expect a considerable drop in the crime rate. Maybe even back to 19th century levels when most law abiding people owned guns and would-be criminals knew it.

Oh great, now it starts.

What is stupid is this guy is no sniper in the rite of passage by training that eliminates people like him before they graduate.

Even that expert qualification isn't what it used to be. He had to qualify with forty rounds to hit pop-up silhouettes at various distances on a firing range.

In 1976, I had to fire 80 at these things in basic combat training. (I hit 73 and scored expert myself.)

Gun grabbers are licking their chops over the thought of maing political hay over this murderer. They must be stopped.

I've got news for these pasty-mouthed little Liberal piss-ants...

If even a small portion of these feared 80 million gun owners decided to do the very things these pansy bed-wetters accuse them of wanting to do, these Stalin wannabees wouldn't be around to write such trash and advocate their un-Constitutional actions. They would have been history long ago, just like King George III!

They can just thank their lucky stars we aren't as psycho as they think we are.

... but, don't push us, you creepy morons....

So far the Violence Policy Center and Physicians for Social Responsibility have not produced a list of guns they do approve of.

Non firing, of course.

80 Million is not enough, if 200 mil + Americans (estimated amount of law abiding citizens) were armed and ready we would not have to ever worry about crime and domestic terrorism.

There was not terrorism in 1800's America, since most population was armed, and streets were safe too, so were communities, large cities, small towns, let any gun hater argue this point.
