    you do realize the exact same result could be accomplished by getting rid of all the women, right?

    Because you can kill a lot of people if you decide to. Everyone is a law abiding citizen until the decide to turn nutso. The guy who wielded the AK-47 in Carson City was a law abiding citizen until today.
    Some of you just enjoy seeing people slaughtered. You know there is no reason why anyone should own an AK-47, but you want the right to have one just to show what a macho man you are.
    The more massacres that happen, the more you will defend your rights to massacre people if you ever turn nutso.

    First you tell me why any normal person needs a twinkie, a unicycle, a harpsicord, or tofurkey. No normal person would any need for it- hence they should be banned, right?

    I know the concept seems backward to you, since things were different in Soviet Russia, but we in America tend to base our society on the principle that you don't have to argue for your liberties. Rather, you must demonstrate why someone's liberties should be taken away. Hence, we don't have to argue for the AK, the unicycle, or anything else. It is you who must show we why should deny law-abiding citizens their liberty and property.

    The shooter was from Mexico. Must have been a Democrat...

    Many members of the Interahamwe and Impuzamugambi were armed only with machetes. Even after the 1993 peace agreement signed in Arusha, businessmen close to General Habyarimana imported 581,000 machetes for Hutu use in killing Tutsi, because machetes were cheaper than guns

    You can kill a lot of people with a gallon of gasoline...should we outlaw portable gas containers?

    I can't wait for you anti-gun assholes to call for outlawing rocks when someone manages to kill a handful of people with a brick.

    People don't "decide to turn nutso."

    You don't know that... Well, maybe you do... Link?

    Bullshit. Liar.

    You know there is no reason why anyone should own an AK-47, but you want the right to have one just to show what a macho man you are.
    It's not about proving anything to anyone, it's about preserving the individual's right to own a gun. If you start to undermine that right by outlawing a specific type of weapon, where does it end? I own a Colt 1911, it's a handgun but is also considered to be semi-automatic. Should that be banned? Certain types of hunting rifles have been classified as "assault weapons" yet they are truly just hunting rifles, nothing more. Personally, I see no need to own an AK-47 (especially when most if not all are cheap knock-off of the Russian weapon), but I am not bothered by the fact that they are readily available in any gun shop I visit here in NM.

    The more massacres that happen, the more you will defend your rights to massacre people if you ever turn nutso.
    No one is defending their "right to massacre people."

    Perhaps there are normal people who want the freedom of choice to own an AK-47, as well as there are people who want the freedom to abort babies.

    Are you qualified to determine someone's needs?

    There I took care of you, the complete idiot. Anyone else have an INTELLIGENT COMMENT?
    What makes you think a ban would have stopped this guy....anyone with murder in their heart will find a weapon to make it happen whether it is legal or illegal.

    The part that really upsets me is that our soldiers are supposed to feel safe on their own soil....perhaps they should be allowed to carry their weapons all the time like off duty police officers.

    Try telling me once again why any normal person would want to own an AK-47.
    The AK-47 has one purpose -- to kill people. There is nothing else you can do with it.
    Imagine your own mom and/or dad, sitting at a restaurant for breakfast. I can't see anyone walking in with a rock or a can of gas looking to kill people. That is why they would want a rapid fire weapon.
    You gun nuts can moralize and pontificate all you want. But the only reason to own an AK-47 is to kill people.
    Imagine your mom and/or dad is dead right now. DEAD. Someone killed them. And I am guessing you are sitting around thinking "oh, I suppose some nut could just as easily have killed with a rock. Or a sledgehammer." Because I know gun nuts are stupid enough to think like that.
    But they're still dead. And you don't care. Because you support unlimited gun ownership.
    It's going to happen again. Very soon. Perhaps to someone you know. If you don't care, why should I?

    Gabby ... what you said is offensive ... I'm pretty sure that the overwhelming majority of people on this site DO NOT enjoy seeing people slaughtered ... you are being hysterical.
