I'm pretty sure that at least the FBI lab can match the firing pin on a lot of weapons to an ejected shell already.

For the record we dont want him back.

It is pretty lol calling on the state to violate the 5th amendment and the 1st amendment to stop a guy who in their words is trying to "undermine the Bill of Rights".

I wasn't aware British people were covered under the bill of rights

The United States gov't will never take away my (1) firearm. If they attempt to do so, there'd be more bloodshed in trying to take it than leaving me alone.

Come at me now!!!1

I wasnt aware the right to due process and free speech doesnt apply to non-citizens when in America.

Thanks for another lesson in constitutions dr ikes.

Before getting all pissy means joking jeebus.

My god these gun laws are simply not working.

smh

perfect example of why we need federal nation wide gun control laws instead of this idiotic system where we let states decide their own.

Yeah, it's really tough for someone working in TV to get a prop magazine.

No. There won't. You will hand over your gun then go bitch about it on the internet.

You're also unaware of how natural, inalienable rights work.

Sure, let's talk about this. The Cumbria guy wrought this carnage over the span of nearly 4 hours. Adam Lanza shot all of his victims multiple times to ensure they were dead, and he killed as many people as the Cumbria guy killed OR injured, and he did it in the span of about 20 minutes.

Of course bolt action rifles and shotguns and revolvers can kill people. They kill people quite well. No one is arguing that if people only had bolt action 30-06s, there would be no mass shootings. However, such weapons are not as efficient at killing large quantities of people in crowded areas as a semiautomatic rifle with a large magazine. The argument is that without semiautomatic rifles with large magazines, the body count from these shootings would be lower, the authorities would have more time to respond before the shooter could reach the same body count, unarmed people at the scene would have more opportunities to tackle the shooter, and hell, even some CCW Rambo would stand a better chance against him.

as much as I like to lolikes, he was pretty clearly kidding there dudes

The line between joking and serious is never clear when lolikes.

Re: The Cumbria shooting, the biggest thing to learn from that is statistically more than twice as many people died that day in America from gunshot wounds than died in one of the few major shootings the UK has ever had in its history.

The UK has a strict licensing scheme with limits to what guns you can buy but statistically its certain that at some point someone will flip out and kill some people with their legally owned rifle/shotgun. But basically the UK timeline for mass shootings is Hungerford in 87, Dunblane in 96, then Cumbria in 2010, then we are waiting for the next to happen.

One mass shooting per decade is a decent trade off for something something (still not clear what the pro-guns guy's core position is, guns are good because guns are good or something similarly circular)

it's a joke phill, calm down.

This shooting firefighters thing is going to get a lot of play today, when people will be talking quite a bit about the news.

Sorry officer I sold that gun a couple years ago.........

That's part of the problem. Improving the gun situation in this country will take longer than a decade or two imo.

Probably not

Kinda like improving the drug problem has right?

My stepdad had registered guns and guns the govt didn't know about (in the 70s - because the day they were coming for the guns was just as imminent then as it is now). I would assume if you sell one of the registered guns you need a paper trail.

That's no reason not to start. Adam Lanza's mom probably isn't the kind of person who would keep illegal guns.

Drug and guns are not analogous in this sense. They just simply are not the same in the slightest. People are not physically addicted to hand guns.

The government can improve our drug problem. Jailing people for possession will not fix the problem. Therapy for people with drug issues will help. Fighting drugs is not the problem, it is our tactics.

Exactly. It will be hard and the first proposed solution may nto be the best one. That should not stop us from trying to improve the country.

So the irresponsible doomsday prepper who taught her crazy son to shoot thing is over with now and now she was a rational law abiding person again?
