"Let's thumb down everyone who has half of a brain on this board and knows that gun control doesn't equal crime control"

I have a huge problem with Diana DeGette. She's trying to pass an "assault weapons" ban but is never clear by what she means when she says assault weapon. The fact that she's trying to pass this isn't my problem, my problem is that she's jumping on the emotions of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting just to push her political agenda forward. She knows for a fact that the only way she can get this passed is by preying on the emotions of the people effected by this tragedy. An assault weapon is a semi-automatic firearm, meaning that one round is shot each time the trigger is pulled, a spent cartridge case is ejected, and another one is loaded into the chamber without the need of manually operating a sliding hand grip, bolt handle, or lever. Diana Degette is only using the term assault weapon to confuse the general public by trying to mislead them to think that they are fully automatic weapons, when fully automatic firearms when they are not (fully automatic assault rifles have been heavily regulated by laws such as the Gun Control Act of 1968 as well as many state and local laws). Now some of you may think this is protecting the children, well guess what... According to the FBI assault weapons have only accounted for 2% of firearm related crime in the United States. The laws are fine as they are. The thing people don't realize is that the laws worked. The man from the Sandy Hook incident tried to purchase an assault weapon from a Dick's Sporting Goods and was turned away due to a background check. The firearms he obtained were obtained illegally. If Diana Degette was actually concerned for public safety she'd be trying to ban things like .22 handguns, or under $200 handguns. But sadly she is not concerned for public safety, only her own political agenda, and she will abuse the emotions of victims from this shooting purely to get ahead.

LMAO some people apparently don't like my posts. It conflicts with their narrow views. They even thumb down 100% factual information (Feinsteins assault weapons bill).

Diet coke tastes like shit
it should be banned

Seeing as some people here are talking guns, what do you think of the Spanish made Star Model B. A friend of mine's grandfather is an old WW2 vet and is selling his and I was thinking of buying it. I was going to offer him $250 for it, I think that's a fair price.

assault rifle noun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and HAS THE CAPACITY TO SWITCH BETWEEN FULLY AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC FIRE. Light and portable, yet able to deliver a high volume of fire with reasonable accuracy at modern combat ranges of 1,000–1,600 ft (300–500 m).

these weapons are already banned, they have been since 1986. it is legal to own them, but you need a special license, which is very difficult to acquire.

just because it has a pistol grip, rails for attachments and an adjustable stock, does not make it an assault rifle. it makes it look like one, and makes it so you can put all sorts of badass stuff on it short of grenade launchers, but does not change the fact that it's not an assault rifle

I personally hope that guns DO get banned.
Then we can go back to murdering each other with swords and arrows, the way God intended.

Here are the stipulations of the "Assault weapons" ban. They are over reaching and unacceptable.

Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:
120 specifically-named firearms;
Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and
Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.
Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:
Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test;
Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test; and
Banning firearms with “thumbhole stocks” and “bullet buttons” to address attempts to “work around” prior bans.
Bans large-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment;
Exempting over 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes; and
Exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons.
Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
Background check of owner and any transferee;
Type and serial number of the firearm;
Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration.

Why gun control fails.

90% of school shootings linked to SSRI's.

there should be no argument.

Merry Christmas.

Am I the only one who has a huge problem with matched force laws? for those who don't know I'll give a brief summary. Say a man breaks into your home. You have a handgun, he has a knife. He is charging at you with the knife trying to kill you. If you shoot him in the leg to stop him you will be charged with an assault crime. He gets charged with breaking and entering. If he dies from you protecting your own you get charged with murder. If he has a gun and you have a gun and you shoot him first you get off the hook with self defense. Why is it not self defense if he's trying to stab instead of shooting me from across the room?

Hey, what do you guys think about Japan having really strict immigration laws and almost not letting any non-Japanese move there and work there?

I don't really hear a lot of politicians or governments criticize Japan that much, but imagine if it would have been a European country , like Denmark. If Denmark would do as Japan, don't you think that it would cause serious criticism from the UN, European Council, not to mention, the entire Western World?
