Absolutely Steve, I'm with you. They should ban mass murder.

The news reports are now suggesting one of the weapons may have indeed been an assault rifle.

I'm on the side that believes there are far too many guns in circulation, and not enough gun laws in place. But I also realize even strict gun laws will not prevent some lunatic from getting a gun anyway and going on one of these rampages.
Nobody will get hurt by having stricter gun laws, you certainly won't have more shootings if it's tougher to buy a gun. And you might stop a few of these killers in their tracks. But here is what pisses me off to no end: the intractable positions taken by that group of idiots known as the NRA. These are people who will never ever listen to others who might disagree with their rigid positions on gun ownership. These are people whose goal is to break any politician who dares to take them on and says there needs to be some changes in America. These are people who are deaf to everybody except their own. Maybe it's time for President Obama, who no longer has to worry about reelection, to start challenging these guys. There is no room for any organization of any kind who refuses to make any changes whatsoever, even in the face of these mounting tragedies. There needs to be dialogue, and there needs to be some changes made on how gun sales are transacted. No, it will not end gun violence. But it's a start and a step in the right direction. And responsible people will still be allowed to purchase and keep guns. There needs to be a much more rigorous background check on so many of these people who have a history of mental instability. Doing nothing and refusing to change will no longer work. Last edited by barrysloate; 12-15-2012 at 02:38 PM. |

He didn't say what that weapon was, but a law enforcement source has previously said that the gunman was found dead with next to three guns: a semi-automatic .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle and two pistols made by Glock and Sig Sauer. The medical examiner, H. Wayne Carver II, said he personally did postmortem examinations of seven victims' bodies. “All the wounds that I know of at this point were caused by the one weapon,” |

600 dollars of federal tax on each bullet.
Own all the guns you want. ...and Dorskind has another really bright idea with the concept of banning illegal drugs. |

Your $600 tax idea on each bullet would be struck down by any court as it is an excessive tax. Now, I could see an additional 15% tax per box of ammo but any suggestion such as a $ amount per round tax would go nowhere in Congress.

But it made for a hilarious Chris Rock stand-up comedy bit.

She was a gun enthusiast, apparently enjoying her Second Amendment rights.
