It's good to see a thread on these hot topics (gun control and mental health) where everyone involved is making some degree of sense. I won't spoil that trend by adding my own thoughts

I still have not read a valid reason why anybody not police or military needs a semi-automatic weapon.
 Maybe the founding fathers approved of semi-automatic muskets, but I have yet to see any evidence of precedence. The current clamor to turn teachers into glorified, armed bodyguards makes me a little sick to be honest.

Yeah, that was me. Do you have an answer other then the usual "out of my cold dead hands."? Why would you get nervous? I don't have any power and I'm not political. I live 1/2 an hour from Newtown. I've been through there dozens of times. Adam Lanza had access to semi-automatic weapons because his mother had access to semi-automatic weapons. Can you give me a good reason why Adam Lanza's mother or anybody else needs a semi-automatic weapon? To protect yourself from the people who want to take your guns? Let's call a spade a spade. ..........and nobody's gonna take your guns. Any legislation will have so many loopholes it won't matter a lick. You'll get grandfathered in, or at worst you'll have to slightly modify the guns you already have.

Hi David- I think there are two things going on here. The first is a responsible citizen, especially one who has served in the military, has the right to own a gun. That point is beyond dispute.
The more important one to me, and I think this is what Dave was saying, is in what context does any citizen need to own or carry a weapon? We hear stories about Aurora and Sandy Hook but the fact is the chance of any of us confronting a crisis like that is about as likely as being struck by lightning. Furthermore, how many people would be able to react with nerves of steel in such a situation? From what I've read, and can imagine, people in a crisis situation tend to panic and freeze up, and the chances of actually being a hero and killing a potential attacker aren't great. Earlier this year we had a gunman at the Empire State Building. The police got there in time and shot and killed him. They also wounded nine innocent people who were standing in the vicinity of the gunman. If trained professionals are that inaccurate, I'm pretty certain I don't want school teachers or principals packing heat. So I make a distinction between the legal right to own a gun, and the actual need for private citizens to be armed. That's a debatable point. Last edited by barrysloate; 12-31-2012 at 06:13 AM.

Saying that no one other than military or police have the right to own a semi-automatic weapon is frightening. This is the same mentality that has spiked gun and ammo sales in the last few weeks. Go NRA!!!

A tool for what? Self-Defense? Do you feel as if you're constantly in danger and in need of a rapid fire clip to defend yourself?

I think if bad people who want to do bad things will go out and get illeagle guns. Not go get a permit for one. Those normal people who want protection get the permits. I dont have a gun, but if i want one i should be able to go get one
