Questions for the 'confiscation' advocates...

I'll guarantee you that many of the so called mass shootings that have occurred in the last few decades have been orchestrated. No one was shot, no one was killed.

I'll make an assumption (with no comment needed or expected) that "our generation" was "instructed" on maturity and responsibility in matters apart from operating a motor vehicle, and at least I, and most around me, recognized nonresponsible behavior, which was heavily laden with respect for others around us. That's missing today!

At 14 I got my driver's license. At 16 I was driving a standard shift, flat bed semi hauling materials for a commercial construction company out of town and back. Obviously not "licensed" to do it, but given that responsibility (along with distributing pay checks on Fridays in my supers pickup), because I would NOT stop and pick up a 6 pack to quench my thirst (I knew how to get it!)! We had guns. We didn't shoot people or each other.

(Although I was shot and shot at in my lifetime!)

We were instructed at home on how to behave in an adult world. We did not learn our social skills from TV or "nintendo" games, and generally speaking most of my friends have managed to remain out of prison by being law abiding citizens ... or blending in and not creating too much unwanted attention. Some, of course, are dead. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Btw, why do you behave like such a smart ass? Did you're mommy and daddy teach you how to be an A hole?

The AR-15 users report extraction and ejection problems with the spent shell casing. The increased speed may increase the incident of extraction and ejection issues.

I didn't see anyone with a "problem" with it being removed from the market, but that is not going to "solve" the real problem that has surfaced recently.

The burden should be on the person seeking to "remove" something from the market to demonstrate that the removal aids in the elimination or significant reduction in a negative condition. Not, IMO, on the users to show there is no need to remove it. The Government always has the burden to restrict the citizens.

That's like the poster saying you don't "need" an AR-15. That's not what the 2nd Amendment says or even how it's been interpreted. It doesn't say for "hunting"! It wasn't even passed for "hunting rights"! It was passed to protect citizens from the Government ... which is seeking to disarm the citizens by "removing" guns.

BTW: Paddock had a number of rifles set up for the shooting. I haven't seen any reports of stove-piping or other malfunctions on any of the weapons. Originally Posted by LexusLover

I see no benefit to keeping the bump stock in the marketplace. People who hunt with an AR-15 wouldn't use it. People who use it for protection in all likelihood wouldn't use it. I see only one use for it.

I agree with you on the AR-15. It is not, in my opinion, an assault rifle. Even if it was banned, I'd be willing to bet that there is some other gun on the market that could easily replace it.

There are a number of semi automatic rifles with good old fashion wooden stocks that can shoot just as fast. No ones yelling about those.

I can tell! They (the low class people you are around) probably perceive you as being beneath them.

Their perspective is spot on! Nothing personal, of course!

Just painful facts to share with you. ESL classes are still available.

Winn-Dixie or Kroger's?

This is too rich to pass up:

The AR-15 is not an "assault rifle" either...

"Semi-automatic-only rifles like the Colt AR-15 are not assault rifles; they do not have select-fire capabilities."
