    Korean shopkeepers during the LA riots of the early 1990s used assault rifles to protect themselves against angry mobs after the police abandoned the area.

    I don't suppose you have proof of this statement? Or are you so attuned to the public though you can make this statement? You must have great faith in the crumbling mental health support system in this country, cause gee!! THAT has nothing to do with it, right???

    When she says a "minority terrorizing the majority" is she talking about the NRA or the Gay Mafia?

    The cops have to be ahead of the threat. That's their job. That's what we pay them for.

    Btw, I'd BET that you were one of those who were so happy to establish DHS a few years ago. Tom Ridge was going to root out those Mohamms, by golly.

    Hey, you are the one defending the militarization of police. Guess you agree with jackboots breaking your down down to deliver a subpoena which has been happening more as time goes on.

    Sorry Hillary. You don't get to decide which viewpoints to ban, even... no... ESPECIALLY if they are a minority.
    Untrue, disproven, and despicable that she would use this for personal gain.
    No one ever entered a school with an automatic weapon.
    Yeah, disgusting that she would stand on the graves of the Sandy Hook children to further her personal fortune.
    You fail to recognize the steady decline of violent crime in our country, instead lazily parroting the partisan BS that furthers your agenda.
    They are popular shooting areas because there are lots of UNARMED people around. Soon as an armed person shows up, they typically off themselves. Coincidence?
    Again, you fail to acknowledge that guns per capita is sharply increasing, and violent crime is sharply decreasing. You cannot ignore the correlation and maintain intellectual honesty.

    Yep, I do, now that everyone is packing a Barrett .50 in their jodhpurs. I was not in favor of setting up Homeland Security like my conservative cohorts were. Now, once again, they get to pay for their misguided policies.

    It'd BET you cannot point to where I've missed it. Remember that disingenuousness thang I was talking about?

    Btw, I'd support militarized cops against snipers and bomb planters every day. How about you? Can America count on your support?

    You mean the FBI? Cops are militarized against citizens, not snipers and bombers.

    Funny how we're not able to come to grips with this. Snipers and bombers ARE citizens.

    So you think all citizens are snipers and bombers. Got it. No wonder you exude so much fear.

    When you publish a person's personal papers and make them famous you ARE glorifying them. Whether that is the intent or not, it is the actual result. I'd LIKE it to stop. I wouldn't make a law about it though.

    Everyone? Where the hell is mine then? Where do I go to get a free barrett .50 because those suckers cost several grand.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Sure can. Point me at one and I'll shoot them myself or hold them at gunpoint until they can be arrested. All part and parcel of the militia thing. Just doing my civic duty.

    Hillary Clinton On Gun Control: We Can't Let 'A Minority Of People' Terrorize The Majority
    Hillary Clinton on *****: We can't let a 'Minority of People' terrorize the UNBORN

    If you're going to control a thought process or even the right to think for yourself, then don't stop with personal preferences. Cause once it starts, you've lost your rights, privileges and/or preferences.

    Just ask any unborn child baked for BTU's

    The riots had started due to Rodney King. The Korean shopkeepers would have been dead if they hadn't had assault rifles to defend themselves. It is a good example. The other thing is that functionally there is no difference between an assault rifle and a semi-automatic deer rifle that has been on the market since the 1910s. Obviously there is a need, or we wouldn't still be selling and using them.

    Assault rifles are not a major crime weapon. In 2011 (latest year the FBI has released stats for on this subject), all rifles (assault and otherwise) were responsible for 323 of 12,664 total murders, or 2.5%. Not a major murder weapon by far.

    Edit:

    I found the 2012 data (which includes Sandy Hook and Aurora).

    All rifles in 2012 were responsible for 322 murders out of 12,765. The same 2.5%
