    Reading is fundamental, I bought not given.. And I'm not Australian, I'm a law abiding American, I can be trusted with firearms and don't need to be treated like a common criminal or a village idiot..

    We can. But that is not the liberal objective.

    It sounds like an irrelevant piece of legislature then.

    Did any of those guns have the firepower of the AR15 or other modern assault weapons?

    They had to identify those little children by DNA

    Most mass shooters are committing suicide, but just taking several others with them. Lax gun laws make that easy

    As rifles go an AR-15 is not particularly powerful.

    It's a 223 round, typically weighing 60 grains. There are 15 grain per gram.

    A 223 is considered the minimum rifle suitable for deer hunting.

    I do not know why you liberals think that that particular round is somehow endowed with magical bullet powers that no other gun possesses.

    Let me ask you a question, what sort of rifles do you think law enforcement were using?

    At the bare minimum they had the same rounds if not a significantly larger caliber rifle.

    No he does not comprehend he is an idiot.
    His ignorance is clear to those that have a clue.

    If he was that painfully stupid to begin with he probably learned nothing that day anyways.

    It is all relative. “Not particularly powerful” still mangles human flesh

    They had to use DNA ato identify the kids

    You should see what a 30-06 or a 308 would do.

    Makes an AR-15 look like a BB gun

    You can always tell when someone knows Jack all about guns when they talk about the AR-15 like it's some particularly powerful damaging round.

    90% of common deer hunting rifles are far more powerful.

    It is not the “power” but the degree of tissue damage

    They had to use DNA to identify those little children - they were that unrecognisable

    Yes, and they also nicknamed him Beto when he was an infant. Do you have a problem with it?

    His parents did nicknamed him Beto, and its not wrong or illegal in any sense. Nicknames might be against the law in North Korea, but in US, lot of people have them.

    That's the problem with your line of arguing. We have 'gun control' in Florida, but guess what? It doesn't mean what you argue it means.

    Red Flag laws were put in place only few years ago in Florida and they have been utilized 6000 times already. A teenager buying two AR15s, hundreds of rounds of ammo, multiple 30 round mags, a tactical vest in one go on his birthday could be a red flag.

    Regardless, the AR is little more than a varmint gun. Especially compared to an 8mm Mauser, which is an actual weapon of war.

    Those poor kids wouldn't have fared any better had Ramos used a different kind of weapon.
