    You can kill people with a 22 rifle. You can kill people with a pistol.

    Why is the liberal answer NEVER to wonder why people are crazy? Why don't you want to figure out the human issues going on here? Actually, I know the answer. You don't want to or you'd have to deal with the consequences of having a judgment free culture.

    I own a lot of guns and really don't see the need for a AK-47, but it is not an assault weapon like the kind many military uses. It's a semi automatic, not a machine gun like weapon. Out side of the size of the bullet, it's no more an assault weapon than a semi 22 rifle.

    I can tap the trigger on my AK-47 and unload the clip in a few seconds. I don't "need" most of my guns but they are fun to own.

    Guns also protect people, and their very presence helps protect us against the disturbing future that a tyrannical government could seize power in the future and take away our rights. And let's not forget that guns can help protect us against other criminals with guns. School shooting sprees in America are especially deadly now because Liberal's have created "gun free school zones", preventing any of the teachers from having the means to defend their classes in these sorts of situations.

    Besides, banning guns would not end school killing sprees:

    I do not think it's worth sacrificing more of our freedoms in a misguided attempt to try to prevent crimes and periodic localised tragedies.

    Who thinks of something like that???

    The point is cars where made for driving while guns are made to kill...the failure to make that distinction in your mind and your post are disturbing.

    The problem is your fun is someone else tool to kill as many as possible....and are you really going to say that you wouldn't give up your fun in order to stop 20 5 year olds for being murdered....or 33 kids in a college classroom...or families watching a movie...or people in a mall...or kids in a high school....

    Someone who is smart enough to realize that guns are not the only things that can be used to kill school children.

    What difference does is make if you run someone over or shoot them to death?

    mmm, is it the group of people that want their freedom to have guns? Or the group of people that insist on legalizing drugs? Now, guns do not shoot people, they need some crazed, flipped out maniac to do that.

    I stand with the people, that want to stop other people, from making another group of people NUTS!

    It takes a NUT to shoot people, not a hunk of metal!

    No it takes a nut with a hunk of metal that was designed for the sole purpose of killing as many people as possible as efficiently as possible. And the problem is they are easy to get which should be obvious at this point....they (assault rifles) serve no purpose in the hands of the general population but to kill other people..so why have them is that is their only use

    10,000 people each year out of a nation of 310+ MILLION and you think the people who own 270 MILLION registered guns peacefully should surrender theirs so that violent criminals can run roughshod over them?

    Parents should protect their own families and have the ability to do so.

    What would have happened to this 12 year old girl without a handgun? Raped, killed...? That's okay with you?

    Do you own a car? What right do you have to own it? They are responsible for millions of deaths. How about knives...got any of those? Why do you NEED them anyway? Don't you know they can kill folks?

    Please define "military grade weapon" and explain what makes them so much deadlier than a "non-military grade weapon".

    It is stupid? A news segment where a brave twelve year old describes attempted violence and her self defense is "stupid"?

    OKay. Done with you. Flame on with your BS. 10,000 deaths a year in a nation of 310 million is actually not that bad. It is less than a percent of a percent. Not all human life can or will be saved.

    Cars kill more people but you are cool with that. Keep on keepin' on.

    They are used for protection, and since bad guys get them, other people do not want to stand there with a water pistol. So,,once again,,it starts with the NUT!, that same nut will use a bomb or a knife.
    Stop feeding people drugs, and you will stop making them nuts!

    The point is cars and knifes were designed with other purposes then simply the mass killing of other people....you can't ride your AK-47 to work...you can use your .45 to open a letter or slice an onion...their only use is killing...no one is saying ban all guns just the weapons that make mass killings in seconds possible

    new quote of the year "10,000 deaths a year is not that bad".....that's 100,000 a decade.....at least we lead the first world in something 'merica!!!

    way to fail at attempting any type of intelligent discourse on the subject of gun control...your only defense is 10,000 people dying...mostly kids by the way...is not that bad so f it change nothing...........I AM SPEECHLESS

    Used from protection against whom might I ask...let's count the amount of mass killings, corrupt government takeovers and or foreign army invasions, that have been stopped in the united states in the past 100 years by private citizens armed with assault rifles...000

    You have no concept of science or statistics. You're an emotional mess.

    You cannot put everyone in padded suits and rubber rooms. We have over 300 million people. Look at our drug laws. WHAT HAVE THEY STOPPED? Nothing. Everyone can get drugs. The same will be true when guns are banned.
