    Not only "factually incorrect", but legally incorrect as well.

    No, it's quite correct. Mass shootings were neither a reality nor even a possibility when the 2nd Amendment was ratified. One couldn't fire more than 5 or so shots a minute with one of those. They'd have been stopped long before they could reload.

    Pathetic attempt at a strawmen. Please point out where and when have I EVER defended a criminal thugs?? I'm merely pointing out the danger of having a loaded weapon laying around where minors have easy access to it. You should be so glad that when she fired the gun "in their direction" and missed, she didn't accidentally killed an innocent bystander instead.

    Read a little further and learn.

    So this 14 year old girl is a gangbanger?

    Your reply is irrelevant to the subject.

    Hate to tell you back then there where guns which could fire way more than 5 rounds, study history a little.

    that is not true there were multiple " high capacity" firearms. The government even wanted to buy them but they were too expensive.

    feel free to get educated

    So you're just going to be obtuse now. Shocked I am.

    A stunning number lands in the middle of the gun debate

    (CNN)As political Washington mulls what -- if anything -- to do legislatively to address the latest in a long line of mass murders committed with guns, a new Fox News poll has a number in it that is an absolute stunner.

    That number is 67%, which reflects respondents who told pollsters that they support a ban on assault weapons. For you non-math majors out there, that's two-thirds of the American public!

    ... https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/15/politics/assault-weapons-ban-fox-news-poll-gun-control/index.html

    But let's just ignore the facts and act like guns are great because a 14-year-old happened to have need of one. Let's just pretend that all guns are equal.

    For you non-logical people out there, that is two-thirds of the people that were polled, not the American public. While the poll might or might not represent the actual public, it was really just a poll of 1,013 people out of 327.2 Million people in the US.

    She understood where the gun was stored, understood how to insert a mag, understood how to put it into battery, you can be she knew how to aim it.

    Someone taught this child how to handle a firearm safely and properly and if all parents thought their children that there would be a lot less accidental shootings by minors.

    A carefully selected group of 1,013 people to get the results the pollsters at very left leaning and quite often proven to lie CNN wanted.

    It isn't the "yokels" that are the issue here. I live in a county of 362,000 people, and at least 40% are who you would probably deem "yokels". Yet our murder rate is lower than Australia's and the United Kingdom's.

    54% of counties in the U.S. have zero murders in a year. 2% of the counties had over 50% of the murders. If you studied that 2% of the counties, I am certain you wouldn't find many that you would call "yokels." Again, it isn't the "yokels" who you should be worried about.

    "Yokel - Yokel is one of several derogatory terms referring to the stereotype of unsophisticated country people."

    No. It's not. And it have been proven time and again by the medical community. I'll take their words and being a parent, I understand perfectly rather than listen to a single anonymous person on an internet forum.

    Hah... I think you, yourself misunderstand the laws.

    • If they are at a hunting or safety course.
    • Target shooting at a established shooting range.
    • Competition shooting.
    • Hunting or trapping if the person has a valid license to do that.
    • Travelling to any of the above activities.
    • On private property with permission of adult.
    If the parents say they can access the weapon to defend themselves at home, the law allows it.

    Most states have this very same exception. I always carried a holstered .38 while hunting every since I was ten and I knew the stash location of my dad's home defense firearm for emergencies.

    Again, the gun does not make anyone commit a crime. Crime happens regardless of the inanimate object. More people are killed with hands than any rifle. It Britain, violent crime and crime with knives are insanely high. Making it illegal only takes it away from law bidding citizens.
