    Poor Kimmel, wonder if he will give up his armed body guards?

    That's what lib progs do. When people disagree with their "party of goodness" "conclusions" they are attacked because they are obviously evil. Alinsky Rules in action.

    When your only religion is government, that naturally makes normative conservative speech evil.

    I see comments like this and am left to wonder, ok, what then? Are you suggesting that the NRA cannot then exist? Or are you suggesting that government enforce restrictions of their ability to communicate? I ask because you seem indifferent to the then multiple constitutionally guaranteed rights which your comment seems to ignore or wish to circumvent.

    Especially if your policies are to limit/reduce the size of government.

    Yes, all we get from the lib progs are weasel words like "tighter restrictions and accountability". When asked for specifics (as I have) - crickets.

    I recently watched the initial episode of the new Star Trek series on CBS. All I could think of was that CBS had launched a super PAC anti trump platform. The terms "resist" was used frequently, the morality of mutiny was portrayed, and the future episodes hinted at the willingness of the "people" to invest in the resistance. It's like watching a thinly veiled effort to push a blue print.

    On point #2, in none of those cases was an AR-15 necessary for defense. A handgun could have accomplished the exact same results.

    True. Yet my point stands.

    You don’t *need* an AR-15 for Defense (except maybe to defend massive paranoid schizophrenia against the government black helicopters). A hundgun or shotgun can do that job more efficiently.

    I doubt anyone said the word "necessary" just that they were used effectively to do so.

    Never use a handgun for self defense if you have a rifle handy.

    I doubt the high velocity overpenetrating rounds of an AR-15 were used anywhere as efficiently as a shotgun slug or hollowpoint handgun round would have been for defense.

    Because it’s better for a missed round to go through my wall and kill my neighbors?

    What's actually insane is the hysterical fear over something that's less likely to happen to one than being hit by lightning or winning a huge lottery jackpot, and in this hysterical state demanding that the Constitution be trod upon.

    That's actually insane.

    A rifle is more effective and accurate than a handgun. If you have no awareness then I suggest you stick to hiding under a desk.

    A Rifle is no more accurate or effective than a pistol at the distance most defensive firearms event sites occur. If I’m shooting someone coming in my front door from 15 feet away, the extra length of stock and barrel are going to be hindrance, not helpful, and a 5.56 high velocity rifle round isn’t going to be anymore accurate or damaging than a .45 hollowpojnt, probably less damaging.

    What's insane is leftists waiting for something like this to politicise guns. More people die in Chicago. 10 shot per day.

    Or is it because leftists really don't care about the poor minorities shooting themselves on a daily basis?
