    A 10/22 to liberals is an assault rifle. And it is used by the Army. The Israeli army for addressing violent rioters with a leg shot, i.e., a non-lethal shot.
    Who the [expletive] is they? I detect a hint of racism in this story if you get my drift and I think you do.

    Some of us can afford both guns AND cars. Guns are selling for record prices. Who would swap a gun for gas money when the gas money is less than market value? This story is just feel good liberal BS IMHO.

    BTW. I prefer to use 10 round magazines in my AR-15. However, with a the stimulus money provided by Joe Biden, the greatest gun salesman of all time, I did splurge on a couple of these.:salute:

    Agreed ByDummy was a great help financially, but Mr Obatard was by all measure the best promoter of gun sales :) He has the record for the greatest gun sales in the history of any President..

    Well done DNC :applause:

    Nah, not really. The only people that bring up all that blame have an agenda, everybody else just blames the gunman.

    When the folk start hitting you with "That could never happen again" be sure and refer them to Ukraine and the amount of personal and military arms we American have bought and provided them with ;)

    I doubt it will shut any of them up though!!

    Sig Sauer sister company is German (or German/Swiss), but the rifle will be made in New Hampshire, and its for military use only. Most likely other manufacturers will produce a civilian version at some point, and it will sell like crazy since Americans have a taste for guns that look like military gear. AR15 will fall out of fashion.

    I think pointing out that the demographics of the typical left-wing anti-gun lobby falls on it's face is important to note.

    When do we get to start actually holding the person accountable for the murders accountable?

    If in fact the data and posts widely published were inaccurate, then I retract my statement about being transgendered but clearly he was also severely mentally ill.

    Well, you signaled your virtue. Now what?

    We wait around for everyone to do what you tell them? If it doesn't work out and kids still die (mainly due to the fact that no political system can eliminate death), or worse more kids die, do you just shrug and say "Well, I told em.."

    They do actually and Christians (who are commonly the most hard core pro lifers) adopt at twice the rate of the general population. To pretend otherwise is just a liberal talking point.

    Both sides seem to love to make generalizations like Beto is doing, which basically boils down to if you disagree with my position on "x" you are evil and want to murder children.

    These kinds of generalizations are really disgusting and why no one can even objectively discuss things like abortion and gun control.

    You tell me. When do we stop blaming dem mayors, dem governors and 'blue states' for everything? When the mayor and the governor are Republicans and the State is red, you look elsewhere to blame.

    Some consistency would help to avoid looking so hypocritical.

    Now you are claiming the killer was transvestite (which is not even true), so you can blame the LBGT community. Absurd.

    He's trying to do what we all should be doing. He's trying to get rid of the Republican Massacre Enablers, the ones who make sure that the madmen who murder our children are well-equipped with the weaponry they need to slaughter toddlers.

    It's amazing to me how people say it was "inappropriate" for Beto to speak up here; like saying we shouldn't prosecute someone who killed his parents because he's an orphan now. For god's sake what more appropriate time could there be to speak up against this horror than at the very memorial for the people who were the latest victims of the Republican's murderous obsession with aiding and abetting these senseless deaths?

    Like Beta, you have zero specifics. You are being asked to define how this happens.

    And almost every cop and friend I know owns a Sig 9mm.. To be perfectly honest with you, the main reason since Mr. Obatard for gun sales has not been looks but the threat of bans.. One way to get a person to horde, lightbulb, food or anything is to threaten it's future availability.. Like myself, I haven't bought for anything other than resale and increase profitability on an item that may be banned in this country..

    I read that one post about a gun owners and Ferrari and laughed, ban assault weapons and a few of them will buy a Tesla, Ferrari or just a nice nut to sit on when the economy goes belly up and the firearm becomes a necessity ;)

    This happens because this guy was able to buy weapons of war on his 18th birthday. It happened because murderous Republicans have this obsession with arming crazy people and then wondering why these lunatics kill us. It happened because Republicans insist on enabling this to happen over and over and over and over and would themselves be prosecuted for all the murders they aid and abet in any country where the laws surrounding firearms even approached sanity. Is that specific enough for you?

    That news was put out there on multiple sources. Don't blame me for inaccurate information.

    I agree that we hold individuals accountable for their actions. I also have said time and time again, social decay is a large factor of violence and criminality.

    What policies and agendas have we put forward that increases the likelihood of this type of atrocity and others?

    Simply blaming the tool is weak. Is it mental illness? If so, what's causing the mental illness? Are we not doing enough to address it? Are there other factors?

    I want a deeper conversation and conclusion than "guns bad".

    Tisk tisk... Shame on us! We should know better than to try to explain ballistic math to a typical liberal. We will only confuse the poor things.

    Even if they could comprehend it, they're not interested in actual facts.

    When that accountable person is not being aided and abetted by gun advocates who insist he should be so easily well armed to kill us and our families. Republicans did not pull the trigger themselves but they made sure the trigger was there to be pulled

    NRA boosts gun sales by claiming Dems are going to ban guns, and people fall for it every time. I was a NRA member, and they'd call me all the time saying things were worse than every before (every month was worse then ever before) and they needed extra donations so could keep my guns. Eventually I canceled my membership, because I don't appreciate being taken for a fool.
