    In a sense, murder and firearm confiscation are two hands of the same tyrannous evil. With one hand it kills us, and with the other it disarm us, as if to say surrender your arms and we will stop killing you.

    Apparently their victims weren't armed. Personally I'm more concerned about getting killed by reckless drivers than armed bad guys.

    One would think a so called lawyer would understand guilt by association is not guilt at all, but since you didn't, this is for you.

    Now you are guilty of being a member as well.

    Nowhere is it stated the shooter was an NRA member.

    Just more anti-gunner lies.

    No but it can be verified on-line, if one has the proper credentials and to this day no school shooter has been proven to be an NRA member.

    True, is not in my intend to mess with your rights. BTW I like your first post :d

    I was just pointing that war types weapons should not be in the hands of citizens, in relation to NZ and in general.

    I don't have your rights to bear these kind of weapons and believe me when I say I very happy, relieved and couldn't care less because me and countrymen do not have that right.

    In was in the context of a solution to buybacks and confiscation as alternatives.
    I would like to know, maybe I ll change my mind.
    Maybe you include why normal people should own automatic and grenade launchers(still a gun) in a normal society.

    Thanks for the informative post and I admit I did not think of 'entartaiment' reason.
    While this is okay, it can be done in a number of ways(like clubs) without having the possibility to own those guns(not directed at US society but a general one).
    You remembered me of a time when I did drive in a tank once, it was a school trip to a military base. Very fun and exciting!
    I would own one but I fear for what I can do to the traffic users by mistake, or fear if everybody would have tanks.

    Such only exist in the minds of the anti-gun crowd, gun owners know them for what they are, guns that fire a single shot with each pull of the trigger which is no different than any other non-automatic gun.

    That's right, but it's main usage is in war not in self defense or hunting.

    Name an NRA member that has committed a mass shooting.

    There has been one NRA member that was IN a mass shooting, but he was the guy running barefoot to kill the attacker with his AR15, which he did.

    Yeah and governments that don't acknowledge rights like the American constitution are bad governments.

    Incorrect, semi-automatic firearms are not suitable for use in war.

    They are suitable for fun target practice, good for learning to shoot with.

    And your alternative is? To throw your hands in the air and yell "this is too hard"?
    Not tackling the problem very well there

    Because they dont serve your lust for your bang bang?
    How narrow minded and non empathetic to those at risk of harm. Think you belong in the ok corral 150 years ago
