Feinstein to introduce assault weapons ban bill

This thread got nuts. Are some of you really worried about your govt turning on you?

Can anyone give me a reason why assault rifles should be owned by civilians? And please stop comparing cars and alcohol to guns. Guns are for one thing.... killing albeit hunting or spraying a school of young kids.

You can't defend what happend on friday and other random acts of mass violence over the years. Plain and simple it shouldnt have happened.... or at least to that scale..... if that lunatic only had access to handguns the outcome would've 100% been different.

If you ban guns, criminals still get guns. It's just you at the disadvantage.
The UK banned guns and surprisingly gun crime is up almost double.

A guy with a knife would have only killed one, maybe two of the kids at Sandy Hook before he was wrestled to the ground by the adults.

UK Gun Ban:
[quote]What effect did the ban have?
According to bare statistics, the ban initially appeared to have little impact, as the number of crimes involving guns in England and Wales rose heavily during the late 1990s to peak at 24,094 offenses in 2003/04.
Since then the number has fallen in each year. In 2010/11 there were 11,227 offenses, 53% below the peak number, according to the official crime figures. Crimes involving handguns also fell 44% -- from 5,549 in 2002/03 to 3,105 -- in 2010/11.[/quote]

Try not to quote three+ year old articles when making a point. Gun crime is way down since its peak in the UK in 2004.

Where's the stats in US that prove banning a specific type of firearm results in less crime? There's not one example or study of how banning an assault rifle helps.

They folded to a way superior military machine, the one you would take on with your AK-47:oldlol: thank you for making me point for me:lol

The Iraqi army had tanks, yet they knew they weren't gonna beat the US military and you think with an assault rifle you gonna knock down a fighter jet carpet bombing your neighborhood:facepalm

This isn't 1700s fool, where a musket would put you on more or less equal terms with the army, you got any anti-aircraft missle launchers in your attic?:roll: you gon need a bunch of those

>he thinks it's hard to kill people with a knife

Nobody wants to f*ck with the guy with the knife. Principal lunges, you stab her in the throat. other admins and teachers lunge, stab them in the throat. Room full of kids? They're not gonna be strong enough to fight back.

Keep thinking gun crime is down in the UK though. When there were 100 and now there are 90, you took EVERYBODY'S guns for fu*king nothing.

This is what happens when nutcases don't have access to guns. Same psycho, different story.

[QUOTE]22 Chinese schoolchildren hurt in stabbing spree

A man wielding a knife stabbed an elderly woman and then 22 children outside an elementary school in China on Friday before being subdued by security guards.

The attack happened in the village of Chengping in Henan, a landlocked province about halfway between Beijing and Shanghai. A 36-year-old named Min Yingjun from Guangshan county is accused of bursting into the home of a 85-year-old woman before stabbing her with a kitchen knife and then moving on to children as they were arriving for school after 8 a.m. local time.

On Saturday, the Chinese government's Xinhua News Agency quoted police who said that Min was possibly "mentally ill" and is now in custody.

A doctor at Guangshan's hospital of traditional Chinese medicine said that nine students had been admitted, two of which were subsequently transferred to better-equipped hospitals elsewhere in the country. None of the children have died.

Some of the children had their fingers or ears cut off.

It's not clear how old the children were, but the primary school in China covers children between six and 11 years old.

The man attacked almost two dozen children before being subdued by security guards who have been posted across China following a spate of school attacks in recent years.[/QUOTE]

Implying armed insurgency and asymmetrical warfare doesn't work.

>firing rockets at a building full of non-hostiles who may even side with them

Yeah, sure. That'll be happening.

What about a guy with access to fertilizer, fuel, a vehicle, an internet guide and a few functioning brain cells?

People who are focusing on removing all the tools instead of dealing with the people [B]using [/B]the tools, while they probably have good intentions, are missing the bigger picture. You don't ban airplanes and all air travel after 9/11. You try to make air travel as safe as possible and ensure that the murderous, unstable people in the world can't use them to kill people.

No one is suggesting an outright ban on all guns, just tighter restrictions.
