Feinstein to introduce assault weapons ban bill

[TheMan]

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.

So this tyrannical government you fear so much also has feelings

[The Real JW]

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

I've seen posters on here and other sites advocating a blanket ban.

You use guys like Ghandi and dalai lama?

Ok this is on a whole new level of retardedness.
U.S., the problem is education, not guns. I've been convinced.

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

Except that in most of these Chinese school stabbing sprees (which happen all the time), there have been fatalities as well.

All this proves is that taking away gun rights won't eliminate these kinds of mass, random attacks. Some nut will always be trying for a high score.

Sh*t, look at Utoya - all that strict gun control in Norway didn't do shit.

What's that....for some reason the government wants to enslave it's own people, and you're the last line of defense?! Well thank god you bought those Bushmasters at that gun show. Now you can barricade yourself and.......what's that sound???

Yo check out this sound I'm hearing!

It's an RPG, it just blew up this larger-than-life RC.

What? I live near mexico...

Samuel Adams:

"Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life, secondly to liberty, thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can."

John Adams:

"Arms in the hands of the citizens may be used at individual discretion for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny or private self-defense."

Thomas Jefferson:

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

Thomas Jefferson, in an early draft of the Virginia constitution:

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms in his own lands."

Thomas Paine, writing to religious pacifists in 1775:

"The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside. Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them; the weak would become a prey to the strong."

I'm sure most of you don't know/care who Megan McArdle is, but if you ever see her name on a byline feel free to skip that story.

My guess is that we're going to get a law anyway, and my hope is that it will consist of small measures that might have some tiny actual effect, like restrictions on magazine capacity. I'd also like us to encourage people to gang rush shooters, rather than following their instincts to hide; if we drilled it into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly, because even a guy with a very powerful weapon can be brought down by 8-12 unarmed bodies piling on him at once. Would it work? Would people do it? I have no idea; all I can say is that both these things would be more effective than banning rifles with pistol grips.

She really wrote that.

They should do a prank at her building, have a fake gunman go in there shooting blanks and see how she reacts, 1000 bucks says the bitch is full of hot air and she'd do like George Costanza in the Seinfeld episode where he pushes kids and old people out of the way to get out first of the burning house. Always seems to be that those who talk the loudest are usually the first to fold like cheap seats.

National Rifle Association spokesman Andrew Arulanandam emails the first statement from the organization since Friday's massacre in Newtown.

National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown.

Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting.

The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again.

The NRA is planning to hold a major news conference in the Washington, DC area on Friday, December 21.
