    any­thing that can take a mag­a­zine that holds 100 rounds should not be legal ‚its not really the gun its the mag­a­zine that makes the dif­fer­ence ‚in the bat­man move case the mans 100 round mag­a­zine was in the gun and it jammed just think how many more could have died if it had not.
    you cant go deer hunt­ing with this set up so why should it be legal to own ‚whats the point.

    In “times like these” one must remem­ber, we have always lived in “times like these”. Fur­ther, the old “Wild West” was much more peace­ful than the fools of Hol­ly­wood ever por­tray it. When most were armed it made for a much more polite soci­ety, thugs knew they would be quickly dealt with and they never knew who might stop them, thus they usu­ally stopped them­selves, don’t believe that, learn real his­tory. Laws will never stop crim­mi­nals. But free cit­i­zen do indeed ahve a God given right to full self defense. Finally, the only “assu­alt” rifles are in the hands fo the mil­i­tary, or crim­mi­nals. All the rest are sin­gle shot rifles and their looks make them no more dan­ger­ous than what your grand­fa­ther may have owned.

    There’s no rea­son for indi­vid­u­als to own assault rifles. The preva­lence of guns in our soci­ety is a threat to pub­lic safety.

  4. assault weapons uses the same ammo as a deer rifle it fires one round per squeeze of the trig­ger the same as a hand gun, with proper mag­a­zine you can load 20 rounds in a hand gun. If you out­law all guns the bad peo­ple will turn to bombs or some­thing worse.It’s not the guns it’s the people.The most recent shoot­ing was in a place that allowed NO guns if some­one could have returned fire the out come might have been dif­fer­ent. Be care­ful what you wish for,you may not like it.

      AMEN. But if you out­law assault rifles (unknow def­i­n­i­tion) only the crim­i­nals will have them. A minor por­tion of the crime com­mit­ted is with any type assault refle. Guns aren’t the prob­lem, its peo­ple behav­ior. You cant reg­u­late or leg­is­late peo­ple behav­ior. Guns dont kill peo­ple, peo­ple kill peo­ple. We live in a very vio­lent cul­ture, tv, movies, inter­net, news media, video games. Its time for that to change.
