Quoted from 55tbird

Yossi, I thought all this "assault weapon" hysteria was about crime..or was I wrong?
Stop with "you don't need an assault weapon" crap.. you don't a cigarette or Alcohol either, but they are available and cause more death every year than all gun deaths COMBINED...I don't hear any ban clamor about them..

And let's get another thing straight..Assault weapons are used in 2%-8% of all gun crime, depending on what statistics you believe. The rest of gun crime was committed with some other type of gun.

"Assault" weapons look scary and are an easy sell to the public to ban. They are low hanging fruit.
But if you really want to make an impact on what guns are being used in the majority of the crimes, your aiming at the wrong target...

Quoted from Henry

Its amazing how many people KNOW what is best for others when it comes to self defense and what gun suits them best. And why do police need assault rifles then, are they going to a war zone, no they want the proper tool to stop the situation quickly if need to. The guns and magazines are already out there, no law is going to make them dissapear,20-50 years from now assault rifles will still be here and all the crying isn't going to stop it. This does not mean we shouldn't try to find ground to help protect our children, something that this law failed at miserably.

Quoted from Box A Rox

Many of the guns and magazines that are "out there" are there thanks to the NRA push to PUT THEM
THERE by working to kill support for extending the 1994 assault weapons ban.
No one in America needs an assault weapon... unless they are a criminal intent
on using those weapons in a crime... whether that crime is robbery, murder or treason.

Quoted from Henry

Because this isn't about assault weapons it is about the entire 2nd amendment, they wish to do
away with it.

Quoted from Box A Rox

Yea, LIKE THE FACT THAT AN  AR15 WAS THE WEAPON THAT SUITS ADAM LANZA BEST!
For the 26 people who he killed... it didn't SUIT THEM AT ALL!

Quoted from Henry

"Don't tell me what I need or can have, as long I don't infringe on your rights you have nothing
to worry about."

Quoted from Yossi

55 tbird--REally--I didn't see you at the rally last night in albany.  Inf act I don't see you at the SNUG meeting either.

Quoted from Henry

Being a gun free zone didn't suit them either but you don't wish to address that issue, oh
I forgot only the elite like Obama can get those luxaries like armed protection for their kids.

Quoted from Box A Rox

Said Adam Lanza to the Sandy Hook Elementary School... Nothin to worry about at all!  

Quoted from Box A Rox

Keep on topic Henry... It's about Assault weapons Ban...not Obama's kids. (Now even Henry is
hiding behind children)
BTW... The Va Tech shootings took place on a campus with it's own armed police force.

Quoted from Henry

And he infringed on their rights and if he didn't kill himself he would of been sentences for the crimes he committed. Your argument is that of we should ban all prescription drugs because some abuse them, even though that medication helps thousands.

Quoted from Henry

And were the police in that building no they were not, the shooter chained the doors leaving those students (which weren't allowed to carry) defenesless. Now if the students were allowed to carry maybe they could have saved some but your type made it impossible for them to defend themselves.
