What I'm trying to say here is that by virtue of carrying a weapon capable of multiple shots without the necessity of reloading for a while, the killer was able to shoot small children so many times he actually dismembered some of them. Does that help?

This argument is getting tired. Have you ever changed a magazine? Here is how it's done.

Fast Pistol Reloading - YouTube

How many magazines was that? Did you have time to jump up and take him down? This is something shooters practice. Remember the report of an NRA pistol instruction book found in his home? You think he practiced that?

And once again, NBC news reported that he did not use a Bushmaster "assault rifle", that there were 4 pistols used. No matter how many times you repeat the lie, it doesn't make it true.

Unfortunately that is the nature of this political climate. See a victim and exploit the hell out of them for your personal agenda. It's gonna happen regardless....

Our enemies aren't at the gate they're in the throne room.

But at least we can be like the little boy who said, "But the emperor has no clothes!"
 
Is this not a First Amendment issue?

Where are the libertarians to support the First Amendment?

There is a site that's been around a long time that I won't name or link to that specializes in dead pics, and the grosser, the better. It links to porn sites, or at least it did when I became aware of it over ten years ago. Something to think about....the prurient interest.

And Adam Lanza has been described as a "glory-killer." He had worked on a spreadsheet and done research for years, including studying other mass murderers. There are other wannabes out there fantasizing about beating Lanza's "score" who would post those pics on their basement walls, look at them daily...so, no.

I know the website you're referring to. I've seen it and it is absolutely disgusting!

I agree that it seems like publicity is one of the goals. In their twisted minds, they must imagine that shooting a bunch of defenseless people is like going out in a blaze of glory or something.
 
No for the simple reason is that we apparently have a sizeable population of scum who would enjoy seeing pictures as such.

most of whom tend to be members of anti gun conspiracies or politicians bent on banning gun ownership
 
All I can say is when it first happened here in CT, a woman EMT said in passing that the bodies were in piles and they (the EMT's and the police) were unclear as to exactly what had gone on ....................

Bonz, I read a short article today that stated that Connecticut has tightened gun controls...no more large magazines for ammo, assault weapons are banned, there will be background checks. Is this true?

yes, there was a collective pants wetting by the RINOS and democrats to further destroy the second amendment rights even though none of that would have stopped Lanza

the bedwetters are upset that their gun free zone got lots of children killed and that Lanza and his mother are dead so they need someone to punish and it is the gun owners.

Good evening, TurtleDude. :2wave:

If this is going to be done on a state-by-state basis, why is DC debating this?

Ironically, the same article stated that 20 million adult Americans have applied for background checks in order to purchase guns! 20 million new applications since BHO was inaugurated! Amazing, but not entirely unexpected, I guess. They apparently don't like what they see happening around the country. :shock:

Right you are. that's why you cannot find 9mm or even 22 LR ammo

Obama has down more to sell guns than all the advertising the gun makers have bought in the last 40 years

I'll try to make reality a little more clear here...............Did you get a load of the house this woman was living in ? Do you realize she could have paid for a security guard if she was that paranoid ?..............................

so you think the only possible reason she owned firearms was because she was paranoid

I own lots of guns. I have won lots of guns. I have traveled all over the world shooting. You might not believe this but many of us who own guns do so for the same reasons other people own golf clubs, fishing rods, water skis or archery gear.
