Don't you know those evil AR's have mythical powers and just being around one results in someone loosing all control and going on a murder spree.

Nothing magical about the fact that the large amount of readily available firearms lends to the vast amounts of gun violence and mass shootings we see occurring in the United States. That isn't voodoo, it's common sense.

And that statement is just as silly as nobody is being disarmed. Even if we do ban the AR15 and AK47 you will still have a department store of choices available to you to meet your Second Amendment uses.

The problem with your position is the 'we can't solve everything therefore we do nothing' stance.

The problem with your poisition is: since criminal A abused gun type X it is cause to ban all guns of type X. When will that argument ever cease to be used? Likely when criminal abuse of guns stops or all types of guns are banned.

True, yet taking item X off the menu because it was eaten by a criminal is bound to affect more than goose liver pate.

Easily ignored. That's not strict regulation. People can ignore labels and eat what they want and as much unhealthy food as they want.



I'm not talking about unsafe food --- unhealthy food.



Yet, every summer children are found drowned in pools. TWO happened near me in the past few months.



And there are plenty of firearm penalties and restrictions too.

None of these are extreme regulations.

Swimming pools aren't designed for no other purpose that to drill holes in people. Shootings are seldom accidental; swimming pool drownings usually are. That's the difference.

Yes they did. That is part of the price we pay for our guns. But at least the NRA will put up the names on their large WALL OF MARTYRS at their headquarters honoring those innocents who died paying the ultimate price for others to keep and bear arms.

Oh wait!!!! There is no wall honoring those innocents. They do not even get that.

Never mind.

What utter nonsense! Please explain how you think you'd get on shooting your little pop-gun at the Abrams rolling up your street, or the Apache lighting up your neighbourhood. You wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. 'Armed citizenry', pfft.

Hey guy, is the war in Afghanistan still raging on?

You know, those guys that have mainly AK-47's against the greatest military on earth?

Yeah, but when an actual battle takes place it's what?

AK-47's against the greatest military on earth

Lesson over

Let's not forget we're discussing a highly motivated, well-organised, trained and inventive force fighting a hated invader, and not a bunch of disorganised, untrained, undisciplined weekend armchair warriors who take the occasional pot-shot at a paper target.

(LOL)

Kinda like these unorganized bunch of guys right Snakestreatch?

Run... British run!

Back to Boston!!!(LOL)

The British sustained considerable casualties which would have been worse had they not been out of range of the militiamen's muskets. The British made their way back to Boston through Lexington where the fighting started again. The battle continued until the British survivors reached a place of safety under the guns of the warships anchored off Charlestown, a neighborhood of Boston. The Americans camped for the night at Cambridge and began the siege of Boston and the Battle of Fort Ticonderoga.

Scary black rifles are rarely used to commit crime. If the reason for taking an item off of the menu is that criminals occasionally abuse that item then all guns could be taken off of the menu for that same reason. After all, the VT mass shooter managed to kill 32 people using only handguns (the gun of choice by most criminals). Obviously, if scary black rifles could be banned for their criminal abuse potential then so could handguns.

Are you serious? Let's be clear here, without the French money, guns, troops, ships and military leadership Ben Franklin begged from France, you would have been toast. I still don't understand why you posted the above; is it supposed to be some kind of intelligent response?
