Guns Banned?
I cannot imagine how Griz would have dispatched the 2 pigs he slaughtered the other day...with a knife?Much suffering it would bring the poor critter.
Many times we hace had to use different calibers of guns for different things throughout the years.Animals that stalked my little girl and killed my dog and 30 plus chickens.Living where we do we have them for self-protection,(the law takes forever to get here).We have also had to end the suffering of an animal a time or 2,without something what would we do?Hit it in the head with a rock and hope we killed it?
The saying say "Outlaw guns and then only criminals will have guns".Stricter application for permits required safety classes locked cabinets when children are residing there.Wait a Minute! Why weren't her Guns in a locked cabinet?she failed her son greatly and indirectly caused the life of the children to be lost.She is guilty also,she had to have known better.If my child had a problem I would know and seek help.

Well stated Brice.
I think what you're really concerned with the the magazines or the capacity there of. There is not a difference between a semi automatic rifle and a semi automatic assault rifle. Capacity.... yes, otherwise... no.
Respectfully, what is the real difference between an assault rifle and a semi automatic rifle?
Wow, very powerful post, brice.
You presented the info with facts, with statistics, and there is a lot of truth in what you say.
It boils down to the same argument...the criminals will find a way no matter what. I agree with that.
The emotional part of me is okay with a ban on automatic weapons, or "assault weapons", whatever you call it. The logical part of me says...you're changing the line in the sand, where does it end. If the next mass murder is committed with a shotgun, do we ban those?
I FULLY respect everyone's opinion on this issue too, btw. From the people who want to ban them all, to people like brice. They're all valued opinions. This is a debate that will go on forever.
Like I said, personally, I don't have a big comfort level around guns because I wasn't raised with them at all, but at the same time, I've watched my hubby and all of his guns, and like you explained brice...he knows his way around a gun...he respects them completely. He treats every gun as if it were loaded, even if HE unloaded it himself. His guns are locked up in a gun safe, only HE has access to it. He loves to hunt, to target practice, and feels safer that he could protect us and our home. I respect that and feel he deserves his rights.
This issue has been hard on him. He actually joined the NRA yesterday. He's outaged about the call for gun control. He HIMSELF said he'd hand over every damn gun he has if he thought it would prevent this kind of thing from happening, but he's like many others, and feels it just wouldn't make one bit of difference. Our son is this man's world...he's 7 and in first grade, like so many of the kids who were killed. He watches the news coverage in silence, and the ONLY thing he has said about it to me is, "There's nothing more unimaginable than something like that". I KNOW this has cut him to the core. So, it goes without saying that those who are passionate about their gun rights don't hold onto their stance because they don't care about what happened...far from it.
Just a difference of opinion on a heart-tugging issue, like so many others. I think doing SOMETHING is okay...I think it's more symbolic than anything,...people need to feel as though they have taken some kind of action. I think you could ban fully auto guns without severely affecting the gun rioghts of the people...but it has to stop there. To do more and more TRULY places the 2nd ammendment at risk. That being said, I DO understand how people like brice and my hubby feel that even THAT is too much. I get it,
It's an impossible situation, without a doubt. Thanks all of you for the great info about guns, btw...you're all very knowledgeable!

You're very welcome. Glad that I could contribute.
Nobody is (or at least, I'm not) advocating a ban on ALL semi-automatic or automatic guns........ the topic of this conversation was Assault Rifles, and that's the "only" thing I would support a ban on. Assault Rifles are simply not needed in civilian life.
