And woukdn't change the outcome anyways. While he had a rifle with him, all the reports only mention shooting people with handguns. One handgun and more mags would be just as good if not better than three different handguns.

They make it sound like he used all of these 'many' guns and magazines in the attack . It's getting quite old at this point (as are the hordes of coordinated gun-specific studies across all newsmedia, proclaiming as indisputable fact that it is in fact wettest where there is the most water)

Do we even know for sure what the actual weapon (singular) was, yet? Last I heard it was a pistol anyone except a mag-ban anti would describe as perfectly suitable for a rational, responsible person's self defense.

"Rational regulation"
These people wouldn't know reason if it bit 'em on the butt. Seriously. They speak from profound, even proud ignorance on this issue, using vague emotional appeals as their arguments, distortions or outright lies as their evidence, and arrogant hand waving as a rebuttal. That's why it is important to not try to endear ourselves to them by engaging in any sort of significant conversation or debate (by which I mean legislative/legal ones with actual consequences), since they do not operate in good faith. Knife fights are best avoided.

I continue to be astounded by the basic lack of knowledge or understanding of firearms displayed by those in the media or politics who presume to comment on gun ownership. It is an overworked analogy, but if I want to own 75 automobiles or motorcycles (think Jay Leno), whose business is it anyway?

The gun ban crowd likes to use these catch words "rational", "reasonable", "common sense"; because if you don't go along with their plans you are not rational, or being unreasonable, or you don't have common sense.

Rationing = registration, which = confiscation later..

All it takes is one, which is one more than they want you to have.

Now that is the basic truth of this.

CNN = Communist News Network.

Leanwolf: Sometimes that abbreviation fits quite well.
The fact that CNN dumped the (former BBC) twit Piers Morgan means that there might be just a Little hope. If not, at least he is gone.

Check the excellent debate between Ben Shapiro and Piers on Youtube.
Ben punches holes in all of Piers' comments and accusations about guns.

I've never seen such superb, quick counter-arguments or rebuttals in any gun debate. You might enjoy it.

I saw an unrelated show about a murder investigation yesterday with Nancy Grace. One of the accused owned 60 guns! SIXTY GUNS! She made him out to be a deranged madman. Its possible one was used in the killing, but he had SIXTY!

In this and other stories, it never ceases to amaze me how the gun count is used for dramatic effect. Even worse, the round count. Granted, these are typically criminals that are being written about but not always. The media could make a large percentage of THR members out to be lunatics who own arsenals large enough to arm a third world nation with enough ammunition to fight a war. They could make a single bulk pack of ammo sound like you were ready to take on the world.

The biggest problem with all this gun debate is that they have been allowed to set the criteria for the debate.
They get to talk as it if is assumed the root of the problem is guns.
It gives them an advantage.

What our guys should be doing RIGHT now is introducing new legislation stiffening standards for a person to be released when then they have mental issues.
Even if they get nothing done other than a debate. At least we are setting the terms and making the Libs defend. But NOPE they wont they will just play D and we will loose.
