Another example of a nut being able to buy a weapon designed for mass killing of people and using it exactly as it was designed to be used.

How many thousands more will have to die until we ban assault rifles?

I think this person was using stolen credit cards which is probably why he managed to slip past the identity checks here. I just wish I could get his contact info from an admin so I could file a police report in his city.

"Had you shot that guy, it would have been a big, fat mess," the interviewer pointed out:
Zamudio agreed:
"I was very lucky. Honestly, it was a matter of seconds. Two, maybe three seconds between when I came through the doorway and when I was laying on top of [the real shooter], holding him down. So, I mean, in that short amount of time I made a lot of really big decisions really fast. … I was really lucky."
I suppose a guard in a church somewhere might have gotten lucky, too.But too often, trained officers get killed in domestic violence calls and they know the risks and are prepared when they go in.
The other day in China, where they have STRICT gun laws, the perps who go off often use knives and hammers and the one yesterday did so with a bunch of kids in a class but most survived the assault. I don't think they would have survived if they were shot with an assault rifle or the other weapons used in today's murders.
I believe we ought to start with bans of assault rifles and large capacity magazines.

Sorry, I don't think that's much of a reason.

That same Sup. Ct. said that reasonable controls on arms are allowable. Doing away with AR-15's isn't going to ruin anyone's life. Being killed by one will.

And your argument comparing a vehicle to an AR-15 is like comparing an AR-15 to air. One is used for a purpose needed to live a normal life and at least in this country is a necessity to live. The other is a deadly toy not needed for anything unless you want to kill as many people as you can in the shortest amount of time or as you suggested go out and shoot things up for fun. A short barreled shotgun is a better defensive weapon as well. There simply isn't a reason these weapons should be mass produced and sold.

The Court ruled that there IS a right for reasonable controls on just exactly what "arms" you can bear, whether you like it or not.

And some day, that right will be subject to a reasonable control by the banning of these weapons when enough people die as the triggers are pulled on these types of weapons on innocent people, whether you like it or not. It's just a matter of time.
