Non of the mass killings were " spur of the moment " they were well planned, and all were done in supposedly " Gun Free Zones ".

Just because the media didn't use that terminology then, does not mean they were not used. By definition an assault rifle is fully automatic. The favorite weapons of choice of the bad guys in the twenties and thirties were the Thompson sub-machine gun and the Browning automatic rifle, both are what are now known as assault rifles. The rifle used by this crazy person was not an assault rifle, it was a semi-automatic.

The only facts that are important are those that support their side of the issue. Oh and by the way your facts will never be real facts. Just wait you'll see.

That was the early incorrect report. He did, in fact, use the Bushmaster. Not that it has any relevance.

It's wonderful down there, They're just living a dream. Have you not heard how difficult it is for the Mexican boarder patrol to keep all the Americans from trying to enter their country illegally.

Hey Kit..Wasn't the Tommy Gun around back then? That was a machine gun. I think any machine gun would be considered an assault rifle. They just didn't use that term.

who was the victim of such liberal and unconscionable gun laws? It will always be those who are vulnerable in our society - that's many of us. I know, you think the best defense is to arm everyone. Escalation of weapons is not the answer.
Pure freedom is anarchy at best - we go back to the laws of nature and third world countries - he who has the might rules. Let's lobby for laws that are civilized, that protect instead of hinder.

Again FotoFan it's not a question of the law, the infamous Tommy Gun was never a legal weapon, criminals had them and remember what a criminal is? A criminal doesn't care about the law so tell me what good is a law that only impact the good guys? You get the bad guys to turn in their weapons and I'll turn in mine, now how can I be more fair.

Sorry, but the medical examiner disagrees with you. He stated that all of those killed were shot with the Bushmaster.

It was made illegal to own automatic weapons in 1934 without special permission by the Feds. Apply for the permit pay the tax and you could legally own one now. ( subject to state and local laws)

Yeah that's the answer. Give Mrs. Crabtree an M-4 and train her as a member of SWAT.
Come on. That suggestion cannot be serious.
