quote: ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf An AR-15 being used or not, was never an issue with me. I felt it was a political tool from the beginning. I had also said that what was done could have been done with a couple of pistols and spare clips. That being said, whether an AR-15 was used or not, has no bearing on the fact that there needs to be better people control with items that are dangerous to the public. I am not talking the extremes that many others are, just some common sense ones that are used with other various dangerous items in our society. The biggest problem in the entire debate is the fact that many want to politicize everything, and then use extremes on both sides. This is not conducive to problem solving. quote: ORIGINAL: LizDeluxe More information on the Sandy Hook shooting. Lanza did not use an AR-15 semi-automatic "military style assault rifle" in the attack. They found four handguns in the school. Our liberal media. Report first - retract later. Adam Lanza did not use AR15 weapon He also was not wearing body armor as was reported... but I don't want to get the rhetoric tangled up in facts. The folks who want something done,parents in particular,normal folks,moderates,non and A-political folks...are NOT extremists. Who speaks for them? We know who speaks for the right and we know that La Pierre is an extremist.

We know who speaks for the right and we know that La Pierre is an extremist. People who want "something" done? No, not just "something". They want something specific done. And as it happens, those who don't think that particular something is reasonable or likely to be effective are also "normal" folks, parents, etc. In fact, in my experience it's almost invariably the extremists who brand somebody who disagrees with them an "extremist."

OrionTheWolf -> RE: Why people support higher capacity magazines (1/23/2013 12:09:22 PM)
Are you saying that those are the only ones that want something done? Are you possibly too used to someone arguing with you over something, that you come out with an antagonistic assumption? You also seem to lace your comment with "normal folks" and a list, which then implies others are not normal. It is these types of commentaries that lace the discussions with emotional mines that veer the topic away from a solution. Try and work the middle ground for a solution. What I see as the two extreme is those that want to ban and put heavy restrictions on firearms and those that want none. Somewhere in the middle of that is a solution. quote: ORIGINAL: Owner59 The folks who want something done,parents in particular,normal folks,moderates,non and A-political folks...are NOT extremists.

The NRA....want`s something done alright.....more guns.... Not normal.

OrionTheWolf -> RE: Why people support higher capacity magazines (1/23/2013 12:39:04 PM)
Again you come back with an extreme response. Try the middle ground. The middle ground. That is where the solutions will be found. Can you not see where the arguing over the extreme just muddies the waters? quote: ORIGINAL: Owner59 The NRA....want`s something done alright.....more guns.... Not normal.

Owner59 -> RE: Why people support higher capacity magazines (1/23/2013 12:46:33 PM)
I would put you in the not extremist camp on the conservative side. Same with Kirata so I`m not speaking about you or others who`re at least reasonable. But implying that folks who want something done(as in not more guns, btw) are extreme or the counter part of the extremists on the right/NRA is dishonest. Sorry but the right does NOT speak for the middle/moderates/normal folks. Please show us......the normal people........... ANYTHING rational that LaPierre has said in the last month?

Doesn`t anyone realise where the 2nd ammendment comes from? t the time of the wrting of the constition, the `enemy` was not the taliban or communists or anything else; it was feudalism. One of the tenents of european feudalism was that aristocrats could wear swrods and peasents couldnt. This had become a somewhat decadent concept, but it the early days of feudalism it made sense, Aristocrats were often military they ahd military obligations to the king, and the legislation was not designed to put weapons into the hands of a minority, but rahter to keep them out of the hands of the majority. The writers of the constitution were trying to break with feudal traditions and wanted to say that everyman is equal to an aristocrat, and missed the point that feudalism had had a viable realistic system that kept weapons out of the hands of the majority. thus the legislation that allows possesion of guns is just obsolete, an anachronism. its as silly as the old brit law in the early days of motoring that obliged cars to ahve a man with a red flag walking in front of them. Everyone knows all too well that the world is full of idiots and crazies, letting them walk around with guns is just plain stupid.

I don't get it or I don't get where you got it. What crazies are they seeking to arm ? Got a link or something to prove that ? The NRA seeks to get crazies off the street and out of polite society, institutionalize them and keep them there. I have proof of that too. If I thought you were really interested aside from your hyperbolic BS I would even post a link or 2. Normal folks would take a moment to educate themselves on what the NRA is all about and wouldn't say rediculas shit like that.

http://www.ct.gov/despp/cwp/view.asp?Q=517284&A=4226 In previous press conferences, the Connecticut State Police clearly identified all of the weapons seized from the crime scene at Sandy Hook Elementary School. To eliminate any confusion or misinformation, we will again describe and identify the weapons seized at the school crime scene. Seized inside the school: #1. Bushmaster .223 caliber-- model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round magazine #2. Glock 10 mm handgun #3. Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun Seized from suspect’s car in parking lot: #4. Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun (seized from car in parking lot) This case remains under investigation. Lt. J. Paul Vance

Well,there`s a new lunatic fringe effort to say that the AR-15 was left in the car and not used in the killing of 20 UMs.......Facebook is poping with the posts. The MSM is "trying to politicize" the story by purposely making misstatements......

I don't know anything about the silencer thing and I don't know what you're referring to on the 40%. None of us are apposed to shoring up the background check situation. If indeed it's really as high as 40% not checked is is debatable. As for magazines a handgun owner is not going to be satisfied with 10 rounds for their full size handgun when that weapon is capable of holding 13, 15 or more in a magazine that fits flush with the grips. That would be illogical and abnormal. What is not normal is the government and others trying to outlaw an entire class of firearms while pretending it doesn't violate the 2nd amendment thinking somehow it will have an effect on crime or mass murder.

I admit it, I am a gun extremist. I want GE Mini Guns for home defense. I want 50 cal machine guns to hunt deer (they have armed themselves by the way.) I want children licensed to carry guns in school I want teachers in body armor. I want Tazzy under my control.

Don't keep up with LaPierre, and I believe that to be a good thing. Then my thinking and rationale is not influenced by polarization. Rather than focus on what LaPierre, or any extremist is saying, why not focus on the middle ground and finding a solution? I know it is not as exciting, but in the end I believe will be more productive. quote: ORIGINAL: Owner59 I would put you in the not extremist camp on the conservative side.
