I believe it was also Awareness who referred to an AR 15 as a "high-powered weapon", as do many of the gun-grabbers. Of course, they also refer to it as an assault rifle. It is not.
Jesus Christ, what do you call a "high-powered weapon"? Does it have to fire a .50 anti-materiel round before you'll concede it's "high-powered"?

Fuck a duck, you gun nuts really do tie your sense of manhood to your weapons. It's pathetic.

The .223 is not considered a powerful enough round to go deer hunting in most states.
The projectile is much smaller than most hunting rounds. In this respect it would even ranks behind the 30-30, a round developed in the 19th century.
You don't even understand the terms of the debate.
Any thing beyond a 30-06 woud be a high powered rifle.
Since you don't shoot you have no way of knowing how little relative power the .223 has so why don't you just keep quite and learn somthing.

Well, obviously: the .223 is clearly a harmless round that bounced off everybody it was shot at in that night club, didn't it? Barely even a bullet at all...

Even a .22 lr can kill, that doesn't make it a high powered rifle, particularly since a lot of pistols use it.
I see you can only repsond to facts with sarcasim, at least I hope you were being sarcastic.

As the fact I'm responding to was a statement that the bullet used to kill or wing 53 people isn't a proper hunting round and nobody serious would dream of using it, sarcasm is about all it deserves. The .223 seems to have worked pretty well under the circumstances, after all.
Or was your point supposed to be some sort of snottily homophobic diss implying that the poor bastards shot by this dickhead didn't deserve anything better than a bullet properly used for vermin control rather than hunting?

So apparently, you again have no logical counterargument.

Seems to indicate that these "estimated violent crimes" are handled without assault rifles,
and that indeed, the NRA's answer to everything is "more people need more guns."

Given that you've no evidence to the contrary, it's a fair position.

Lol, literally. Your clever little trap was so obvious. You still haven't posted any facts on anything. You've just spouted your koolaide inspired hallucinations. Good in ya. Have at it. You're not worth time. Make whatever assumption you want.

Actually, from what you've just said, you know nothing about the NRA. You'll need to google again. And...yes...if you try to argue it I'll make you look like you're talking out of your ass again. So back pedal now, stop now, or be an igit. You choose.
Dude, the NRA is a political organisation which advances the cause of firearm manufacturers. Oh, they sweep up the gun-nuts because people whose sense of manhood is tied up in their weapons equate gun control with castration - but make no mistake, the NRA is about keeping the populace afraid and selling them more guns.

Or haven't you noticed that the NRA's solution to everything is: "More guns"?

Believe me, if you're trying to argue the NRA has any fucking credibility whatsoever then you're the one who's going to make a fucking fool of yourself. Their lies and propaganda are legendary.


I agreed with you earlier that when Lucy just laughes at you it wasn't a response and did show her ignorance. It's tough now not to do the same. I'm not going to google here, but as I last recall the NOW national organization of women had something like a couple of hundred members and the NRA had six million.
Right because the NRA will never exaggerate their number of members will they? And we shouldn't point out that NRA members are actually a tiny minority of gun owners either, should we? Or that the income it received from membership dues fell by 27% in 2014?

And for reference, NOW claims to have around half a million members.... like you, I presume they're exaggerating but I'm guessing "a couple of hundred" is probably really not close to accurate.

quote:


Just on that basis alone, the organization you describe above is absurd. If what you propose were true those in the gun culture would leave the organization in droves.
Well based on the numbers, the NRA membership represents only 5% of the gun-owning community. So it doesn't exactly sound like a representative voice for gun owners.,

quote:

Having actually been a member of and reading NRA material for years I can't recall that the NRA's answer is always more guns, so please provide a link for that. I'm betting you can't or won't, you'll back pedal.
You mean the NRA's response to National Gun Violence Day which was "go to the range and splurge on a new gun" wasn't about more guns? Sure seems like it.

Or their response to Sandy Hook which was "put armed police officers in every school" while blaming music videos and video games., no that definitely didn't happen. Although it did and it sure seems a lot like "moar guns!"

Or their response to Virgina Tech which was "put armed security guards in schools" and then later attack the relatives of the victims because they advocated for gun control.

And of course, the NRA itself and its political lobbying arm "the NRA Institute for Legislative Action" would never take money from the firearms industry, now would they? Oh wait... they do.

And let's not mention how the NRA - after every single fucking one of these tragedies - insists "it's not time to talk about gun control - let the victims grieve". Shortly after which, they induce a panic that "the Democrats are going to take everyone's guns" so the idiot men-children of the NRA will go out and buy more weapons. Which they do. Because they're easily led.

Also, could you explain to me why the NRA wants suspected terrorists to be able to buy guns?. Just a quick explanation of why the guys we won't let on planes should be able to buy assault weapons. C'mon dude, that should be an easy one.

quote:

Look, it's your own Wayne La Pierre who insists “only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun", despite a study of active shootings between 2002 and 2013 showing that in only 3.1% of cases did intervention by armed individuals who were not law enforcement actually end the incident. That's less than the success rate by unarmed citizens (13.1%) and much less than the shooter ending the incident through suicide (23.1%). The idea that armed citizens are going to prevent shootings is a fucking fantasy.

Had enough? Because these fucking clowns have hung themselves over and over again and anyone who really thinks the NRA is not a tool of the firearm manufacturers is clearly two sandwiches short of a picnic.




You're boring me. You dodge around facts because you don't want to admit you're wrong or ignorant to begin with. Hey, I have no problem with you having an anti-gun prejudice. Have at it. But, you really don't know enough to argue that point.


Ya, I meant to type a couple of hundred thousand. One fact you've gotten correct. You really are better at arguing feminism.

Most of your quotes above are from mediamatters. An organization established to lie and lean left. Whatever they say shouldn't be part of objective debate. And, having said that, I don't discount leftist news organizations like some leftists discount conservative news organization.

Your Washington Post thing decrying the NRA suggesting putting armed police in schools is completely contrary to what all of the leftist in my part of California are doing. They are doing exactly what the NRA suggested.

Your Slate article decries statements like this from the NRA:

"After the April 16, 2007, Virginia Tech shootings that killed 32 people: “The NRA joins the entire country in expressing our deepest condolences to the families of Virginia Tech University and everyone else affected by this horrible tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families."

To me it sounds exactly like the 72-hour rule here. Besides, Obama and other leftists always do break that rule using the tragedies to call for more government control. So I gotta go with the NRA here, it's reasonable to me.

Your NYDailwyNews article is biased and one sided. There are well known, and huge, flaws in that system. It's now come down to people like Hillary using it as politics rather than fixing it. If the NRA doesn't want Americans to loose rights because of an incompetent government, why is that a problem to you?

I haven't had enough because your only quotes were nonsense posted by media matters and leftist opinion articles that contain no facts and don't discuss both sides of the issue. Rather I'd ask you, why are you basing your thoughts on leftist opinion that isn't rooted in any fact. I think you should be having enough.

The .223 isn't a proper hunting round generally. Any bullet can be used by experts with expert care. I've given the energy information earlier. You seem to have ignored that. I even discussed within the context of a closed space like the bar where the shooting happened.

You can go ask anyone who's done a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan. While the .223 did well on small Vietnamese when it first came out, it just doesn't work well on Middle Eastern size people and above. Most soldiers will tell you it'll take about three rounds from the M-4 to put a larger person down. You can be silly about this all you want. But, I gave you the energy numbers earlier so it'll show you're just trying to be cute.

He didn't use a bomb.
It's conceivable that he might have resorted to a bomb if he hadn't been able to get hold of couple of firearms. However, he didn't need to be able to make a bomb.

So, you acknowledge that he could have used a bomb, right?

I acknowledge that he didn't use a bomb, and that he didn't have to because it was so easy for him to get hold of an AR-15 and an automatic pistol.


Of course, you know it was a rhetorical question, as you've already posted that he could have used a bomb (see bold above).

I understand you must be suffering severe mental anguish over having to acknowledge that the gun wasn't the reason, but want to really believe guns are the reason. You'll get over it soon enough.

While he didn't claim Fox News Channel uses critical thinking skills, he also didn't try to validate Fox News as a source.

What he did do, is claim there was a lack of critical thinking skills among those who would rather oppose the messenger rather than the message. What happens if Fox News Channel and HuffPo post the same story? Then what? You're head going to explode because Fox News Channel was actually right?!?

If Fox News Channel is wrong in what was linked, show them to be wrong. There are but a few on here that won't acknowledge that Fox News Channel was wrong when they are definitively shown to be wrong.

You tell the Navy SEAL who could have shot Osama Bin Laden anywhere in the body, but shot him twice in the head, just exactly how smart you are and how much you know about the subject. Maybe he'll be interested to know that nobody takes headshots.
Navy SEALs are special forces not law enforcement. Their training is as far above law enforcement as Mozart is above Brittany Spears. They can take a headshot because they're amongst the most heavily trained and selectively recruited operatives in the world and Seal Team 6 trained for fucking weeks in a carefully reconstructed copy of Bin Laden's compound.

That is so very smart.

Yeah, it is a proper hunting round, most states allow it for deer hunting, and a few for bear and moose, and some of those .223s will shoot the 5.56 without wrecking the gun, some will handle it but wear out quickly, higher pressures, still and all, about what we use to hunt humans with, innit?

Who cares? Part of the problem with the USA is that you guys seem to think that rights don't also come with responsibilities. The problem with owning a gun is that human beings are creatures of passion and everyone turns into a fucking lunatic when they're under duress.


You're dead ass wrong. There are shit tons of people who fully believe that the right to own a firearm comes with huge responsibility to use properly. Most people who have CCW's are the ones who take the responsibility part to heart.

There are millions of people in the US that care about the Constitutional right to own a gun.

Well given the USA has more guns than people, it'd be hard to say but you can probably figure a 3rd of the population has a semi-automatic.

How many people in the US that have guns that fire that fast went on a shooting rampage? It's not having a gun that causes people to kill.
Actually that's not true. Crime is primarily a consequence of means, motive and opportunity. A gun provides the means by which an individual can indulge their darker passions. It's why suicide by firearm is such a huge problem - because you can off yourself in the blink of an eye with a gun, whereas other methods either require more will (because you'll suffer pain) or will take longer, thus increasing your opportunity to cool down or be interrupted.


Means, motive and opportunity? Um, there are plenty of means, and why can't we talk about the motive? I think that's the bigger issue here.

You ignore a shit ton of people that have the means and the opportunity, but have no, or little motive to go on a rampage. Why?

quote:

People are too emotionally unstable to be walking around with death in their pockets. The idea that this is a constitutional right is insane and the idea that you're going to defend your home against the US government is a fantasy (drones!).


Perhaps the instability of people might be another thing that needs to be addressed, then, eh?

Obviously, you have an issue understanding that the US Constitution spells out that US Citizens have the right to bear arms, and that the highest court in the US has already determined that US Citizens have a right to keep and bear arms, even if they aren't in a militia.

Specifically to prevent massacres like Port Arthur from ever happening again. So specifically to reduce gun deaths.

You tell the Navy SEAL who could have shot Osama Bin Laden anywhere in the body, but shot him twice in the head, just exactly how smart you are and how much you know about the subject. Maybe he'll be interested to know that nobody takes headshots.
Navy SEALs are special forces not law enforcement. Their training is as far above law enforcement as Mozart is above Brittany Spears. They can take a headshot because they're amongst the most heavily trained and selectively recruited operatives in the world and Seal Team 6 trained for fucking weeks in a carefully reconstructed copy of Bin Laden's compound.

Oh...yes, terrorists wear bomb vests, so let's shoot them in the bomb! Oh...yes, Greta's example was middle eastern men running a roadblock with torsos hidden by the car and possibly bomb vests on so let's shoot through the car at something we can't see, let the bullets possibly deflect off the metal to God knows where into the crowd and possibly set off the vest bomb. That is so very smart.
Finally! Now that's an actual legitimate reason to take a head shot. Everything else you've come up with is just so much fluff. Christ.



Your quote was, "Headshot exist in video games, movies, and in the lives of professional snipers. Period."

You've argued that point until you've lost every point. You really haven't argued them well. Now you say, well...er...professional snipers and/or other Special Forces that are trained more than police. Would that, perhaps, include police SWAT teams and or border people specifically looking for infiltrating terrorist? Come on, your point is lost you need to admit you shouldn't have been arguing it from the start.

Well, lookie here, I finally I've made a legitimate reason. No, finally you've seen the point I was making all along that anybody with the level of knowledge you profess to know would already understand. Besides, how many people setting car bombs run check points and do you want to shoot through the car of a car bomb.

All of that information, along with things like the 1986 FBI shootout are now correlated and used as training...as I said some posts back. The assertion that nobody takes a head shot "Period" is just silly. My brother, who as a cop, was in three gun battles that I know of, always shot for the head. Thompsonxx says he can hit a running toe at 25 yards can probably hit a head in that instance. When a guy is barricaded in a house, as is often the case, he'll be behind a barricade except for his head and hand shooting the gun. Hell, in Iraq they actually pulled highway concrete K-rails into the house to use as barricades. The CQB people couldn't even use grenades because the K-rail defeated them. I can go on...let's see, guy up stairs, as a different elevation, only his head is visible. Guy behind a tree, only his head and hands visible. I can continue. But, instead I'll just say you were wrong and you just didn't know enough to be arguing the point.
