Just gonna put my desire to own a cool looking, solidly operating range rifle into the "dreams" section of my brain. At least then I can stop caring about American gun laws.

who says you can't own one?
even nanny state brits can own bolt actions
[QUOTE=Aman VII;38879669]You guys ban utilitarian knives because god forbid it folds out and is longer than 2 inches. Sorry not the society I'd want to live in with that type of attitude[/QUOTE]
only if you take it on the street and whip it out in front of the police like a moron

Sure he didn't snag him right from the get go but isn't that better than letting him leave?[/QUOTE]
Except the picture seems to be saying quite strongly that he had been stopped, when in actual fact he was leaving and seemed to have finished his work.
[quote]I am not insane, I am angry. I killed because people like me are mistreated every day. I did this to show society, push us and we will push back. ... All throughout my life, I was ridiculed, always beaten, always hated. Can you, society, truly blame me for what I do? Yes, you will. ... It was not a cry for attention, it was not a cry for help. It was a scream in sheer agony saying that if you can't pry your eyes open, if I can't do it through pacifism, if I can't show you through the displaying of intelligence, then I will do it with a bullet.[/quote]
This sort of thing gets ignored, which is a great shame.

Yeah, I just had previously hoped to own some kind of AK in my life. Plenty of WWII era weapons out there to drool over. I might even come to support these new gun regulations without my own personal desires in the way.

I can carry a knife without fear of big brother seeing me having it in Canada
good on you, you have no reason to carry a knife in the uk however!
Assault weapons, ban hands!
Because criminals and psychopaths really give a shit what a weak, ineffectual president says they can and can't buy.

I would just be happier if they took a bigger approach on psychological care than the bans on assault weapons.

place greater responsibility on firearm ownership, including liability insurance to help enact certain regulations and gaps like these will hopefully become less common
Connecticut already fucking HAS an "assault weapon" ban, and look how far that got them.
So I have to get rid of half of my guns, that have cost me thousands to maintain over the 4-5 years I have lived in these great United States.....
Well, fuck.

Was the rifle used in the shooting legal by AWB terms? I haven't seen anyone mention that.
the best part about the 16 page debate in this thread is that i can consistently look at my ticker and determine that i am, in fact, the funniest man alive

It really seems like nobody will. The same thing popped up last time and nobody seemed to do anything about it. The politicians are too busy caring about A. their own agenda that has nothing to do with guns or B. trying to push for a hard crackdown on gun laws.
Assault weapons are the demon themself!

No one says you [i]have[/i] to get rid of them. Just keep 'em.

I'll probably just stick 'em in between my mattress. It's so stupid, no one will ever care to look.

From a friend of a friend. Probably the saddest part about how politicians are going to use this shooting is how irrelevant gun laws really were.

is that guy seriously suggesting we target antisocial people as potential mass murder suspects
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38884968]the rifle wasn't even used in the shooting[/QUOTE]
That almost makes this even worse! So, because he [i]could[/i] have used it but didn't, they should be banned? Riiiiight...
you will never fix American society into peacefully coexisting with more relaxed laws
[QUOTE=Bobie;38885091]is that guy seriously suggesting we target antisocial people as potential mass murder suspects[/QUOTE]
In the context of psychology, "antisocial" means psychopaths and sociopaths; in other words, those who do not have empathy and/or do not care about the rights of other people.
[QUOTE=Bobie;38885091]is that guy seriously suggesting we target antisocial people as potential mass murder suspects[/QUOTE]
No, he's (lightly) criticizing US society really (and as above, he doesn't simply mean the socially awkward or w/e in highschool. That's just how parents use the term.). He's just pointing out the truths, not suggesting any fixes. I'm not a politician either, I don't know how to fix what we have wrong, but gun laws are not the only answer.

and why the hell should we treat somebody as a suspect if they do not have empathy?
it's incredible how you guys shit your pants about your own freedoms but are so quick to take away other people's.

Point out where we suggested we throw them into prison. Yeah I can't find that either.
This ban is pointless. You can 'assault' someone with any kind of gun or weapon. Hell you could technically assault someone with a paperclip if you tried hard enough.
No matter how hard to try and restrict guns, some batshit crazy person's always going to do what their batshit crazy mind tells them to do.
