Are you offering this as rationale for 100 round magazines? I am just asking...
The above is exactly the kind of marketing I was talking about. I really think gun manufacturers have little rooms with marketing people designing these little posters. It makes it a lot easier to not think about something and just repeat what they hand you...
Ban hi-capacity trucks... you are comparing a car accident to this shooting? Saying if I blame loose gun laws then I should blame big trucks. Are you being serious? Please don't take anything I am saying personally, we are just talking about a point of disagreement. I just can't see it like you do at all.
What does one have to do with the other? I find it a real stretch to to say a car accident is on the same level as someone going into a theater and spraying people with bullets.
FWIW, those of you who think I am all for banning guns, I am not. I have mixed feelings on the subject. But I can tell you that a kid I used to work with... I would consider him borderline mentally unstable.. showed me an arsenal that would put a military depot to shame. How does one get these things? It was completely nuts what he had and it made me completely uncomfortable. It is not hard at all to get guns, and if you guys are saying the whole gun show thing is a myth, I don't think you are checking your facts. That's just one hole out of a hundred anyway... I don't want to get into details and arguments over what doesn't matter but overall it is waaaaaaay too easy to get guns in this country. You can call them semi-auto, assault rifle, revolver, whatever. On the whole, it is TOO EASY. There are TOO MANY floating around.
I ask why you need a semi auto to hunt deer, and I get "why do you need a car that goes 180 when the speed limit is 60". Is this a logical argument? I am baffled at some of these comparisons.
And this hunting thing has made this a very gray line. Suddenly everyone is a hunter. It's pretty shitty when your mother or brother goes to see a movie and winds up dead. I am not saying go ban all guns but you gotta do SOMETHING more than we do now.
