Yeah, it's a big load of crap. The AR was in the trunk and not used - he used a pistol.

The other thing that's a joke is that say we have a .223 that is wood stock and looks like a hunting rifle, and it's perfectly fine. But stick a black synthetic stock and paintjob on it, and a pistol grip, and now it's an "assault weapon."

What a joke. These people making laws about guns don't even know anything about them.

Chaqa, but everyone wants to grab guns, even though it was reported the FIRST hour by the police, that it was hand guns, not the Bushmaster.

I 100% remember askign this question to Drau "wtf is with the switch up". I was laughed at by some liberals here, as a CT, but now I am being proven RIGHT.

I'm a gun guy myself. Not a crazy, government-hating redneck, but I like to shoot guns. I have a .22 that I use for target shooting, a sporting-clay shotgun, and an M1 Garand I got because I love WW2 history and it's an interesting piece.

We have several handguns, mostly for target shooting and self-defense, but they're locked up, as are all the others.

The biggest issue I have is that everyone misses the issue.

The issue isn't guns, by itself. The issue is mental health, first, and second, gun awareness and education - keep your guns secure, away from the untrained and unfit for use of them - kids, mentally challenged, etc.

The media is blaming video games, guns, violent movies, but the real issue here is way too complex for one thing to be at fault - America is a nation of guns, always has been, and we have to live with that, and be aware of it.
