Seems to be the decent thing to do around here. | Taking "thoughts and prayers" as an appropriate condolence to victims of gun violence is the real mockery. The lack of action from people in power is the joke. But yeah bad guys don't obey laws, and people that want less guns just want people to make a law that makes guns illegal right? Isn't that the argument? It has nothing to do with wide availability, supply, and cost. Right?

A fully automatic m-16 is practical. If it was not practical the soldiers in the US military would not carry them.

That's not to say that heavier articles aren't around, you wouldn't believe me if I told you what I've seen pass through my last workplace.
Sometimes it's not even gangs, there have been a handful of times where RCMP officers have been in possession of some pretty serious hardware at home.

The Vegas shooter used a gun bump stock instead of a fully automatic gun. Also why didn't the Oklahoma city bombers use something like a plastic explosive instead of fertilizer?

It quite literally takes thirty minutes with a hacksaw, some files and sheet steel to crudely convert an AR15 to automatic fire. If you have access to a hobby mill, you can more permanently convert an AR15 to an actual M16 with available parts. exact DOD blueprints for M16 lower receivers are readily available on google.
Example: https://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/da...007__20001.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1c/56...9e355f1a38.jpg
(BTW, this is a registered machine gun in the US) https://www.recoilweb.com/wp-content...ll-auto.02.jpg
Timothy used fertilizer because it was easy and available, it's really that simple.

And that's what I have been waiting for someone to say. If you make something harder to get less people will use it. If you make guns harder to get less people will use them.
I find it funny that the same people who don't think gun bans will work want abortion bans and support drug bans. They think banning everything else will work but somehow banning guns will never work.
The US banned the sale of new machine guns in 1986. I bet there where lots of pre 1986 machine guns out there but as time went on the number of machine guns decreased.

Banning gun is extreme and unnecessary. Mandatory training is a must and it's a joke that's there's no regulation for it. You have to go through road test to drive a vehicle which is less lethal than shooting a gun, yet there's no training requirement for gun ownership.

There’s a multi day course, background check, and referral process for gun ownership. At least in Canada.

Meanwhile, 5 percent of the counties, which made up nearly half the population, accounted for more than two-thirds of murders in the country, with the highest numbers concentrated in areas around major cities like Chicago and Baltimore.

That's just fear mongering by the NRA becase they need to keep making that money so wayne lapierre can pay the rent for his 20 something intern and go on a $26000 shopping spree for clothes.
No one needs this unless you are hunting Predator.

1314620 have licenses to carry in Texas.

CNN is showing video of the Walmart parking lot with dead bodies on the ground. They try to blur the bodies but they do a shitty job and you can see all the blood.

Poor shooter had to wear hearing protection because the damn democrats will not allow gun silencers.
Good think real Canadians are fighting for gun silencers. https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/P...Petition=e-575
