Something needs to be done. We can't continue to just pretend it's an acceptable cost for free access to guns that crazies can use them to kill large numbers of people without any sort of filter. We live in a society that has degenerated in the area of personal character that we are, as a society, no longer fit to have free access to guns. There are too many people living lives below the moral line where such actions are thinkable. And no-one is willing to make the massive changes in attitude and morals, especially since almost universally the ONLY way that is accomplished is through religious faith. But neither can we sit back and just pretend there is nothing preventative that can be done."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

And that ‘something’ lines right up with what you want to believe. How wonderful, too bad you haven’t touched a thing I sad or proved your position is true beyond emotional appeals. Sorry, but your opinion is laughable in the face of the reality that we are safer now, by almost every measure, than we were decades ago. Stop being persuaded by fear and propaganda, we’re living in one of the safest eras in human history.

When was the AR-15 designed?
How much different does it look today vs when it was first designed?
I know you don’t like your narrative being destroyed, but the biggest changes to come to guns is in using new alloy’s and composite materials in their construction. The basic design and operation, hasn’t changed in decades. What do I know though? My dad only collects antique and vintage firearms. Semi automatics, carriages, large ammo capacity, etc is a decades old technology that my great grandfather owned.
You are such a wild thing. Like Africanized bees, it takes almost nothing to provoke you into a crazed and defensive response. Best to keep one's distance.Last edited by lilpixieofterror; 06-07-2019, 01:10 PM."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.
