I saw a comment yesterday in support of stricter gun control laws. The person said that Loughner hadn’t broken any laws up until he pulled the trigger, pointing out that he was in legal possession of the gun. I personally stand by the 2nd amendment but what should one say to someone who’s using that argument?
The fact that they’re “semiautomatic” means they fire one bullet for each pull of the trigger
You hit on one of my pet peeves. By that description a bolt action rifle is semi automatic; even a single shot rifle.
I had a brother in law that lamented “why would anyone need a semi-automatic?”
I knew he was a firearm illiterate, so I asked him what “semi-automatic” meant to him. (obviously, he had in mind “select fire”)
To his credit he answered that he didn’t know.
After I explained it to him, he appeared very confused about his anti-gun mentality, but didn’t relinquish it. I don’t know if our little talk “stuck” or not.
You can bet that the FBI/ATF now has a full time lurker watching these threads because of all us “Right Wing Extremists” ranting threats at the Gubbermint!
Then, if they ever look at my background, they would find that it was they who trained me and made me. And it is their fault............
Personally, I do not wager against a sure thing.
There’s no way to prevent a leftist from sounding stupid.
“self loading with a detachable magazine” is too much of a mouthful for these folks though.
And I have nothing to hide. It’s all on the record. Including my old “Top Secret” Security Clearance which is still in my file at the Archives.
I heard one news story that said it was an assault rifle used.. These people know nothing about weapons. They only know they hate them.
Yes. That was my point why I posted a single-shot revolver photo.
Your semi has a “needs to be cocked” single action safety there pardner!

What does such a person say about gun laws that already exist and are not enforced? What good is another one?
The libs predictably use high-profile shooting cases to get more laws passed, laws which they don't enforce, because they really need the violence to get what they really want: a total ban.
THAT would be enforced, bet on it.
As to Loughner being legally in possession, the laws on background checks don't operate if there is no background. That was because the sheriff didn't do his job, which meant that Loughner's bizarre goings-on were not flagged in the database.
I glued a little plastic face of Hello Kitty to my Glock 19. Will that make it less scary to antigunners?
Gail Collins: And it certainly would also have to involve a conversation over a technology that can turn a pistol into the equivalent of a somewhat slow-moving machine gun.
A somewhat slow-moving machine gun?
Uh, I know that. I have been shooting single-shot revolvers for almost 60 years. I have a Ruger .22 single-six from the first year of production and also a Blackhawk .357 from the first year of production in addition to several others. I grew up in the days that you NEVER put six cartridges into a six shooter, always leaving an empty chamber under the hammer ... for safety.
As I'm sure you know, a common term used for encouraging voters to pick someone else in a primary is “targeting”. Since you have essentially called for “targeting” Rep. King, you have used violent, “vitriolic” and “uncivil” language that could lead (practically compel, actually) some unbalanced person to try to kill him (Unless that 1,000 foot law can be quickly passed, as we know homicidal lunatics have the utmost respect such boundaries). Shame on you! /sarc
A guide for liberal columnists who don’t want to sound stupid...
Unfortunately, his target audience (so to speak) is vanishingly small.
I think Gail Collins is in need of some sort of award for journalistic cluelessness with her comments this week. Talk about finding new lows.
