Absolutely! Nothing online is annonymous.

>> “None of the past massacres involved thousands of rounds” <<

.
True, all they required is an UNARMED PUBLIC!

Loughner, the gunman charged in the shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (R-Ariz.) and Holmes, who is the lone suspect in the Aurora theater shootings are both believed to have used high-capacity magazines.

I wonder if there is any way for the author to find out for sure and then get back with us.

Was the Shooter “carrying” six thousand rounds of Ammunition when he committed the crime?

Now the ammunition is the problem? I thought 12 people died, not 6,000.

Only Communists, Dictators, Fascists and Nazis kill that many people at one time. Which is precisely why the Second Amendment exists.

[editor-surveyor]

He could have done the job with a machete!

Nobody in that theater was armed; who would have stopped him?

[Kickass Conservative]

Were the Founding Fathers Sportsmen? Were the members of the Continental Army Sportsmen? Does the word Sportsmen appear in the text of the Second Amendment?

Maybe it was listed right after the word “hunters”, another word I must of missed.

You have to hope for Mitten's sake the Democrats are stupid enough to make an issue of something like this near an election. There is very broad support for the 2nd Amendment even amongst those who do not own a gun and those who do will vote on this issue alone.

Who cares of he had 600,000 rounds?
Was he carrying it around in his pocket?

[NativeSon]

I doubt that wacko could lift 6k rounds, let alone pack it in and around. I just came in with 1500 rnds, my range bag and some toys and now I need multiple fine beers to recover.

[Kickass Conservative]

Five bucks for gas, .20 cents for deposit bottles, some old rags and a bic lighter would have killed ten times as many.

I guess it was a good thing they weren't screening Inglorious Bastards.

Criminals will have NO PROBLEM getting ammo - because organized crime will provide it - - giving organized crime one more income stream.

Which makes criminals and crime families more powerful...

If you don’t hate liberals, you’re not paying attention.

These idiots think nothing of 25 ga of gasoline, but bullets scare them.

[Malone LaVeigh]

The amount of ammo this guy actually used could have been bought at any Walmart any day of the week.

[Fireone]

“make it harder for criminals to anonymously stockpile ammunition through the Internet.” “
What’s anonymous about it? It has to be paid for by someone, and delivered to someone. That’s hardly anonymous.

Of course this bill will fail, the only question is the political one.

Should Boehner put it up for a vote or not- get the Congress on the record?

Would putting it to a vote just give Democrats in the House a chance to get some 2nd Amendment bonafides by castinga “nay” vote and thus help them in the upcoming election?

[elkfersupper]

The fact this gets reported is BS. These people don’t have the authority to even discuss this.

[plain talk]

they never miss an opportunity to ratchet up regulations tighter and tighter like a noose around our necks

[redgolum]

Scalia said that gun control is possible.

We will see what Mitt says.

[Carriage Hill]

Facts? Don’t confuse the lib-dem idiots with facts. Facts are stubborn things.

[Iron Munro]

Stick a rider on it ending taxpayer paid security for government officials.
