When gun rights advocates point out that the firearms-related murders are “epidemic” in a city with some of America’s strictest gun control laws (Chicago), advocates of civilian disarmament maintain that gun control isn’t the problem. It’s the answer! Well it would be if it weren’t for those meddling kids lax gun laws in surrounding states. But the same token, how do Islamic terrorists in Paris kill dozens of innocents with AKs in an entire country with “common sense gun laws”? “The answer,” dailybeast.com scribe David Axe writes . . .

Well heck yeah. It's done an outstanding job of stopping criminals and domestic abusers from carrying out their dastardly deeds. Implement interplanetary firearm background checks now.

Correct. By accurately shooting them in the center of mass, Terrorists can be stopped. Excellent control of your gun will achieve this with minimal effort.

I think you and I are talking about different forms of "gun control".

More training using large cantalopes since apparently the evil assclowns are using body armor. Head shots are a little tougher to make when the pulse is slightly elevated.

In my training, if the bad guy might be using body armor (or just seemed to be on serious drugs), shift aim LOWER and go for the pelvis. A shattered pelvis instantly stops his mobility, and makes it easier to do a follow-up head shot.

Gun control kills the law-abiding.

And that is, quite simply, all there is to it.

According to the libs, there is no way the US can deport several million illegal migrators, but there would be no problem whatsoever confiscating 300 million firearms.

If I wasn't old and stuck on an oxygen tube, and honest, I could smuggle guns in at thousands of places along the coast. Do it just a couple of times, not many people involved, and the odds are against getting caught.

If DAESH wants full auto AKs in the USA they will have them and it won't be through any damned gun show loophole.

A well placed .300 WinMag. Loaded down to 125 or 150 grains those bad boys are hummin’ down range. Even a hit in the vest he isn’t getting up.

Maybe I missed it. Did anyone get a count of how many ‘refugees’ will be sent to D.C.? Or the surrounding VA/MD high price neighborhoods.

I learned “front sight” “press”. Two to the thoracic area and 1 to the cranial ocular cavity. Sight, shoot, repeat.

What border, that ink line on the maps?

Most of the coasts are as wide open as the Mexican border.
