I am again humbled by a freeper's technical knowledge of firearms...

They didn't teach us about 22's at Parris Island.

BTW, are they legal in NY? I'm looking for a new toy...

[Heartofsong83]

Besides, it doesn't matter what weapon criminals use, they will still meet their deadly targets. Even if a law-abiding citizen used a TANK to protect, they are doing their thing and peacefully.

i am from Pittsburgh originally but am having trouble placing where Carrick is, can you describe where it is to me? my college room mate is actually the principle in a Wilkinsburg H.S.

[green iguana]

Not too familiar with the reason for the 2nd amendment, are you?

[TheForceOfOne]

The AK-47 has committed no crime.

[dvldog03]

I love you guys...

[HereComesTheGOP]

Its in West Mifflin, Kind of near Kennywood....I grew up in Philly, and have been in the TOWN :P for 3 years.....Hope that helps....

[GingisK]

still be just as much gun violence..

There would be more, for we would revolt.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

That's the problem. I would love to see immense gun control,

You should visit England sometime.

[shaking head]

[Zechariah_8_13]

I'll agree to that... Odd isnt it, as the Assault Weapons Ban expires..the MSM has put a large emphasis on the number and details of shootings.

The families are in my prayers.

I wonder if there's anywhere I can look up shooting statistics and compare/contrast the last few weeks to the average. Does anyone know?

I know there have been a few extreme incidents lately, but some of these stories don't seem like the type to usually make the national news.

[Physicist]

There is NO good reason for AK-47's to be "on the streets".

A representative of President Hillary Clinton's BATF is at your door to confiscate your .22 and your 20-gauge. Do you have an answer for him?

[Diddle E. Squat]

Yeah, I know, common sense has been nearly driven out of here by spamming, hysterical, foaming at the mouth purists. Obviously I must use the constitution for toilet paper since I disagree with how broadly it be intepreted on a single issue.

Yep, sooner or later, everyone is a RINO except you. Life's a b!tch, ain't it?

[xsmommy]

oh ok, that side of the river. and yeah, of course i know about KENNYWOOD! Pittsburgh is a wonderful city, i love going back to visit. my son plays travel ice hockey and so i was there this past fall for a tournament. thanks!

[Heartofsong83]

Keep reading what I wrote - if it worked and all was peaceful, that would be great. But it doesn't work. Criminals don't respect gun control laws at all, it would just leave everyone else defenseless (including law-abiding citizens, police and security)

[PA BOOKEND]

IE; The Hill District, Northside, East McKeesport, etc etc etc . .
Guess you've never been to Strawberry Mansion, or other parts of Philly . . . or any other resonably large city in ANY part of the country.

[green iguana]

there is no right to a bazooka or rocket launcher

You'll find plenty here who disagree.

[HereComesTheGOP]

Take the stadiums out of Pittsburgh, and it becomes Syracuse!
:) (Needs residential downtown aka Center City)

[SoothingDave]

i am from Pittsburgh originally but am having trouble placing where Carrick is

Near Rt. 51 south.

[Disambiguator]

The US could repeal the 2nd Amendment and replace it with a 100% ban on firearms and there would still be just as much gun violence. Criminals don't respect laws at all.

I disagree. I think there would be much MORE gun violence perpetrated by the criminals, including those wearing govt. uniforms.

[HereComesTheGOP]

I'm from Northeast Philly....around Frankford...its not as consistantly dense there as it is here, but I'll agree to disagree :)
