They were likely sending the MSG. that your gun band is a stupid idea.

How much ignorance can you fit into one story?

“semiautomatic rifles that can load magazines with multiple bullets”

[oldenuff35]

I could not even read this whole thing. It is obvious from the beginning that the author is gun ignorant and gun stupid but has been fed the anti-gun political propaganda by the anti gun anti constitution folks on the left.

The author of this garbage needs to take the time to actually know what the hell they are talking about. He is speaking about guns the way a person who has never even touched one does. He/she is quite obviously gun stupid.

I was kinda lookin’ for a raffle where they were offering up the NON-dangerous type of AR. Guess I’ll keep lookin’. ;-)

Nobody needs such a powerful weapon to protect themselves

Drink!

[chris37]

Does anyone want a non-dangerous weapon?

I know I don’t.

[Sasparilla]

...Nobody need such a powerful weapon to protect themselves their homes or to hunt...

However, there have been several instances where a single person with one of these dreaded and evil firearms successfully fought off multiple armed home invaders by killing, wounding them, or running them off..

Actually, there's growing support that the AR-15 is ideal for home defense. It's light, easy to use, and research demonstrates the .223 round presents less of an overpenetration risk than more conventional handgun and shotgun options.

It's a Bill of RIGHTS, not a Bill of NEEDS.

[Tudorfly]

The author of this editorial is a fool. A very foolish fool. Wisdom is lacking in this one.

[circlecity]

"The village bans the gun for good reason. Nobody need such a powerful weapon to protect themselves their homes or to hunt."

Uhhhh, this type of ignorance is hard take. Other than a .22 rifle used to shoot squirrels, an AR-15 is LESS powerful than just about any hunting rifle on the market.

semiautomatic rifles that can load magazines with multiple bullets

And here I've been loading my own magazines. I need that AR that will load its own magazines.

[Pecos]

Have you noticed that the Left always includes the phrase “Nobody needs...”? The Constitution isn’t about NEEDS. It’s about RIGHTS. I could just as easily make a case that nobody NEEDS a cell phone, or the NY Times. Sheesh!
