I don't know how you can "guarantee" what you just posted, but can you name one "mass shooting" that was "orchestrated" in the last 30-40 years? And some FACTS to support your conclusion.

That's missing today!

At 14 I got my driver's license. At 16 I was driving a standard shift, flat bed semi hauling materials for a commercial construction company out of town and back. Obviously not "licensed" to do it, but given that responsibility (along with distributing pay checks on Fridays in my supers pickup), because I would NOT stop and pick up a 6 pack to quench my thirst (I knew how to get it!)! We had guns. We didn't shoot people or each other.

(Although I was shot and shot at in my lifetime!)

We were instructed at home on how to behave in an adult world. We did not learn our social skills from TV or "nintendo" games, and generally speaking most of my friends have managed to remain out of prison by being law abiding citizens ... or blending in and not creating too much unwanted attention. Some, of course, are dead.

Hey Opie, How come you didn't raise your own kids and grand kids with these " awesome" values? The kids doing this shit are you're kids and grandkids. I like you Lex but you are an old man pining for the non existent " good old days"

Btw, why do you behave like such a smart ass? Did you're mommy and daddy teach you how to be an A hole?

You know my family?

You should stick with Winn-Dixie or Krogers.

I didn't see anyone with a "problem" with it being removed from the market, but that is not going to "solve" the real problem that has surfaced recently.

The burden should be on the person seeking to "remove" something from the market to demonstrate that the removal aids in the elimination or significant reduction in a negative condition. Not, IMO, on the users to show there is no need to remove it. The Government always has the burden to restrict the citizens.

That's like the poster saying you don't "need" an AR-15. That's not what the 2nd Amendment says or even how it's been interpreted. It doesn't say for "hunting"! It wasn't even passed for "hunting rights"! It was passed to protect citizens from the Government ... which is seeking to disarm the citizens by "removing" guns.

BTW: Paddock had a number of rifles set up for the shooting. I haven't seen any reports of stove-piping or other malfunctions on any of the weapons.

I certainly agree that attaching a bump stock to an AR-15 could cause extraction and ejections problems. I was just asking for some tangible proof.

I see no benefit to keeping the bump stock in the marketplace. People who hunt with an AR-15 wouldn't use it. People who use it for protection in all likelihood wouldn't use it. I see only one use for it.

I agree with you on the AR-15. It is not, in my opinion, an assault rifle. Even if it was banned, I'd be willing to bet that there is some other gun on the market that could easily replace it.

That's because there no such thing as an assault rifle, it's just another rifle.

There are a number of semi automatic rifles with good old fashion wooden stocks that can shoot just as fast. No ones yelling about those.

AR in AR-15 does not stand for Assualt Rifle

I've heard that cow patties are nutritionally important to mushrooms!

I can tell! They (the low class people you are around) probably perceive you as being beneath them.

Their perspective is spot on! Nothing personal, of course!

Just painful facts to share with you. ESL classes are still available.

Winn-Dixie or Kroger's?

This is too rich to pass up:

Nope. It comes from the name of the company that first produced it... ARmaLite.

https://www.armalite.com

The AR-15 is not an "assault rifle" either...

"Semi-automatic-only rifles like the Colt AR-15 are not assault rifles; they do not have select-fire capabilities."
