List of banned "assault rifles" in Connecticut?

I'll bet that many people die every year just driving to a bowling alley.

You sound like the kind of guy who cheers when it happens and wants to be part of the action. 😱 :thumbsdown:

Why don't you guys take up another hobby? One that doesn't enable mass killers?

You sound like the kind of guy who cheers when it happens and wants to be part of the action. 😱 :thumbsdown:

It is this kind of attitude coming from the gun control / gun grabber sector that prevents any meaningful dialogue that could lead to some common sense compromise that could theoretically make a difference.

Congratulations on being part of the problem!

With as many guns as there are in the US, aren't you surprised how little gun violence exists in context with the number of guns?

What a crock of sh8! From the Washington Post:

Here’s how U.S. gun violence compares with the rest of the world

Posted by Olga Khazan on December 14, 2012 at 4:02 pm

In the wake of Friday’s deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Conn., gun-control advocates have taken to social media to call for more stringent firearm restrictions.

The United States has notoriously liberal gun control laws, and it has the highest rate of gun ownership in the world — an average of 88 per 100 people, according to a 2007 Small Arms Survey.

These maps, put together by the Guardian’s Simon Rogers, reveal how we compare with the world:

Gun ownership rate. Screenshot: The Guardian​

But countries with the most guns don’t necessarily have the most gun-related homicides. The world’s crime figures come from the UNODC annual crime survey, and while it does not include key nations, such as Russia, China and Afghanistan, it does include most other developed countries.

Homicides by firearm per 100,000 people. Screenshot: The Guardian​

The dubious distinction of having the most gun violence goes to Honduras, at 68.43 homicides by firearm per 100,000 people, even though it only has 6.2 firearms per 100 people. Other parts of South America and South Africa also rank highly, while the United States is somewhere near the mid-range. Still, America sees far more gun violence than countries in Europe, and Canada, India and Australia, which is perhaps how it gets its bloody reputation among comparatively peaceful nations.

When a person kills another in the United States, though, he or she generally uses a gun: 60 percent of U.S. homicides occur using a firearm, which is the 26th-highest rate in the world. (In other gun-permeated countries, such as Finland (45.3 guns per 100 people), only about 19 percent of homicides involve a firearm.

Guns don’t always kill people, it seems, but they certainly play a role.

And if you want to know how many of your fellow Americans support your uber-loud minority opinions, here's one graph from another Washington Post article:

Trigger happy gun wingnuts like you are the minority and you ARE the problem. You must be so proud. :thumbsdown: :hmm:

I see you decided to avoid my response regarding pistol magazines.

I didn't avoid it. I said my previous statement was a rhetorical question. If you failed English, and you don't understand the concept, that's your problem. 🙄

Then, you were pissing and moaning about an distinction between a magazine and a clip. They're both devices that allow loading and firing a large number of rounds into a firearm without having to reload. For the purpose of this discussion, the difference is irrelvant so I gave it all the attention and respect it was due -- I ignored it.

Maddow? You are posting this for what? Credibility?

Facts.

Jared Loughner's gun jammed upon reloading one of his high capacity mags. Cheap high cap mags are notorious for this. Maddow never mentions his gun jamming due to his choice of mags.

She mentions Lanza... Who was using STANDARD sized magazines and NOT firing them until empty but reloading prior to that - ensuring his opportunity to do so was uninterrupted.

She makes fun(typical and expected) of competitive shooters who also need fast reloading skills and alludes to these people being not the norm... But she is wrong again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Upjn5DR0o&list=PLCE8ED33298C497B9&index=4

She praises the states that have passed stricter gun control laws since Sandy Hook, but doesn't find fault with how the laws were passed... IE; NYS violated their own rules on review to pass the law essentially in the middle of the night. A law passed so quickly that it neglected to account for the duties of police officers making them in violation of the law... Arbitrarily setting a mag limit so low that it made many firearms effectively banned as manufacturers are not going to produce seven round mags for firearms they don't produce anymore or where the company has gone under.

So... Fuck you Maddow and quite frankly screw you too for buying into this bullshit. The liberal and progressive "elite" like to project that they are on some sort of higher level of existence... they are just so fucking smart. When you post a Maddow video, all you prove is that you want to emulate these talking elitist hacks... and if you think it makes you any smarter, all I can say is your fucking wrong.

Again, here is Harvey. A typical elitist fucking snob who loves to project how utterly superior he is intellectually.

Hey Harvey. You got called on your bullshit once again and you know it. You gave the typical, but expected response I quoted above. You already lost the argument here.

Yet another too reading challenged to go back to read my post and follow ups to find that I actually did reply. With brain power like that, both of you must be a Republicans. :biggrin:

Re: Loughner's gun.

It jammed when after he was finished firing, a woman grabbed the gun. He pushed her away, then reloaded it, but apparently she had managed to jam it. Then when he reloaded, it jammed. This allowed time for him to be tackled.

So there's a "gun grabber" for ya.

Trigger happy? I don't even own a firearm. How does this make me THE problem? Wingnut? I am not a Republican.

Maybe if you simply focused on civil discourse rather than turning anyone with a differing opinion into imaginary boogeymen in your head to fight with we could get somewhere. But after reading many of your posts you are simply incapable of having a reasonable, logical, and civil debate on any subject related to firearm policy.

It is painfully obvious you view the gun control debate through partisan glasses too.

Way to 'represent' too. :whiste:

 

[Fenixgoon]

Since when was exercising your constitutional right considered a problem? :rollseyes:

 

[davmat787]

Here in WA state, lawmakers, D's and R's alike, took a break to go shooting hours before CT passed their sweeping legislation. I wish all lawmakers wanting to make sweeping changes take a gun safety course and go to the range.

Lawmakers take a break from gun control debate to shoot guns

No matter how you define it I showed that the most popular handgun in the United states, the Glock 17, can hold 100 rounds without reloading so you are still wrong.

You talking about guns is like listening to a 5 year old discussing quantum physics.

OK, back to the topic at hand...

Does anyone know how you would actually go about registering your "assault weapons" in Connecticut? I'm trying to figure out where the paperwork is, but I can't find it.

Sadly, I would probably be better off selling my gun in a more weapon friendly state. I wouldn't be surprised if Connecticut tries to use this registration list to confiscate these weapons later.

Exactly... It probably "stove piped" due to the quality of the aftermarket mag and what ever ammo he was using. Had nothing to do with a woman grabbing the firearm AFTER it jammed.

Nice try.

For some people it's a hobby, but according to the Constitution it's a right.

The United States Constitution is unusually difficult to amend. As spelled out in Article V, the Constitution can be amended in one of two ways. First, amendment can take place by a vote of two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate followed by a ratification of three-fourths of the various state legislatures (ratification by thirty-eight states would be required to ratify an amendment today). This first method of amendment is the only one used to date. Second, the Constitution might be amended by a Convention called for this purpose by two-thirds of the state legislatures, if the Convention's proposed amendments are later ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures.

Start collecting signatures.

Thank god Harvey is posting again. What would we do someone who considers walls of emoticons a valid argument?

Uh, okay. Practically, it's still just a hobby no different from like flying model airplanes.

Gun nuts are basically overgrown LARP'ers.

What should we do with you - someone who considers irrelevant comments on my posting style a more valid argument than refuting the facts in my posts?

Did you ever manage to refute any of my reasons why Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their entire criminal adminstration should be tried and convicted for the murder of every American troop who died in their war of lies in Iraq?

Did you ever manage to refute any of my reasons why Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their entire criminal adminstration should be tried and convicted for torture, war crimes and crimes against humanity?

Did you ever manage to refute any of my statements Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their entire criminal adminstration were directly responsible for abandoning all oversight and control over their wealthy Wall Street robber barons and causing the worst financial calamity since the Great Depression?

Did you ever manage to refute the fact that Republican, Bobby Jindal, was right when he called Republicans "the stupid party?"

Didn't think so. :\ <== obligatory emoticon

Go home and practice, mindless little boy. :hmm: <== obligatory emoticon

Please cite the place in the constitution that gives you the right to fly model airplanes.

 

[HumblePie]

Please cite the place in the constitution that gives you the right to fly model airplanes.

In fairness that wasn't the point of the Constitution. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. I pretty much presume flying model airplanes falls under "Pursuit of Happiness."

To those that know their history, the Bill of Rights was left out of the original draft of the Constitution. That it was only put in after much debate. That the reason it was left out was because every one thought those right were self evident. They were worried that if they put in a list of what can or cannot be done, that later down the road people would use that list as a bludgeon for agendas to show actions they didn't list as things that can or cannot be done according to their perspective.

That's why in the Constitution it was worded as what the federal government can do. Anything not granted to the federal government by the Constitution was to be left to State and Individual people rights. With deferment to the People. Meaning if the actions of a person is causing no harm to others, then leave them the fuck alone.

Why bother? Your lame opinions may be worthy of pity, but they have never been worth any of my tears. ^_^

I'm not talking about the constitution. I'm talking about the demographic that firearm ownership appeals towards.

Seems like a lot of out of shape guys with aggression issues like guns for the wrong reasons.

Good to see honest and profitable manufacturing businesses tell states like Connecticut and Colorado to go get fucked.

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/04/05/firearms-company-relocating-to-north-texas/

A firearms company that makes AR-15 style rifles for the iconic brand Colt, will open a plant in Breckenridge in Stephens County. Oregon company Bold Ideas confirmed the development Friday.

Bold Ideas goes by the name Colt Competition, making high accuracy rifles for competition shooting.

The company has not officially announced the opening, but employment applications are already available at the Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce. A non-specific, help wanted ad appeared in the local newspaper classifieds earlier in the week.

Sources say Colt Competition will move into a large vacant industrial space on the north side of town, previously used by Karsten Homes to manufacture mobile homes.

The move by Colt Competition into Breckenridge comes as the CEO of Colt Manufacturing in Connecticut has said there will soon be few good answers to keep his company in the state. Connecticut passed some of the nation&#8217;s most restrictive gun laws this week.

It also comes weeks after Governor Rick Perry reportedly sent letters to gun companies, encouraging them to move to Texas.
