Finally some common sense on gun control.

Notice it was proposed by a right wing government, so quit saying it is only the left that want to control guns.

I see Norway has decided to bad semi's by 2021...better not let the Liberals see them doing that, or guys will have to learn to use bolt actions again

Low levels of gun violence yet they still want to ban semi's. This makes zero sense. There isn't a problem with gun violence in Norway.

There's nothing common sense about it it's jumping the gun based on emotion. One gun is no more deadly than any other

[fishermccann]

You are right, they are not, but if you wanted to kill more things faster, would you pick up a single shot gun, or a semi.?

This is why the army has decided to save money by re-equipping with bolt-action single-shot .22 LR rifles. No gun is deadlier.

As to the move by Dick's: they are protecting themselves from the ruinous reputational hit they would take if they sold the gun to the next mass shooter. Having sold a gun to the Parkland shooter is a near miss and they know it. Since hunting is not their core business, I expect they are ready to exit the gun business entirely if faced with a boycott.

I fail to see why.

Explain to me what is the difference between the AR and say mini ranch rifle both are semi both shoot 223, does the plastic make the gun more deadly?

If I take my SKS and replace the wooden stock with a military stock has the gun become more dangerous?

For the American dilemma with mass school shootings the question is where to draw a stop.Lets say Trump decides to arm teachers, what would they need to defend the kids.A 40 cal glock with 15 round clip is really not a match for a shooter with a fully auto AR 15. The NRA wants to arm everybody as a deterrent for would be robbers,rapists,shooters. Well in order to be not out gunned everybody would need a mass shooters choice of gun.Where would the madness end?
Australia had the same problem and got the job done. America has a unique challenge with their constitution but they look really stupid right now Worldwide
when they are going off the wall about Muslims,building walls to keep out Mexicans bad guys and workers ,drone killing possible terrorists all over the globe.

BUT CANNOT EVEN DEFEND THE LIVES OF ORDINARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY FROM ATTACKS FROM FELLOW AMERICANS.

Even Trump seems to be prepared to take on the NRA. Trump isn't as dependant on NRA money as many Republicans would be.

Maybe what is dangerous, is in the mind set of someone who wants the most dangerous looking gun, even though they all can kill. The better question would be , why do people want that particular gun, if they all kill equally? Sorry but take out the number one reason given, because I want one, , look deep within yourself and answer honestly, what is the real reason?

It is a wonder piece of modern technology that is a pleasure to shoot, and can more personalized and customized then a car.

Because it was a military rifle and was used in Vietnam. They all presume if it was good enough for the military you gotta have it. It was primarily used as a casualty producing weapon versus a killing weapon but would do both depending on where you were hit. With the 7.62 MR14 if you were hit in the shoulder the projectile would pass right through and that person could get back to a safe area on his own. With the AR15 if a person was hit in the shoulder the projectile would rotate, twist and turn and tear the shoulder right off needing two people to get that person to a medic...thus taking two additional people off of the front line... Plus the ammo didn't weigh as much, meaning you could carry more. Nothing more than a me too weapon for those that gotta have one.

The AR15 has never been used in Military service...

You need to read a little more and stop listening to the guy leading the brown shirts...

When Eugene M.Stoner designed the original M-16 for the US Army in Viet Nam,I'll bet a week's pay he never dreamed they or the derivitives would ever be in civilian hands.
