Some open bolt semi autos are easily modified to fully auto. They just caught some idiot teenage thug with a fully auto tec-9 in Chicago last week.

JokeSocial securitymemberreilly9619 Dec '12 - 3:46 
After retiring, I went to the social security office to apply for Social Security, the woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age.
 
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry but I seemed to have left my wallet at home. "I will have to go home and come back later."
 
The woman says, "Unbutton your shirt.” So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She says, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me" and she processed my Social Security application.
 
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the social security office. She says, "You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too."

A man and a little boy entered a barbershop.
The man got the full treatment: manicure, shave, shampoo, haircut, everything. Then he placed the boy in the chair and said, "I need to buy a new pair of running shoes before tomorrow's race. I'll be right back."
The barber completed the boy's haircut, but the man still hadn't returned. "Looks like your daddy's forgotten about you," he told the boy. "Oh, that wasn't my dad. He just walked up, took my hand, and said, 'Come on, kid, let's get a free haircut!' "

Can someone explain why banning Assault rifles will make any difference what so ever?
 
Isnt it like banning ice cubes from the Titanic's bars?

Its just like ice cubes on the titanic.
 
If there were no ice cubes on the ship it would have weighed less.
If it weighed less it would have sunk slower.
If it suck slower, more people would have made it to the life boats and not died.
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

GeneralRe: Gun control (provocative subject title I know)memberwizardzz26 Dec '12 - 11:25 
But... ice floats. More ice could have helped it sink slower. Hell, lassoing the ship to an iceberg could have saved it!
 
After all, did the iceberg sink?

The recent atrocity was carried out using a legally held assault rifle. If they were illegal, his mother could not have legally posessed it, and he would not have been able to take it, shoot her and 26 other people.

GeneralRe: Gun control (provocative subject title I know)memberBergholt Stuttley Johnson18 Dec '12 - 23:50 
But he also had multiple automatic handguns so that makes that argument a bit weak, plus its only assult rifles so i take it bolt action is fine?
 
I understand that It defines the rifle type of assault weapon as a semiautomatic firearm with the ability to accept a detachable magazine and two or more of the following:
a folding or telescoping stock
a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
a bayonet mount
a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed

so its sounds like its not difficult to find a semi automatic rifle that id NOT classified as an assault rifle
 
so as measure designed to stop these terrible events it looks as effective as a chocolate fireguard

so the options would be removed the guns, remove the f wits or prevent the two fom combining, one less gun in a country that has so many make as much sense as farting at a hurricane

Ban everything that holds more than 4 rounds in a magazine. Makes more sense than a blanket ban on anything else.
GeneralRe: Gun control (provocative subject title I know)memberBergholt Stuttley Johnson19 Dec '12 - 0:12 
why 4 rounds why not single shot muskets?
