Trying to solve an irrational problem with rational solutions seems to be futile.

Five Things Every Elected Official Should Know About The NRA
1) The NRA’s Candidates Got Their Clocks Cleaned Last Month: The NRA Political Victory Fund spent a massive $16,554,803.07 seeking to elect its preferred candidates last November. They might have accomplished more by burning the money. Just 0.81 percent of these expenditures benefited a winning candidate.
2) An NRA Endorsement Is Virtually Useless: According to an analysis of all 1038 NRA endorsements in the 2004-2010 election cycles, the NRA’s endorsement swung the result in just four races — meaning that the chance that an NRA endorsement will be the factor that places a pro-gun candidate in the House is less than 0.4 percent. The analysis also determined that most candidates garner no boost whatsoever for an NRA endorsement, although “Republican challengers who get endorsed when they run against Democratic in bents do about 2 percentage points better than similar candidates who don’t get the endorsement.”
3) Democrats Gain Nothing From Pandering To The NRA: One group that has nothing to gain from appeasing the NRA is Democrats. The 2004-2010 analysis mentioned above found that “Democratic in bents who are endorsed by the NRA get no statistically significant advantage from being endorsed,” and a similar study of the 1994 and 1996 election cycles determined that an NRA endorsement “had almost no impact for Democrats who were endorsed, Republican in bents who were endorsed, or any kind of candidate in 1996.”
4) Gun Ownership Is Steadily Declining: Lawmakers hoping to appeal to gun owners are reaching out to a steadily dwindling base. In 1977, 54 percent of American adults lived in a gun-owning household. By 2010, that figure declined to 32 percent:
5) Not Even NRA Members Believe All Gun Regulations Are Wrong: NRA members overwhelmingly support a wide range of reforms, including requiring criminal background checks on gun owners and gun shop employees, and mandating that gun-owners tell the police when their gun is stolen.

Nice to see someone being honest about it and admitting to own weapons just because it's legal and fun.
This.
We can turn schools into fortresses and the kooks will just find some other soft target to strike. Thinking that future incidents can be prevented by stricter gun laws or by arming teachers and principals are equally naive. There is no good answer here.
It's a different discussion but I think it's pretty naive to think violent video games, movies, etc. don't have any affect on certain people that watch them. As far as kids go, ultimately the blame falls on the parents but if you've got a 7 year old playing Manhunt or GTA or whatever for 5 hours a day, you can't say that doesn't have some impact on the kids personality and how he sees violence.
Well, I know nothing about guns, and I don't even know what this is, but I ran across it and thought you guys might want to take a look at it.
AR15 stripped lower receiver = $80

LMAO...yeah "at least" that.
I'd venture to say the fact one side will have tanks, fighter jets, drones, and the best trained and organized military in the world has more to do with the one-sided nature of the battle than any citizen's lack of a semi-automatic assault rifle.
Has something else changed or is this just piss poor reporting? Everything I've read said that the AR-15 was in the car and not used to kill the people in the school.
Magazines that fed bullets into the primary firearm used to kill 26 children and adults at a Connecticut school would have been banned under state legislation that the National Rifle Association and gunmakers successfully fought.
The shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Adam Lanza, 20, used a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle with magazines containing 30 rounds as his main weapon, said Connecticut State Police Lieutenant Paul Vance at a news conference yesterday.

I think a Razzie would be better..
The pre-existing narrative finally asserts itself. Not surprising, really.
Btw, you are correct. The Bushmaster was found in his vehicle. It was not used.
I had read that there were 4 weapons, the rifle and two handguns on him and another in the car (which I had never seen identified).
Edit, it seems that the bushmaster .223 was the only weapon used to kill according to the medical examiner.

Afghanistan says "Oh Hai guns and stuffs!"

Three weapons were recovered from the school: a semi-automatic .223 Bushmaster found in a car in the school parking lot, and a Glock and a Sig Sauer found with Lanza's body, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said. The weapons were legally purchased by Lanza's mother, the official said.
Its a silly train of thought to even entertain, really, but we went there...
Flashpoint: Civil Unrest. Open revolt in multiple American regions.
The chances of the military using tanks and aircraft against their own citizens is iffy at best. Unless it was open war (ie Civil War, two sides divided by secession), the government is not going to wholesale slaughter their own people.
Assuming youre both right and the government did use the full brunt of their military against their own citizens, then nothing would matter anymore anyway. You would no longer call yourself American or care who lived and died at that point. You would be no better than the Russian peasants living under the Tzars or Stalin. The war was lost before it even started.
mebbe not.

NEWTOWN, Conn. – School shooter Adam Lanza carried hundreds of bullets when he shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and used an assault rifle to do most of the killing, authorities confirmed Sunday.
Lanza, 20, fired a Bushmaster .223 semiautomatic rifle to kill many of the 20 children and six adults at the school Friday, Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance said. He used a Glock 10-millimeter handgun to shoot himself in the head. He also carried at Sig Sauer pistol. A shotgun, the type of which was not identified, was found in the trunk of Lanza’s car outside the school.
“The Bushmaster was used in the school, in its entirety, and [a] handgun was used to take his own life,” Vance said.
You assume the government would slaughter its own citizens. I dont think that would ever happen in this country. Never. Certainly not for civil disobedience.
Thats just the lower receiver. Its the only federally controlled portion of an assault rifle. Once you own the lower, you can purchase the rest of the firearm without background checks. L. Receivers are cheap, really, its the rest of the rifle that costs a boatload (namely the barrel and upper receiver).
Kent State says o.
Don't anybody mind TB, he is a bit slow from actively engaging BD.... Everybody pity him.
I dont recall tanks and aircraft s ing college students on protest. Thus, my point.
It doesn't really matter what he used to kill those kids. Bushmaster, sig 9mm, whatever...In the eyes of the media and general public he used this:
ok. well yall were talking about buying the guns, and I like it when people offer me deals that are topical (i.e. I was talking about buying one), so there ya go.
