    I have to register my car every year. How often do you register your guns?

    False equivalence wit. The worst those evil Christians do is refuse to bake cakes with giant black designs or hold clown world marriages in their places of holy worship. They don't strap up and gun them down by the dozens.

    Try again.
    To be fair. The second Iraq was a brutal Judeo-Christian assault on a sovereign Muslim country supported by the majority of Evangelicals and coordinated by Zionists.

    Question:

    Has it become too easy to kill large numbers of civilians outside of war/revolution settings?
    Terrorism was pretty bad in the 70s but the number of casualties weren't this high.

    We regulate guns more than we regulate cars (which are 3,000 pound death machines), which makes absolutely perfect sense to someone, somewhere, I'm sure.
    Owning a car is not a cons utional right they will say.

    We put kids as young as 14 years old behind the wheel of 3,000-pound death machines. You have to be 18 or older to own a handgun.

    We don't even require a license or registration to drive a car on private property (though you do still need both to drive on public roads). Many states require people to register their guns without such an exception, and the left would like that to apply nationally.

    Driver's licenses are valid across state lines. Gun licenses are not.

    Cars can be sold across state lines. Guns can't.

    It's ridiculous how soft we are on cars compared to guns when cars are more dangerous. In fact, the typical car is 25 times more likely to kill someone accidentally than the typical gun, and owning a car is 80% more likely to result in the death of another person than owning a gun:

    Don't forget that a car is filled with gasoline and could be used as a mobile bomb. All the metal and plastic...shrapnel.

    Good point, that age limit has done a great job of keeping guns out of the hands of kids. Is there a law I'm not aware of that prevents minors from handling a firearm the way there are laws against unlicensed minors driving cars? How much training do we require for kids to be able to shoot daddy's gun?

    We don't even require a license or registration to drive a car on private property (though you do still need both to drive on public roads).
    Yeah... that part in parentheses is like 10000x more significant a scenario. Unless there's some epidemic of fatal automobile casualties in driveways that I'm not aware of.

    Many states require people to register their guns without such an exception, and the left would like that to apply nationally.
    The horror! (All 50 states require auto registration.)

    Driver's licenses are valid across state lines. Gun licenses are not.
    Bummer.
    When was the last time you registered a gun?

    It will always be easy if that's what someone wants to do. Guns or not.
    So when in the 1700s did you have 1 man kill 50 people in 30 minutes without any help?

    Omar Mateen, whose bloody siege inside a packed Orlando gay nightclub ended when SWAT teams stormed the building and killed him, was a radical Muslim who followed Marcus Dwayne Robertson, a law enforcement source said.

    "It is no coincidence that this happened in Orlando," said a law enforcement source familiar with Robertson's history of recruiting terrorists and inciting violence. "Mateen was enrolled in [Robertson's online] Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary."

    Robertson's school may not have been the only source of Mateen's spiritual guidance. The gunman was at the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce with Imam Shafiq Rahman two days before the nightclub attack, according to The Washington Post. That mosque was frequented by American-born suicide bomber Monar abu Salha, who blew himself up in Syria in 2014, and the two knew each other, according to officials. Mateen's association with Salha led the FBI to interview him in 2014.

    The question nobody is discussing is why it took 3 ing hours from the first officers on the scene until the terrorist was taken out. What the is wrong with all these "good guys with guns" that it takes 3 hours to intervene? I wonder how many of those 50 people would have survived if law enforcement would have manned up and stormed as soon as they got on the scene instead of planning a 3 hour SWAT team. Some heroes.

    The NRA put combat weapons in civilians hands to enrich the gun industry, thereby enriching the NRA.

    You, of all people, are actually going to dispute whether or not this was terrorism?

    They are already being blamed for the shooting by people like yourself.
    I'm not blaming the NRA for this. Don't be stupid.

    The scene changed to hostage negotiations once they arrived. Sounds like they were killed right away and then he called 911.

    An AR15 is not a combat weapon.

    They were interviewing a witness in the club and he said he saw a bullet sticking out of someone "this far" and he spread his thumb and finger about three inches apart.

    We put kids as young as 14 years old behind the wheel of 3,000-pound death machines. You have to be 18 or older to own a handgun.
    "California law prohibits minors from possessing a handgun.3*Exceptions to this prohibition include situations where a parent or legal guardian is present or has consented to the possession.4*In addition, minors may, with the consent of a parent or guardian, possess handguns when engaged in certain recreational sports, including, but not limited to, compe ive shooting; agricultural, ranching, or hunting activities; and any motion picture, television, or video production, or entertainment or theatrical events, the nature of which involves the use of a firearm.5

    There is no minimum age to possess rifles and shotguns in California, although federal age restrictions still apply.
