It's ok that you are ignorant Norton. Nothing to be ashamed of.
oh not ashamed of being ignorant of all the many kinds of gun out there, Pud
I just have four handguns and a CCL, so far from being as knowledgable as you

You left out the part that they had a pistol (I thought they were like snakes in Ireland in Britain?) as well as a cleaver, an arsenal of knives and were on a rampage for 20 minutes, because the cops had to wait for someone to show up with a gun.
They killed ONE person, injured nobody else, and neither did the cops, because those weapons-carrying cops are properly trained.
More than likely the "handguns" were replicas, or at the very least limited in ammo, because they couldn't just walk in to buy bullets in Wal-mart.

TGT said:
"We should not base our laws on personal dislikes"
yet, that is exactly what the party you vote for wants
your party, TGT, wants to pass laws doing prohibiting same sex marriage for example
and pass laws forcing women to give birth to the babies of their rapists
just because your party "don't like it"
get it yet?

Some guy just got killed in a home invasion here yesterday, Don't know if "Castle Doctrine" will apply. Story at helenair.com under local news..The comments section seem to be the prevailing thoughts around here.

These nut jobs give a bad name to responsible gun owners.
Everybody knows that Bloomberg, who tried to ban black rifles, should be shot by one of those pink ARs.

Only while many responsible gun owners and their major mouthpiece insist that the second amendment bestows the right to use violence to achieve the overthrow of a democratically elected government.

well,
I thank President Obama for signing into law that I as a CCL holder can carry into the national parks in my state
I also thank him for signing into law that I can now carry on Amtrak trains
The Republicans with Bush had eight god dam years to get those into law and did NOT
Obama did them both in his first two years
I voted for ACTION on my second amendment rights, not dum ful bull sh!t talk
and I got it
so shut your ignorant right wing fuking mouth

Fascinating how many nerves you hit referring to male inadequacy issues, and the obvious gun ownership corollary
Hard to imagine how such deep-seated shame could also be too overwhelming to even try to conceal
Are you saying that the American Patriots who stood up to and defeated the mightiest army and navy of the day had male inadequacy issues because they demanded the right to bear arms? And what is this bs about shame?

Merely that it's interesting to contrast and compare the completely different reasons why they, and you, need guns.
Theirs was practical, yours psychological.
Who are you to say why I want or need guns? My "need" is psychological? I don't think so.

My question is, who in the US military would obey an order to open fire on Americans on American soil. Really, over the 2nd amendmt?
Ignoring the jurisdiction issue, if the nut who mailed ricin to the President follows up on his threat to shoot anyone who comes after him in the face, how many in the military would have the slightest problem shooting back?
A significant bunch of gun-nuts violently opposing the (mostly) democratically elected government (i.e. opening fire on American police or soldiers on American soil) would be just about the best thing gun-control advocates could ever hope for. It is however, not going to happen.

All it would really take is one or two barricaded gun nut compounds getting taken out (in a few seconds) by an Apache gunship, allowing people to actually see how effective armed insurrection against the gov't really is, and the whole NRA/gun industrial complex would collapse overnight
I don't see it that way, such an unprovoked act would bolster their conspiracy theory, and get significant justified public sympathy and support. Of course, like the imaginary patriotic insurrection, the unprovoked preemptive assault won't happen either.
They can barricade themselves wherever they want, for as long as they want, the longer the better, but in the non-paranoid real world, the apaches would never be sent in until the the gun-nuts start killing to impose their view. At that point, the public would overwhelmingly support sending in those helicopters, followed soon by a constitutional amendment to eliminate any doubt that the constitution does not entitle anyone to conspire to overthrow the government.

We're trying out your theory right now in Afghanistan - like a university study. And it looks as if you've been proven wrong, in the real world. The overnight collapse you speak of is taking more than ten years! Sure it sounds good, but in practice, we see otherwise.
I might add, Afghanistan is largely populated by illiterate cave men.
