Well, looks like this is another topic added to the list of "topics that will surely lead to an intense debate, if not flame war", along with politics and religion.
Seems to me that, like those other topics, there's no way one camp will be able to convice the other camp that they're wrong.

The reason we won't agree with you is we know better through the depth of personal experience.

Yeah, you have one group of people blaming another group of people for something they had nothing to do with, that's just the way that it goes. Oh, well.
'Splain to us why this is wrong. I saw the report, or rather the report of the report. Those kids were killed by handgun caliber ammo, not an AR15. So is it wrong because you haven't heard about it on the mainstream media? You know they're not going to say anything that interferes with their agenda, or says they might have reported something wrong before (even though many early reports did say the Bushmaster was found in the trunk of his car) Or is it wrong because you think you can go into a store in sandy hook and buy a military style assault rifle?

So, again we have conflicting reports, but all reports say the AR was retrieved from his trunk... if you want to believe he stashed it there before pulling the trigger on himself, go for it. The conspiracy theorists have been laughin themselves into a coma over the media coverage here. I usually laugh at the conspiracy theorists, but in this case I've seen too much anti-gun media bias not to give them at least a nod.
Bottom line, no matter the weapon, it didn't shoot itself. And let's not forget the first step in this criminal's shooting spree was the criminal act of stealing these weapons - all of the gun grabber's proposed legislature wouldn't have done a thing to prevent this shooting.

Haven't read the entire post so I may be saying something that has already been said but; If this kid had used his car to run over and kill 26 people outside the school while the kids are waiting for the busses, would we be having a debate about banning cars? Or maybe just banning the type and size of car he used? We need to ban 1975 chevy impala's, they are too big and you don't need to be driving one. Of course not. The left/liberals/democrats in this country have their heads up their asses and wouldn't know common sense if it introduced itself to them. The gun did not kill those kids, the type of gun did not kill those kids and how many rounds are in a clip did not kill those kids. A mentally unstable young man killed those kids, period. He should have been in a mental institution but since the government has pretty much done away with them because they are politically incorrect and makes the person feel bad because he is not normal, you get what you get. And this kick they are on comparing the 2nd amendment to hunting has got to be the most assinine argument ever. The 2nd amendment was not designed with hunting in mind. It was designed at a time when a people were been oppressed and killed by the government because they wanted freedom from the anarchy and the framers of our constitution needed a way to make sure the people had a way to fight back if it ever happened again, pure and simple. There are so many other things in this country that have killed more people than all guns put together but you don't see them going after them do you. They are trying to take our guns for a reason and if you can't see that don't come knocking on my door for help when the poop hits the fan.

Actually you do have the right to yell Fire in a theater but you will probably get arrested for causing a stampeed and arrested for any injuries that are caused by it. You won't get arrested for yelling fire.
