It seems that the weapon this guy had was a .223 caliber hunting rifle. The only gun control law that would have banned it is a total ban on guns.
It doesn't hold a lot of bullets. He actually brought 4 guns. When one ran out of bullets, he used another. Arguments about assault weapons etc surrounding this are not relevant. |

Not so fun fact:
One of the colleges I consult for has an educational center on the site of the McDonald's shooting. |

It's not an insult at all to impute that someone has no experience with guns, explosives, nuclear waste, anthrax, or anything else with no purpose but destruction.
And thanks for the corroboration, az, that if another fool at a stop light pulls a gun and waves it at you because he didn't like your driving, you might also pull a gun and wave it. And there are 2 more "crime preventions with a gun" statistics. |

Just for a little bit of context, a man in China stabbed 22 children in a school yesterday.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Guns just allow them to do it faster... |

The Lott and Kleck studies are, as we say in the stats world, crap.
Almost completely worthless except as fodder for gun nuts. |

"... lawful use of firearms far outweighs criminal use."
How would we know how many lives have been saved with firearms? I'm talking about regular citizens with guns, saving lives. Not police, not armed forces. And again, the guns that are designed to kill many people, not just the lone gunman. What's the balance of innocent lives lost vs saved with these weapons? VB, that page was "unavailable". |

"You can't just round up everyone who's moody or unfriendly..."
That would certainly include everyone who's stockpiling weapons, so as to be able to protect their stockpile of weapons. |
