Saturday, April 17, 2010 12:11:57 PM Banning guns only stops normal people from having weapons, not the criminals who will get them illegally anyways. Then you're standing there with your semi auto 9mm with 9 rounds vs. a robber with an illegal fully auto assault rifle with 100+ rounds. |

Saturday, April 17, 2010 12:11:48 PM agreed Dakkar, this is what happens when you take religion alone with you into the woods. people never should have been allowed automatic weapons in the first place, cause there's no way the government could take them back now. especially not after this health care reform. we'd have a civil war on our hands. |

Saturday, April 17, 2010 12:07:20 PM america is a f ucked up place Indeed! There ain't much difference between America and a lot of middle eastern countries anymore. Armed religious fundamentalists? check. Hey I've got an idea! Why don't you ship them off to Iran and fight the Jihadists? They'll probably do it for free. |

Saturday, April 17, 2010 11:54:59 AM @screaminbean: Now that's simply not true. If Mythbusters has taught us anything, they can be used for such things as cutting down trees, shooting fish in a barrel, etc. I would like to retain the ability to fell a tree by ye olde firepower if I so desired  |

Saturday, April 17, 2010 11:42:20 AM "these idiots are the exact reason people shouldn't be allowed to own automatic weapons." Yes, because a fanatical, anti-government, apocalyptic cult will surely never look to obtain automatic weapons illegally in the event of a federal ban. Their warped vision of religion is something to note, but more importantly, their fanaticism is tied to the human condition, not directly to religion. Despite what John Lennon said, if there was no religion, people would find something else to kill each other over. Religion has just become an easy and popular scapegoat. A deeper insight into this matter will reveal a much more complex issue. Of course, taking the easy way out is just another point of the human condition. |

Saturday, April 17, 2010 11:31:50 AM @Brassbull, I agree. There is no type of recreational shooting, hunting, or otherwise that you can do with an automatic or a semiautomatic. I'm not a gun freak. I don't own a gun. I have never touched a gun, nor ever really seen a gun first hand. I am not the authoritative figure here. But I do know that you can't do anything with automatics and semiautomatics that doesn't involve killing or causing harm to other humans. They aren't for sport. For that matter, handguns aren't either. I believe that there should be higher restrictions on such. Just a personal belief, not saying anyone else has to take it in the slightest. But there is nothing you can do with automatics, semiautomatics, or handguns that doesn't, in the end, involve hurting someone else. |

Saturday, April 17, 2010 11:26:41 AM One of them is a registered Democrat; the rest are not affiliated with any party. Just a little factoid that NBC somehow managed to overlook... And this is why EVERYBODY should be allowed to own automatic weapons -- so when these nutcases start shooting, we can all shoot back. The 2nd amendment does not specify that citizens' arms must be inferior to those carried by the military. In fact, when the 2nd amendment was adopted, the standard-issue weapon for the army was a smooth-bore musket; the typical citizen-farmer owned a long rifle which was FAR superior in accuracy, range, rate of fire, and kill power. |

Saturday, April 17, 2010 10:59:56 AM Throwing over the government is all about being America. But doing it the right way. These fruit cakes had completely different ideas. And killing cops is absolutely f**king stupid. They are not government, just guys with jobs that, in most cases, protect the American people. Lock these freaks away for good please. They are neither Christians nor Americans |
