I think this is a step in the right direction. And I'm glad that we have a president that will keep to his word.

1 ReplyI think we should ban all guns and just give everyone bear arms instead

Not the presidents responsibility. Democrats just expect to push legislation through without due process. Republicans expect democrats to give in without compromise. Total bullshit. PS: Assault weapons are not the cause of shootings

8 RepliesHe thinks he can do whatever he wants know it's disgusting. He's getting around congress by issuing an executive order. it's just absurd. it's just Obama giving himself more and more powers. also the way the media throws around gun "facts" is just a shame.

1 ReplyEdited by A Metroid: 1/16/2013 4:44:23 PMThe problem is the News media bringing too much attention to the killers and over-sensationalizing. As well as cherry picking statistics.

1 ReplyI agree with the background checks, but banning "assault weapons"? Many people with rifles, most of which now fall under the media's definition of an "assault weapon", use them for target shooting. Hell, I have a .22 that looks like an assault weapon, are they going to take that away from me? Why not actually try to reinforce the educational system with ways of stopping people from becoming violent? How? I don't know, why don't you ask Mr. President with all of the money and a horrible plan to deal with gun violence that lets him not have to use most of the money.

10 RepliesR.I.P FREEDOM. Seriously, stop whining about this guys. Like you really need an AR-15 for everyday life.

3 RepliesI don't think anyone with the power to make these decisions has said they're going to outright ban all weapons. So stop being hyperbolic and crying about the government trying to completely disarm you. There's a huge difference between being completely defenseless and owning a handgun, shotgun, or hunting rifle with a 10 round max capacity. Honestly, 30 round "assault weapon" rifles are overkill - the number of innocent lives saved by a US civilian having an extra 20 rounds and significantly increased effective range in the last decade can probably be counted on your hands. The number of people killed by criminals or psychopaths due to the substantially increased lethality is probably a noticeable statistic. The game isn't going to be completely changed by banning them, but it is a step in the right direction.

8 RepliesYou know because taking away guns will stop shootings, it's not like we should improve our countries mental health care or anything /sarcasm

Considering we have no idea of the limitations, and that the fear mongering title of 'assault weapons' is still used, how can you, with some shred of intelligence, concretely say this will be good? You dont even know the details.
-
Great.

Right before all the gun nuts claim "Oh my god gun control = evil government funded space lizards are going to steal all my weapons!" Right before everyone demands the head of piers Morgan again.

Oh, the butthurt is going to be very strong.
