    You keep fighting to make kids less safe and I will fight to make them more safe. We just have different values and different priorities

    So you believe that a man can't enjoy a firearm without some weird sexualized reason entering in to their thinking?

    Why do some people try to associate EVERYTHING with sex one way or the other?

    If it can, it should be banned. Do you think people should hunt with that?

    Because there is a correlation. Very often men will refer to their penises as their weapon.

    Yes. You believe what you want will help, while rational, reasoned people know better.

    Ah - so you DO want to ban this gun.
    Do you have any idea at all what it is?

    Maybe men that you know. At any rate a figure of speech means nothing.

    You want me to link you to videos on youtube showing how you can rapid reload and fire muzzle loading guns?

    I assure you that you can fire several times in one minute. Deer hunters figured that out decades ago.

    You can fire at least four rounds per minute with a primitive single shot muzzle loader (equivalent to a musket). Which means in a mass shooting situation you could easily fire off 20 rounds in five minutes.

    Though deer hunters often muzzle load hunt with two or three guns at once and keep all of them loaded. So they can get off more shots initially.

    Driving and/or consuming alcohol are not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution as a right.

    Actually most drunk drivers do not get into accidents. I remember running the numbers when candidate George W. Bush's drunk driving arrest came up in the 2000 campaign and someone said "it's a miracle he didn't kill anyone".

    After running the numbers I found that only about 3% of instances of drunk driving actually result in any kind of injury or serious property damage for several very obvious reasons that I won't go in to here.

    I'm dying to know what the "several very obvious reasons" are.

    School shooters seem to not favor that option.
