    I believe cutting the core issue, which is not guns, would definitely be a good public safety objective.

    What does that mean?

    Are you suggesting we work on public safety UNLESS people got shot dead?

    that's bullshit because you gun banners are going after weapons responsible for statistically insignificant number of deaths while not going after handguns, knives and clubs-all of which are used in more murders

    This is just your lack of understanding of what has been done.

    Restrictions on pistols HAS been attempted.

    The problem is that the SC rejects public safety as a justification for these attempts to reduce gun murder.

    Once again, do you accept that public safety is a legitimate objective?

    The mess that would make s unthinkable

    I am actually rather familiar with those weapons-having both a mike bell and a howard clark Katana. Those who are into this weapon will recognize those two smiths as perhaps the finest in the world. I also count as a close friend, one of the greatest female Tameshigiri competitors (long retired) going. and yeah a big strong young man with a katana would have killed those kids almost as quickly as Lanza did with the rifle he took from his murdered mother.

    Emphasis mine. You being able to say this means you actually read something.

    No, I'm being perfectly serious.

    Its the same sentence form. I just used "books" instead of "guns".
    Now tell me: Who may keep and bear books?
    For bonus points: What restrictions may be placed on this right to keep and bear books?

    Perhaps a 10 day waiting period and a 10 page limit will keep us safe!

    Semi-automatic assault weapons don’t exist.

    The term "assualt rife" is often used by the ignorant as a catch-all phrase to describe modern firearms. If you put a M-16 next to a Star Wars movie prop lazer gun, the movie prop is scarier looking and is therefore an
    assualt rifle despite the fact that it is inert.

    your premise is bogus.
    guns dont kill people
    people kill people
    you need to get your priorities in order before you start demanding legislation.

    If the problem is the people, then you look at the core problem (people) and resolve the core problem.

    You dont take away cars because people abuse them.
