    yeah we can reason with serial rapists too, I suppose. The fact is this-the anti gun movement is basically dishonest and constantly lies about their motivations and goals. THEY ARE OUR ENEMIES. How do you befriend people who want to ban guns and elect gun banners?

    though the original black run civil rights group that didn't get co-opted-CORE has had several of its leaders serve on the NRA board including Roy and Niger Innis. Roy Innis appeared at Yale a couple times when I was a student-once to defend affirmative action and another time to support gun rights.

    Here's another example of the types of "assault weapons" we'll be faced with if and when AR-15s, AK-47s and similar firearms are banned.

    New York City's overall gun ban made it so that an angry killer killed 87 people instead the one person who was his only target.(1)
    That's right, a Mr. González couldn't find a gun to kill his ex-girlfriend so he did what future determined killers will do if they can't find a gun, they simply fabricate a crude but deadly WMD that required only one dollar's worth of gasoline and some plastic.
    My concern is that if or when so called "assault weapons" become hard to get, determined mass killers will simply turn to crude but deadlier WMDs that kill more people than any type of firearm.

    I hope that readers will note that more people were killed by one dollar's worth of easily obtained gasoline than anyone with any type of firearm in a similar incident.

    Other crude but deadly WMDs we can expect to see if guns become harder to acquire are home made bombs(2), Anthrax and similar lethal Bio / Chem combinations just to name a few.

    There are over 60 countries around the world with higher homicide rates than the US(3) and they all have stricter gun laws than the US but that doesn't keep their killers from murdering people at a faster rate than the US.

    Russia, Brazil, Peru, Greenland, the Philippines and 60+ other countries around the world all have much stricter gun laws than the US but still have higher homicide rates than the US so if stricter gun laws worked, they would work everywhere, not just in a handful of countries that have more comprehensive and accessible mental health care than the US has.


    Thanks,

    EXCERPT "González went to an Amoco gas station, then returned to the establishment with a plastic container with $1 worth of gasoline.[2][4] He spread the fuel at the base of a staircase, the only access into the club, and then ignited the gasoline.[5]

    Eighty-seven people died in the resulting fire."CONTINUED

    EXCERPTS "In the end 44 people died, 38 of them students. It wasn’t the first bombing in the country’s history—at least eight were killed during the Haymarket Square rally in Chicago in 1886, and 30 when a bomb exploded in Manhattan in 1920. But none had been so deadly as this, or affected so many children."CONTINUED

    If you were only going to avoid the questions I asked, you may as well not have posted.
    Same effect, see.

    it does prove my oft-made point-gun banners hate the NRA far more than they do violent criminals because violent criminals usually are aligned with them politically,
