Why hasn't the NRA stepped up and paid the hospital bills of the Colorado shooting victums?

Are you going to send us some money for every day you enjoyed freedom?

y?

How about the freedom to not be shot up by mentally deranged gun nuts?

That's called accepting the responsibility of defending yourself.

Had the cinema management not prohibited all the concealed carry weapons from their theaters, there would have been many fewer deaths, one of which being the perp himself. The theater owners committed the atrocity by giving the idiot a -safe- place to spray bullets, where he would certainly not be stopped. Ditto the school admins who declare schools to be "Gun Free Zones". That's a key concept to the crazies. The words "gun-free zone" mean that they won't be stopped when killing people in these places. Ever see a donut shop robbed? ;)

You're lucky that you know more about machining than firearms.

Was it "Code of Silence" where robbers try to hold up the bar where the off-duty cops hang out?

Notably absent from your response was any kind if plausable explanation as to why a person would feel a need to have a rifle with couple of 100 round clips for the purpose of self-defense

And before you go off acting as though I don't know anything about guns, bear in mind that my first rifle was given to me by my father when I was about ten years old, it was a bolt action remington IIRC...shortly afterward I was given a lever action 32 special...

Currently, I also own a rifle that's pretty much identical to the one that was used in Colorado, (except mine usually has a scope attached)...and the pair of 30 round clip that I have seems to be way more than sufficient.

But feel free to enlighten me about all those numerous times where a high powered rifle with a 100 round clip was sucessfully used by an ordinary citizen to defend himself against an armed assailant.

Hell, find me even a single instance....

This is supposed to be a free society in which what one owns is governed by what one can afford and wants, and not by what someone else percieves that one "needs". Of course people like you who think that the government should tell us when we can take a crap and how long we're allowed to take will never grasp that concept.

Ayup.

OK, know it all. What happens to the barrel when you fire 100 rounds, non stop? BTW, sentences end with punctuation. I know you're a liberal and all, but that was taught in grade school.

Can you say 'Hypocrite'?

Yes, but not many. It was on one of theose 'Dumbest Crooks' TV shows.

It gets warm.

Go f*ck yourself,

TROLL

Doubt if I can, they are a lure for imprudent customers who don't understand they are actually a liability. The original Soviet RPK machine gun drum they are roughly based on made sense for dug-in gunners who could duck their heads down while clearing jams.

With your claimed experience you ought to know that assault rifle cartridges like the .223 are nowhere near "high-powered", that describes older bolt-action rifles cartridges 2-3 times as powerful, meant to hit the enemy line half a mile away, and difficult to control in full-auto house clearing. Assault rifle cartridges have only the minimum power that's effective at close range, to make the weapon easier to control when standing or running. They were an upgrade to replace pistol-cartridge submachine guns which weren't consistently powerful enough to stop the enemy.

We all know that you're a liberal DNC troll. Do you have anything new to add?
