@MontereyJack,
Quote:A shooting is a shooting,no one except you is saying it's only a school shooting if there was a semi-auto weapon involved.
Oh I think you understand that my point concerns the rationale for banning alleged assault rifles based on the incidence of school shootings. You brought up the 44 school shootings in 46 weeks. So we're going to go through each one of those and find out how many of them meet the criteria being used by anti-gun nuts like yourself to justify banning semiautomatics in order to stop the slaughter of the children.
Quote:And the Pleasantvlle spokesman is clearly just trying to cover his own ass.
Why don't you enlighten us then as to the motivation behind the shooting?
Quote:And i dont drink. Maybe you should try it.
I don't drink, either. But that has nothing to do with the question of why you don't call drinkers child killers. Alcohol is not good for defense, hunting, or any sport whatsoever. And yet it kills more people, including kids, than guns ever did. So to take a page from your own playbook, if you don't want to ban alcohol, then you don't give a shyt about the people who are needlessly dying because of it. Instead, you decide to go after people like me for claiming the right to own a gun for home defense.

So let's get back to looking at the reversed chronological order of these 44 "school shootings" in which "children are being slaughtered."

A 19-year-old student was shot by a masked gunman while getting out of a car at Achievement Academy, a high school. His injuries were non-life-threatening. Authorities believe an altercation occurred between the victim and shooter.

So, is that your idea of school children being slaughtered, and a reason to ban guns? Simple yes or no. Then we can move on to the next shooting on your list.
