There are other studies being done that are not being manipulated by the NRA and their communists buddies. One was released today showing that children in America are being killed at a rate of 36.5 times the rate in other wealthy countries. If you are a child, you are 36.5 times more likely to be killed by a gun nut. Now more than 40,000 people are killed by gun nuts.
There is something morally wrong with a country that allows its children to be slaughtered for the vanity of the minority.
The first thing the new Congress should do is repeal the Dickey Amendment.
The NRA is a puppet organization and it is the gun manufacturers that have their hand up the puppet’s ass.
The bump stocks are not the real problem the assault weapons like the AR-15 are the real problem.
The bump stock only exploits the already existing design capabilities of the AR-15.
It will be just a matter of time before somebody else designs some other way of pulling the trigger just as fast.

If you are a child, you are 36.5 times more likely to be killed by a gun nut. Now more than 40,000 people are killed by gun nuts. However, this was conducted without interference from the gun manufacturers association. Only one third of homes in America have a gun so the tail has been wagging the dog. There is something morally wrong with a country that allows its children to be slaughtered for the vanity of the minority. We think of America as a safe place but in fact a child is 57% more likely to die in America by the time they are 19. The first thing the new Congress should do is repeal the Dickey Amendment.
All you have to do is follow the money and most of the money that funds the NRA comes from the gun manufacturers when it isn’t coming from Russia. The NRA is a puppet organization and it is the gun manufacturers that have their hand up the puppet’s ass. The other manufacturers in America greatly admired what the gun manufacturers had done with the NRA and some tried to imitate their successes by creating puppet organizations of their own.
The bump stocks are not the real problem the assault weapons like the AR-15 are the real problem. The bump stock only exploits the already existing design capabilities of the AR-15.
It will be just a matter of time before somebody else designs some other way of pulling the trigger just as fast. If you are a mass murder you don’t need to worry about accuracy you just fire into a large crowd the bullets will hit someone. The Las Vegas shooter fired 1,000 rounds in 10 minutes with seven of his assault weapons armed with bump stocks. He killed 58 and injured 851 meaning that hit his targets 91% of the time.
The problem is 40,000 people are killed with guns each year while 1,604 people are killed with knives and cutting instruments.
The movement has everything to do with the number of people being murdered by gun nuts.
It has nothing to do with freedom
and everything to do with our children being slaughtered at 36.5 times the rate in other wealthy countries.
Take the hand cuffs off the CDC and let see what the true facts are.
The NRA was such a sham operation
He who gives the money controls the NRA and it is not the membership.
Only assault weapons are designed to fire 900 rounds a minute.
Why is it they don’t refer to rifles as assault weapons?
Can you site one case where 50 people were killed by a rifle?
The method is the assault weapons the bump stocks were just a modification of the assault weapon.
If a few people getting killed in a theater after someone yells fire in a crowded theater is a good reason to limit the first amendment then more people being killed with guns since 1968 than in all the wars in American history is a great reason to limit the second amendment.
You could buy all the guns you wanted with pistol grips even under the 1994 assault weapon ban none of the demonstrations about gun violence were about banning pistol grips.
No, it was not because of pistol grips on guns it is because gun manufacturers have flooded the streets of America with modern weapons of war.
Are you telling me that gun deaths are completely unrelated to guns?
I agree with you that hand guns should be banned also.
Did you see even one sign in all of the thousands of signs at the national gun protest about pistol grips?
Obviously, no one is concerned about pistol grips.
You seem to think that a pistol grip is what makes a gun an assault weapon it doesn’t.
Assault weapons are not just rifles with pistol grips. They are very specific guns designed for the purpose of mass murder during wars.
There is absolutely nothing about guns in the civil rights laws.
Sixty-eight percent of American people want assault weapon banned.
In our country the majority rules it is just a matter of time.
Then we will just ban assault weapons and you can have a pistol grip made for every rifle you own.
You can have all the pistol grips you want it is assault weapons that must be banned.
assault weapons on the other hand were designed for mass murder.
The most important features of the M-16 were covered by the original patent for the AR-15 was a unique way to chamber shells quickly. The advancement that was patented allowed the AR-15 to have the capability to chamber over a hundred rounds a minute. The device that makes in effect fires each round as it enters the chamber is not the problem that was solved by the AR-15. It is much harder to get the rounds from the magazine into the chamber so quickly than to make it fully automatic. For a school shooter getting those rounds chamber so quickly is the most important feature of the gun for mass murder.
The capability to fire so many rounds so quickly makes it as efficient as some machine guns.
I could pull the trigger 106 time in a minute with practice
The assault weapons were banned for a reason and that reason was the amount of rounds they can fire in minute that is what causes the massive amount of damage they cause.
the Acts of Parliament become part of English common law
and are binding on English common law.
The common law cases you cited are the foundation for the severe gun restrictions in England.
If in fact you believe in English common law those cases you cited are binding precedence’s on their current restrictive gun laws.
You can’t have it both ways claiming that English common law gives you rights and then saying it does not do the same in England.
I do not recall any part of the Constitution that guarantees rights prescribed under English common law.
Than you expect the Supreme Court to adopt the restrictive English guns laws because if they have to accept one English Law they have adopt them all.
You simply can’t pick and choose if one English law is binding they all are.
I will grant you that the 9th and 10th amendments are not very specific and are no doubt rendered so by the changes in language over time.
But all rights are not unlimited.
All of those new statutes you want to ignore become binding on English common law.
We don’t need to repeal the second amendment we just need to make sure common- sense limits are placed on it.
If the assault weapon ban was about pistol grips why were they not banned?
The NRA (gun manufacturers association))
If the assault weapon ban was about pistol grips why did they not call it a pistol grip ban?
If they had wanted to ban pistol grips it would have been easy to do.
Come on you really don’t need a grenade launcher mount as long as you can have a pistol grip.
Since pistol grips are perfectly legal what are you so worried about?
Nobody is advocating banning pistol grips.
Heck, I don’t care if you have a grenade launcher as long as you can’t get grenades.
Pistol grips are not the problem.
The 1994 assault weapon ban did not ban pistol grips or all hand gun would have been banned also.
Assault weapons don’t need a pistol grip. They will fire just as many rounds from the shoulder without a pistol grip.
I have never advocated banning pistol grips just assault weapons.
An assault weapon will kill just as many people without a pistol grip.
Pistol grips have never been banned you could always buy a gun with a pistol grip.
Would you please show me a post where I called for a pistol grip ban?
I think we will just have to agree pistol grips should not be banned but assault weapons should.
We have a problem in this country with mass murder. There are two parts to the equation the gun and the shooter. We have 13 million psychopaths who are fully capable of mass murder who are not suffering from mental illness. We can’t eliminate 13 million psychopaths so the banning the assault weapons is the only possible solution.
If assault weapons were just rifles with pistol grips then these murders would be done with a number of different rifles but they continue to use the same style of assault weapons.
This situation is not getting any better.
A good reason is the fact we have killed more people on the streets of America since 1968 then in all the wars in history. That is a tremendous reason.
Civil Rights legislation was passed in 1964
If we were bound by all the laws of the 1200s we would be in a mess.
English Common law is nothing more than the sum of court decisions in the courts of England over a long period of time. Can you even imagine how many extremely bad court decisions are part of English common law? Many common court decisions are overturned every year. So, if you are correct we are stuck with every bad court decision in England over the last 1,000 years.
Hanging all the bad court decision made by ignorant foreigners around the neck of America would be much like hanging an albatross around America’s neck.
So, you believe that all of English common law is binding on America?
There are laws even in America that are absurd. One Kentucky states law states that your brake lights must have stop written across the stop lights. Another law from Owensboro Kentucky law states that a woman may not buy a hat without her husband permission. English common law would be absolutely full of garbage like this. We would have no way to repeal or pick and choose which English laws we would like to be subject to.
Did you read the cases you posted? They were not about self-protection they were about hunting game. The people were afraid guns were going to kill all of the game animals out.
If we were killing more people in America’s streets since 1968 than all the wars in America history this would be a very compelling reason.
You can have a 100,000 pistol grips if you want
Times are changing the political winds are shifting.
Assault weapons were designed for wars
a pistol grip is just a handle.
Pistol grips have never been a subject of a ban.
Assault weapons are indeed on the way out
you will always be able to buy a pistol grip.
How many times have you asserted that pistol grips are banned when they never were?
They way referring saying you have a civil right to own a gun does not make it so.
I understand that other countries can make laws but it doesn’t mean that America is bound them.
You simply want to cherry pick certain laws and say they apply but it the same time say that the England strict gun laws don’t. You can have your Kate and Edith too.
Same type of reasoning if someone can be murdered another way it is an excuse to do nothing at all.
Assault weapons are weapons of war designed to fight wars with.
They serve no other good purpose.
Assault weapons are the overwhelming choice of mass murders nation-wide.
Remington is already in bankruptcy any up tick in sales may be too late.
The fact that anything can be converted to full automatic should scare the hell out of you.
Go ahead and alert the hunters.
If you can’t kill the animal with one shot it is not a sport.
Pistol grips don’t increase the speed that a gun fires.
Assault weapons are the Ferraris of the gun world.
Assault weapons were designed with exactly those factors in mind.
If they can design shock absorbers that will take the shock of hitting a pothole out of 3,000 lb. car it should be easy to build a shock absorber that would absorb the shock of recoil with current technology.
Not all people are the same speed let alone semi-automatics.
Pistol grips are not necessary for mass murder
but assault weapons are.
You are right Adam Lanza did not fire all the rounds from his clips which indicates to me something was malfunctioning in the gun
The Heller case was bought because the Washington DC police department refused to let Heller register his hand gun.
We have a problem in America we are by far the most violent society of any civilized country in the world because of the wide spread distribution of guns.
We have the best reason in the world to limit the second amendment and that is human life. You can not bring a single school child back to life.
Pistol grips are legal. Cars are legal but if you put loud muffler on it is illegal. It is the combination that makes it illegal.
The military may not use grenade launcher on rifles any more but some nut case in the public would if he could get his hands on grenades. The Texas bomber would love to have a grenade launcher.
The Texas bomber loves things that explode and grenades make loud boom. He would absolutely love to have a grenade launcher.
Varmints can be killed in a number of other ways.
You can’t get past the fact that pistol grips are legal you continue to attack a strawman.
The NRA has one reason to exist and that is to sell more guns for the gun manufacturers
The NRA also teaches people how to handle guns safely.
Criminals do not take those classes.
So you agree that they're basically shills for the gun manufacturers, that's great.
So you agree that they're basically shills for the gun manufacturers, that's great.
And I agree with you, they do promote marksmanship and gun safety; that was their sole mission before they got hijacked by the survivalist paranoids, white nationalist "flaggots", and libertarian Rambos.
What's your point? What's germane is that, thanks to the NRA, it's easier than ever for criminals to obtain firearms.
Do you really think that crime victims or people who've lost friends or family members to suicides really care whether the firearm was used "safely"?
