Another major school shooting today ... Newtown, Conn

But, as far as mass murders go. If Australia can put the law in place and have no mass murders for over 16 years, yet had 13 prior to the Masacre in Port Arthur, Tasmania does not not speak volume?

uh, Bill, they come in with guns, not with swords or cans of gasoline. Talk about a strawman.

You don't have SCOTUS.

Again, look at Scalia's recent interviews.

They've been ducking having to define the limits they said exist in Heller,

but Richard Posner stuck them in the ass

And Scalia is talking about the standards that people would have applied to firearms in the 18th century. And assault weapons are pretty much something they would have thought of as the 18th century equivalent of a terror weapon.

When the cases get to the court, you're probably going to see the NRA get smacked down. You too. And more than about time.

You forget that killers would just kill using different weapons.

One big drawback to the NRA's plan, the killers don't need schools or theaters to have lots of targets. Any big gathering will do. You would need a standing army to occupy every city and village to do it exclusively NRA style.

this mass murders nonsense had been of fairly recent happening.

Seung-Hui Cho[2] (pron.: /ˌtʃoʊ sʌŋˈhiː/; January 18, 1984 – April 16, 2007) was a Korean spree killer who killed 32 people and wounded 17 others on April 16, 2007, at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia.[3] An additional 6 people were injured jumping from windows to escape.[4] He was a senior-level undergraduate student at the university. The shooting rampage came to be known as the "Virginia Tech massacre."[5][6] Cho later committed suicide after law enforcement officers breached the doors of the building where the majority of the shooting had taken place. His body is buried in Fairfax, Virginia.

Born in South Korea, Cho arrived in the United States at the age of 8 with his family. He became a US permanent resident as a South Korean national.[7][8][9] In middle school, he was diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder known as selective mutism, as well as major depressive disorder.[10] After this diagnosis he began receiving treatment and continued to receive therapy and special education support until his junior year of high school. During Cho's last two years at Virginia Tech, several instances of his abnormal behavior, as well as plays and other writings he submitted containing references to violence, caused concern among teachers and classmates.

I suppose one might consider being disingenuous as better than flat out lying, but really, Oral, they are the same and you know it.

One big drawback to the NRA's plan, the killers don't need schools or theaters to have lots of targets.

The BUSHMASTER IS AN ASSAULT WEAPON

But, even if someone proved that banning guns would save lives, our freedom would still take precedence over everything else.

Are cars more important then children as far far far far more children died in car accidents then by guns so are we uncaring for not banning cars?

Footnote as the ban the assault weapons people are unlikely to save one child and take attentions away from real solution such people do not care about children in my opinion they just wish to used the death of children to promote there own programs.

Congratulations are in order. When I don't have you on ignore, I've noticed that you've got the distinction of always making an impertinent and irrelevant analogy every single time. You've gotten this down to an art form. Did you study this somewhere or is it a natural talent?
