First of all there is no need for name calling, if you can't handle someone who doesn't agree with you then you get off the damn topic.
If you read my post before you got all hot and bothered I suggested that all guns but hunting rifles should be banned. This guy used an assault rifle, explain to me the need to have one please? I would really like to hear the opinion of such an Einstein.
The guns were obtained legally, that's the damn point! If people couldn't obtain them legally then there would be less on the street. Where do you think the guns come from that criminals use? They obtain guns from people who got them legally, whether they are stolen or sold it still means legal guns provide more availability to the people that should not have them.
If You can't see past the end of your nose that's not my problem. Something like I suggested takes time, everyone these days wants a quick fix to a problem. Over time they would be harder for a person to get illegally, think about it.
Now as far as obtaining a gun legally there should be stricter laws, yes I said it "Stricter". I think it should go as far as a physiological evaluation, and you should also have to give out information as to who you live with and if they could be a threat or have mental issues. Right now all you need to do to get a gun is not have a violent felony!
I thought this was a mature forum not a teenage chat room, check your issues at the door please.
I apologize if I offended you or name-calling, but you have no idea how angry the anti-gun crowd makes us gun-rights activists... Please understand, we aren't the ones committing these crimes!
There is nothing wrong with hunting, true!
However, what is wrong with us owning guns for other legal purposes such as target practice and most importantly self-defense?
It IS clear what the Second Amendment has to say about this: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

That is just it. I did read your post! What exactly gives you the right to decide what weapons we can and cannot have? Who exactly are you to tell me I cannot have my handguns or sporting rifle (i.e. AR-15)?
What gives ANYONE the right to deny me the right to protect myself and my family and friends with weapons of my choosing?
Last week it was reported the shooter used an assault rifle then it was reported he used hand guns only and that the assault rifle was left in his car. Now the story is back to he used an assault rifle.
The term "assault" rifle itself is a misnomer.
The guns were obtained legally, that's the damn point!
The guns were NOT obtained legally. He stole them from his mother and shot her, too. You may think gun rights activists armed this guy, legally. We didn't! He was a criminal and illegally obtained arms.

The real threat is the fact that our own government is armed to the teeth. The 2nd Amendment does not only regard one’s personal self-defense, but it speaks to the broader ability of the people to keep a potentially oppressive, out-of-control government and its standing army in check. Simply put citizens need to have such weapons because as Thomas Jefferson said,
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." We don't even need to use the guns... There mere possession scares the crap out of our leaders who want to take them away because they know that deep down inside their corrupt sh*t stinks, and it makes them afraid to carry out things like Agenda 21 (One-World Government). There is no freedom where people are not allowed to keep posses arms.
If people couldn't obtain them legally then there would be less on the street. Where do you think the guns come from that criminals use?
True, but EVERY gun on the street would therefore be illegal. I wouldn't want to live in a world where only the police and criminals have guns. Guns would scare the cottage cheese and non-dairy creamer out of me in a world like that! the guns that criminals use come from crime; since, by very definition they are not legal guns.
I think it should go as far as a physiological evaluation, and you should also have to give out information as to who you live with and if they could be a threat or have mental issues. Right now all you need to do to get a gun is not have a violent felony!
Right, and exactly who do you think should do this physiological evaluation?
Right now to buy a gun you need (legally):
1. To go to a Federal Licensed Firearms Dealer.
2. Fill out a form 4473 and provide valid Identification
3. Have a background check that ensures you have NO crimes of domestic abuse, violence, or any felonies of any kind whatsoever. It also checks that you have never been admitted to any mental institutions (against your will i.e. court order).
Why should they check the other members of your household?
It IS the gun owner's responsibility to secure his or her guns!
Think that's bad? Anti-Gun Activists are calling for the shooting of NRA members. That's right! Where is the irony in that?
