I agree but it can only happen if parents are involved. Luckily for us we were in a fairly conservative area and our Daughter went to a school who's principle was old school hard core. Even with that we brought her up not with any political principle but the good book and common sense. We steered her in the direction we thought best and answered any questions from her honestly, no bias. We kept her so busy with activities, Brownies, Girl Scouts, softball, volleyball, camping, etc. which at times wore us out, that she didn't have time to get into too much trouble. Actually she didn't really need this because she naturally has a good head on her shoulders and is quite smart, except in math. She's also very competitive and tests her husband and myself all the time. At my age and having been retired for a while don't think I could beat her in a physical wrestling match but I can still mess her mind up with gullible stuff.

I'm one lucky dude. We all hunt and fish together, Mom, Dad, Daughter, Son in Law, two Grandkids. It don't get better than that. I'm gonna die a happy man. Mike

I wonder if the liberals even know what weapon was used in the highest body count at a school or even what that school was? The AR doesn't stand for ASSUALT RIFLE. It's a takes away from Armalite which produced the Colt design AR10 which is .308 originally.

To answer the question, it was Va. Tech., 39 dead, 9mm handgun. Mike

The gun laws are more than on the books but like immigration if they aren't being enforced don't work. More laws are just an excuse for congress shits to stay in office. Mike

Lori, you are totally right and I believe it's intentional. You would probably know why before most. Mike

Hmmm...if it is already against the law to murder anyone...oh I know, lets have MORE laws that don't work.

It's actually a PEOPLE problem, not a firearm problem. Anyone notice that if guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns? Alcohol prohibition didn't work. Drug prohibition is a far worse failure & on top of that one, LEGAL Rx drugs are part of the equation. Most, if not all of the school shooters were on or had been on psychotropic LEGALLY PRESCRIBED Rx medications.

Another aspect is that Cruz was a walking neon sign shaped like a big red flag. Failures in law enforcement on many levels is part of this mess. FBI knew about the Boston kids & others they could have done something about. They also knew about Cruz. Cruz should have been stopped. He wasn't. So now we have to punish law abiding gun owners, restrict them & blame the NRA. Yeah right. That'll really work. Sheesh. The spirit of stupidity is really going strong these days.

I made payments so I could be an NRA Life Member. Now I am also going to join Gun Owners Of America [sans the gun ;-) Too expensive.]

Another part of the current mess is when Elohim, Nature's God, was illegally banned in violation of "Congress shall make no law establishing a religion...", where the "or prohibit the free exorcise thereof" part is ignored, our national mess started getting worse? John Adams [he was a US Founder] said that the US Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. This is what we have reaped after years of God is dead, there is no God, if it feels good do it, the playboy lifestyle was big, the sex revolution, banning volunteer public prayer & manger scenes...& on we could go. If people continue down that road...it won't get any better.

Like I said, it's a people problem, not a gun problem. If firearms were the problem, we'd all be dead.

If a rifle does not have a select fire capability, it is not an "assault rifle." If these semi autos are "weapons of war," then why have they never been issued to the military in a semi auto only configuration? If they are "weapons of war," I'll bet you could tell us which war they were used in.

Maybe if we are really lucky, it will happen to you.

I was trying to keep it on a level you could understand.

Yeah, this is one of those arguments that come right out of the NRA can. Here's my very simple response. The NRA is NOT the authority on what a weapon of war is. So, you can hide behind your convenient definitions all you want but what defines a weapon of war is the intention behind the design not whether it was actually used by the military. I understand the NRA draws the line between what is fully-automatic and semi-automatic, but ANY automation is designed to maximize the speed with which a person can fire the weapon. Rapid fire, whether it requires a double-action finger or not is not necessary for hunting and it's rarely ever needed for self-defense, the point of rapid fire is to maximize killing capacity in battle, whether the Pentagon buys the weapon or not.

I'm not suggesting we ban all semi-automatic weapons... But I think we should ban large capacity magazines with which to feed them because if you have 6 or 9 rounds fed into a semi-automatic, that's sufficient for any civilian defending her/himself against crime. If you're asking for more, then you probably ARE the criminal.

So, since you are claiming to be an expert on firefights, tell us how many rounds you fired the last time YOU were in one? How do you know how many rounds it takes? How about it, sport? Are you speaking from experience, or just typical StraightUp know it all chicken kacky?

The intention of the design of a semi automatic look alike was not military use. The last semi auto rifle issued to the military was the M1 Garand in WWII.
Knives are rarely used for self defense either, but every year, year after year, they kill more people than ALL rifles. Not just the ones of which you don't approve. Oh, yes, BTW...what the HELL is a "double action finger?" Is it anything like the single action finger in my avatar which is sometimes directed at you?
You have not been in a gun fight. I have. You have not had to use a firearm to defend your life. I have. Mind telling me just where the F*ck you get the idea you know more about it?
