Guns and gun violence are very different things. This only addresses the former.

AP´s style book again: ´urgent effort´...´growing political consensus´...instead of what it is: shameless exploitation of dead children.

I know it´s been said hundreds of times already but .223 is far from ´high-powered.´

Lefties can´t get over the ´military-style´ thing. If Jed Clampett´s shootin´ iron but is used in a murder who cares what it looks like?

Anything except the ongoing failure on the economy, eh?

Gun control laws will be as effective as drug control laws.

He will use executive order, so it will happen immediatly, with no time to protest or to stock up. here it comes.

You are under no legal duty to obey an illegal order.

#1, I believe the US Army ised the .223 (5.62 mm)round in the M-16. The older M1 used a 30 caliber bullet. The 223 is most definitely a high powered round. When talking rifle rounds it is not diameter or weight that kills you, it is velocity and the 223 is a very high velocity round.

My question is where was the Bushmaster (thats a gun that costs well north of a grand by the way. All MSM stories state that it was the gun he used, but all the factual stories state he left it in the trunk of his car. Its hard to believe he would have been buzzed into the school toting a long gun.

The solution is obvious and eagerly sought by gun control zealots: declare the entire United States to be a gun free zone.

Problem solved.

Of course, it doesn´t always work 100%. Take Benghazi, for example. The American embassy was for all practical purposes a gun free zone. But they may have neglected to post the signs prominently or in the local language(s).

Yeah, like I´m gonna listen to the people that presided over Fast and Furious about gun control...

"Look over here."

(And take your eyes off Benghazi.)

Re #5, the reports have been a mess. He took at least 4 weapons to the school. He took the Bushmaster in with him, and is said to have used it. Two handguns were found near his body. He left a shotgun in his car.

All shuck & jive.

Pure posturing.

More gun law will add to safety in the same way that more IRS laws will add to prosperity.

Libs are not reality based.

There is a much simpler and more efficient remedy.

1) Revoke the law that made all public schools become "Gun Free Zones" the actions of Adam Lanza and many others prove conclusively that criminals do not obey "Gun Free Zones" they look for the sign which says to their deranged mind Unarmed victims in this building!

2) Put up new signs, at eye level for adults, that state emphatically:

Three employees within this building are armed. You guess which.

There doesn´t necessarily need to be three or even one armed person in the building
...but there might.

The sign would be about as effective as the fake burglar alarm signs in some yards, criminals will move on to a less secure location.

If it´s that easy to just ban something why can´t they ban cocaine while they are at it ? That´s how it works, right ? Just pass a law ?
