Gun control doesn't simply mean banning particular weapons but also registration, background checks of owners, and ensuring that owners have received sufficient training and education in the use of firearms.

The bottom line is that anything could be used as a weapon. As other posters have stated, this is a mental issue and there is nothing any law will or can do to prevent mental instabilities. What if there weren't any guns in the US and someone used his car to kill people? Drugs are also illegal in the US but people have no problem obtaining them and using them. Ask Bon Jovi's kid.

That's why there should be background checks.

School Shooters Under the Influence of Psychiatric Drugs



Fact: Between 2004 and 2011, there have been over 11,000 reports to the U.S. FDA’s MedWatch system of psychiatric drug side effects related to violence. These include 300 cases of homicide, nearly 3,000 cases of mania and over 7,000 cases of aggression. Note: By the FDA’s own admission, only 1-10% of side effects are ever reported to the FDA, so the actual number of side effects occurring are most certainly higher.

Fact: At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 109 wounded and 58 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs.) The most important fact about this list, is that these are only the shooters where the information about their psychiatric drug use was made public.

an to think Ronnie Ray Gun (Rethug) banned fully auto weapons in 1986.

Anyone got a nice pre- 1986 AK-47 for sale?

The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 will be remembered as an important piece of legislation for gun rights. However, Reagan also cast his support behind the two most controversial pieces of gun control legislation of the past 30 years. His support of the Assault Weapons Ban in 1994 may have directly led to the ban winning the approval of Congress. Congress passed the ban by a vote of 216-214. In addition to Klug voting for the ban after Reagan’s last minute plea, Rep. Dick Swett, D-N.H., also credited Reagan’s support of the bill for helping him decide to cast a favorable vote.


FYI: those cheap AK knock off's are junk. Mine jammed just setting in the doomstead for a few Months. Sold it the next week....

Guys,

check out my post in the planning for the future forum thread about this 'massacre'..

Thought I'd be late to this here?

Here's a condensed version of the Sandy Hook actors:

Does anyone remember seeing any "parent" of one of the kids who were "killed" actually shedding one tear? Were these children real? If so, where they really killed? Or are they now new property of a federal program?

According to RT.com, some guy out west who calls himself “Milo Danger” built a Do It Yourself (DIY) Drone, armed it with a paint-ball gun, and flew it around zapping targets the size of dinner plates from as far as 15 yards, to demonstrate the inevitable future’s droning on and on. He said it took him about twelve hours and cost less than two thousand dollars to construct.

Of course the first thing they’ll do with these DIY drones is regulate them, so only “law enforcement” hobbyists, purchasing state-of-the-art drones from legitimate, government-contracted corporations, can use them to smoke “bad guys.” Then they’ll de-regulate the corporate drone-makers so they can fill the back-ordered requests of every local dictator and flat-foot from the Mayor of NYC to Sheriff Mayberry and Deputy Fife…

Yeah, burn those video games! Make a huge bonfire!

Connecticut town to burn violent video games in wake of Sandy Hook tragedy

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') Connecticut community is urging people to turn in violent video games to be destroyed. The move was prompted by the December 14 mass shooting at nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School, during which 20 children and six educators were killed.
A collection drive will take place on January 12 in the town of Southington, Connecticut, a 30-minute drive from the scene of the massacre in Newtown.

Violent video games, CDs, and DVDs will be placed in a dumpster and later burned by town employees.
The event was was organized by Southington SOS, a coalition of local groups.

"As people arrive in their cars to turn in their games of violence, they will be offered a gift certificate donated by a member of the Greater Southington Chamber of Commerce as a token of appreciation for their action of responsible citizenship," the group said in a statement.

In a press release, Southington SOS said its actions should not be “construed as statement declaring that violent videogames were the cause of the shocking violence in Newtown on December 14," but that violent video games and films desensitize children to “acts of violence.”
