    This should be the first question after every attack. But it never is.
    I am all for banning assault rifles, but if a psycho wants to kill lots of people, pipe bombs are very easy to make and conceal.

    The fixation on AR15s is silly. There are magazine fed semi-auto firearms in all forms. So the laws attempt to draw the line and magazine capacity. Ok so the person might have to reload more. But it takes a second to reload a glock. There are speed loaders for revolvers. If you take a standard capacity shotgun and spray 00 Buck into a crowd, that's 45 projectiles in a single load, which is greater than most AR-15 magazines. So where are we ever going to stop if we keep going down this path? Back to muzzle loaders? That's why people are resistant to these laws.

    And you you can inflict just as many casualties in a mass knifing attack. Just google mass stabbing...

    Agree that AR15's should not be the focus. Any and all semi or fully automatic weapons should be banned. as well as speed loaders etc. There is no legitimate reason or purpose for the average citizen to own these weapons. Thanks for making that point clear.

    In any case, it's bad ass that you survived.

    So pump action shotguns, revolvers, and bolt action magazine fed are ok?

    How big of a magazine are you using on that thing? Standard mags hold 30 rounds. To get out 300 rounds in 60 seconds would be quite an accomplishment.

    I'm not saying it in any other way other than the fact that people get in their own ways instead of compromising.

    Governor running for cover after signing a probably illegal bill that Missouri is exempt from any federal gun regulations.

    Did what I had to do. I think I've told the story before here. I was walking home from work one night and saw a weirdo messing with a woman at a bus stop. She did not want his advances. He was touching her and kept talking to her. She kept telling him to leave her alone. I stepped in and told him to leave her alone and get the fuck out of there. He told me to mind my own business. I repeated to him to kick rocks. He pulled a knife and came at me. We tussled. I got stabbed in the shoulder. I got really angry then and told him he better run and he did. Waited at the bus stop till the woman's bus came, then went home.

    If he had a gun it might have been a different story. I might not be here. I'll take a knife over a gun any day.

    You survived because he ran. A knife is actually a more dangerous weapon in close quarters in many ways.

    I don't watch football. So I don't know who Taylor Swift is. But he sounds fast.

    Pretend you have 100 unarmed random people you want to harm that are waiting for public transit. Which weapon do you think would cause the most harm, a knife or a gun? Which weapon do you *think a random person would be able to do the most harm with?

    A bomb.

    Please take away everyones bombs, no more innocent people will be killed with bombs. Wait, that is not true.

    We better take away anything needed to make any type of bomb. Such as fertilizer and diesel fuel. Where does it end?

    I will keep my guns to protect ny family until you prove every single gun has been taken away from every single gang member, druggy, criminal, and the mentally ill. AND, can prove no more guns can cross the border illegally. You know, the same way this has worked out so well stopping illegal drugs from getting in.

    So what is your plan? I am all ears.
