We get it, dude. You don't like religion. Thanks for sharing.

Got a link?

They got rid of that a while ago.

Hollowpoints for everyone!

I agree that we should all calm down, but I think the threads should stay up. This has been the main place I've been getting updates this past week, because turning on a news station or reading about it on the internet has nearly caused me to have an aneurysm. That said, I'll probably be off the forums/TV/internet on Christmas and for a few days after, if only because I need a rest from all the stress this commotion is causing. I'll be resting up with my family and getting a few new guns in the process. I hope all you guys have a safe and happy holiday.

I'll hand over that old .32 revolver I had. Sadly, it is the only one remaining, as the cruel Atlantic deigned it necessary to swallow the rest. :ph34r: :ph34r:

At this point, I think it's bigger on the inside than on the outside, like the house in House of Leaves.

The last one amounted to crap basically, given the administration's response to it (same bs about banning high capacity "clips" and "weapons of war"). Doesn't mean we shouldn't try again. If we keep the heat on them from all sides, we stand a better chance than if we sit by and idly let things pass. Be sure to send letters to every politician that you can, INCLUDING the opposition. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/reconsider-their-stance-new-federal-assault-weapons-ban-based-logic-and-reason/Fc2KM9N2

Ditto. I want to know so I can prepare for the inevitable shitstorm that will come from either side.

The comments are infuriating (the antigun ones I mean). Those are the same people that will defend to the death the same bs a man like Piers Morgan says on a daily basis.

Czechpoint just raised the price to almost $1k about two hours ago, and there's only one type of rifle that isn't on backorder.

I see it going one of two ways: 1. They stand their ground and offer to help congress to draft meaningful mental health legislation 2. They cave and throw us under the bus

Ah, you too? The high seas be a cruel mistress indeed. :ph34r:

I hope it doesn't come to that. I don't want to be around when that shitstorm hits.

So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.

Yeah, I'm getting ready for it. I can already feel the knife poking between my shoulder blades.

At this point, I don't know how it would go. I would hope that the courts would be reasonable and see that legal concealed carry did not cause this tragedy, but the uninformed masses would likely froth at the mouth at anything gun related, no matter how logical your argument is. Nothing to do but hope that things go our way and inform as many people as we can.

Signed, but it looks like we only have 36k signatures and the gun control one has about 180k. Hell, even if the numbers were reversed, I doubt the white house would give a damn about us.

Somehow, I have the sinking feeling that we're all going to become very familiar with the underside of a bus.

Mental health reform is a much more solid idea. What you propose does nothing to eliminate spree killings, it just makes it so that people who buy newer guns cannot go near schools. Good luck implementing that plan on the 200 or so million guns that are already out there and without chips. If we can start the long process of changing the country's mentality concerning mental health, we could eliminate most if not all of these types of killings. Think of it this way: Either spend 5 minutes writing up a bill to ban things and curtail civil rights while stopping SOME killings, or take the time to make an effort to help people and stop MOST killings.

Contrary to popular belief, people who enjoy firearms sometimes happen to live very close to schools. What are they going to do, make an area within 1000 ft. of a school into a gun-free zone?

From what the news is saying now, it seems that he had some sort of problem with his parents and that was his "reasoning." The people blaming upbringing are partially right. A lot of people these days don't know how to deal with things. All their lives they have everything handed to them on a silver platter, then one day something goes wrong and they fly off the handle. But another big part of it is mental health. Despite what we just saw on the news, there are millions of people out there that DON'T go on shooting sprees every single day. But there are those out there ailing and in need, and our society does nothing but set up an undercurrent of stigmatization for those with mental problems. I'm betting that if this guy had at least someone to vent to, he would've maybe thought everything over and not gone through with it. I'm not talking just political reform; the media, the news, people in general... We all need to change. It's a dark place to be in, and it will keep happening until we make that conscious effort.

I've already heard mention of the AWB on the news. It's goddamn sickening that these kids' bodies aren't even cold and these pieces of trash are already using them for politics.
