Did anybody else happen to catch this article. I saw it at my doctors office this morning. So, had to steal it. OOOPs, I meant BORROW it...

 

Man, I have to read that.... not what I would expect from TIME magazine, unless the story makes us out to be WRONG for turning against gun control.... you know, "bitter clingers" and all...

Needo tshow that to my GF who told me this weekend 80% of Americans are against Semi automatic weapons.

 

I said, its closer to 80% of Americans that OWN Semi auto weapons

The editor in chief of Time laments the lack of success with things like magazine capacity limits and the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban. Screw him. He should move to New Jersey if he wants all that crap.

Ok, I scanned and uploaded to my photobucket account. Can somebody try clicking this link and see if it is clear enough??

I see it, reading now, thank you.

Typical Time hogwash. Lamenting how the Assault ban may have helped and how the evil NRA is extreme. fugg time.

Holy bs Batman! Sorry. Someone needs to take off their pissy-pants. Total one sided crying and whining about the failure of the left to push for more gun controls. Typical crap, calling semi-automatics "assault rifles" and blathering on about access to bulk ammo and large capacity magazines. No rational thought or time given to the fact the even though Colorado has a shall-issue CCW law the theater’s policy was to ban guns, which the shooter I might add not only ignored but most likely sought out to his advantage. I should have known better than to expect more from Time.

What a bunch of tripe. It's the NRA's fault they donated a whole 18.9 million dollars over 22 years.

 

What was BOBO's take last month? 181 million

 

So it must be the NRA buying off votes.

ROFL. He actually puts some blame on comic books. He should have thrown in Rock N Roll, DND and the 1001 other things that at one point or another have been blamed for causing violence. I mean the idea "comics cause violence" is from the 40's and 50's and just about everyone knows is not true by now.

I was under the impression that guns are living things and decide on their own to kill. Was I wrong? XD

 

Ugh, maybe the reason that people are now pro-gun is because of the fact we lived through the 90s and early 2000s with such restrictions in place with no appreciable drop in crime. Hell, if anything, the drop in crime really came about after such bans expired.

Most rational people will realize that the Shall Issue CCW laws began to be signed into law around 1989 starting with Florida. Most will correctly attribute systematic drops in overall crime in those states as they adopted such laws.

At the same time as people began to find interest in firearms in the early '90s they were hit with the arbitrary restrictions contained in the federal assault weapon ban which made the law increasingly unpopular as people began to understand what it was really about. Most of the people that started purchasing evil black rifles in the '90s did so simply because government "banned" them. The so called ban actually increased the popularity of the weapons and in most states it became clear the ban was merely cosmetic in nature.

Even towards the end of the 10 year ban 30 round AR magazines were available at any gun show for less than $40 each. Granted that is almost 3 times their real world cost but after a prohibition on production for over 10 years it was hardly unaffordable for most.

Even if they had become unaffordable for most people its not like the criminals could could not create thier own magazines, by combing a couple of 10 round ones, if they really wanted one.

Just like they do out in the war zones- tape together a bunch of mags... Flip and click everytime you run out (my friend was USMC and explained how they used this).
