    Eh I guess if I was a nut bag on a rampage with a bolt gun I'd just kill people slower.

    It's all about perspective really. No semi autos might mean less killed in a school shooting or urban rampage. Take the same situation in an isolated rural community, where it might take the police a while to mobilize and sort it out, I doubt rate of fire would matter.

    Realistically though, casualty rates would be irrelevant where kids are involved. I reckon if a school shootin occurs we would be totally fucked regardless of firearm type.

    Enjoy what you can own while you can own it.

    Pretty much. I think they just don't like firearm enthusiasts (us) owning 'military style semi's' at all. American laws slowly but surely seem to be creeping closer & closer to home turf.

    As for mass shootings, this was interesting, the news tonight told us that the Sister of one of the teachers who died at Sandy Hook 2 years ago is suing Bushmaster for the massacre...

    **Face-palm**

    Yea like suing a brand in a huge investment group is going to actually achieve anything. Not only will the courts slap it down harder than a pimp in Harlem, but really, unless they are gold digging, what could they possibly do to a company that will just offload more of their shit products for cheap at Brownells to pay for it. It could set a precedent judgement for more people to sue America gun companies, but really, their argument is fucking retarded.

    Yeah it's a bit of a joke really, I mean yes, I do feel sorry for her. Very tragic and a great loss to the people of Sandy Hook. But lets say Adam Lanzer drove in to the school with a Toyota Prius & ran all those kids down... Would she be suing Toyota for it??

    My gut tells me no. The agenda is too apparent, they want those guns. Her & her lawyer made it clear in the snippet interview they want those evil "assault" weapons banned from society. Even though they were told by the news correspondent that less then 1% of crime in the States is committed with semi autos...

    **Sigh**
