The bulk of handguns today are semi autos. Get rid of them, too.

You forgot the military. They have tons of guns. If no one owned guns there -- Hoogle.com 03/27/2018 10:29AM

Isn’t the military pretty careful about not letting their folks walk around -- KCHoo 03/27/2018 10:37AM

I mean no guns in war! Maybe knives. -- Hoogle.com 03/27/2018 12:32PM

Don’t really get your point. ** -- KCHoo 03/27/2018 12:53PM

I will explain later. ( Got to take my meds now.) ** -- Hoogle.com 03/27/2018 1:09PM

Yep. Only the security personnel have weapons. ** -- HowieT3 03/27/2018 11:35AM

The problem is political correctness -- NJHoo 03/26/2018 9:20PM

We need a march against political correctness. Oh wait, they -- HoosWillWin 03/27/2018 07:59AM

Always amusing when someone is so stupid, they hurt their own cause -- Tafkam Hokie 03/26/2018 9:33PM

I'll respectfully disagree with part of this -- 757 03/26/2018 8:05PM

Actually, violent crime overall is down almost 50% over the last 25 years -- Tafkam Hokie 03/26/2018 9:43PM

True. And a very controversial reason for that cited in Freakonomics. -- hoolstoptheheels 03/27/2018 10:20AM

I think I read a poll recently that said almost 60% of people thought -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:57PM

Maybe because of unprecedented numbers of mass shootings of innocent people -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 07:16AM

The Vegas shooting is the only event where the type -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/27/2018 07:34AM

No, that’s what I have been arguing. The only way to -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/27/2018 09:20AM

A capacity limit is a meaningful and effective regulation ** -- Old Dorms Rule! 03/27/2018 10:32AM

I'd include Orlando as well. Parkland... who knows? Does the cop on -- BocaHoo91 03/27/2018 08:50AM

Oh I don't know how anyone can say that. The VPI case is almost an -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 07:51AM

Something like since the 94 ban the ratio is -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/27/2018 08:22AM

They are NOT just as deadly. How can you say that? ** -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 08:26AM

From a physics viewpoint any rifle round -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/27/2018 09:18AM

Or Parkland, or etc etc etc etc etc etc ** -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 09:34AM

Resource officer aside, he could have easily killed just as -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/27/2018 09:51AM

So lets ban, or at least really restrict, those kind of weapons as well ** -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 10:59AM

That’s my point. Just banning assault rifles is pointless. The -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/27/2018 11:14AM

But why would a ban or severe restriction of assault weapons not -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 11:30AM

Look at that Fox News poll posted yesterday. A lot more -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/27/2018 11:45AM

Since I am skeptical of ANY Fox poll, I googled this issue -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 1:31PM

I think the point of citing a Fox News poll is that it implies -- Tafkam Hokie 03/27/2018 6:45PM

While the polls have moved in this direction in the last few years, there -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 8:16PM

That’s not too far from Fox’s poll. The only thing lower than bans -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/27/2018 2:06PM

Ban all semis...yup. ** -- hoothat 03/27/2018 11:13AM

LOL. ** -- Hokieesith 03/27/2018 08:32AM

Agreed. And a special thanks to Roe v Wade for that. ** -- fphoo 03/27/2018 06:26AM

Go back and watch some movies from the 80's and early 90's -- Tafkam Hokie 03/26/2018 10:05PM

They talk out of both sides of the mouth. -- ryno hoo 03/26/2018 9:54PM

Short answer is in this particular case, people around the world -- hoolstoptheheels 03/26/2018 7:53PM

Perhaps the IRS needs AR-15's to help combat the nation's out of control -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 7:27PM

Because I want one. Actually, I want my M4. Thanks. ** -- Hokieesith 03/26/2018 7:53PM

At least you’re honest. That’s really -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 8:09PM

Don't disagree...but I do wonder if a shotgun is the right solution for an -- Tuckahokie 03/27/2018 10:38AM

That you can take with you to militia training. Originalism, baby! ** -- WahooRQ 03/27/2018 08:37AM

Yeah, brilliant idea...Let's just have one massive gun ban. ** -- hoothat 03/26/2018 10:31PM

Yeah, yeah, I know. And cars kill more than both, let's outlaw cars -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 8:42PM

No, you are not for gun control if you are only focusing on semi-autos. -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 8:49PM

I'm not going along with anyone. I'm forming my own opinion based on -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 9:41PM

You do realize when you mention the word ban you automatically -- Cold Hoober Hoo 03/26/2018 10:05PM

It's the "every little bit helps" argument. I get it. -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:49PM

I think this is a little different. Unlike NJhoo, I don't want your wife -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 9:58PM

Actually you do seem to be "OK with things" that put your family at risk -- TomKazanski 03/27/2018 09:56AM

No, it's still gun control. It's not TOTAL gun ban, it's not all of what -- 111Balz 03/26/2018 9:10PM

And why are you putting school shootings as a higher priority -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:18PM

No, it's because NRA morons oppose EVERY Effort to control the gun -- 111Balz 03/26/2018 9:27PM

Lol. NO ONE? ** -- hoothat 03/26/2018 10:25PM

Sorry to hear you are not doing more for inner city. I'm glad you're open -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:34PM

No you don't. You just use that to deflect and delay ** -- 111Balz 03/27/2018 07:06AM

He can't focus on that. That would be racist. AR15's are the perfect thing -- Hokieesith 03/26/2018 10:15PM

You don't support a total gun ban? ** -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:12PM

So, you are trying to change the subject, BTTTS, but to answer you -- 111Balz 03/26/2018 9:18PM

I can't talk about banning guns in a gun control thread? -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:20PM

If you insist, I give in. Ban them all for NuttyBilly ** -- NJHoo 03/26/2018 9:23PM

He's the equivalent of a bot. Not a sign of intelligence. Just a parrot ** -- 111Balz 03/26/2018 9:28PM

He would love that. ** -- Hokieesith 03/26/2018 9:13PM

Boca doesn't like statistics ** -- hoothat 03/26/2018 8:34PM

Hey at least I understand statistics and can grasp the concept that -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 8:49PM

And I think you watch too much TV, so there. lol ** -- hoothat 03/26/2018 9:32PM

I haven't killed anyone. To many people that have them -- Hokieesith 03/26/2018 8:14PM

And I like blowing shit up with dynamite. But I can't go down to the -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 8:41PM

The window to ban weapons has closed. -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 8:54PM

I 100% support your ability to defend your home with a handgun, as long -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 8:57PM

Wow, pathetic -- TomKazanski 03/27/2018 3:30PM

That is very unlike you. Shame on you NJ. Shame. ** -- Hokieesith 03/26/2018 10:36PM

You hope my wife shoots me? Interesting. ** -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:35PM

Sounds awesome. BTW, your wife stands a better chance -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 9:12PM

Sure, i like statistics. i know you would't have said that if you didn't -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:13PM

Sure. Having a gun in the house increases your risk of homicide by nearly -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 9:25PM

And having a pool increases your risk of drowning ... Yes I stole that from -- CharlestonSC 03/26/2018 9:53PM

Of course he's right. But it goes to the point of the pro gun -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 10:15PM

I 100% get that. -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:41PM

You can think that all you want, but the statistics prove -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 9:46PM

3 in 5 gun owners receive training. -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 9:55PM

I don't think that is an opinion per se -- Tafkam Hokie 03/26/2018 10:15PM

I don't think gun training reduces suicides or domestic violence -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 10:06PM

These people need therapy, not gun training. Let’s also not forget the -- WahooRQ 03/27/2018 08:36AM

Well, i guess i can't argue against that. -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 10:11PM

How do you know if a shotgun is better? That is situational. ** -- Hokieesith 03/26/2018 8:59PM

Fine, carry both. Walk around your house with a revolver in a holster -- BocaHoo91 03/26/2018 9:07PM

Why would I do that? I don't do that now. That sounds like more -- Hokieesith 03/26/2018 9:11PM

What deficiencies? I don't even have my M4 in my house. -- Hokieesith 03/26/2018 8:46PM

But let's ignore Bullying and Mental Illness. ** -- ConnHoo 03/26/2018 6:52PM

Who suggests ignoring bullying and mental illness? ** -- hoolstoptheheels 03/26/2018 7:32PM

Most of the liberals in the thread below. ** -- psychobilly 03/26/2018 8:02PM
