Well, apparently a sufficient number of people for them to carry them and be profitable.

But not an sufficient number for them to worry about what they just did out of respect for the children who were senselessly murdered.


I guess some people care more about their guns than they do about those children.

A useless show with zero substance. Its nothing but a cynical ploy to exploit a currently popular public sentiment. Those children died because a nut killed them. We will not give up permanent freedoms for temporary securities.

Maybe so. It is what it is. If you agree with it, then show your support and shop there.

If you don't agree with it, then take your business elsewhere.

The all mighty dollar will win the day.

Do people hunt with semi-automatic weapons? I just wonder why the average Joe Sixpack needs a semi-autmatic? I mean a rifle is good enough to hunt with...and you can defend your home with a revolver right?

I believe in the right to bear arms...I am just not sure about semi-automatics. What is the point of owning a semi-autmatic weapon?

I'm leaning this way as well. More power to those that want a pistol/shotgun, but semiautomatic weapons just don't make sense, at least to me. And yes, I'm probably leaning this way since I have two young kids under 7 years old.

That pistol is probably a semiautomatic too... unless it's a single shot derringer, it loads the next round into firing position. That's all semiautomatic means.

I hunt with a semi-automatic rifle. If I miss on a shot, I want another round in the chamber so I have a second shot, rather than having to slide the bolt to load another round. Even if I do make the shot, another round is ready to go if another deer shows up.

I am sick of school shootings too. I'm also sick of people dying in automobile accidents, but I'm not calling on cars to be banned.

We have a rifle that's a bolt action. If I had to defend myself against an attacker at close range I would have one shot. After that I'd have to beat the guy with the damn gun because he would be on top of me before I could chamber another round.

Dicks is way overpriced on everything they sell anyway

But we severely regulate the sale of alcohol. Would you be for similar limits on guns?

I think it's funny the left wants to ban guns that "look menacing". As many on here have said there are plenty of semi automatic rifles used for hunting that are a higher caliber than the. 223. I carry a Glock nearly everywhere I go and it's semiautomatic. I can buy dozens of magazines and have hundreds of rounds at my disposal. So what's the point of banning the incorrectly named "assault rifles"? I can more understand banning super high capacity drums for Semiautomatic rifles but a magazine holding 20 or 30 rounds is less than I carry. My glock came with 3 15 round magazines.

No. There is already enough legal red tape and hoops to jump through to purchase and possess a weapon already. Lanza did not kill anyone with a weapon he obtained legally.

In fact when he tried to go buy a gun three days before the shootings, he was declined.

Red tape to buy a gun? I bought my glock on the spur of the moment at a gun show with almost no paperwork. I remember thinks, "Man, I'm glad I'm not crazy."

The weapons I buy are custom spec'ed. I have to buy from a Dealer with a FFL. Most of the people at gun shows in the privater sale section dont have a FFL.

Lots of people at gun shows are selling their personal firearms and don't need a license or to ask you for a permit. I bought a pistol from a dealer at a gun show and needed to show a permit. I don't like the idea of needing a permit to sell my private property.

"Semi-automatic" has now become -- probably for years to come -- one of those terms that a lot of uninformed people will use as a synonym for "big scary gun that normal people don't need or want", yet very few of them will actually have any idea what it really means, despite the willingness of people like SouthGaEagle to provide the definition.

Maybe Piers Morgan and the rest of the media will help to clarify that point.

Just sayin'. That's but one story of many where a person was shot with a weapon "thought" to be unloaded.
