  "...He did not have details of the firearm used in the attack except that it was an assault-style rifle, “an AK or SKS....”
  
  so... it likely wasn't a legal weapon...
  
  and the second one doesn't mention the firearm in question at all.
  
  So, sure, you can hate the right to own guns... but... The NRA seems to be completely clear of any wrong doing.

  U can own an AK in the U.S. U just can't have it assembled with any of the stuff that would make it useful should anarchy arise or the need to throw off a corrupt, hegemonic government that seeks to overstep it's authority and ignore its original mandate and founding principles as set down in, say, a Constitution or something in that order. But you can have one.

  Actually, you can legally own an AK. The rifle has to be semi-auto, not full auto. Same applies to the SK.

  And pretty much any other fire arm. In just about all cases as long as the weapon has the "fully auto" function disabled it is legal to be owned and used.

  Oh sure, it's the because of guns all those people were killed. Nothing to do with race at all! He called his victims racists even though he never filed a complaint. He was caught on surveillance camera stealing beer and that was the reason he was being fired. Any reasonable person would have been thankful that they weren't going to be arrested, but no, this man called his victims racist and killed them. I wonder where he got that idea? Could it have come from the left accusing everyone that oppose them racist? Or Obama implying racism was at fault in the action of the Cambridge police arrest of professor gates?
  Maybe, just maybe it's not the fault of guns but of the hate stirred up by the left against their opposition.

Same thing would happen if guns were banned. Because like drugs, you can still buy them if they are illegal.

So the only thing different in these two stories would be "shooter had an illegal gun, no idea how he got it".

The NRA is not responsible for these murders. The perpetrators who pulled the triggers are responsible.

Inferring that the NRA is responsible for gun-related crimes is like saying that the National Beer Wholesalers Association is responsible for all the instances of vehicular manslaughter that are caused by drivers abusing alcohol.

Both inferences are pretty illogical, right? In case you're not sure, the answer is - yes, they are!

What happened to personal responsibility for committing crimes? Let's blame the evil lobbys and let the real criminals walk. While they're out roaming the streets, I'll proudly renew my NRA membership and keep my handgun loaded in the drawer next to my bedside table.

The more fanatical among you have succeeded in infusing a gun-welding reality on American society that is supported by an archaic Constitutional provision which has lost all meaning in today’s modern world.

The right to bare arms may have made sense 200 years ago, but for such a provision to make any sense in today’s world, then you best amend the Constitution to allow citizens to arm themselves with every single advanced military weapon needed (not just guns) to defeat a tyrannical government bent on taking away your rights.

Keep this fascination with guns and shooting yourselves, and one day when you have destroyed each other,we Canadians together with our Mexican brothers will build upon your land a peaceful taco-loving, hockey-playing society that will be the envy of the world!

  Am I "fanatical" because I believe differently than you on this? And is the whole Constitution "archaic" or only the parts you don't agree with? You still good with freedom of speech and assembly and stuff, or shall we toss that off too since it's kind of old?
  
  Your point about allowing advanced weapons is on target, just leading you to the wrong conclusion, in my opinion: we do need to be allowed to have modern weaponry to keep in the spirit of the rule (which we should keep; it was a wise and intelligently made decision to include that, and one based on reality not Utopian dreams).
  
  We don't need helicopter gunships and F21s (the colonists didn't get to have Frigates and Brigantines either)but we do need rifles in keeping with the times. If you have a look at Iraq and Afghanistan you will see that despite all our helicopters and planes and tanks etc., we've had a hell of a time throwing off resistance over the course of nearly ten years and we have a massive percentage of their populace trying to help us (or at the very least not working against us). All the resistance has are rifles and homemade bombs.
  
  Furthermore, our military didn't have the same reservations about collateral damage over there that they would here because, while they tried to avoid civilian casualties there, if it happened, well, it wasn't THEIR mom or sister, it was people in a foreign country. That is a huge emotional difference in the motivation and morale of the troops. Nobody is going to kill their neighbors and countrymen for long. Not the boots on the ground soldier types. That's the kind of decision only power mongers make.
  
  My point is not to say our guys are mean, but I assure you, U.S. military, 25-year-old young people, are going to have a much harder time dropping bombs on a neighborhood in Houston or Detroit or Seattle than they are some Taliban nest in Kandahar. So, a U.S. populace that wanted to throw off failed and corrupt government (us throwing off a corrupt government if it came to that--exactly the reason for the ammendment) we could do so more easily than the Afghans can throw out a foreign force (us invading them.. and only a small portion of them are fighting us and giving us grief - think what a whole outraged domestic populace could do). Afghanistan did it to the Soviets too (although nobody wanted them there, so it was easier).
  It's not a fascination, its a recognition that power tends to accumulate over time and overstep its mandate. It always has in every single human regime/dynasty/empire whatever you want to call it, always. Every, single time. WIthout fail. Always. The framers of the Constitution knew it and they took steps to make OURS one that could fix itself. Calling it an "archaic document" to me says that you completely and totally miss the genius of it.

This is such a tired old liberal mantra,

The NRA makes everyone shoot people, except of course criminals that we can excuse because of their poor upbringing and illegal aliens because they really didn’t want to run drugs or kidnap and murder people. They just wanted to cut grass and pick vegetables because Americans won’t do it, but they are forcing them out, so they have to do something to earn all that contribution money for Liberal political campaigns.

Give it a break, its old, it’s tired, and oh by the way, it doesn’t work! It never did.

Haven’t you all learned yet that each time you try this old crap, Gun Ownership rights and the support for them gets stronger?

And for the naïve, there will be oceanfront property for sale very soon in Arizona.

"We do need to be allowed to have modern weaponry"

Well, that might be suicidal, but at least you are right that it is in the spirit of the law. As for the inability for American soldiers to kill American citizens.. there have been a lot of civil wars that have been kinda violent(including your own).

"Calling it an "archaic document" to me says that you completely and totally miss the genius of it."

Come now, I never called the Constitution an archaic document.. I called the provision allowing for the right to bare arms archaic. You are right though, the Founding Fathers of your country created a document that would allow Americans to change laws over time. The right to bare arms should be one of those laws.

  The intent of that provision was to allow Americans to overthrow a tyrannical government or military bent on destroying their freedoms. It was written in light of the military and political situation 200 years ago.
  
  If you want that intent to be applicable in today's modern world, you better legalize a whole bunch of more powerful military weaponry and basically turn the country into an arsenal.
  
  Otherwise, all you are doing is put rapid fire killing machines in the hands of criminals and lunatics.. which was not the intent of the framers of the Constitution.

  Black market. A lot of the military grade ones come through Mexico, and there's a decent supply of stolen stuff too (which I'm sure you will point out are stolen only because they are available in households to begin--to which I will say, yes, and it is the existence of people breaking into house that proves the validity of having a gun at the ready to prune down those types of folks from society, etc.)
  
  However, having been down this argument's road many times in the past, like arguments over abortion, God, gay marriage and everything else, people have opinions on this sort of thing that are entrenched and unmoving. So, I will just say, I understand your position completely, even acknowledge that it has a certain type of logic. I just believe differently and that your side of the argument gives up far more than it gains. I doubt you and I will ever agree on this one, so there's no point going on about it.

Many Northerners don't understand the "gun culture" of the South. Many of us spend a lot of time outdoors, in the woods, fields, and swamps. We have four venomous snake species in Georgia, and believe me - if you run into one you'll want a gun. It's a lot easier to kill a big angry snake with a gun than it is a stick.

We also have a lot of hunters here. Of course, deer can be killed with a bow, but throwing rocks at quail and doves would prove futile. Heck, it's hard enough for some people to hit a dove with a shotgun!

Many of us, myself included, enjoy skeet shooting, along with target shooting. Ironically, although most of us own firearms, we don't seem to use them as much on each other as those in large cities do.
