Pennsylvania has a very pro-gun set of gun laws: “shall issue” right to carry, state pre-emption, no registration, no firearms owner ID card, no assault weapons or magazine capacity restrictions…it is just about the same as Texas. Rendell talks the talk but PA’s gun owners and their representatives in the state house have cut him off at the knees; no walking the walk for Mr. Ed.

FYI, he used an AR-15, which is a lightweight, 5.56 mm, magazine-fed, semi-automatic rifle — a military-style assault rifle, capable of firing 50-60 rounds a minute. After it jammed, he switched to his 12-gauge shotgun.

Guns walked because they couldn’t prosecute those selling the guns due to lax gun laws in Arizona. Unless you’re saying that you know more than the actual ATF agents who worked the case.

Really? The room was clouded with tear gas, the person you speak of eyes probably would have been all teared up and he probably would have shot innocent people in the darkened room.

Let go of your gun fantasy. Its not your dick.

You read the Fast and furious story. It was GOP prosecutors that would not prosecute the people the FBI was stopping.

People can buy assault rifles. The NRA has seen to it. Please show us your stats for the drop in crime due to gun ownership

Boy I can see this way left of where I usualy do my reading.
There is no trying to change what the previous to posters remarked to, you believe what you believe. So I’m not going to try convince you otherwise.
However, I’m going to make what I feel is a small point.
If there had been just one movie goer that night, that had attended a conceal carry permit and was carrying a conceald weapon, the outcome may have been much different. Had the one that did the shooting that night, known in the back of his mind that there was a great possiblity that someone or mutliple persos, would be shooting back at him risking his life, would have changed his mind? I don’t know. But what I believe is that it is my right as it others to protect myself from derranged persons that feel shooting inconcent and helpless people is fun or the right thing to do in their mind, is my right.
There is NO easy answer. Bashing the NRA certainly isn’t going to solve anything either. Someone’s always finger pointing…. solves nothing.
There are facts that support where gun ownership has increased in homes, and the entire community understands that a person has right to protect themselves from an inturder, crime rates DROP. Why?? Because it’s not worth getting shot for trying to steal from someones house. Do yourself a favor and check out how things turned out in Great Brittian after they collected all guns. It’s not a nice picture.
And please, do some more research before you go blasting off remarks about who to screw. We mostly only know what “they’ want us to beleive. IT’s never what you really think it is. I suppose you trust government more than the NRA? Question, why would you trust either one more than the other?

PS There is a huge difference between an assult rifle / automatic weapon, versus what an ordinary citizen can buy a permit for the right to purchase.
Please read the real story on the “Fast and Furious” gun transaction that ATF was involved with. EVen those from the inside knew it was wrong.

Regards,

j.t.

I really dont have much to say other than the blood of all the victims in Colorado, and also the Border control agent is on the filthy hands of the NRA. It would be one thing if there wasnt assault weapons present but you see in both cases they were present and there were the first weapon of choice….. Shame on Congress for continuing to bow its knee for BIG MONEY FROM BIG BUSINESS.. I WONDER IF CHARLSTON HESTON WAS PACKING WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO GOD IN THE MOVIE MOSES……. PITTIFUL…..GUN TOTTERS……VOTE TO TAKE CONGRESS BACK,,, IF THEY ARE DIRTY POLITITIANS, SEND THEM HOME, WE NEED PEOPLE WITH INTEGRITY, WHO CANT BE BOUGHT. LONG LIVE THE LIBRAL MOVEMENT… OBAMA FOR 2012……IF ROMNEY WINS ILL TAKE THE PLACE OF ALL THOSE WHO MOVED TO CANADA FOUR YEARS AGO…I GUESS THEY WILL BE COMING BACK……LOL
