NRA statement is live now

What don't your understand about "shall not be infringed?". How about you stay open minded and let me introduce you to some of these evil weapons?

I just think they were referring to the rifles they had at the time and not the prospect of "weapons of mass destruction", to borrow a popular term (albeit stretched in this context).

Well I consider children going to school in the US (should be carefree) to be a very different scenario from people working in an embassy in Pakistan or Libya.

I think US children are more likely to die in a car accident on the way to/from school, than in a school shooting. Maybe some of our automotive freedoms should be taken away instead?

I'm not sure I get the comparison of a mass shooting to a car "accident". There are already controls like speed limits, seatbelt/car seat use, vehicle safety standards etc....but no requirement for moving bodyguard armored trucks to protect from oncoming traffic.

I believe at least 20 children were knifed the same day as the Newtown tragedy and all survived (probably back home by now).

Imagine how many would have been knifed if the principal had a gun.

Well while he was trying to injure the principal someone else could have also taken him down because the principal may not have gone down on the first "hit" with a knife. I think he took out 2 adults pretty much at once (principal and school psychologist?).

Yeah I know it was 2 women....the % of men in school roles have decreased in recent years.

Uh, who the fuck doesn't carry with one in the chamber for starters. Two, move off the axis. Don't fucking stand still. Three, outlaw knifes, they kill people with guns.

I'm just saying...there was a "mass attack" with a knife the same day as the Newtown tragedy and all victims in that attack survived. I'm sure the parents/families of the Newtown victims would have preferred to have their loved ones home with them for Christmas notwithstanding recovering from the mental/physical trauma of surviving a knife attack. I also understand that an attack with a knife is psychologically more difficult that a gun attack due to the very "personal" nature of a stabbing (ie. proximity needed, looking someone in the eye while the stabbing is committed versus the more detached psychological aspect of shooting someone). Obviously in this particular case some of the victims were shot at close range while others not so close (which was more common with Aurora, Columbine, Virgina Tech, etc). At least the potential massacre in AZ was thwarted in the past couple days.
