it is the right to bear arms!!!!!!!!  It is not a relative position, not some arms but all arms.  YOU HAVE TO BE AS ARMED AS THE CRIMINAL.  IT IS A NICE DAY FOR MY AK........Don't buy into a dilution of your rights......if you do....pretty soon......mums the word.....the term will be silenced, along with millions of others....free speech and right to bear arms......Live free or die.....Tom

Richs100:
Thanks for taking the time, Term.

This is an issue I have wondered about everytime I hear a news anchor talk about that kid in a trenchcoat who just killed a bunch of people with an "assault rifle".  How come nobody calls them on this?  

As a sidenote, I do, however, take issue with your use of the term "leftist" mainstream media.  I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the corporate media lords could give two shakes as to whether its "left", "right" or sideways.  These corporate devils look to advertising dollars, media share and nothing more.  

O'Reilly may be on the "Right" and Obermann on the "Left", but if the ratings for either of them should drop, they would be out the door with a drop-kick.  
(This, I believe, also explains the existence of Nancy Grace.)

My son works in an outdoors sporting goods store (hunting, fishing, trapping, etc).  He tells us about people who come in to buy a gun/rifle but don't 'pass' the state/government ownership requirements.  One person told him, ' I'll just have my brother/cousin, some relative, pick it up for me'.  Fortunately, it is a fairly known group of regular customers so the staff knows not to sell the particular weapon to his brother/cousin.  Not that the guy is a potential 'problem' but he didn't qualify to own a weapon.

Imagine this being in a large city and the same situation happened?  The store employees wouldn't know brother Billie Bob from Adam and would sell the gun.  Like it was said, the government has laws to restrict ownership but even 'safe' people will go around the corner to get a gun, imagine the extremes a 'deviate' will go through to get one?

Here in Florida the licensing is fairly strict......submit to questions and return in three days to find out of you qualified.  If a person can legally buy a gun then so be it.  Florida is a conceal carry and a shoot first state......mmmmmmm...crime is dropping......the dilution of your rights is the issue, speech, assembly, religion, to bear arms........these are why USA is a great country.......live free or die.......that is three instances in 7 days that the murderer carried an AK........the right is to bear arms....not particular arms.......not up to but excluding the following....the constitution is absolute or the country will crumble......this isn't france.

Brewman:
No amount of laws will prevent criminals from getting the tools of their trade.  Just like prohibition was a collosal failure, so has been the war on drugs, and gun control.
Demands are supplied when there is enough demand.  It's not the gun, it's the person.  And an assault rifle isn't any more deadly or menacing than any other firearm.  But most people don't have a clue as to what an assault rifle really is, they just glom on to the media hysterics.  Our local media couldn't describe an assault rifle in any meaningful way, but they sure love to toss the word around.  
 
Maybe when people have had enough of being victimized by criminals and psychopaths, and start defending against them, the behavior will change.  

As for this particular instance, in my earlier posts I didn't mean to imply that this one person was necessairly a victim of the public schools, etc....  I was trying to say that there seems to be a whole generation of people coming of age that can't tolerate being told no, or who can deal with their problems without having to commit murder.

I suppose we'll find out someone was picking on him.......  



PS

A very close friend of mine was murdered about 3 months ago.  He was riding his bicycle when a couple of gang bangers who'd just been released from prison decided to rob him.  They beat him to a pulp with a baseball bat.  
So now I suppose we need to control the sale of baseball bats, becasue they kill.
