Close gun show loopholes. Enact nationwide waiting periods. Enact nationwide background checks. Enact nationwide semi-automatic weapons bans. Gun control that would have prevented the Colorado shooting.

Legally or illegally?

Your argument is calling for more gun control. Making it more difficult to purchase legally.
So have you ever tried to buy a gun LEGALLY? I've bought one illegally once when I lived on the streets in LA. Not difficult at all.
Point being, criminals don't follow gun laws

Point being, if it had been more difficult to buy that weapon when he did in Colorado the shooting could have been averted. Because the shooter purchased the gun legally. No I have not tried to purchase a gun legally. Never needed to.

You are grasping at straws. You didn't even put in your yada, yada, yada, this time because it has all been shot down.

You don't need one. So you want to be the arbiter of who needs one and what hoops they need to jump through.

Some people do need them. Some people just want them. Their money, they decide what they buy.

Not grasping at straws. Not parroting anyone. Barrel shrouds are handguards.

There are restrictions on what types of cars are street legal. Because it makes sense. There should be restrictions on what guns are legal for civilians to own. Because it makes sense.

The top one looks like an M14 BATTLE rifle, but could be a civillian version M1A.

The one on the bottom looks like a Ruger mini 14 with an aftermarket bull pup stock.

I loves me some battle rifles. I am not an AR/AK guy, but I will defend the right of citizens to own them.

You're right, the top is an m1 carbine with an aftermarket stock, lower is a 10-22 bullpup

I doubt he bought it legally. It's also a lot more difficult to buy one legally than illegally. However, I don't believe it could've been averted. Take Chicago for example. Shootings there all the time with the strictest gun laws. Or is it "assault weapons" you have an issue with?

From what I have seen he did buy it legally 6 days prior to the shooting.

So answer his question. Either lawfully or unlawfully, have you ever purchased a firearm?

Close gun show loopholes. What loopholes?
Enact nationwide waiting periods. Already in place.
Enact nationwide background checks. Already in place.
Enact nationwide semi-automatic weapons bans. F**k right off!
Gun control that would have prevented the Colorado shooting. You're living in la la land.

Your graphic isn't relevant to the issue at hand.
The "AUTHORITIES" already had this jackass jihadi on their radar and they let him buy the gun.
Don't punish legal and law abiding gun owners for the crimes and malfeasance of others.

"Enact nationwide semi-automatic weapons bans"

THAT IS PUNISHING LEGAL, LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS
And it wouldn't stop criminals from getting guns and killing people.

The country has an “evil” problem, not a gun problem which is compounded by excess of reporting on the events and not enough reporting on the consequences, i.e. convictions and sentencing. A lot of these crimes are copycat.

Yada, yada, yada, rinse, repeat.

He bought the gun legally with a background check.

Do you have any proof that he bought it at a gun show.

Can you say that a waiting period would have done anything beside delayed the carnage?

5 to 6 million AR style rifles are already owned by civilians, not to mention untold millions of other semi-auto rifles and pistols.

There should have been a ban on the sale of modifications / weapons like the one he used. It would have prevented the high number of casualties.

The number of modified / weapons already owned is not relevant to a ban on new sales.

A waiting period could have helped. We'll never know.

Mods that give a stock weapon a high kill rate need to be included in a new sale ban; just adding specifics.

Detachable magazines, barrel shrouds....
[deleted]
1 up, 4y
Most every semi-auto pistol and rifle has a detachable magazine.

What is a barrel shroud? Rifles have handguards around the barrel to keep you from burning your hands.

Rifles with wood stocks have wood hand guards. Rifles with composite stocks have composite hand guards.

When I was in the Army, the military shotguns were equipped with a barrel shroud above the barrel, but the same model civilian ones do not have them.

You are just parroting gun grabber talking points and I don't think you even realize it.

Throwing .... at the wall and nothing is sticking.

DGU Defensive Gun Usage

It takes some time for them to come to light. Usually not carried by the main stream media. Many are never reported.

I never reported my 2 because I did not have to draw and fire, but the presence of my firearm stopped the escalation in it's tracks.

Relevant to the issue.

You need to propose viable suggestions as to how to stop criminals from committing crimes without infringing on citizens rights.

Close gun show loopholes. Enact nationwide waiting periods. Enact nationwide background checks. Enact nationwide semi-automatic weapons bans.

None of these completely prevent gun ownership; no rights are infringed upon. And I stop mass murders like the one committed in Colorado with these protections.

Whether your guns moved or didn't move is not relevant.

You say the graphic contains no facts, which is not relevant to whether your guns moved or not.
