Just quoting extensively from a piece by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock…

Only eight bullets? Gotta have a constitutionally protected hight-capacity magazine if you want to be someone in this world…

If he worked for FOX they’d replace him with Ted Nugent.

Must be a .45, with a 9 mm he’d have 12.

Costas should never have made those comments.

Comments like those or ANY debate about gun control will inevitably lead to confiscation of all guns.

If It Were Up To Me
Maybe it’s the movies, maybe it’s the books
Maybe it’s the bullets, maybe it’s the real crooks
Maybe it’s the drugs, maybe it’s the parents
Maybe it’s the colors everybody’s wearin
Maybe it’s the President, maybe it’s the last one
Maybe it’s the one before that, what he done
Maybe it’s the high schools, maybe it’s the teachers
Maybe it’s the tattooed children in the bleachers
Maybe it’s the Bible, maybe it’s the lack
Maybe it’s the music, maybe it’s the crack
Maybe it’s the hairdos, maybe it’s the TV
Maybe it’s the cigarettes, maybe it’s the family
Maybe it’s the fast food, maybe it’s the news
Maybe it’s divorce, maybe it’s abuse
Maybe it’s the lawyers, maybe it’s the prisons
Maybe it’s the Senators, maybe it’s the system
Maybe it’s the fathers, maybe it’s the sons
Maybe it’s the sisters, maybe it’s the moms
Maybe it’s the radio, maybe it’s road rage
Maybe El Nino, or UV rays
Maybe it’s the army, maybe it’s the liquor
Maybe it’s the papers, maybe the militia
Maybe it’s the athletes, maybe it’s the ads
Maybe it’s the sports fans, maybe it’s a fad
Maybe it’s the magazines, maybe it’s the internet
Maybe it’s the lottery, maybe it’s the immigrants
Maybe it’s taxes, big business
Maybe it’s the KKK and the skinheads
Maybe it’s the communists, maybe it’s the Catholics
Maybe it’s the hippies, maybe it’s the addicts
Maybe it’s the art, maybe it’s the sex
Maybe it’s the homeless, maybe it’s the banks
Maybe it’s the clearcut, maybe it’s the ozone
Maybe it’s the chemicals, maybe it’s the car phones
Maybe it’s the fertilizer, maybe it’s the nose rings
Maybe it’s the end, but I know one thing.
If it were up to me, I’d take away the guns.

Thank you.

I commented more fully somewhere else you posted that.

It is the ease with which guns, with high capacity magazines, are available. Regulation DOES need to improve, for both regulating those buying, and the types of firearms they can acquire.

There was a proposal to put an identifying trace in the powder but NRA lobbied it down.
Same also with a proposal to put a number in the fire pin so that cartridges could be traced to the weapon.

The ease of obtaining guns? Talk to this scumbags dead mother. Oh right, you can’t. Ask Adam Lanza about the 41 gun laws he broke to be able to shoot 26 people. When do you realize the stupidity of more gun control?

That was then, this is now!

The NRA can go down just like Grover Norquist! It can be a losing stain to have the NRA backing you! The majority of people will agree with this after this particular tragedy. This is the one that is TOO FAR!

Don’t give up! Don’t let them stop you! We are here; we are the most!

“short round 10 mm”: He blew away his mom and the kids and teachers, with his momma’s guns! It is typical of the actual statistics on guns in the home for “self defense”, the guns usually kill their owners.
That is why, as a gun owner, with concealed carry permit, I support stronger regulations on gun ownership, registration, and control. Actually, while the government couldn’t maintain, or share information from my gun purchase, Smith and Wesson sold the information to the NRA, who contacted me to join! I don’t fear the government, but I’m very distrustful of those in right-wing nut groups who do.

Dianne Feinstein’s bill is the right idea, but the wrong solution. There is no point in outlawing guns. They are out there, there are millions, they are made of metal and will last for a thousand years if they are kept oiled. Failing that, I could find materials in my basement that would produce a workable gun, and it doesn’t take much knowledge of the subject to figure out how to do it.
Bullets, on the other hand, are time consuming to make and require specific equipment. Production of enough to do serious damage would require planning and patience that are not characteristic of those who shoot up elementary schools. And, working on such a project might attract the attention of someone sane.
Bullets can be individually stamped, and their sale can be registered, so that every bullet can be traced back to the person who purchased it. This way, a guy who wants to buy a couple boxes of bullets to go shoot deer, or the woman who wants a box to keep with the gun in her bedside drawer, won’t set off any warning bells. But the guy who is buying an arsenal will attract attention before he finds a more lethal way to do it.

Still ignorant of the cartridge. How will you react if your guns are threatened? Will you go quietly or fight to keep yours because you need them? You trust the government? Wow.
