Gun control: Sight alignment and trigger squeeze.

@HarleyquinnDon’t ride a dead horse. Gun control has nothing to to with forbiddung all guns. I think even the most “left” liberals don’t want that.You say self defense – nobody with more Brain as a Talitubby defend himself with an assault gun in his house against “bad guys”. You have a wide sread of pistols and revolvers for that.Weapons that are only build for man-hunting shouldn’t be available for civilians.

^well we can agree on one thing. but why do you think he’s a ‘lib’?

@ScottPM..and there a rep has it wrong. The 2nd was never written against the goverment → it was written that people are able to PROTECT the goverment against forces who want to overthrow it.@narrowmindedYou are jumping to short. I can’t remember that a car – doesn’t matter how fast it is – was build for killing masses of people in short time.And to put it in your words: A race car should be driven by a racedriver on a racetrack. And not by a novice on the main street.

NEWS FLASH: 98,816 elementary schools in the United States did NOT have a mass murder on Friday!In a related story 55 million legal gun owners in the US did NOT commit a mass murder on Friday. And it appears that all non-registered and illegal gun owners but one ALSO did not commit a mass murder on Friday.

All this hysteria about guns is fanned by members of Congress who continue to resist any effective treatment programs for the mentally ill, preferring to just dump them into society and then take the resulting tragedies as a chance to look moral and upright.

Fact: over 90% of all fatal auto accidents occur UNDER 35 mph!! “Speed kills” is an overstated misunderstanding of fact, it is the sudden stop that kills.

Which a 180 pound man, exiting a vehicle, or hitting a solid object inside the vehicle without a seat belt (or newer air bag system) from a speed of 35 mph, receives the same impact energy as being shot with a 30-06 rifle bullet!

Hunting deer, elk, pigeons in the park, ducks, geese, or defending oneself from an assault, does NOT require an automatic, or semi-automatic weapon with over 30 rounds in the magazine, or even more than 5 to 12 rounds maximum, in a rifle or handgun. So called “assault rifles” are NOT needed for any civilian purpose, period.

Those claiming same are “necessary” or protected by the Second Amendment, would also give grandma a Formula One, Indy car, or NASCAR “stock car” capable of 200 plus miles per hour, to get eggs at the supermarket, or maybe her “Depends”.

We need rational regulations, not more “pro-gun” rhetoric and false fears placing more in our nation in danger every time some “drunk driver” gets hands on an over-powered and unnecessary piece of “hardware”.

How about we make killing kids (outside the womb) illegal?

…waitaminit it ALREADY IS illegal? Go figure.

It sounds like “we are liberals, we are right, and we will use the police and military that we own to force you to agree with our wishes.” OR ELSE.
