So was slavery.

Time to let it go.

Not in New England.

But you can't really carry around a box of belted ammo with an assault rifle. Isn't that the difference? I thought machine guns are continuous belt-feed.

I guess if you're looking at it from a magazine vs. belt standpoint, sure. I was refering to the operation of the firearm itself, regardless of if it is a magazine or a belt, the gun functions the same.

You suddenly a big believer in the FBI and police, now?

FBI was using their hostage recovery team. Both happened to actually be there. I'd say it's pretty concrete.

Read on Kos:

I heard a grim comment this morning on NPR. The reporter mentioned that “new record shooting every 18 months or so” as part of a larger comment and it struck me.. we’re looking at Moore’s Law of Mass Murder.

Guess I have to turn in my gallows humor badge. There's a new sheriff in town.

What?
And re silencers- if any of my current neighbors shoot a Gun I'm calling 911. If you can shoot a gun on your property, your nearest neighbors may not even be able to hear. That's how it should be.

You'd have to start with no sales of new ones. I don't think a buyback would be feasible in the US, for many reasons.

They tried a "buyback" in North Carolina, I think it was. They got a grand total of one.

magazine, not clip. The gun nuts will have a fit if you call it a clip.

Some time ago, Sicatoka claimed there should be a test that determines if you should be allowed to talk about gun issues. Magazine vs clip was one of the questions he claimed should be on it.

That makes sense in a city/suburb/town/etc. But out in the country, you can hear a gunshot from miles away. If you apply that reasoning, you're pretty much eliminating hunting in very rural areas.

Very neighborly of you. Why wouldn't you go over and just ask them to stop if its bothering you? Most gun owners I know would respect that and stop.

Probably means nothing, but interesting tidbit from WaPo article:

Their father was once on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. He was a fugitive bank robber and rarely around for either son. “I was born on the run,” said Eric Paddock.

First off, many of that type are going to live in a city, probably an apartment or a condo/house governed by a HOA. And on the off chance they're rural, do you think they're even going to be OK with hunting?

I'm in a suburb, but I live a mile or two from a reserve base. We hear gunshots all the time, and in a pattern that signifies target practice, sometimes early in the morning. My castle hasn't been affected physically, so carry on.

A large majority of people that want gun control are not against hunting. There are some that are, but I get the impression that the number of people in that group is quite small.

"Information"...no.
Infowars is propaganda.

Stories that the guy apparently dropped some big coin at the casinos in the past. Five figure sums.

Considering they have these ranges in Texas, I'd say it's state by state.

So, I've been to the one in LV (Battlefield Las Vegas) about 2 years ago. Phenomenal place, really. Just about any weapon you could want to shoot, they had it. But it's ran by all former military, and as bbdl alluded to, things are extremely tightly controlled. I never felt unsafe, regardless of who was around me. The range officers were literally an arms reach away at all times.

Got to shoot an AK-47, Uzi, Barrett .50 sniper, and essentially the M4. They had probably >100 different weapons.
