This might be a rather limited situation by most accounts, but my problem with the a rule regarding no semi-auto pistols is a guy I know who was hunting in northern MN. He has a few stories regarding how he shot a deer and now wolves are keying in on his and others' locations. He had to shoot one that was trying to jump up to him while he was in his tree stand, using his sidearm. It took three shots at close range because he was scared.

Someone who is more familiar with modifications can help me out here (bump stocks I know about, and they should be banned), how about no performance mods whatsoever? You can only use the gun as it is bought.

Yeah and you could hypothetically provide figures to support your argument but you never do for some reason.

1. In one post, I made it a point to say it was my opinion.
2. In the other post, the point was I could have a team of scientists/professionals/whoever, and Scooby would take an opposing stance/dismiss what I said, because it's not what he thinks.

Number 2 is just flat out false. I believe in science. You have no science to back up what you claim.

Fact is until gun owners start speaking out we will get nowhere. And they're not speaking out. They like the fact that they can get blown away with an AR-15 in public while they feel so safe with the cute little 9mm. They feel safe with that gun on their hip.

How many people a year die from being shot with an ar-15? I thought you believed in science and facts?

How many kids in elementary school go through active shooter drills?

See, the fact is that is the important fact here.

So gun owners are insane for carrying guns in case they get mugged, robbed, raped, whatever, but schools are perfectly rational for preparing for something that is even rarer? That makes a lot of sense. The active shooter drills in schools shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

Should we cancel fire drills too?

There are approximately 5,000 school fires each year and very few school shootings so you do the math. https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Data-research-and-tools/Building-and-Life-Safety/Structure-fires-in-educational-properties

Fine, don't believe me. Even if I presented a full demonstration of facts and data, and polls of people, I doubt you'd believe me anyway.

Since when have you ever done that? All you offer is your opinion as a "centrist". And opinions are just that, an opinion.

An estimated 4,000 school building fires were reported by United States fire departments each year and caused an estimated 75 injuries and $66.1 million in property loss. Fatalities resulting from school building fires were rare.

More dead from gunshots in Florida shooting by itself.

You just got owned. Care to try again?

And the other side hasn’t changed? The NRA deserves some blame, but Bloomberg and the other anti-gunners are just as much if not more radical. Myself and other gun owners would like to see some things changed, the problem is that once that happens Bloomberg and co will be pushing for more extreme measures until guns are effectively banned. Like a lot of other issues there are too many extremists and the country suffers.

No they won't. And since when does Bloomberg control what you do?
