[QUOTE="Boozegood:1339972"][QUOTE="ShadowSD:1339970"]All I'm trying to say is I didn't see anyone here a week or month ago raising a stink about how automatic weapons are illegal, so why be scared now about having semi-automatic guns be illegal when they long had been anyway? After all, semi-automatics are the only type of gun even being *talked* about as far as any gun control legislation; no one's talking about taking all guns away or changing the second amendment or anything awful like that. That will never happen, nor should it. The death toll from mass shootings over the last few years compared to before has spiked, and as a result of large magazines. You have a chance to run from a pistol at least, those kids on Friday had no chance. As far as the idea of me being scared, I was actually the one insisting to my wife my daughter go back to school on Monday, and that's what happened. To my wife (and most people really) the world seems more dangerous after something like this. The fact is it is no more so; it only revealed that their perceived sense of 100% security was always a fallacy. If anything the law of averages suggests the next school shooting will not be in CT again, so my daughter is actually safer now than before. That's how I react to this kind of stuff; I'm not scared by tragedies or even surprised by them in the least bit, not 9/11 (PaganMegan if she's lurking can vouch for how completely unshocked I was), and not any of the mass shootings, including this one. Tragedies happen. Guns exist. Killer exist. But, even though I wasn't surprised or scared by it, this one still hurts a lot in a way no other has. If all it takes is going back to treating semi-automatics like automatics to prevent that high of a kill rate per minute, I'd be a shitty parent not to advocate for it. I also don't think you guys are getting the same constant local news broadcasts of several funeral every day, and people in the town tearfully begging for reinstatement of reasonable restrictions against rapid fire weapons.[/QUOTE] You are just repeating all of the points that make it glaringly obvious that you don't know what you are talking about. If you aren't going to learn anything about guns than at least stick with "I don't like guns, they hurt people, let's get rid of them" as your argument. [/QUOTE]
