    An AR15 has an average price of around $800-$1000. It would, no doubt, jump were you to only be able to get them illegally. Would I, personally, buy an outlawed firearm? It would depend. As it stands now, I don't need to, since I have my own.

    Would a criminal intent on killing someone, committing a mass murder and them killing himself care about it? Not at all. Thus, it would not stop what you are trying to get it to stop.

  2. IMHO a full auto m-16 isn't worth a thousand bucks.

    The bazooka argument is a completely ridiculous. I ignored it before, but you seem hell-bent on using it, so let's talk about how stupid it is.

    The reason bazookas are not an issue is because of applicable use. There's just no market for it. If there were, there would be a way to get it. What would you use a bazooka for that you couldn't just use a gun, or an explosive for? There are no tanks on our streets, and no need for rocket propelled grenades. The reason no one goes for them is because there is simply no use for them. Psychopaths want to kill people, not blow up armor cav units. Get real, man.

    I also noticed you still didn't address my drugs argument. This is probably because you cannot.

    Not personally no
    Tons literally TONS of illegal/"banned" contraband are smuggled into this country every year.
    What makes a small rocket supposedly so difficult?

    How about we "ban"/address the psychos committing the mass murders?
    That is the real problem, isn't it?

    Perhaps, but he said AR-15, and the many different brands of those will average between 800-1000 - again, on average. You can buy an HK for a lot more than a Colt.

  6. You can buy an AK for a lot less. Not as accurate, arguably more reliable.

    You don't have to smuggle jack into the US. There are plenty of military leaks of hardware out there for the right price. But the question still remains: WHY? What would you need a "Bazooka" (which isn't even an accurate term anymore) for? If you want to take out a plane because you are a terrorist, you could easily acquire an IGLA if money wasn't an object. When was the last time that happened domestically?

    Let's stop with the make pretend bullshit and focus on the topic of the OP.

    Now this is a serious response with many valid points.

    I understand your point about giving in any ground. Today we limit to 10 bullets, then 5 , then 1....

    But this is my point, certain things are reasonable certain not.

    If we want a serious solution for these mass shooting any ban and background checks need to go along with things that you mentioned. Better school security, at least one or few personnel with a carry, central mental patient DB and so on.

    When all these things put together, we will have as good as it gets. Yes, the tragedies can still happen, but the society will be better equipped to respond, and the balance between rights and safety is there.

    If all of the above was in place, CT tragedy would have been on a much smaller scale.

    You can buy a lot of Russian arms online for cheap. A Mosin-Nagant for example, right now, for $100.

    This is another argument you try all the time. You seem to think you have the right to say what is or is not reasonable and we should all accept it. What gave you the right to dictate what is reasonable to us?

    Speculation (again) with absolutely no proof.
