I'm going to jump in again, because I just was in a town where everyone seems to own a gun.
The first kind of guns we need to regulate, and California does do a lot of that.
I've fired TheMontashu's target rifle, and the idea of using it to kill someone, well, I would better off hitting you over the head with the stock.
Hunting rifles are certain lethal, but the reality is the average gangbanger is not pulling out a Remington 700 bolt action and doing drive bys. (Of course, there will be another Texas Tower shortly after I write this). But the Mooshoo's father pointed out to me that Gov Brown has signed a bill requiring new rifles after 2014 to be registered just like handguns. It seems excessive to me, given how few murders there are with rifles.
Your argument, particular mentioning Klebold & Harris, reminds me of the NRA convention held in Denver 2 weeks after the Colombine shooting.
The best that the NRA could do was cancel most of the convention and say they were sorry.
Yeah, I like to explode dynamite, drive my car 150mph, and a bunch of other dangerous things. I like to think I would survive, but I know if we had no laws controlling these actions, people would drop like flies.
While I think people should be allowed guns, if we changed the culture as well as the laws, I'm not against that either.

I'm just smart enough to understand where semantics disconnect from reality. Would you not agree that a .50 is probably the most deadly round there is? I mean, hell guys in the military have made kills at 2000+ yards. Has there been a SINGLE crime commented with one? Nope! They are sever thousand dollars, heavy and slow to set up/shoot. It's actually easier to used a car in allot of ways, and there are more vehicular homicides than ones with target specific rifles, and 50's combined. You're missing the whole point where just because it shoots a bullet and yes, sure can kill as well as another bullet. If you look at the facts though, they are too heavy, slow to shoot, and extensive to be used in crimes, ever probably.
****, dude, I never said anything about gun control or crime.
Edit: Let me clarify. I never advocated gun control or basing gun control on types of guns, which seems to be your focus here.

No you've been sitting here saying my .22 is as deadly as my glock. Yes it can kill, but it's incredibly impractical and the idea that it's actually meant to/for and or great for killing like you guys have been saying is absurd

I read that, but you have contradicted yourself more than once here. I'm also not discussing BS semantics like I have said before. Yes a .22 will kill you, no a target rifle is not an effective weapon. Or a weapon at all in my mind, as it was never intended to be one, and from all I can tell aren't really used for that. If a target gun was made to put holes in paper an 99% of them are used to do just that, then how and when and where is it ever a weapon???
I said they were good at killing. That's true.
You are the one doing cartwheels over the definition of a "weapon," a word I never used.
Yet I am the one involved in "BS semantics."
Eat a **** sandwich, kid. Later!
And my response is, if they are so good at killing, why doesn't any one kill with them?
I'm not at all, I just grew up as a target shooter, and understand the distinct difference between an anchutz and an AR, in both design and intended use.
I will as soon as you remove what ever large object is causing your butt to be hurt
Musheu would do well as a DMV employee.
Don't sniper rifles work well for target practice?
I can make a headshot with an m16 with red dot sight from 800m.
Instant kill if you play hardcore.

You mean like this air rifle used to kill a cop?
Crackdown on killer air rifles - crime - national | Stuff.co.nz
*edit* and yes that air rifle is a .22 (5.5mm)
that's 1 out of how many gun deaths???? Doctors and cars still have air guns beat by 100000 fold, so do knives
This is the subtlety of gun discussions.
Yes, guns kill. Yes, any gun can kill.
You can argue that cars kill as well, but that's not the purpose of cars.
But if you delve deeper into gun arguments, certain types of guns are used much more in murders than others.
But it is a subtlety that is missed by many anti-gun advocates.
So you agree that you have no constitutional right to own #2. ****, you're even arguing that you don't have a constitutional right to own #3. That's WAY more anti-gun than I'd ever argue.
Just as much as we have no constitutional right to own a TV. If the argument holds true that they are in fact not intended to be (or very often used as) weapons then people having them or not should be a non issue and falls into the "life liberty and pursuit of happiness" (stuff) banner
If you want to look at the intent of the second amendment, I would argue that it's to protect ourselves from the government as much as anything, and by that logic we should be aloud to own a tommy gun to mow down the man. I'm trying to be a little more realistic than that
This is rather stupid on both counts. U.S. News - Mugger left bloodied after attempt on MMA fighter
