Molloy, thanks for no flames. This board might be worth actually joining. Do not get me wrong. School shootings are incredibly heinous acts. I do not think they are the norm. I live in St. Charles, MO. and the media (I choose to blame them) coverage inspired two kids in 6th grade to compile a "hit list" and plan to re-enact Jonesboro. 10 - 11 year old kids should NOT have these ideas.

Emile, your statements sure sound racist. That is not the way this country will continue to work. I agree with the points about media control but I don't play racism.

Steve you said some thing about "assault weapons." Do you understand that they are no different than your deer rifle as far as functionality? A Ruger mini 14 is a .223. Looks "normal" Takes a clip holds 7 - 10 - 30 rounds. A Colt H-bar looks "military" is a .223, takes a clip holds 7 - 10 - 30 rounds. I can go on with a .308 Browning or a .308 Armalite but, I don't want to insult you as I am sure you are familiar with these weapons. However, my point is "assault weapons" look scary and may have a few features designed to facilitate handling but they are the same thing you can buy at Wal-mart.

This gun control controversy is a mess. I am a life NRA member. Reason is they are the only game in town. Period. I do not see any alternative. I want to keep my guns, they want to help me.
