ALL wounds caused by a .223 BushMaster, and ALL victims had multiple wounds.
The NRA reserves the constitutional right to HUNT first graders.

(6,843 posts)If this had been a standard Remmington 700 BDL bolt action chambered in .223, he would have gotten five shots off before having to stop and reload. Plus he would have had to cycle the bolt.
The other problem is people with mental disease keep getting access to guns.
It is time to bring back the Assault Weapons Ban and beef it up.

(2,060 posts)Locking fucktards up for 20 years for gun violations instead of those with a few ounces of weed would be a good second step.
Schema Thing
(10,283 posts)although I'm only for the Assault Weapons Ban if it focuses on capacity and speed of shooting/reloading.
I don't give a shit if a gun LOOKS like a military weapon, I care if it can fire a ridiculous amount of shots in a ridiculously short amount of time.

Aren't you really saying there needs to be a ban on all handguns?

(6,843 posts)I am assuming he had high capacity magazines for that .223 carbine (which is NOT a handgun).
hack89
(39,171 posts)One of his guns had a 10 round mag. The other a 15 round capacity.
Drahthaardogs
(6,843 posts)The shoot in Denver had a 100-round drum clip for his .223. This is just ridiculous. There is no need for civilians to have that kind of firepower.

(36,437 posts)Let me say this for those of you who don't remember or don't have kids: a first grader is pretty much fully cognizant of what is going on. They would understand the situation perfectly. They would realize what was happening. They make remarkable higher level inductions from data; they're actually quite remarkable; first grade is really the first time I thought my daughter could probably make it on her own if she needed to.
The terror must have been beyond description.
Beyond.
A first grader knows exactly what's going on. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
