I knooooow! And there was only one question. Imagine if there had been two questions. I might no longer have been smitten.

You have confused an imaginary majority invented by the NRA with what most people actually want. Every gun owner must be held responsible. We did that with cars when irresponsible car owners were massacring in large numbers. But gun owners need not be responsible. One can be too dangerous to board an airplane but can still buy all the assault weapons he wants in hours. That is called responsible? No, that increases sales - the entire purpose of the NRA.

NRA and extremist organizations foolishly promote responsibility as the banning and removal of all guns. Nobody - virtually nobody- is saying that except propaganda organizations such as the NRA.

You are confusing those who fear with others who demand responsible gun ownership based in a simple question so many fear to answer. No one has answers this question. Want verses need.

Still waiting for the long list of reasons what you said exist. Still writing that list? Looking forward to a 100 page thesis.

As I said, and WAPO says...

Etc.

Ignorance rages unabated and despite all the facts and figures and emotional rhetoric thrown about the primary culprit in this catastrophe is the media, who profit on fear mongering.

That said, there was a piece on the news today about recent findings on gun deaths in the U.S. The folks who did the study apparently spent years on it, and it adds perspective and clarity to an emotion fogged issue. Just raw data in an easy to read graphic.

This interactive graphic is part of our project exploring the more than 33,000 annual gun deaths in America and what it would take to bring that number down. See our stories on suicides among middle-age men, homicides of young black men and accidental deaths, or explore the menu for more coverage.

The common element in all these deaths is a gun. But the causes are very different, and that means the solutions must be, too.

I've been selling my silver and buying AR-15 lowers. I think we will have another assault weapons ban. I'll be laughing all the way to the bank!

I want my lowers on the registry as pre-ban so I can build rifles/pistols to pre-ban specs. I'll triple or quadruple my money if Hillary is elected.

Absolutely. She will ban the guns just like Obama did. Nothing wrong with that sound business plan.

Lol. Not an outright ban on weapons, but the reinstatement of the Assault Weapons Ban pushed through by President Clinton. We are starting to see the early stages of it with reduced capacity magazines and pinned magazines in some states. Once again, the ban on the magazines on apply to ones manufactured after a certain date.

I wonder when the gun speculation bubble will pop?
