Just a snowscreen of course in order to make gun ownership only for the rich. Stil using the concept that illegal guns will have insurance.

Not sure that violence is proportional to number of guns a person owns.

Not at all carp. My brother had this as a lad. A Remington nylon 66. Held 15 rounds semi automatic.

Couldn't be a machine gun. Didnt looky scary

No a semi won't do this;

machinegun
noun
an automatic gun that fires bullets in rapid succession for as long as the trigger is pressed.

This is "junk" (junk is my word for not getting to the heart of the problem IMO)

We should make committing a crime immediately punishable. Any crime.

We don't need to make the punishment more severe, in most cases, just more certain and immediate. These are the attributes that deter crime. Just look at child rearing. Don't wait for "your daddy to get home". Do it now

Wrong. The rate of fire of a machine can be more than 10X that of a semi auto.

Given the idea of justice, which includes the opportunity for a vigorous defense, and restrictions on the authority of police powers so as to avoid the sort of tyranny that some 2nd Amendment advocates say is the key to gun ownership, and the right to pursue appeals on all sorts of grounds from evidentiary to constitutional: given all that, and more, how in the name of America can one have an immediate punishment for crime?

The CO theater shooting involved a scary looking semi automatic carbine. The CT school shooting, according to the autopsy, involved multiple pistols - the scary looking semi automatic carbine was left outside in the car.

According to the ME the rifle was used as well, if not the primary weapon ...

Not according to the Connecticut State Police. Apparently, the weapon left in the trunk was a shotgun.

It would be so much easier if we followed the writers of the Constitution recommendation to allow ALL to bear arms !

IF anyone wants to walk around in T-shirts with a musket, it's FINE with me !! grin
