Shooting at Las Vegas casino

Unless Vegas is different than Atlantic City, you can't take a gun into a casino so he broke the law right there.

 

Yeah, but I don't think they buy them to kill people.

 

My papaw had a serious love for over/unders from Europe. I think he paid less than $2,500 combined for them.

Yep. If my shop ever catches fire, I'd give a serious thought to running in and trying to grab the Daisy BB gun my grandfather taught me to shoot with at my grandma's old pie tins.

 

They realize they can, and that's what they are designed for, but they don't look at a gun and think wow, I could kill a lot of people with this.

 

1) If you own any gun, it's a good idea to take target practice occasionally.
2) Nearly any gun can be defined as "semi-automatic," which means one trigger pull, one shot. I think I know what you're trying to say, but even then it's not accurate. A lot of people hunt with AR-15s, and many deer rifles are not single-shot and could thus be defined as "semi-automatic" even though the magazines might only hold 3-5 rounds.
Point being, the term "semi-automatic" has become a bogeyman when it really doesn't mean much of anything.

 

So if someone told them that, they wouldn't want their guns?

 

What's your point?

Oh yeah, but how many American citizens did Muslim terrorists kill in the same period of time?? Here's a guess, ZERO.

How many $$$ went into law enforcement to hunt Muslim terrorists in the past 15 years?

Now how much to avoid domestic terrorism? My mind tells me it was less than 1% of that amount. But go on demonizing foreign Muslims and those wicked Mexicans from across the border.

 

Point taken that I'm not explaining it well. And yeah, I think target practice is a good thing if you choose to be a gun owner. I'm saying nobody needs a weapon that can end dozens of lives in a matter of seconds. However that is best described (assault rifle?) is up to whomever can say it better.

 

Really? Who are these "lot"? I'd like specifics for that one.

Anyone using an AR-15 to hunt animals is a gutless worm.

 

No - they just don't see a gun (on its own) as the threat that non-gun people do. And people use this "indifference" to assume gun people don't care. But they do. They're just more concerned about the person holding the gun, than the gun on its own.
Lee Leffingwell says polls show 90 percent of Americans and 74 percent of NRA members support criminal background checks before all gun buys

 

Once AR sales began to sag, gun manufacturers began expanding them out of the "black gun" wannabe SEAL category. They started chambering them in traditional calibers for hunting deer and elk and building variants for long shots in sheep hunts or prairie dog shoots. Lots of ranchers use them for predator control like coyotes or on feral hogs.

It was a hell of a marketing move to brand them "modern sporting rifles."
