CNN isn't sure if he used it or not...

What did he use? No way it was just a couple of handguns.

Certain models of Glocks accept high-capacity magazines capable of carrying 22 rounds. Some Sig Sauer's can take magazines that hold 15 rounds.

Didn't know that.

So you are defending something you know nothing about? Jesus Christ. Even I have shot these guns before. No way in forking heck do they ever come inside my house, but at least I understand these weapons.

Here, watch this.

Uh, what exactly am I defending?
 
I'm not educated enough on the topic to debate gun control legislation, but I did want to clarify that. A lot of what I've seen debated has been along the lines of "people shouldn't be allowed to legally own assault rifles."

To whoever asked does it matter what guns this killer used today? No, it doesn't.

But it is important to know which guns he used today if you're going to use today's events to frame the debate. Frankly, I don't think that needs to happen for the debate to take place. It's a legitimate debate with or without today's tragedy.
 
Little more info on the father.

Good, I'm glad you are for expanding handgun control and regulations.

Didn't say that either.

And i thought we were busy outlawing assault rifles.
 
I just find it completely amazing that almost all of SJ left is mad at the guns and has completely forgotten about the man who used them.

"SJ left?"

I don't think anyone's forgotten about him.

Reasonable question to ask how he got the guns to do this.
 
Maybe this will put the issue into perspective:

Oh, I'm sure someone's going to come on here and quibble about the actual stats but even if they're wrong by 20%, it doesn't change anything.

I think most of the "SJ left's" point is that the man who used them is obviously mentally unstable and therefore maybe should not have been able to get his hands on the weapons so easily. Just spit-ballin'.

Tony, the gun discussion is part of this. Get over your politics and deal with it.

And if that was rude, I don't give a damn. Not today. Not after this.

That's pretty funny. Tony wants explanations from others.
