Please don't feed into the hysteria. Just be prepared as much as you are able. Always vote to allow concealed carry because they are the ones you don't have to worry about. The criminals don't care about laws obviously if they are willing to kill. Research the stats on concealed carry license owners. Less then 1% commit any kind of crimes. My worst nightmare is having to use my firearm, but I will if forced. Police cannot be everywhere, and we wouldn't want them to be. That's a police state.

can anyone say Black psy ops?

@greenback001 exactly

How interesting that this retard was able to kill 60% of his victims with pistols, Sirhan Sirhan doesn't remember shit after killing Robert F. Kennedy, Jared Loughner was obsessed with mind control, and Lee Harvey Oswald was cuffed in a movie theater and denied having shot JFK or Officer Tippit. I smell funny business going on...

@CoryAKAknoxville Guess what, idiot. I'm pretty sure hollowpoints are legalized. This guy was using legalized handguns and ammunition. The shards from hollow points are hard to remove and as such there's no way you'd want to legalize it, even if a criminal came into your house, you don't want to kill them on a hospital bed.

I'm pretty sure they stated his credentials. And the weapon is pretty important, too. But certain guns can only fire certain ammunition anyways.

These right-wing nutjobs make zero sense. Sure, few people use legalized guns to do this and that.

But guess what? THEY DID.

Most people probably try to feel more like a man.

Then again, it could be a problem with the society around it. But Canada hasn't had nearly as many problems with guns, and they still allow hunting weapons because of the wildlife there.

Suck it up. Your manhood isn't worth someone else's life.

@ryanapple1111 people are scared of guns if somebody at your house pulled a gun on you and said to you get on your knees you wouldnt get on them :-)

[ryanapple1111]

That is a good question. How did he learn how to shoot?

Not just anyone is good at firing a gun, especially if you've never done it before.

Think its easy? Go to the dollar store and get yourself one of those airsoft guns and see if you can hit some targets around the house, its pretty hard, now imagine what it would be like if the gun was much heavier, had recoil, and you were frustrated and in a rush.

This applies to a lot of other killers to. How did they learn how to shoot?

[greenback001]

This last shooter, like others before him, are no doubt government mind control zombies; perhaps with secret shooters on the scene to insure high death toll.

If any of you people making these claims had fired a hand-gun even once in your pre-pubescent lives, you would know these things. Did you get paid by the (insert liberal group here) to post your nonsense on this page?

You people are a joke...

You cannot change a magazine in 1/2 a second

It takes a lot of training to even hit a car at 50' with a 9mm - kills at 50' are only by trained experts, and highly unlikely at that

The hollow-point effect of a .22 is negligible at 50' if not absurd.

You cannot train to hit a moving / running target without actually doing it - you cannot learn it at the shooting range. If you have not trained for it, there is simply no way you would have any accuracy, much less 60% kill
