Have you ever shot a bear and the first shot not take him down. Or how about a boar charging at you with it's tusks raised? Just stick to your arm chair hunting.

Lol, I hunt pretrty frequently. What you're saying is you can't shoot, are a pussy, and need the extra firepower to make sure you don't get hurt. That is truly sporting. I can see why you need an assault weapon. Maybe you should try a bazooka. Think that will get it done?

Guys, I know this issue has a lot of us pissed off and rightfully so when we hear about things like this happening. However, not everyone is going to be on the same side of the fence when discussing issues such as politics, religion, gun contol, etc... Its a big reason theyre not encouraged on this forum. When topics like these do come up, we need to keep any discussion respectful and free from personal attacks. Nothing personal, just keeping the peace. Much appreciated.....

I understand you feel strongly about where you side in this issue. I also don't fault you for wanting to make that point known. But I need you and everyone to keep the discussion clean from this point moving forward. You can get your point across without attacking someone in the process. It's all I ask.

Sorry everybody ........ I'm going to make an on topic post.

What a horrible tragedy. Truly. I feel for the parents and families of all the victims. I feel for all the first responders/police/fireman that will live the rest of their lives with the images of what they have seen. Rooms full of dead children. I feel for the entire community.

So close to Christmas. Plans have been made, presents have been bought.

Sad.

"There were 310 million nonmilitary firearms in the United States as of 2009, according to federal figures"

This figure sure stood out to me when I was surfing around the net today. With that many firearms out there, no wonder these horrific events occur. In my opinion, all guns should be banned. Police or military I can understand the need, but I never could understand why regular citizens need them, or are allowed to acquire them. I don't need one, and never will. Ban hunting too. Should have been banned when grocery stores were invented.

Prayers go out to all of the families affected by this, I have a little one in kindergarten too.
