The gun control argument stops now. I know it's fun to argue about it in the heat of the tragedy when you can get all worked up about it but it's pretty disrespectful and if you don't care enough about the issue to make a separate topic for gun control then you don't care enough to shit on the tragedy by exploiting it. A gun control topic can be found here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=313472 Also stop posting links to his facebook. TL will be no part of an unconfirmed witch hunt. | ||

In theory, it is. In practice, not so much. If you do not believe me, check out this site. Just check out the "equipment exchange" and revel in all of the automatic and semi-automatic weapons being offered. One can literally buy a machine gun directly from another person and have it sent to a local gun shop for pickup without the involvement of a single federal agency. A friend of mine did just that. And if you happen to live in a state with gun shows, just ask a vendor what he's got behind the display. It really is that easy. | ||

Getting a legal automatic weapon is extremely expensive, but you can order whatever ammo off the internet, which is usually a good idea because bulk pricing is pretty good. Your sporting goods store does not sell automatic rifles. I see. Not too familiar with firearms I'm afraid. Is it common for people to be armed with heavier weapons in the US, as in weapons typically used by the military? | ||

Newtown is quite a ways away from where I live. Still, it’s scary for something like this to happen in my home state. (To be fair it’s scary anywhere, just closer to home today) | ||

So sick of people telling me they are sad to see this kind of thing, but they won't support the most basic gun control laws. Yes, I know guns don't kill people, but they make it really easy. Gun related Deaths by Country (per 100,000 population) Japan 0.07 England 0.22 Ukraine 0.35 Spain 0.63 Germany 1.10 Israel 1.86 United States 9.00 Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate God Bless America, the NRA and the 2nd Amendment! | ||

I have always been on the side of sending my kids to public schools, but now that I have one I can't imagine doing so with the amount of shootings that are happening. I can't even comprehend the situation for the parents and families. My prayers are with them. I really can't see how a privatized school would have ended up any different. This REALLY isn't a public versus private thing. At all. This is absolutely horrific. I can't even begin to imagine how it's like being a parent to one of those kids right now, or five years down the line. If anything is insanity-inducing, this is it. Edit: That said, apparently the kid of the shooter attends this school. What's the back-story here? | ||

Or is that just some strange rumour I heard? the difference between full automatic and semi automatic lies in a weapon part, not the amunition. i remember when i was in the army that the army rifles had a specific part that could make civilian versions of that weapon into basically the army version, because one day one of those parts was not accounted for and the whole base was on lockdown until they found it in a drawer or something. also, who the hell kills 20 children. I dont think gun control would have fixed this. | ||
