Give it a rest, send your condolences and move on, and try to enjoy Christmas knowing that you are fortunate. Edit: Saw the mod thing, seems kind of ridiculous because the debate was started in the OP, but edited. | ||

There was even a thread about it on here because they were trying to blame Starcraft. Some Democrat senators also blamed video games before the NRA and have proposed a bill to fund a study into the impact of violent video games on children. I think if anything needs to be looked at a bit more, its the support for mentally ill people in the US. Gun control and Video games just seem to be false paths to a solution for these sorts of killings. | ||

Yea, you can't just put put one bullet into the guy's brain that easily. Unlike criminals, we, as a society, see ourselves on the high moral ground, so we do not act on emotions or on hatred or on desire of vengeance ; but we seek justice (Whatever that means!) I don't know for the US, but in Canada, even when one is guilty of a crime, if found to be "mad" or psychologically troubled, that person will not be guilty in a criminal way. For the sake of discussion, if we had the death penalty, the persons who are not criminally guilty probably wouldn't be executed And finally, the reason why it takes so long to send someone to their death is because you want to be 100% sure that there isn't a mistake. A mistake = 1 innocent life taken away. I think there have been many cases, or suspicious cases in your history. | ||

Because of financial problems, ArmaLite sold the AR-15 design to Colt. The select-fire AR-15 entered the US military system as the M16 rifle. Colt then marketed the Colt AR-15 as a semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle for civilian sales in 1963** | ||

Also, in case you don't know, an assault rifle is defined as a select fire rifle that fires an intermediate cartridge. An AR-15, being only semi-auto, is a military style semiautomatic rifle. | ||

Dude, he obviously knows. He said "the select-fire AR-15 entered the US military..." He never said ALL AR-15s are select fire for sucks sake. The point he's trying to make is that there is obviously a crossover between civilian weaponry and military firearms. And the line between the two categories is so thin its almost negligible. Stop putting words in people's mouths and give a little bit of charity to the case others are trying to make, maybe try rereading also. | ||
