Enforce the laws on the books, stress responsibility and accountability (including MA rated video games, parents), and take firearms
away from Democrats who seem to have the biggest problem with them, and commit 95% of the mass murders. Failing that, I just go
armed and concealed.

Note: It is not you that people are worried about. It is the idiots that go out and shoot other people and some times dozens at a time.
What is your solution to that problem?
The M16/AR15 is a weapon made to kill people with. It blows the body it hits apart. Shoot a deer with one and there is very little meat left that is eatable.
What is our solution to the problem of people using these weapons for mass shootings?
When they discover a way to prevent people from killing other people.
Perhaps your efforts should be geared toward people killing other people with illegally obtained handguns?? Or maybe those killing other people with knives?...... Here's some fun facts for you to read directly from the FBI website:

Great thanks for providing the link, it shows the 2/3 of the people each year in the report were killed with guns! What can we do about this? This is a very different problem than mass murders.
Back to the weapon of choice for mass murders. Why does anyone need one, including my brother who has an AK47 and SKS? Just for the record, I have a 38 cal pistol, which is next to my bed. Got rid of my long guns over the years. Had a carry permit for years, however only carried when dry camping in remote areas. Had weapon training in the military, we had M16's and one 12ga riot gun on the USCG Loran Station in Thailand 1966-67 during the SE Asia War, also incorrectly known as the Vietnam, as much if it occurred in Laos and Cambodia with staging from Thailand.
Do you with your small carry weapon want to face someone with an AR15, body armor and multiple high capacity clips. Cops sure do not want to do that, and they wear vest all the time. What do you think your chances are of taking out a mass murdered before he kills you and multiple others?
Yeah,I'm not a fan of the military style weapons.Note: It is not you that people are worried about. It is the idiots that go out and shoot other people and some times dozens at a time.

I'm thinking you mis-spoke about that 2/3's of all people are killed by guns.
What happened to the times when someone didn't like something, they simply ignored it or didn't buy it? A store down in the valley I buy fuel from offers a gay magazine for sale. I don't like seeing it, but I don't try to get it removed from the shelf. I simply. ignore it. It's pretty clear that Sno doesn't like AR15's (not M16) and other various firearms. Okay fine, Sno doesn't own or purchase those firearms; pretty easy.
What I don't get is the ideology that if guns or certain types of guns are removed from the public, that people will magically quit killing other people..... People have always killed people and always will and they will use any means necessary to complete their rage. It's only a matter of time before bomb use increases and will not be able to comfortably sit and enjoy a meal in public without the fear of someone detonating an explosive and killing or injuring hundreds more people than any mass shooter could ever do on his own. So then how do we prevent that? Ban any and all types of components and ingredients that can make a bomb....... copper wires, switches, circuit boards, acids? Where do we stop???????
One thing for certain is creating a cure for a symptom is not going to stop anyone from killing another human being.
You do realize that the AR15 is a semi automatic version of the M16 that has a selector lever that allows it to operate as fully automatic or semi automatic. I sure that somewhere on the internet there is info on how to make an AR15 operate like the M16. These are killing machines period. They share the same rounds with a muzzle velocity of 3100-3200 ft/s. The round rips a body apart as it tumbles and fragments on impact.
Our M16's were is a locking in the Loran Station timer room. We never shot any Thais with them, as Thailand was considered a friendly country to the US Military.
I don't have any liberal friends.
