    Joe Biden has had the wrong opinion on just about all foreign policy issues for the last 30 years. Not only is he an idiot, he is creepy. The way he has fondled numerous women in public view is disturbing. Joe.jpg

    He's not fondling. He's a Democrat.

    Doesn't he have a nickname (behind his back) something like 'Handsy'?

    OK. AS I said, I'm not an expert on guns. But the gun the mass murderer used in Las Vegas was fast enough to murder 26 people and injure 20 in 10 min.
    A timeline of Stephen Paddock's last 12 months - CNN

    10:05 p.m.
    Paddock smashes out two windows of his suite with a hammer, then opens fire
    at the 22,000 concertgoers below. The shots are caught on closed-circuit television from the concert venue. Concertgoers, confused at first, soon scatter in panic.
    10:12 p.m.
    Two Las Vegas police officers make it to the 31st floor of the Mandalay Bay after working their way up the building. One radios in: "I'm inside the Mandalay Bay on the 31st floor, I can hear automatic fire coming from one floor ahead... one floor above us."
    10:15 p.m.
    Paddock fires his final shots
    , which are recorded on an officer's bodycam.

    This is the statistic I'm concerned about.

    How many would he have killed had he flown his plane into the crowd? My hunting rifle is my former sniper rifle. 300 win. Mag. Bolt action. Not an "assault rifle" by anyone's definition. Its basically an extremely accurate, heavy, hunting rifle. I guarantee you had I gone all ape fool and decided to fire into that crowd, I could have easily topped 100. Shooting was the stupid way to carry out that act. Thousands of casualties could have bee inflicted using other, more simple methods.

    From the article you linked to:
    The author of the article contradicts himself every other paragraph.

    The problem is with specifically identifying the AR-15 as an assault weapon. ANY weapon used to inflict damage on groups of people should be considered an assault weapon. But that includes knives, swords, cars, trucks, etc., etc.
    Here's the fallacy with your argument: European countries that have strict gun laws, still have mass murders committed with guns.

    The restriction on the firearms hasn't stopped the problem. Lessened it, yes.

    I had a student worker two years ago who came to me and said he was thinking about committing suicide. I took him to the proper authority, and we got him to the local mental health clinic. He was doing better; but then at Thanksgiving, he took a rope and hung himself from a tree in the woods.

    The problem wasn't the rope, or his access to the rope.

    The distinguishing feature of an assault rifle is that it fires an intermediate cartidge (like an M4 in 5.56x45 or AKM in 7.63x39), in contrast to a main battle rifle which fires a larger round (like an FAL in 7.62x51 or M1 in 30-06).

    Not a reasonable comparison. How many would hew have killed if he had dropped a bomb from a plane? What about all the other mass murderers I mentioned?

    Joe Biden is a good, decent man which I can't say about your leader Trump.

    They have far fewer! Supporting all the needless guns that are in America is not a pro-life position. It's pro-death.

    A .300 Win mag is a heavy rifle. You sacrifice some meat but you usually drop the animal where it stands.

    Yep. I lung shoot the deer. No meat loss to speak of. You don't want to shoot one in the shoulders with it. Throw 1/3rd of the deer away if you do.

    So you have no problem that he just can't seem to keep his hands to himself, that he cannot respect the personal space of the women he comes into contact with? You need to watch the video where I got the still picture I posted. Disturbing! A good and decent man? Sorry, I don't see it.

    As for Donald Trump, the man is boorish and juvenile with his use of Twitter and the things he says on it. I cannot, nor would I defend him on that. He is no worse than all the other politicians in Washington (both Republicans and Democrats), who have soiled the institutions they belong to with their lies and sexual peccadillos. Surely you have heard in the last day or two that there is a Congressional slush fund that has paid out a reported 10 to 15 million dollars to settle sexual harassment claims. A pox on all their houses!

    Read some of the accounts of his Secret service detail. Seems to me he is a flat out pervert.

    Research. I am not posting those links on a Christian board. I heard one of his past agents on talk radio. Sickening really.
