Was the Sandy Hook shooter? How about the Aurora Colorado movie theater? Their names are unworthy of recognition. They were not effective according to you.

Worldwide or just in the US? You might look that up before you think you made a point.

How were they not effective? They used automatics to kill easily because you can just spray in a general area and hit several people in a crowd. You don't have to be skilled to hit someone with an automatic weapon. You have to be skilled to be accurate and reliable with it

They didn't use automatics.

The aurora shooter did I'm pretty sure. Sandy Hook I don't know. I thought that Nick was saying they both used automatics
I'll take that as a "yes".

I politely asked that you think carefully before answering. You didn't.

Nick didn't say that.
You shouldn't pontificate on matters you're only 'pretty sure' of or 'don't know.'

Feel free to make a counterpoint. Or just do what you do best and add nothing to the conversation. It's up to you

Well seeing as he quoted me when I said that only trained professionals should use automatic firearms, then used that quote to talk about the sandy hook and aurora shootings, I think he kind of did.
Then why do you poke your head into conversations about science? You aren't even "pretty sure" about any of that stuff, yet you don't seem to mind pontificating on it
AR-15 is a semi auto, and in close quarters, including at home it is a great weapon for self defense, easy to handle & plenty of punch. I wasn't eluding you were not gun savvy but, I hate the term assault rifle because here in California that term has been skewed to disallow law abiding citizens access to the same weapons that criminals use against us illegally. I am for access to weapons for sport & defense and against any more laws that make me a criminal for having them.
I will concede TomO's point is not without merit. Not even close in fact.
I must have missed it, what was TomO's point?
Why presume when the answer is in the text?
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed
Militia =citizen army. Not the national guard or active. Congress regulates and the President is the commander. Those are not a militia.
being necessary to the security of a free state
A citizen army and the right to bear arms are necessary for the security of a free state. The left hates freedom and liberty.
That is called sarcasm. I was mocking you. The AR-15 is most effective when not fired automatic. Those liberal mass murderers that you work with to try and convince people to repeal the second amendment are not trained professionals and they murdered dozens. You said only the trained should be able to use such a weapon. I showed you how wrong you are.

It is semi-automatic, yes, but it can be easily converted to be automatic. I had a couple friends who did that.
Is there a limit to what weapons a normal citizen should be able to own, in your opinion? For example, is an RPG okay to buy and sell? What about a mortar?

Lol yes I'm well aware of the wording. I categorize that under self-defense

What? It's deadly as an automatic whether it's in trained hands or not, and it's deadly to innocent people in untrained hands. You certainly did nothing to disprove that
