just heard about this a little while ago, sad to hear.

So it sounds like he used an AR-15, correct?

Is it perhaps time you guys banned automatic rifles ?

I can understand a handgun for protection but weapons like that are excessive.

AR15 is not an automatic weapon, it is semi auto. which forces you to squeeze the trigger for ever shot.

banning weapons won't do anything, theres so many guns out there that you can find one walking to walmart if you really want to

it sux to hear about another shooting, sad to see really

we will never be able to ban guns, but I think we should be able to make it harder to attain fully auto and semi auto weapons.

Like I have said earlier, if you need an AR-15 or SK to hunt, you probably suck at hunting and should stick to fishing.

That is the truth. Not saying you have to get out in the woods with nothing but a butt flap and a bowie knife, but if you cant hunt with a regular hunting rifle, then find a new hobby.
