Prosecutor missed a great opportunity, when Kyle said he only shot at targets from a couple of yards away, he should have asked what type of targets they were using.
I think a semi-auto ban would do wonders. That is my fenixgoon-as-benevolent-dictator solution. Hunters could still hunt. Target shooters can still shoot. Revolvers and shotguns would still be legal for home defense. But by and large you're removing anything that shoots remotely fast and would be attractive for murder or mass shooting events.
There have been 28 state and territory-based amnesties since the Port Arthur massacre in April 1996. The "National Firearms Buyback Program", which ran from October 1996 through September 1997, was held for 12 months and retrieved 650,000 guns. The 2003 handgun buyback ran for 6 months and retrieved 68,727 guns. Both involved compensation paid to owners of firearms made illegal by gun law changes and surrendered to the government. Bought back firearms were destroyed.
The Government increased the Medicare levy from 1.5% to 1.7% of income for one year to finance the 1996 buyback program. The program was budgeted to cost $500 million. The buyback cost $304 million in compensation and $63 million in administration. [2]
I don't know what you're talking about. When I cry it's always entirely tearless too.But he looks so sincere!!
I know I couldn’t possibly duplicate that without rehearsal.I don't know what you're talking about. When I cry it's always entirely tearless too.

According to his attorneys, after Rittenhouse had heard about a local business owner who wanted help defending his car dealership, he and his friend Dominick David Black "armed themselves with rifles" and went to that business. The dealership had suffered $1.5 million in arson damage the previous night. When Daily Caller reporter Richie McGinniss asked Rittenhouse why he was at the car dealership, he responded: "So, people are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business. Part of my job is also to help people. If there is somebody hurt, I'm running into harm's way. That's why I have my rifle, because I have to protect myself, obviously. I also have my med kit." At some point, Rittenhouse left the dealership and was prevented by police from returning.
'I did what I had to do,' Rittenhouse says at Wisconsin murder trial.
My proposal;
One long gun, one hand gun, one shot gun. None may be capable of holding more than six rounds under any circumstances. Each round must be manually chambered by cocking, break/breach, lever or pump action.
No one person may be in possession of more than twelve rounds unless transporting one box for each weapon directly home from a supplier. (Most hunting permits have bag limits lower than that.)
No mail order. All purchases done in person only and only at authorized transfer points.
The Second Amendment is not a suggestion, it is a directive.I think a semi-auto ban would do wonders. That is my fenixgoon-as-benevolent-dictator solution. Hunters could still hunt.

And what do you mean by that, exactly?The Second Amendment is not a suggestion, it is a directive.
That the poster ain't got much in the way of smarts.And what do you mean by that, exactly?
And the second amendment is subject to restrictions, just like any other amendment.The Second Amendment is not a suggestion, it is a directive.
A remarkable stupid statement, even for you.It's a messy situation, to put it mildly, and I don't think either side is clean-cut here.
My beef, as Vic touched on, is that conservatives are trying to paint Rittenhouse as a hero. He's not. He's a dutifully brainwashed teen who went on a trip hoping to pick a fight... and let's be honest, he was likely itching to kill some liberals. Two people would still be alive if he hadn't left home.
He was the 1st agressor that was killed, yes.Rosenbaum was the first victim.
You mean he armed himself before going into an area where BLM and other criminals were looting, rioting and burning buildings ?static.....click....pop...static.....
No radio silence here.
KR deserved everyone's wrath because he took a gun into an area looking for trouble. He was already quoted about his desire to shoot someone. He should be condemned just like people coming in from out of town just to incite violence.
Having said that testimony by some of the victims hasn't gone well for the prosecution.
You finished jerking off yet?
Gosh, thank you for allowing us to keep some of our Rights. Any others that you believe we don't need, such as freedom of speech, freedom to assemble or freedom from unreasonable searches? Oh mighty dicktater.I think a semi-auto ban would do wonders. That is my fenixgoon-as-benevolent-dictator solution. Hunters could still hunt. Target shooters can still shoot.

"... and let's be honest, he was likely itching to kill some liberals. "Care to actually back that up with evidence? "LOL you're stupid" is not evidence, that's being childish.
I, however, do have evidence. Rittenhouse repeatedly expressed support for Blue Lives Matter, an anti-BLM movement fetishized by conservatives. He had previously visited a car dealership with a rifle in hopes of protecting it. He loves playing vigilante and was itching for a fight in Kenosha.
And there's also no question that many conservatives worship the ground Rittenhouse walks on. See Trump, or Tucker Carlson's obsessive coverage. And they've convinced people like you that Rittenhouse is some poor, innocent kid who was set upon by those 'evil' liberals. While the case isn't clear-cut, as I said, the truth is that Rittenhouse went practically expecting to use his rifle.
Where is your evidence members of BLM were looting? Or is this your usual lying again?You mean he armed himself before going into an area where BLM and other criminals were looting, rioting and burning buildings ?
Gosh, thank you for allowing us to keep some of our Rights. Any others that you believe we don't need, such as freedom of speech, freedom to assemble or freedom from unreasonable searches? Oh mighty dicktater.
Rights are not unlimited. Conservatives love to forget this at the most convenient of times.Gosh, thank you for allowing us to keep some of our Rights.

KR is a poster boy for a right wing hero. Just like Cliven Bundy was another poster boy. Like the insurrectionists are poster kids. Like Derrick Chauvin was a poster boy. As long as they are killing the right people conservatives are fine with it.Care to actually back that up with evidence? "LOL you're stupid" is not evidence, that's being childish.
