Not sure what "inner residents" are, but the vast majority of street crimes are committed with handguns, not rifles.
Also rifles are plenty useful, they're good for ventilating government footpads. Just ask Randy Weaver.
But Engineer, you argument really collapses when we talk about assault rifles, useless for hunting, being useful for inner residents who never intend to use their assault rifles for legitimate hunting purposes. As well healed NRA gun nuts will buy assault weapons and a thousand rounds of ammunition, that will often end up in the hands of criminals or those that are totally psychotic.
My my, I will feel much better when you are lobotomized. The membership rolls at the Natal Rampage Association would be a good place to start. I have a thing against folk who care more for things than they do for children.
**SNIP**
Well since Obama's children go to school with armed guards. Then it should be ok for the rest of the schools to also have armed guards right?
Obama also has government healthcare for life. Then it should be ok for the rest of us to have government healthcare for life, right?
(see how that works).
Well we do once you turn 65. See how that works......
Everybody knew that the NRA statement would be a pile of shit.
Not only a pile of shit, a parody, I could not believe how so incredibly stupid their proposal was, a joke on itself.
Allow me this article from a right wing newspaper in Canada:
GLOBE EDITORIAL
NRA's solutions show Americans the true face of gun culture
The National Rifle Association clearly is desperate. This morning, as AP reported, “The nation’s largest gun-rights lobby called Friday for armed police officers to be posted in every American school to stop the next killer ‘waiting in the wings.’”
Now you know that an idea is either very bad or very good when the fringes of the left and right agree. As it turns out, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA., has introduced legislation that would allow governors to put National Guard Troops in public schools. She calls it the Save Our Students Act. (Here’s her press release on the NRA presser.)
I would hate to be a kid these days. There’s way too much security and too many politicians who want to turn schools into armed camps.
I understand that some will watch this video and see compassion, but others cannot help but watch and listen to Boxer and see rank opportunism.
As the other fact to mention, is the fact that the USA has no more or no less of fraction defective psychotics. Who will somehow kill their fellow country men and women for only psychotic reasons.
Yet when the USA leads the entire world in terms of psychotic gun violence as the psychotic weapon of choice, its hardly time to say yippee the USA is number one again. terms of gun violence being used against school age children. Simply because assault rifles access in the USA is the easiest way for US psychotics express their psychosis.
An assault rifle is a select-fire (either fully automatic or burst capable) rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. It is not to be confused with assault weapons.[1] Assault rifles are the standard service rifles in most modern armies. Assault rifles are categorized in between light machine guns, which are intended more for sustained automatic fire in a light support role, and submachine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge.
1.
a military rifle capable of both automatic and semiautomatic fire, utilizing an intermediate-power cartridge.
2.
a nonmilitary weapon modeled on the military assault rifle, usually modified to allow only semiautomatic fire.
The constitution is not evil just antiquated. Back then the only form of protection were armed citizen militias there was no police and no army just ordinary citizens. So if you wanted any type of law and order you had to organize leave the fields take your gun and go with your neighbors kill the shit out of some Indians.Is the constitution evil too?
He was using an assault rifle, just as the person that you quoted had stated.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/assault+rifle?s=t
A semi-automatic, or self-loading, firearm is a weapon that performs all steps necessary to prepare the weapon to fire again after firing—assuming cartridges remain in the weapon's feed device or magazine. Typically, this includes extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge case from the weapon's firing chamber, re-cocking the firing mechanism, and loading a new cartridge into the firing chamber. Although automatic weapons and selective fire firearms do the same tasks, semi-automatic firearms do not automatically fire an additional round until the trigger is released and re-pressed by the person firing the weapon.
[Funny but gun-grabbing California Democrat Senator Barbra Boxer (D) is proposing we have national guard troops literally stationed in our schools. On the face of it when compared to what the NRA is suggesting (having trained officers on campuses) their proposal is not as terrible compared to what the fringe left wing gun-grabbers in D.C. would like to see, even though its still bad IMHO.

You obviously didn't read the NRA's statement.
They offered to pay for and train the security guards.
No one is suggesting arming security guards with assault rifles.
An armed security guard would do more to prevent mass shootings than ridiculous assault weapons bans.
Like in Kent State, just in case the students get a little uppity the National Guard will be there to put them back in their place, for their own protection of course.:hmm:
You don't really understand what you are talking about it seems. All legal firearms (which include handguns and shotguns) sold today are semi-automatic in that they fire off one round as fast as you can pull the trigger and prepare the next round to be fired off with another trigger pull.

This is the best idea from the NRA in a long time. How about a $50 tax on each gun sold and $1 for each bullet sold to pay for all of these security guards?
As for the second issue, my suggestion would be to put bars on all 1st floor school windows and have a buffer zone where someone can be rung into a foyer of the school without gaining entrance to the school. Basically, put them inside of a gas station clerk area where they are in a 4x6 area surrounded by bullet proof glass with a sliding tray that they can pass their ID through without actually entering the school.
It's a whole lot cheaper than arming someone in every single school in the country and training them to be responsible with any weapon.
