Did anyone post this link, debunking this? I am not going to go through 18 pages when I see the information is false, but here it is. I have a lovely, intelligent, Fierce supervisor at work that quickly shot me down when I offered up incorrectly, as FACT, the claim in this post that all the recent shooters were Democrats

One on the same. They grow Govt, Govt grows to aid the politician. One washes the back of the other.

Also I have no problem with taxing gray area items that can be viewed either as dangerous or as luxuries. The only alternative is to outright ban stuff which most of the time is overkill.
So, you are fine with sin taxes???
How is that not infringing again??
You are also then fine with the Govt deciding what is good and what is bad?? I guess freedom just died a little more today.

Most people DO view suppressors/silencers as gray area items. Suppressing a 9mm or .45acp seems normal, but I have seen people trying to suppress a .22lr or .32acp gun, which is typical of assassin type motives. If you can't stand the noise of small caliber weapons then you probably should not be shooting at all.
I can't help the uneducated or the ignorant.
Suppressors are also used for hunting. Or for use to assist with hearing loss. Shall not be infringed upon still applies to this.

SBR typically are for pistol rifles. I love them! You get 50%-100% longer distance than shot from a typical pistol, and the platform is sturdy since it involves a buttstock thus making shooting more relaxed/enjoyable/reliable. A 9mm uzi is said to go out to 120 yards regardless if auto or semi-auto.
I would say no. As the acronym stands for Short Barreled Rifle. Not long barreled pistol.
There is popularity to have a SBR chambered in the pistol rounds, due to price of ammo and availability of the conversion parts for the popular AR15 platform.
But, as a whole, the SBR is still for a short barreled rifle, chambered in 233.

There's a handgun made that will fire just about every caliber that a rifle will fire.
One can take down a elephant with a handgun. Only difference is you got to have a strong wrist and a good stance of the recoil....and you might have to stand a little closer to the elephant with a handgun than with a rifle.
Grizzly bears are taken down with handguns quite regularly.
Automobiles are flipped over using a handgun quite regularly.
A high powered handgun ain't for wimps...that's for sure.

So the Dems use guns. At least they don't cause the property damage like the Republican killers like Timothy McVeigh when they go on a killing spree.
Because the death of innocents is far more acceptable than property damage. Love the logic.

Depends on what kind of sin taxes they are. If they make sense to me or not. Taxing everything is bad, taxing nothing is also bad. Government needs money to run the nation. I am sure conservatives don't have a problem invading the middle east anymore than liberals have. It is all perspective as they say.

We live in a constitutional republic that is damaged by misinformed voters and a biased in globalism, corporately controlled media. Yes I have a problem with democrats and republicans choosing for me.

Not everyone deserves to have a gun. Those with hearing loss, those with mental problems, those that fear guns excessively, those with felony records, etc don't deserve them.

What does AR-15 have to do with short barreled rifles chambered in .32acp, 9mm, and .45acp?
Originally posted by EarthCitizen07
UZI 9mm carbine, CZ-61, Tommy gun, MAC-10, etc. Any gun with a barrel under 16 inches is considered SBR including long rifles of course. The buttstock makes for a stable platform and the longer than average pistol barrel increases distance.

SO, then you are for Social Engineering, via the Govt and not for Freedom.
We are taxed enough, our Military is spread to thin and shouldn't be over in the ME anyways.
But, you are fine with Sin taxes, imposed by those same people.
You really need to rethink your thoughts on Govt, as one statement contradicts another.
Please, do some research into the SBR world and then come back.
Being on teh cusp of opening my own firearms manufacturing business, I have researched this extensively.

Oh please. Spare me the conservative hypocrisy. If romney was elected president and his lapdog ryan you folks would be rejoicing like crazy. Government is only bad when democrats are in office.

Why are you assuming all democrats want to make gun ownership illegal?
Thats probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard or read. What 92 percent of Americans want is backround checks. Regardless of party. Most democrats are perhaps on board with the AWB again, but that's another debate.
To not make the distinction between making military weapons illegal for private citizens, and making all firearms illegal in genral, is to completely miss the entire point of what is going on today within the 2nd ammendment debate. You've actually convinced yourself that everyone who votes (D) wants to make firearms illegal. I think you listen to way too much right wing talk.
