How many shootings in Egypt or Syria today (Dec 14)? I noticed no one said a word about those.

And why exactly would you want the AR "fetish" to end?
im not sure what there use is and the more lawfull owners of those guns, the more oportunities to steal guns criminals have.
its certainly true that if guns were outlawed only outlaws would have guns,but the more guns there are in the market the more opportunities criminals have to steal these guns.
a street gun dealer might break into a gun store in tennessee and steal 100 guns and then sell them in new york or something.


Gun laws do not prevent people from having guns. When I lived in the DC metro area for close to a year with my husband, he told me that guns were illegal there. I still brought the .357 I had with me and carried it in my purse. I had a permit in Alabama, and carried legally down here, but up there it was a crime. I carried it anyway. I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Both have their purposes.
The M700 in .270 is a hunting rifle while the AR-15 and M4 are more tactical oriented.

True point, I live in the UK and we have strong gun control laws which do bugger all about access to illegal firearms.
Plus theres an technology issue now about firearms, 3D printers. Its just the case now that if you what a gun just make it yourself!
