"...and everyone...please, PLEASE stop picking on poor defensless M16s. The poor little things have done nothing wrong. It is only when bad people use them that people get killed. So please stop picking on the weapon.
Thanks."
How do ya pick on an inanimate object of metal and plastic?

might as well start WW3.
No way. Ask lazs...more guns equals less crime and more saftey for all."
Actually there are provable stat's that just such a thing works, at least in the U.S. Over 30 states now allow people to carry concealed weapons. This trend has been steadly growing for some years and crime has been dropping in every state where these concealed carry has become allowed. D.C. is the murder capitol of the U.S. D.C. where no one may own any firearm.

when was the last time an m16 was used against citizens by a criminal? When was the last time one was used in a crime?
maybe a time or two every few years at most... hardly worth mentioning unless you are a lying scumbag, sensation seeking politician.
would probably be used more if you could just walk down to the nearest gun store and buy one though...thanks for supporting my point"
Supporting???
Hmm then you are not aware that the weapons addressed here are perfectly legal in several different forms? You can buy (m16 types, m14/m1a types, FAL, HKG3, SKS, AK Types, CETME, bushmaster, BAR, browning M30, etc..) in semi-auto version? However the full-automatic version of all these are illegal without a BATF and state license!
"*shrug* works for me...but my position still stands, you dont need a m-16 to defend yourself and the harder it is for criminals to get that sort of weapon the easier it is for families to protect themselves"
I disagree, my position is, this position does NOT stand anywhere in anyway. You or me or anyone could find themselves in a position that required allot of fire power! Who can see into the future? Who can tell what tomorrow will bring? Another L.A. Riot with shops being burned? Another L.A. Riot where several shop keepers, using semi-automatic weapons, drove away would be looters? Where sections of the neigbhorhood blocked off their streets with barricades and stood armed at those barricades fending off all comers UNTIL law enforcement finally showed up.
Who decides for anyone what they may or may not be need to defend themselves and their families? Where did this RIGHT to decide for others come from? Why does it seem there are so many people minding other peoples business??
Your saying some lieing, cheating, on someones payroll over and above the salary taken from the people, politician should have the right to decide for me? Some appiontee placed in position by the above? The people? They aren't, not a one of em, supposed to have the right to trample my rights!
The NEA no longer supports the teaching of the Preamble to the Bill of Rights. Don't seem to wanna teach the Bill of Rights anymore either. After all if you don't know your rights how can you know when their being violated?
Oh and BTW the criminals prefer the small eazy to conceal 9mm weapons vs the larger harder to hide m16 types.
And criminal types generally turn away from people that are armed because they don't wanna get hurt or killed. After all there are plenty of unarmed people to prey upon.
Hmmm did everyone posting actually read the article?
