Take that same shotgun ...shorten the stock...saw off the barrel... then fire at the same target at 45 ft...then count all the holes in all the targets that get hit...assault weapon or not?

After that even Joe would say..."this is a big eff'en deal!"

besides the government buying up all that ammo, the FBI has changed their training to be close quarters combat. Supposedly to deal with mass murderers when they jump out at them from school rooms.
I think it's just an addition to the the UN training that is going on at some bases where the tactics have been on assulting US urban settings.
I'm glad thet are training for places like Eden Prairie and the metro first.

I think many of the people commenting on the video miss the point. The govt is going after the style of gun. Big deal. No change. How many of these shooters were on psychotropic drugs? A high percentage. Someone mentioned ban all guns. Will that work as good as it has in Chicago? (500 murders last year, ALL guns banned.)
Good job Stewart.

Why bogus quotations matter in gun debate...
http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/11/opinion/jefferson-fake-gun-quotation/index...

A cherished amendment, the second, and now with recent events, a renewal of the great debates...
Yes, I have a number of arms, many inherited from ancestors and some in very active use...
Deer Season is a cherished tradition in our household for example...
Folks I know call them Bambi and look so cute...
Others know them as vehicle hazzards and we're providing a service to thin the herd...
Both valid arguments however...
And I hope, this debate continues and inspires some new and creative ideas to reduce, and yet I fear, not eliminate the tragedies that we have seen lately...

And now THIS happens. Who can guess what type of prescription drugs they are on>?

Welcome to generation Rx

Just asking Stewart...

People assault rifles are like military rifles they are not designed to kill But to serious injure people. (if you wound a person you take out three people. Two people to carry the wounded person away)

I know that and almost bought one a while back. But look again, she's just posing for the photo. The stock isn't on her shoulder and she'd lose her eye if she fired it. Good luck to anyone trying to hide that under their coat or skirt.

they can outlaw ar-15's if they want.. There is so many out there it would just make the gun-ammo investors richer... Most Americans ain't stupid, no good man would give away his private party based on an illigetimate and unconstitutional law... Laws are only as good as the enforcement and I'd like to see the US enforce the removal of assault rifles...... The military are gun toters and most would go awol before they took the private property away from the father, farmer friend, etc... The whole debate is a joke... Who reading this article would hand over their gun to the federal gov't?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Only a crazy person--The guns will just go into the governing authorities hands making our gov't are more totalitarian than it already is.. hehe this debate cracks me up.... We need the district of columbia to secede from the union.. I don't even have many guns or an assault rifle but if I hear another word about restricting my freedom I will have alot

The term 'assault weapon' is a manufactured phrase that gun banners created to divide gun owners. It is just like 'Saturday Night Specials' and 'cop killer bullets'.

The guns they are attempting to ban function no differently than any other semiautomatic rifle, pistol, or shotgun. When they attempted to ban them before they tried to categorize them by describing mostly cosmetic features such as a pistol grip, flash hider, bayonet lug, and adjustable length stock. NONE of these features make a firearm more lethal.

Most of the rifles the gun banners are focused on right now fire the .223 Remington/5.56 cartridge. This is NOT a powerful rifle cartridge. It is most commonly used for varmints and is barely adequate for deer (and wasn't even legal for deer until within the last couple of years).

The effort to demonize and ban this small set of firearms will do nothing to prevent crime. It is just the first step of divide and conquer.

Spot on...

Amazing comments: Remember this...every comment and opinion is a moot point if you are not free. Freedom is the only reason all of you can be here commenting on anything. Once your freedom is taken from you....it would be very interesting to hear your sad opinions then. Study history people, because it does repeat itself.......and your all in the process of learning what that means regardless of your opinion. There is only one issue here and it is freedom. You better decide what that means to you and those you love. THis is a very serious issue. History is full of people who DIED to ensure you have the freedom you enjoy. That is quiet a price to pay....must have been important.

Reading all these comments is like documenting the Galactically stupid. Please, those of you with obuma stickers on your cars.....do not remove them. That does not make me a republician either.
