What happened to those children was horrible. Anyone who could do something
like that has a special place in Hell waiting for them. I have no answers as to
why people have taken to taking as many people with them as they can when
commiting suicide. Anger at the world I guess. Still, until that is addressed,
they will always find a way.... Punishing the innocent and law abiding because
of the actions of some nut is not the answer.
  
Every one of my semi-autos can shoot hollow points, 10/22 included, and some
are of a way larger caliber. So, any nutjob that wants to do those kinds of
things would have plenty of even more damaging options even if the AR platforms
were banned. It's a slippery slope and what could be banned next?

BTW, my M&P has to be broke open to even drop the magazine. I also don't like
the larger magazines and even in the Army we only had 10 and 20 round mags. Too
easy to get over-zealous and overheat and damage the barrel. I was not
impressed with the 5.56 and took up the 7.62 M-60 as my weapon with a .45
sidearm.

With that I will close, and from what I see, you have your views (not changing
them) and I have my views (not changing them).
