Cue avalanche of gun geek indignation.

The Executive Branch has been unilaterally extending its authority for a very, very long time. I wonder when congress will decide they don't want to become irrelevant. I bet Democrats will refuse to do anything about it.

Related to this specific issue, its a shame some people actually believe when they're told it has to do with protecting the children and preventing future incidents. It has nothing to do with that, and it will have no impact.

Yeah, the argument that lowering the circulation of (semi-)automatic guns and limiting magazine capacity might have a positive impact on gun related deaths clearly is delusional, and nothing more than a smokescreen. In truth, as every clear-headed independant non-indoctrinated thinker can see, your government wants to eliminate all chances of an armed uprising after the imminent fascist takeover (with the help of the UN which are controlled by the Bilderberg group and/or glibbery space aliens). Now if you'll excuse me, Glenn Beck is on. :roll:

Typical authoritarian leftist hand-puppet response: appeal to ridicule.

In truth, much of what you just sarcastically said is quite correct.

The writing is (finally!) on the wall for the US obsession with guns.

Not even close. This is nothing but a lot of grandstanding and collateral damage. There will be backlash, too.

About two to four seconds for a pistol; three to five seconds for a rifle, with most of the variation being due to how you are carrying the magazines.

About ten to twenty seconds for a revolver, or a rifle or shotgun with a tubular magazine.

I just checked with the Palmetto State Armory, the company who made my AR-15. They're still fresh out of stock on...everything.

How to make perfectly safe world in few simple steps:

1.) ban assault rifles
2.) ban all firearms
3.) ban all knives
4.) ban all that apparently harmless objects that fucking ninjas use as lethal weapons, including but not excluded to:
- nunchaks
- sticks
- chains
- screwdrivers
- bottles
- Fender Stratocasters
- etc
5.) ban pavement, because you can lift someone up and slam them on pavement
6.) ban sharp edges, cos you can push people into them
7.) ban floors. You can throw people off them
8.) ban snakes. Also ban planes, obviously
9.) ban paper. Papercuts are no laughing matter.
10.) ban coconuts.
11.) ban dogs.

Fuck, ban humans. Also bears.

Addendum: Ban Politicians. They clearly killed more people that all bosses of Cosa Nostra & Yakuza combined.
