This man sums it up my sentiments exactly. He is a school teacher as well as a gun enthusiast. If you have a half hour please watch.

The caliber is the same, the bullet weight and construction, case size and powder charge are different, along with the .22 being a rimfire instead of a center fire.

The ever dreaded AR-15 is really just a .22 on steroids. If they ever do get the AR banned the next on the list will be the scoped high powered .30 caliber “Sniper” hunting rifle.

It would only take one well placed round to take out the shooter. A. Lanza was there to kill as many as possible to make the evening news, an armed teacher need only take out one, the shooter. It does not matter what kind of weapon the madman has, it still only takes one shot to neutralize the threat. As it was, Lanza killed himself when he heard the police sirens. I would wager if the coward would have seen a teacher with a 9mm aimed at him he would have done the same as when he heard the sirens and killed himself.

Adam Lanza was a broken toy, and that is the direction we need to look if we really want to stop these events from happening. That and getting rid of the ineffective “Gun Free Zones”.

I am not trying to “publish lies” I am sorry if the facts I relay here don’t meet your ideals. I am not going to attack you except only to say that I am not a lier as you have called me. You say that NY’s crime rate is about what SF SD is… here are some facts the way I have understood them: according to city-data.com, the crime index for SF in 2010 per 100,000 was 252.5. And according to wikipedia.com that same figure for NY in the same time frame was 581.7. Now the way I follow that, SF, SD is a much safer place to be.
Yes NY’s crime rate has dropped, but why…(sorry for the for the ability to cut and paste, just is a product of the computor age I guess). Again according to wikipedia.org: “Crime in New York City was high in the 1980s during the Mayor Edward I. Koch years, as the crack epidemic hit New York City, and peaked in 1990, the first year of Mayor David Dinkins’ administration (1990–1994). During the administration of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (1994–2002), there was a precipitous drop in crime in his first term, continuing at a slower rate in both his second term and under Mayor Michael Bloomberg (2002–present).
Many commentators have suggested that the New York City Police Department’s adoption of CompStat, broken windows policing, and other strategies during the administration of Rudolph Giuliani were responsible for the drop in crime, some studies argued that the dramatic reduction in crime was strongly correlated with the increases in the number of police officers that started under Mayor Dinkins and continued through the Giuliani administration.” It did not say it was b/c of tighter gun control, at least not in what I could find here.

Automatic weapons are heavily restricted under ATF rulings. Civilians can own automatic weapons, though only through strict Class III certification as well as regulated inspections from the ATF.

Even the dreaded AR is just a semi-automatic rifle that only fires once per trigger pull. No different than a Ruger 10/22 22 caliber rifle with a 10 – 50 round magazine, just a bigger caliber.

Ever considered you are in perpetual denial thinking that if you don’t believe something is true, you can post that belief here over and over, and it will become truth?

I’m not going to pretend I know how radical someone is to cross the desert and leave possessions behind. Or what items terrorists are going to dump, before trying to blend into our population.

Here’s a story you can choose to not believe…http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-983961.html. I’m pretty sure, it’s not the only story out there, if you take the time to look.
