Gun Lobby Defends School Guard Plan
Schumer, Lieberman Blast Plan for More Guns

On NBC, Graham said he himself owns an AR-15, the type of assault rifle used by 20-year-old Adam Lanza in Newtown.

“I own an AR-15. I've got it at my house. The question is if you deny me the right to buy another one, have you made America safer?” he asked. “I don't suggest you take my right to buy an AR-15 away from me because I don't think it will work, and I do believe better security in schools is a good place to start.”

Yes.

He should give the money to the Conservative, Republican, Teabags that are receiving any govt. benefits. That way he would be fighting America's greatest enemy;Socialism.

I plan to buy an AR-15 this coming year. It's a great weapon.

7   marcus   @   2012 Dec 24, 7:56am  

Yes. I have to admit, it's WAY COOLER than that 007 toy gun I got back in 1965.

United Kingdom Legal with mods - "a person must provide an exceptional reason and gain permission from the Home Secretary, making ownership all but impossible for a private citizen"

No way an AR-15 in the UK is getting into the hands of anyone.

an AR-15 is a Human hunting rifle!

It did pretty well targeting 6 year olds. Please reconsider.

If someone were to break into his home and steal one AR-15, that's one rifle in the hands of a criminal. If TWO AR-15s are stolen that's potentially TWO rifles in the hands of two separate criminals. So yes, in that case America IS safer.

Hey, its only an inanimate object.

FYI.. many gun owners have locked down gun safes.

Maybe, but how many owners DON'T keep their guns in a safe figuring - rightly - that keeping their gun in a safe is a hindrance to the very reason for having the damn thing in the first place? When a strung out meth addicted baby raper has broken into your home the last thing you want to do is try to remember the combination to your safe, THEN load the gun, and only then go protect your family.

16   Moderate Infidel   @   2012 Dec 26, 1:53am  

AR-15's aren't for home protection, they are for defending outside against large groups of people. For home protection you use a 12 gauge shotgun or handgun. Unless of course you live in a castle with very large rooms and stone walls so the bullets don't over penetrate and go into your neighbors house.

lots and lots of gun owners do have gun safes....

how often do you hear of hundreds or thousands of AR-15 being stolen...

else do you have heard about this.. but your spreading fear and not facts...

Aparantly lots and lots of gun owners HAVE heard of criminals stealing guns. Not much point investing in a safe otherwise.

There are many, many more out there. What's REALLY scary is how many of these were stolen from the police!

Ok. So long as my leg is tied to a string attached to the trigger on that AR-15 that's pointed directly at your head.

That is, so long as we are making equivalent comparisons.

Um, sure, OK.

I've always said ..... the most dangerous people are the self-haters
and Lindsey Graham will be a self-hater until he finally comes out.

Considering how overpopulated we are, maybe this is a good thing.

There is no human dignity in this comment.

Try saying something meaningfully appropriate to the thread subject Soft Ruki!

Instead of Trolling!

Your not capable are you.

Thousands of kids, and many more adults, die each year for petty conveniences:

Hairdryers, Can Openers, Electric Knives, Pools, Plastic Bags, Hot Dogs (#1 Choking Death Food for Children) , etc.

A few hundred dying because of a device that can save lives is paltry.

So why compare in the first place !? You are comparing accidents not MURDERS of elementary school children. What wrong with you?
