Mr. Bye’s article, “gun allowance,” in the Jan. 24 issue was a good discussion on the topic until his last sentence. Mr. Bye states he can “get along fine without a fully automatic high capacity assault rifle designed to kill other people.”
That was a biased statement with incorrect information.
The weapon he describes is not fully automatic, it is semiautomatic. A big difference, and only the military has the fully automatic models. They are not assault rifles because they look like the military models.
Other than looks, they operate as and have no more fire power than the common semiautomatic deer rifle. The design items that make them look like a military rifle are for functionality, which are also useful for hunters.
The shotgun used by Mr. Bye filled with five rounds of buckshot will kill more students in a classroom in far less time than the weapon he’s demonizing.
In other words, the rifles that only look like military assault rifles are no more dangerous than a common shotgun. Outlawing one weapon will not remove the risks posed by ill-intentioned people.
Everyone should watch the video prepared by Fleet Farm in Baxter. Go to YouTube and type in “Duck hunting shotgun proven to be more dangerous than a Huldra AR15.” The video will convince you.

Where does it say that RWNS? Our CONSTITUTION says different! I side with the Constitution!!!!!!!
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the RIGHT of the people to KEEP and BEAR ARMS, SHALL NOT be infringed.
LOL! since when has fringe Nutz.
been civliized in any of his posts? ( except those that agree with his extremist lib childiology)
You whackos haven't outgrown playing with your toy guns...
I quit playing cowboys and indians with my toy guns when I was about 7 years old. You gun-nuts are still totally obsessed with your toys and your gun-orgy.
Earth to whackos: I have NEVER had a reason, whatsoever, for the paranoia that you extremist gun-nuts display continuously. I have never needed a gun, have never been in a position where I wished I had one to shoot another person (despite once being a victim in an armed robbery), and don't need to rant about some dillusional gang of bad guys or tyrants comin' to get me.
Do you have any idea how incredibly paranoid and stupid you Three Stooges appear? Of course you wouldn't, because you are fricken' crazy!
Yeah we are the crazy ones
Good one RWNs! I suppose who robbed you had a gun made out of legos or a paper gun...lol

Dapa2 is finally right about "Yeah we are the crazy ones"
When I came into a business, the robber suprised me with a sawed-off shotgun and a .38 poked in my belly. Then he continued his armed robbery. If I had a gun, and he saw it, he would have shot me for sure. There was no possible way anyone could have drawn a gun, Clint Eastwood-style, under these circumstances. Instead, I did as he said and stood with a couple other customers quietly, while making a good mental note of his description and his distinctive voice. Our testimony convicted the SOB/POS.
How do I know he would have shot me, if he saw that I had a gun? He shot his accomplice 5 times and murdered him a few hours later over a game of pool. He was convicted of the murder separately.
But then this happened dozens of years ago, when no citizen in his right mind went around like an azzhole carrying a gun in order to compensate for his inferiority complex, like you whackos do.
It's nice that Extreme Nutz out grew
Cowboys and indians
Now if only she'd outgrow that childish urge to steal other peoples money.
Yeah, That's Believable, Not
Nutty you have to start your fiction with 'Once upon a time.'
Sleepy, whose money am I stealing? It's nap-time, Sleepy.
Just a guess, Sleepy, but based on your disdain for education, and your idiotic posts, you must be in a low socio-economic status. Am I right?
Anyway, I'd bet that I pay a whole hellafalot more taxes than you, or the other Three Stooges (except, of course, the billionaire from Lonsdale Dapa2). [filtered word] lives in his parent's basement, and Jaysoffhisrocker can't even afford to pay for health insurance for him and his family, so he freeloads off the rest of us.
As an extremist liberal cheerleader Nutz
I'd have to bet you're a 47 % er. A true parasite on society just like your childish Occupy pals and I'd lay off the freeloader label if I were you Nutz, they seem to be the base of you partyalong with illegals, felons and dead people
And I have no distain for edjumacation, I do dispise the union hacks and libtard acitvists that have taken over the system and turned it into a funding mechanism for the DNC
Hey Nutty, where's all yur
Hey Nutty, where's all yur friends?
Maybe they are calling the FCC. LMAO

More Nutty Fantasies
Nutty says, "I'd bet that I pay a whole hellafalot more taxes than you..."
Prove it Nutty. Otherwise it is just another one of your many lies.
Excellent vid Big
Excellent vid Big Johnson!
Thanks for posting it.
Looks like extremist Nutz lied, again .
Again
from the liberal proposed gun laws .
H.F. No. 241, as introduced - 88th Legislative Session (2013-2014)
10.8(f) Persons acquiring an assault weapon by inheritance, bequest, or succession shall,
10.9within 120 days of acquiring title, do one of the following:
10.10(1) surrender the weapon to a law enforcement agency for destruction; or
10.11(2) modify the weapon to render it permanently inoperable.
10.12(g) Each chief of police and sheriff shall do the following regarding assault weapons
Nutz lied again for his masters claiming "no one is going to take your guns.
They aint gettin mine! "Any
They aint gettin mine!

There already is knife control.
Considering that unhunged gun-nuts, like Jaysoffhisrocker, illegally carry their guns inside 'banks and schools", we can only assume you whackos violate the existing laws on carying knives in prohibited places. You primitive knuckle-draggers wouldn't know it, but knife restrictions already exist in a civilized society in some places.
Nutty is Funny
Nutty is too dense to see the irony in his last statement. When you are as inconsistant in your thoughts, as Nutty, it helps him to be a dimwit.
Nutty is like an annoying
Nutty is like an annoying Fly.
Nutty, Go join yer other annoying Liberal Fly's and find a turd to sit on!
I see Extremist Nutz
Had nothing to say about the libs proposal to confiscate guns, But ignoring the lies of the left has been a hobby of hers for a while.
As for calling people Knuckle draggers? I've seen far more of that thuggish at type of behaviour at an SEIU or a Teamster whineathon(protest) than from any conservatives.
Poor Fringe Nutz,I almost feel sorry for you, perhaps you should scamper back to DUh underground or Salon.bankrupt where your extremist and childlike idealogy is considerd normal
LMAO Sleepr!
LMAO Sleepr!
Another ignorant gun grabber (Like Nutz) exposed
"MNCarry.org
Appears to be another successful effort in the hearings for the assault weapon and high capacity magazine ban. One of our supporters got clearance to bring in two Ruger 10/22's, one with wood hardware and the other 'dressed up' with all the assault rifle items. You could almost hear the pee hitting the floor from the gun grabbers. In the end, the chair (Paymar) seemed quite speechless, and admitted to not knowing much about guns. He asked for another demonstration so more of the members could see for themselves, as it directly pertained to the bill and items that they claimed made a rifle, an 'assault rifle'.
This needs repeating for the Nutz inclined libs
" (Paymar) seemed quite speechless, and admitted to not knowing much about guns."
"admitted to not knowing much about guns."
"admitted to not knowing much about guns."
"admitted to not knowing much about guns."
"admitted to not knowing much about guns."
Yet he's on this committee

Hmmmm, I didnt see that on the news last night but they did cover our Mentally Ill Governorns call to make Gay Marriage legal.
