Maybe when people come up with regulations that actually work and don't restrict the rights of your average person, sure.

And decidedly different hydrostatic shock profile from a .223 round. i wouldbt want to be shot with either, but beggars be choosers, I'd much rather be plinked by a .223 round than turned into soup on the inside by a 7.62x39mm round.

Disgusting. There is already a procedure for getting rid of politicians you don't like -- it's called VOTING.

Hope they recover, and hope the shooter is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

It wouldn't matter which one hit you there, without immediate medical attention you would be dead in 10 minutes or less

Dunno, depends on lots of things. If you want to reduce gun violence you need to tackle poverty and the drug war.

That will do more to lower gun crime than any of the retarded gun control ideas people trot out.
