I have traveled around a good deal. If it wasnt for family connections I would be living in Europe now. I believe you are right about people travelling and exploring the world more, but the conclusion I disagree with. Lets also be clear Communism is dead, u have just a few countries left that have some sort of communist government. Even China is some sort of Communist Dictatorship, Capitalist economy. So I think it is people in the US dont travel around and see how free other people are.
The most violent areas of Chicago are also closer to Indiana with very very lax gun laws. No coincidence that a HUGE amount of guns used in Chicago come from Indiana, not Illinois. So it isnt because of Chicago guns laws, it is because Chicago shares a border with a state that has no problem with well basically gun running into Chicago.
Job opening at CBS.

Many militaries of the world stopped using rifles that have a fully automatic setting. They found that semi-automatic operation or 3-rnd burst was more effective. The UK, Canada, and Australia(?) took their stores of L2A1 automatics (FN FAL) and re-fitted them with 3 parts to stop them from being used for full automatic fire. These are the most desirable because the L2A1 barrel was superior.
the military is correct, in most battlefield applications full auto is just an ammo waster, 3 round bursts are far more efficient
307,000 vets may have died awaiting VA care, report says - CNNPolitics
"The report said an internal VA investigation in 2010 found staffers had hidden veterans' applications in their desks so they could process them at a later time, but human resources later recommended the staffers responsible not be disciplined."
When are we going to outlaw useless career bureaucrats and the bureaucrats who protect them?
Let us be clear that was a LONG standing problem under administrations from BOTH parties I am not blaming politicians from a particular party.
Gun control isn't about saving lives, if it was liberals would be looking to change things that cause greater lose of life.

The same excuse for every mass shooting. Nothing to see here folks, move on. It is just a deranged individual here and a deranged individual there. Just a minor problem of a few mental mad caps getting hold of guns. We can fix it by arming every one with more powerful guns.
That didn't take long. But was expected.
When you consider all the ultra-violent programming CBS puts on the tube each week, I'd think they would have the sense to keep their mouths shut.
do you know that more people in the US die in swimming pools than are killed by gun violence? should we ban swimming pools?
Care to elaborate? I have several and I disagree. I would guess 90% of AR owners wouldn't have a clue how to do it. Even those who know how it could be done, do not have the expertise.
My AR's have full auto BCG's but where would I get a sear? I don't have a machine shop or the plans.
He said easily. The newer ones are not that easy to convert, not easy or cheap anyway, and the older ones that are, aren't anywhere as common or cheap.
Since you don't appear to read replies to your posts, and you are repeating the same fallacy for a second time:
Semi-automatic rifles that fire from the open bolt are banned from production for over 30 years unless licensed as fully automatic, which is difficult to impossible. These were easy to convert.
It's not as easy as you think to make a closed bolt design go full auto.
It can be done, but it's a felony, and requires some significant machinist and gunsmithing skills. Not impossible, just not for rookies either.
But since you are so sure, tell what a FN FAL requires to be fully automatic that is different from the semi-automatic version.
Ironically, you made a very good point. Crimainals break laws, thats why they are criminals. They will be able to get a gun whether its legal or not, unless you rid the entire world of guns. Thats not happening. Now go look up other areas of strict gun control in the us, and see how it correlates with gun crime.
This is a very simple concept to understand. If someone goes to commit a gun crime, which victim do you think they will pick? An unarmed one, or one that might shoot back? If anyone cannot understand something this basic, then either there isnt much upstairs, or there is an unmentioned agenda......
Very true, very useless made up term. Its getting very old hearing this "fake news" stuff, and it being gobbled up by the ignorant that argue stuff they have no clue about.
