This video is so ridiculous. Normally I love RT, but this is just silly. They wanted more anti-gun people but couldn't find any so they cherry picked every single European tourist they found.

"Truth is just an idea that is in or out of fancy."  Bloomberg and his ilk continue to attempt to mislead the American public regarding the reality behind firearms and firearms sales in the United States.  He should focus more on solving the problems of New York City rather than venture into areas outside his control and understanding.  Bloomberg should read and understand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  He is so creepy!

Fear is a hell of a thing...

Its sad how the media can take a tragedy and scare people into handing over there rights. The things our forefathers were willing to fight and die for can now be taken away by saying boo.

You can't make killing people any more illegal than it already is.

"We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions." - Ronald Reagan

Maybe we should ban murder! Then that guy REALLY wouldn't have been able to kill anybody at all!

and if there were no firearms, no one would ever dream of filling a rental truck with fertilizer and kerosene and setting it off in front of a large building that included a day care....should we limit the size of trucks and how much fertilizer people can purchase?

Magazine limits are a slippery slope and a dangerous precedent. Crazy nut jobs will always exist, and there are plenty of common items they can use to commit horrible acts. You can't legislate the risk out of life...remember "people who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."
