number of deaths and severe injuries...there's no good reason not to do this, given the ZERO benefit to society from having them in those weapons in the public's hands...

Let's DO THIS...

    - You're focused on the means rather than the motive. - iairishcheeks - 7:46am 8/30/25
      - There's a reason why our military chose the AR-15 and its ammunition...more efficient killing and - TyroneIrish - 1:34pm 8/30/25
        Actually it was for lighter weight, less recoil and higher mag capacity. - iairishcheeks - 2:01pm 8/30/25
        Here's what a .223 round does to a human being's body...just imagine what happens to kids... - TyroneIrish - 2:09pm 8/30/25
        And yet, it'd take a perfect shot to kill an Elk. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 2:18pm 8/30/25
        Not so perfect a shot to kill or maim a child though...why do you ramble off when the issue involves - TyroneIrish - 2:24pm 8/30/25
        Are you saying you'd be happy to have children killed by 22LR? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 4:16pm 8/30/25
        Of course not...but the likelihood of bolt action .22s being used in mass shootings is remote. Let's - TyroneIrish - 6:56pm 8/30/25
    - Why do you think we need .22LR bolt action guns? - NedoftheHill - 6:03am 8/30/25
      - Your first question... - TyroneIrish - 11:06am 8/30/25
        You intend to replace the 2nd Amendment with a "sporting right" amendment? - NedoftheHill - 3:54pm 8/30/25

        You realize that a skilled shooter can kill a person at 1000 yds with a ".30 type" bolt action rifle - iairishcheeks - 11:42am 8/30/25
        Yes, but far fewer would be killed..."Perfect is the Enemy of Good"...let's do all we can to Reduce - TyroneIrish - 12:18pm 8/30/25
        You're advocating for 22 LR, the 2nd most common firearm traced to crime. - iairishcheeks - 12:26pm 8/30/25
        I'm advocating for "Bolt Action" .22's...you know as well as I do that the casualty/death rate would - TyroneIrish - 12:33pm 8/30/25
        No it wouldn't, we should be happy the Trans-Nut didn't realize 5.56 doesn't go through church pews. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 12:35pm 8/30/25
        A bolt action .22 LR wouldn't either and the number of rounds fired would be a whole lot less, thus - TyroneIrish - 1:50pm 8/30/25

        Why ignore the very real threat that's already in play...Assault Rifles? [NT] - TyroneIrish - 2:26pm 8/30/25
      - Your second question first... - TyroneIrish - 10:46am 8/30/25
        You think the 2nd Amendment is the only one of the Bill of rights assuring state authority/power? - NedoftheHill - 3:59pm 8/30/25
        How about responding to Justice Warren Burger’s statement on the 2nd Amendment…you know, - TyroneIrish - 4:12pm 8/30/25
