@PearlandDotCom : I think their approach is reasonable except as they sate, "We will no longer sell assault-style rifles, also referred to as modern sporting rifles." The 2nd Amendment is not to assure we have hunting rifles. The 2nd Amendment is not to assure we can protect ourselves from an armed robber for example. The text, in the ratified version of the Amendments says, "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." The right to bear arms is so that we can protect ourselves from our government. I want people to have reasonable firepower to deter any government attempt to take over our free state. Just my $0.02 worth. We also need to address the issues that cause people to use weapons against innocents.

I never bought anything there anyway. Just another reason not to step foot in the door.
Must be Liberal owned. Typical "knee jerk" Liberal reaction. Let's limit the rights of the mass because of the action of a few. No ones listening to the facts and background in this school shooting case. Gun is just a tool, just looks me a hammer is to a nail.

I don't think this will do anything.

@PearlandDotCom : way to go Dick's😊. I don't support banning all guns but who really needs an AK or multi shot magazines? It takes only one good shot to stop home invaders. And only one to take out a buck, rabbit or birds. REALLY!

@Cgfhoosier : you are absolutely correct, it won't

@shirleyjhall : that is your opinion & I respect your right to voice it. Just like it is another person to disagree. Not a gun owner nor do I ever plan to be, but should I be able to force my views and change the laws because I don't agree with them, I think not.

@DrewLundgren : Not to mention the fact that they didn't carry them in the first place. They're just grabbing free publicity.

@shirleyjhall : You're assuming that a person will always break into your home alone, that you can accurately hit a vital ararea in life or death situations where you and the target are both moving and adrenaline pumping, none of which is true. Also, in hunting, you often use at least a second shot to finish an animal so it won't suffer. However, the reason rifles like the AR-15 are used is for hunting feral hogs, who travel in groups of four or five and often attack hunters. In the old days, hunters would have to carry a backup, normally a large caliber pistil, in case attacked. It's much safer to have many rounds available in your firearm that is at the ready. For personal protection in Houston, not only from robber but also wild dogs that have killed people and attacked friends of mine and their pets, a pistol while out walking is a great idea. If attacked by a lone animal, you can often fire a shot into the soft ground to scare it away, as I have had occasion to do. If attacked by a pack, you have to take them down until they stop attacking or they can kill you. I understand where your fear comes from. Part of it is lack of knowledge. If you ever want to learn firsthand about guns, even firing and cleaning some to gain a better understanding, my wife and I will be happy to help. Just remember, gun owners are not super human and this is why we want multiple rounds at the ready to defend ourselves. We all want the same thing as you, a better world for ourselves and our children. We just don't always agree on the path.

@davidpetersonharvey : Amen. Well said. I've always said having a gun is a privilege and an honor and one that must be taken seriously. It's our American history and I'll be dang if I have that privilege & honor or what gun I can have taken away from me because a few abuse it.
"Today" it's - take assault rifles/take high capacity clips away.
"In 6 months"- it will be let's take automatic weapons/low capacity clips away.
"Next Year"- it will be let's take revolvers away and shotguns also.
Then let's take knives away. Those guns are what keep honest law abiding citizens safe. I bet many here are afraid to walk across some parking lots at night or go to certain areas if they need to. Yes, you have to be careful BUT if you are trained and prepared you immediately receive a piece of mind that restores your confidence and frankly, I'd rather be confident than walking around scared. There are so many firearm training programs around now at civic centers, shooting ranges, even some churches are having once a month CHL classes. Fear comes from the unknown.
When I met my wife 26 years ago she disliked guns. I worked for Texas Dept. Of Corrections. In a town the size of Houston it was not unusual for us to be out at a movie or out eating and someone walk up and say "Hey Boss, you remember me"? Happened on several occasions. I have always been licensed to carry a weapon since then. I started taking my wife to the gun range with me years ago. After the second trip my wife looked at me and said, "THIS IS FUN"! 26 years later at least every couple of months my wife reminds me ! "Honey, lets go shoot our pistols and then go get something to eat"!
At the range we shoot at they have "Ladies Night". I can't understand why anyone would NOT want to replace that scared uneasy feeling toward firearms with one of confidence and peace of mind that you can protect yourself and your loved ones.
