President Obama: 'Michelle and I are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in Colorado' - White House Statement

Dan Slott @DanSlott

Prayers and thoughts go out to the victims of the Aurora shooting and their families and friends.

Dan Slott @DanSlott

I'm angry. Upset. Frustrated. Can someone please explain to me why anyone in America SHOULD own an AK rifle? Why does ANY citizen need that?

Dan Slott @DanSlott

I'm serious. Not talking about "taking all your guns away," I'm talking about LIMITS to that level of fire power. No one NEEDS an AK rifle.

James Ryan @jamesryan

@DanSlott @bookishbelle Every1 should own 1. If a law abiding gun owner had been there, they might have killed that guy after few shots

Dan Slott @DanSlott

.@jamesryan No. Everyone should NOT own one. If a "law abiding" person there ALSO had an AK rifle, things would have been WORSE.

Dan Slott @DanSlott

.@jamesryan The person there had 4 guns. I'm not even talking about the hand guns they had. I'm talking about the AK Rifle. Who NEEDS that?

Dad The Savage @DadTheSavage

@DanSlott @jamesryan should we outlaw knives, hammers, nail guns etc? I'm not being glib. How far do you take protecting society frm itself?

Dan Slott @DanSlott

.@djb_in_cbus @jamesryan Owning an AK rifle to me is on par w/ someone having access to a bazooka. No citizen needs that level of firepower.

Dan Slott @DanSlott

I'm listening to a police officer describe the AK rifle as a "military grade weapon." No more American citizen should own this TYPE of gun.

Mayhem Comics & Games @MayhemComics

@DanSlott so hypothetically, you don't care if authorities feel no hesitation our worry storming your home if they decide on a whim?

Dan Slott @DanSlott

.@MayhemComics Yes. I have NO reasonable fear of the "authorities" or others "storming my home." No citizen NEEDS that much firepower.

Mario Candelaria @TheOtherMarioC

@DanSlott @mayhemcomics I don't think that is a reasonable fear to have if you aren't doing something wrong or hiding something.

Mayhem Comics & Games @MayhemComics

@TheOtherMarioC @DanSlott everyone, that is hypothetical. Never said that was my position, aHYPOTHETICAL/devils advocate thought. Ty

Dan Slott @DanSlott

We SHOULD have limits to what arms we can own. It's common sense. Can you own a bazooka? A nuclear bomb? NO! AK rifles should be illegal.

Matt Archer @ArcherBTP

@DanSlott There are limits. If the rifle is only capable of semi then its no more than a rifle with expensive ammo And you can own a bazooka

Dan Slott @DanSlott

.@RivalGoalie_BTP Seriously? You can own a bazooka? Is this for real? What world are we living in? I don't understand this at all.

Matt Archer @ArcherBTP

@DanSlott Yes you can legally own a rocket launcher. But, the bg check and yearly annual fee for said license is roughly 4k.

Dan Slott @DanSlott

.@RivalGoalie_BTP I have to be honest with you, that terrifies me.

Dan Slott @DanSlott

Yes. I could happily live in a world where "collectors" aren't allowed to have AK rifles in their collections. Get a non-working replica.

Dan Slott @DanSlott

If people can "illegally" obtain an AK rifle "anyway," DOESN'T mean they SHOULD be available legally. Common sense needs to start somewhere.

C. Allen Ricketts @AllenRicketts

@DanSlott Blaming a piece of metal and not the shitheads who didn't notice a guy with a rifle walking into a theater.

Dan Slott @DanSlott

.@AllenRicketts Trying to reasonably look at 1 facet of this. I agree w/ u. But I don't think that should stop us from asking THIS question.

Dan Slott @DanSlott

No. I'm not "blaming the NRA." I'm not pointing that finger. I'm asking a reasonable question: Why does ANY (cont) http://t.co/9Kb4tqPO

@DanSlott in Canada, there are plenty of hobbyists that have organized shooting competitions, you can be interested in guns w/o killing
