Automatic weapons are basically banned so that would be very far fetched. They cost thousands, you need a federal stamp to own one. But yes according to Margit and the rules of LT this type of discussion does not belong here. She has made this very clear several times And to add to that this typ

Unless of course an unstable gunman with a fully automatic military grade  assault rifle comes to our town, to our school… But that would never ever happen, right? Not in the ivory tower of Lincoln or the lush suburbs of Newtown, CT. It would NEVER happen here…. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhon

It seems to me this string is a national political debate and not a Lincoln-specific topic. A town message forum focused on hyper-local issues does not seem like the right place for this type of back and forth. Hopefully this thread can end and this discussion can be shifted elsewhere. Plenty

Excuse me-hope and prayers have gotten us nowhere! The bloodshed continues. Of course we are distraught and pray that we can move BEYOND hope and prayers to action that might, just might have a chance of stopping the bloodshed. I can balance sorrow and rage at the same time. -- Sara Mattes

I totally agree. The Republican Senators should be ashamed. They have been stonewalling gun reform legislation because they are beholden to the gun lobby. Power and money is what they are about. This week, the Governor of Texas (Greg Abbot), Ted Cruz, and Trump will be speaking at the National R
