Retailers start to pull some rifles from shelves

it not the guns killing people its nut jobs who choose to use the guns..if you take away the guns they will just use other weapons like home made bombs..or swords....parents need to understand if thier child is disturbed get them help..dont say hes my son he would never kill any one..thats bullcrap..

To penalize the law abiding citizens for the act of one nut is ridiculus. The knee jerk reaction by the elected officials is scary. They have, by their threats to restrict guns and ammo, has convinced me, along with thousands of others who never even thought of buying a gun, to go out and get one now. How about limiting the size of the magazines, lengthen the waiting period so that a real back round check can be done. Hold to hose who cannot secure their guns properly accountable......

Government reaction scares the hell out of me. As tragic as this incident is, we still forget that those nut jobbers always seem to get the weapon they need one way or another. NO EASY ANSWER.

@Dfpotec: of course you wont eliminate mass murder, that's not the point. Its big companies, doing their small part to try and do SOME good, however small it may be.... Its a gesture, a statement, and a step in the right direction. They aren't trying to eliminate it completely with this decision, you're missing the point.

When I first read this I didn't understand the logic, but i had someone explain a theory... if these stores stop selling automatic weapons, and only sell single ammo, etc, then that's less people who MAY get their hands on that sort of weapon to do large amounts of damage. And of course they can go elsewhere to get it, but maybe the decision to stop selling such weapons to the public will catch on... who knows.

And yes, they can find other ways to do mass destruction, but the point is to make it HARDER, not EASIER for them to do so. Stop being negative and embrace the POSITIVE gestures that are coming from this awful situation....

We can't just take away the toys of millions of self-centered, selfish, "I got mine" American patriots!!! Heck those people earned the right to bear arms, any kind of arms, the day they were born a read-blooded American, natural hero. How unjust! How unfair! It's their right and one that they earned through hard work and faithful dues paying to the NRA.

Ain't life a bear!!! Guess they can ignore the pictures of those innocent kids and their teachers?

I wish these gun activists would get together at a national rallye or meet and have a championship where they get a chance to use their guns in some sort of combat game. Of course we could let them use their 30 round clips and live ammo to play! They are a bunch of selfish idiots in my book!!
