"Saaaaaaaave the orphans..... wahhhh waahhh wahhh waaaah!"

 

[Al-Jim19]

Thank Christ no one can shoot for more than 4 hours, it's that 5th hour of shooting that usually causes me to go on a killing spree

 

[WallHack]

"A crime happened in our town, so what we need to limit is.... how long people can shoot on their own property" *eye roll*

 

[Golddiggie]

Just more fuddery from CT... How much do you want to bet that either a town in MA, or the entire state, will go a step further than that soon?

 

[atilla]

thank god, now 26 people can't die... oh, shit, wait. closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped.

people just don't get it. if someone is intent on causing harm to innocents--they'll do it. punishing those who do NOT wish to harm innocents only serves to make the world a more dangerous place. the more good guys out there who are proficient with firearms, the fewer shots the bad guys will get off/slashes with a knife, etc.

 

[AngelKing]

oh **** off.

Yeah. It's like a one uppery of what state can be the total alogical mess. "How can we make everyone more of a victim,... err, safe?"

Yup. Just like taking the keys away from sober people is the answer to stopping drunk driving accidents.

The ordinance says no resident may shoot for more than four hours after police are notified

How are you supposed to know when police are notified?

 

[AngelKing]

so if I shoot for 4 hours straight, go inside, take a half hour nap, can I resume?

Yes. That is perfectly alogical!

When they descend on you and kill your dogs...

Sounds like a good reason to be where the neighbors are FAR away and use suppressors on all your firearms...

 

[squatch413]

After four hours you'll have plenty of mags to reload for the next for hours, or do I just need more mags?

I was thinking the same. Never have enough mags. Uplula FTW too.

No shooting is allowed within a half-mile of a school.

That's great they extended the magic bubble around schools.

 

[Golddiggie]

If you have to ask if you need more mags, you NEED more mags... More standard (30 round) capacity mags too. Or get some SureFire 60 or 100 round mags. Hell, go for a few Beta Mags if you can afford them.







Oh, wait, you're in MA... Sorry about that... Sucks to have to pay too much just to get old mags in standard capacity.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Well, mags are ammo right, so like once you shoot them, they are gone.

 

[MetalgodZ]

Hundreds of people offered about 200 hours of testimony for the ordinance in the town where 20 children and six educators were fatally shot in an elementary school last December.

The ordinance says no resident may shoot for more than four hours after police are notified and shooting is limited to one person at a time.

Target backstops are required and must be 10 feet above the target.

Well, there certainly weren't any math majors involved here...

That's only been proven in the state of California.

[ToddDubya]

thank god, now 26 people can't die... oh, shit, wait. forcing someone else to close his barn door after your horse has already escaped.

FIFY

 

[ThePreBanMan]

I completely support this legislation. I'm sure its going to stop all the mad men from ever doing anything bad ever again. In fact this is a model for the entire country to follow. Because punishing and restricting the lawful has proven so successful in all other places its been done.

 

[taz-2005]

So by making unlawful to discharge a firearm on private proerty within a half mile of a school, they are taking your property, the same applies to how many hours you can shoot and how many at a time can shoot.

Does this just apply to private property? The story doesn't say. Also ironic that the NSSF is based there.

 

[Trackrat]

**** with them. Record sound of gunfire. Get nice (loud) outdoor speakers. Playback recording on endless loop.

Don't forget to mix in some belt fed and other fully automatics with that... Or just record the sounds from the pumpkin shoot...

 

[Sweeney]

I think it would be fun to see the reaction of the police if every few minutes they got notification of the intent to fire via text, email...however.
Just a constant barrage of 'notifications.

'To whom it may concern. I'm shooting". "...and again". "some more...".

 

[noddaduma]

Target backstops are required and must be 10 feet above the target.

How is that supposed to stop a bullet when it's floating 10 feet above the target? And how do you get it to float anyway?

 

[Hoover]

This isnt a reaction to the school shooting, it's a changing of the newtown population. I've seen articles, etc before the shooting there were complaints from some new residents about recreational target shooting. Newtown has a lot of new residents from NYC and they are anti gun and don't like the noise, etc.

This is the same issue as boston liberals moving out to the burbs or country and complaining about farm smells. I agree it is completely stupid but it's not directly related to the gun control push or the shooting.
