No one has corrected me on anything in this reply thread. In fact, you are the only one who has gone out of your way to play a race card and take out of context my words and where I put them in my response. I already know I’m an asshole, you aren’t telling me anything new. Some people can take that, some can’t... such…

An “assault rifle” is a made up term by politicians to put fear in people. We have went from muzzleloaders, to single shell, to clip fed, to magazine and belt fed ammo now. If you wanted to squeeze off multiple rounds, you would go with a magazine fed firearm. It is still one trigger pull, one round is fired. That…
First off, I want to thank you for your comment. I will be the first to say that the system has failed minorities and the poor. They create housing to which they hope will take care of the problem and then look away. I get it. I’m white and grew up from a single mother in poverty. Now working for state government, I…
I actually have. In a responsible and legal way, too. To add to that, did you know you can actually hunt with an “assault rifle” if the magazine holds a certain amount of ammo (state laws vary)? That’s right, you can actually hunt with a AR15. If you are a decent shot though, you only need one bullet.
I like how your ignorance blinds you to the facts put before you. I’m hardly racist, actually anything but that. If I would have put it first, you would have spouted off that I was racist. If I put that statistic in the middle I would be racist. It’s people like you who make this all about a race issue when that is…
I am all for everything you just said... long wait times, extensive background checks... but let me stop you with the magazine count. I would dare say 90% or more shootings that have anything to do with a mass shooting would have a 10 or 30 round magazine. However, I would also dare say 100% of those same shootings do…
And you are one of the reasons why this nation is not ready to have a gun debate yet. Tube fed, clip fed, or mag fed... a semiautomatic rifle fires off one round per trigger pull. NOT a 3 round burst or more than one round (that would be automatic). You can’t buy an automatic firearm unless you have a tax stamp and…
What does power have to do with accuracy? A.22 rifle was the first sniper rifle issued by the military and that rifle is still around and very popular to this day. Don’t see anyone bitching and complaining about it. No, it doesn’t LOOK like an “assault rifle.”
You also forgot that 62% of the population is white, so yes, the likelihood that it will be a white person goes up significantly. Numbers don’t lie, I’ll give you that. But you are also referring to less than 1% of ALL murders in this nation (mass murders). With that same logic, we know that 13% of the entire…
Gun laws have gotten stricter over the past 80 years. You used to be able to order a rifle or shotgun through a Sears catalog with only having to pay for it. Yet, we didn’t have to worry about someone shooting up a school or theater. Here we are today, stricter gun laws (somewhat still loose) and preaching gun control…
...just waiting on the Dem’s to chime in. This is terrible don’t get me wrong, but where there is tragedy there will be someone there to exploit it.
Not prepared? You just brought up a national aspect on gun laws and how a firearm can be legally purchased at any gun show, asshat. Not just Indiana and their lax gun laws. Please, reeducate us on the gun laws Mr. Trump... while you are at it, go build your wall... actually make it a room high enough to where you…
So police officers should carry around tasers only while the guy who just robbed a bank with a pistol has a shotgun in the back seat? Where is the logic in that?
Threat is relative to everyone. Some people get butt hurt if I eat meat. Threat to me is when you have intent to do physical or fatal harm to me or others. I don’t shoot to kill but rather go for shoulders and knees to immobilize a threat without taking a life.
Since I have a different opinion than you and can convey it in a less than hostile manner, I’ll just throw that shit right out the window? OK? Great!
The system is broke and we know it. More and more power is given to those making the laws and it doesn’t apply to them so it seems. Yet, we are treated as pawns and told we can only vote for candidates because we live in democracy. The citizens of this nation have a duty to hold accountable those people that are…
...and civilians can’t get their hands on pistols, rifles, and shotguns? I’m all for less lethal ways, but you also have to keep the playing field level, and that is for both sides of the table (good and bad guys). But hey, if stupid people wanna play games, they will more than likely win stupid prizes!
The right to bear arms enables violence to continue? Guns pull their own triggers too, don’t they? Please enlighten me on how the right to bear arms has pretty much been stripped from the ENTIRE state of Illinois, yet Chicago still has one of the highest murder rates in the nation.
I didn’t know looting was within my Constitutional rights?! Shit! How dare these police officers hinder me from stealing from someone else during “peaceful” protest.
Maybe the people who are looting should go and steal some riot gear themselves from a local tactical/gun shop? Or just head to Dick’s Sporting Goods and loot some catchers gear. Either way, don’t bring a knife to a gun fight... unless its a bayonet.
