“converting a new semi-automatic to fully automatic is a quick kit purchase and youtube video away.”

Not saying you are entirely wrong, but no, it isn’t simply that easy. Feel free to link to one of these online kits and videos you refer to.

What you will find is that the videos don’t exist other than to explain the…

As they are in many states should you follow federal law to obtain them.

Considering the assault weapons ban was simply cosmetic? Seems a bit short sighted on their part. Hint... It wasn’t a ban.

No... Family of six kids here... same deal. Guns and liquor readily accessible. None of us ever had an accident or poisoned ourselves growing up. Was taught respect for firearms from an early age. I’m doing the same with my daughter today and my firearms are secured.

The question is, what happened in the 90's on that…

First time in decades an automatic weapon has been used in an attack. What is your point?

Semi automatic rifles are some of the most popular and used hunting rifles today.

Do you realize that the bulk of people anywhere near the strip in Vegas flew in from outside the state? Even with CCW reciprocity most don’t bother bring a firearm with them on vacation.

“ Literally anything that can distract their viewership from fact that the shooter is a part of their primary demographic.”

Primary demographic of what exactly? He is 64 and white. All 64 year old white guys are fox news junkies?

Fort Hood

You can actually buy a similar config F-350 cheaper than you can the same config in an F-250. Go figure. Only real difference between the trucks is the payload due to the extra spring leaf in the rear.

Shame is they probably already reproduced.

Shit man... The fact that it has been politicized is what is even more bothersome.

“How does kneeling “tarnish or diminish the value of the product/brand you represent”?”

Impacting the value of a brand or the sponsorships of the race team they are one probably constitutes breach of said contract. Alienating your fan base who are rabidly patriotic is one and the same.

“This is such a ridiculous statement... Are they going to call all the people getting or consuming beer and snacks, or going to the bathroom when the Natl anthem plays unpatriotic too?”

He isn’t employed because doing so would diminish the value of the product/brand he would be thus associated with. Businesses and indeed sport franchises exist to make money. You’d free speech rights protect you from gov’t, not your employer. If your actions are considered counter to the mission of the business and…

Good luck with that.

AN employer can fire someone who is saying or doing something that negatively impacts their brand, product, etc. Free speech doesn’t even come to play there.

Freedom of speech means you are free to criticize your gov’t and it’s policies, etc without fear of retribution from your gov’t. It does not mean that it covers you from being fired by your private employer for saying something on their time and specifically in a public venue (racing, NFL) etc where pissing off your…

Not to mention it is happening where sponsors pay big money to be on the car and uniforms. When you are a very visible part of a brand, then you have a duty to protect that brand from diminished value. Considering the very rabid patriotic fan base of NASCAR any driver that does pull something in the name of free…
