It is simple...

Blame the instrument but not the person activating it.

That is how liberals and 'gun' snatchers roll. One thing I have
not seen yet is if he was the legal owner of the AR-15 and if it
had been illegally altered to fire full auto or not.

Full auto requires a ATF (Federal) permit. It is not a NRA
issue at this point. Anything suggesting that it is,
is a red herring argument.

Update: it was found that he was the legal owner, but still no notion
as to whether or not it was altered.

It's a stupid argument. I have an electrician's pouch and I consider ever tool in it a weapon, to include the pencil. Blaming firearms for the actions of men who started out beating each other with rocks and clubs is just ludicrous. If I want you dead, you're going to die. I am the weapon, not the tool.

This is a case of a coward waging war against noncombatants and the fools who refuse to accept that that is what's going on based on religious zealotry. I said the same thing about Fred Phelps. I'm equal opportunity. Cowards are cowards no matter what label they try and hide behind.

If you are not in the military or a registered peace officer, you don't need an AR-15. Or any similar weapon. It's as simple as that.
The second amendment does not give you the right to own an assault rifle. If you need a weapon for self-defense, a single shot handgun will do.

If you want an AR-15, you better go out and get one now. They aren't going to be sold for much longer.
There are going to be a lot of second amendment challenges come before the SCOTUS in a few years. Want to guess how they will turn out? :cool:

Who are YOU to decide what people need? A legally owned AR-15 functions like any other rifle.

And I can drive downtown and get a fully-automatic AK-47 if I want to be a criminal.

How many millions and millions of guns are out there right now? And if you regulate them somehow, the criminals that own them, will they too participate? And if there is ever confiscation of any sort, will the criminals show up to give away their tools?

With that said, it doesn't matter anyway. The guns in folks houses are safe and sound right where they are, and the right to buy guns of all sorts WILL NOT be going anywhere, not in our lifetimes. This is one of the founding principles of our nation and whiny liberals aren't going to make it disappear.

I had to use a different ID on USMB. Apparently it would have "caused problems" if I used Gunny. Even though a certain individual made sure everyone on the board knew who I was. I thought it was ridiculous. I just did what the admin wanted.

When I started looking at boards again I tried to go back to that board. It's just full of idiots, IMO. The owner likes to cross advertise his boards. He's a professional board owner. I fought him tooth and nail while I was still there over that, and the result is exactly what I expected. Idiots from his gambling and sports boards who know nothing about politics have taken over and they're just plain nasty to any and everyone that disagrees with them. Everything's personal there and all the e-balls guys are out in force.

Too much drama for me. The reason I walked away for several years. And it's the reason I am here. We might have a little drama, but it's so seldom it's actually entertainment when it happens. :laugh: When every word you post causes somone to melt down, it's just not any fun, IMO.

Dumb argument. It is not as simple as that. Your mindset would prohibit semi-auto pistols, rifles and shotguns.

A single shot handgun?? Like a cap and ball black powder? So one round is all you need? On a safe range environment perhaps.
I see you have never taken a judgmental pistol course. L.E. and military have and we've been taught 3 rounds out of the holster.
Why? Because at least the first might go wide, is why. These are not paper bulls-eyes at the local pistol range that do not pose
a threat to fire back.

The media doesn't have a frikkin clue ... nor do the anti-gun idiots. You could mount a scope, fore grip and bayonet on a flintlock and those folks would go out of their minds screaming about that "assault rifle". Rather than try to educate themselves, they are all busy posting stupid crap all over social media. I saw one "quote" attributed to Geo. Washington that implied the 2d Amendment only referred to muskets and not weapons that fired "13.3 rounds per second" ..... not sure when the last time anyone talked to Mr. Washington but I am fairly certain it wasn't in my life time.

As far as I'm concerned he does represent every Muslim who takes Islam seriously but not ignorant nominal Muslims. The weapon used is irrelevant because those bent on harming people will find a way, just like Timothy McVeigh did. I'm opposed to mixing firearms and alcohol consumed to impairment and some guys also just turn instant jerk with alcohol. Still had there been a couple armed and trained guys in there the outcome would have been different.

We can't keep illegal people out. We can't keep illegal drugs out. And words on a piece of paper aren't going to stop illegal firearms from jetting through the pipeline from Central Europe and Asia.

So I can be the designated shooter? Been there done that. I don't agree with guns in a bar. I learned this lesson the hard way. I went out with a bunch of jarheads shooting and they were slugging them down. I got where I was standing behind all of them. I didn't trust them with loaded firearms. Drunk people do some dumb stuff. I don't want to be shot over dumb.

I can also tell you from the opposite side of the coin, why do I want to be around a bunch of drunks? When I returned to SA the only people I knew were drinking buddies. I couldn't drink. They're a lot more boring sober. I just quit hanging out with them. Why do I want to hang out in a bar where I can't smoke or drink?

Call a taxi.

You can't just designate someone's beliefs away. This guy was warped. That's never addressed. These people are screwballs everyone around them knows are screwballs and because we're all PC and won't speak up, they pull this kind of crap.

I agree with 'no drunks or crazy people in general should have guns.' No argument. I'm not saying anyone should be forced to carry either. Nor forced to be a 'designated driver.' Not all groups would want either or both.

In all honesty, the idea of designated driver when I was in teens and drinking age was 18 wasn't considered. My kids wouldn't think of going out to 'party' without one or using alternative transportation-it's just the norm for them. They take turns being the one that does not drink. Doesn't just cover getting everyone home in one piece, has likely prevented other bad things from happening while 'celebrating' such as going home with the wrong person and fights that may have broken out. They also have over time dropped those that wouldn't take their turn or get nasty over and over again drinking. That list is still growing. Some have returned, no longer drinking.

It's a matter of experience and self-education.

Indeed. I think there's plenty on the right that see homosexuality as offensive as many Muslims. However, they seem to be able to control themselves enough not to throw them off of buildings or shoot up gathering spaces. I may be wrong, but my guess is that they are pretty sure that the final judgement won't look more kindly on murder than on laying with the wrong others?

Look what the media did with the bakers and photographers and gay weddings. They blamed 'religious fanatics' while in this case they are blaming his being conflicted over his own sexual tendencies and excusing the religious extremism. Some deny services, even referring the potential customers to others; some deny life and laughing like a maniac to their own goal of death by law enforcement.

Total moral equivalency. :rolleyes:

But what they DO lie about, as well as all the liberals - is the term "assault weapon". Can you imagine what these folks would do if they DID ever truly see a fully automatic weapon? Are these turds aware that these weapons ARE already banned (more or less) and not really on the streets? The FACT is that they DO judge based on scariness, or at least what seems scary to them - because they surely aren't judging based on facts and what these guns can actually do, and what they are actually labeled as.

The military doesn't even have fully auto M-4s. You get a 3 round burst. And you have to game the 3 rounds because the trigger pull on each round is different. The pull gets heavier with each round fired. They quit giving us full auto weapons back in the mid 80s.
