Another mass shooting. Another assault rifle

[Chuz Life]

Libtardz are funny, especially when they are not in power to do anything.

They are the first point out how prohibition never works when it comes to saving children's lives by banning abortions or when it comes to recreational drugs. . . But when it comes to guns and the 2nd amendment right of THE PEOPLE to own guns for defense?

Suddenly, prohibition and banning guns for everybody is their answer to the problem with those who are abusing that right.

Newsflash, libtardz. . . we already have enough laws to punish those who violate their rights. If you suddenly start thinking prohobition is the means to defend the rights of others (esp. children). . . then, maybe it's time you start re-thinking your opposition to any bans on abortion.

P.S., I also love it when people who never served in the military and have never been trained with military weapons think they know so much about them and how they are used.

As I am prior service military, myself (Marines).... I find most of your shit laughable as hell. "Full Auto" is NOT intended to be used for "mass killing." Hell, the 5.56 / .223 round isn't even designed for "mass killing." "Full Auto" (according to our training) is to be used for cover fire and suppression. . . mainly as a distraction to the enemy to aid troop movements.

You can't generally hit squat that you want to hit, when shooting full auto. It's hard enough to hit shit in Semi-auto.

I could go on, but why bother? Besides... time to go to work.

Mass shooting in hospital where the shooter used an assault type rifle.

But hey, if only doctors were armed.

...and youre stupid enough to believe that an assault rifle is a more dangerous weapon than a pistol indoors. Long barrels are for longer range shooting, while short barrels for close quarters shooting. Understand now retard?

You can remove guns but they will find another means of killing people. If a person wants to kill they will find a way. This man could have used a baseball bat,knife, bomb,chemical agent,vehicle. Timothy McVeigh and the first bombing of the WTC in 1993 were both trucks with bombs. The 2001 WTC were planes loaded with jet fuel, no gun necessary.

The difference is in killing power.

Trucks & planes of other uses that killing.

IDK ISIS seems to be doing a decent enough job with cars, trucks and bombs. Matter of fact they haven't been using guns at all lately.

Mass shooting in hospital where the shooter used an assault type rifle.

But hey, if only doctors were armed.

The rifle used was an AR-15, which is semi-automatic. The primary performance characteristic of an assault rifle is full-automatic function.

Unfortunately the vast majority of anti-gun commentators know absolutely nothing about guns, they are afraid of guns, and they are not inclined to defend themselves under any circumstances -- which accounts for their ignorance.

What today's shooter did with his AR-15 could have been done just as well, if not even better, with some of the most ordinary hunting rifles available. In fact there are a number of ordinary hunting rifles and shotguns with which he could have done a lot more damage.

For your information, the AR-15 is mainly a fetish firearm, adored because of its cosmetic resemblance to the military standard M-16. It is over-priced and over-rated. And it is not an "assault" rifle or an "assault-type" rifle. In fact there is no such thing as an "assault-type" rifle. That is a jerk-off designation.

Correct, it is a tool for use in killing in mass, especially when equipped with a large magazine and a quick release magnet.

No.....wrong...again...The AR-15 is the most popular rifle in the United States, over 5 million in private hands.....and in 35 years how many people have been murdered with one......less than 167, ...in 35 years....hardly a mass killing weapon...

Knives on the other hand...kill over 1,500 every single year. Knives are actually deadlier by body count than these rifles....

That's the commonly used term these days for a gun that will spray multiple bullets in a minute, a dozen or more depending on who you ask. That makes it an "assault" weapon, indeed, if you are the person being fired upon.

I'm more worried about the U.S. and the OP is about the shooting of six innocent doctors and med students going about their work at a hospital when they were gunned down by an ex coworker using an AR15, widely available in any hunting goods store and WalMart. We aren't talking about terrorists.

No...it doesn't...that is the lie the anti gunners use because they want to ban the weapon. The truth is that a military rifle must have select fire capability.......the AR-15 does not, and never has had this...and has never been used by the military....the definition you gave...fits most modern pistols...which is another thing the gun grabbers do...they bait and switch, here we were talking about rifles...but the definition you gave fits pistols too....which is why we don't trust anti gunners....

Why are you worried.....AR-15 rifles have been used to murder fewer than 167 people...over a period of 35 years...if you really want to worry, worry about the knife in your kicthen...knives are used over 1,500 times a year to commit murder......

Do you see the difference in numbers....

And again...as more Americans own and carry guns...our crime rate has dropped...a lot...

We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 15.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

Well actually we are. This guy left that job in 2015. He's been stewing for a while and probably planning this for a while;its domestic terrorism of a sort. Take away the AR-15 and he still would have had his revenge. Like ISIS he could have used a bomb,knife,car,poison, the only limit is his imagination. Timothy McVeigh used a truck and made a fertilizer bomb. This isn't rocket science and this guy was a doctor so I'm thinking he could figure out by way of internet how to make a bomb. Emergency rooms have drive up access so it really would have been nothing for Dr. Bello blow shit up if he couldn't have gotten his hands on a AR-15. The terrorists in London used cars,homemade bombs and knives and so could have Bello. If this country wants to stop guys like Bello and Lanza maybe we should invest more into mental health. Clearly Bello had anger management problems and a screw loose as did Lanza. It's not the guns it's the mind of the people with the guns. Our society is producing nut jobs at an alarming rate and maybe we should also put some cash into why that is. This type of thing didn't happen with this frequency 30 years ago. Somethings gone horribly wrong in the last 30 years.

I am willing to bet that mass shootings would actually increase significantly if there were to be a total (unconstitutional) ban on firearms. Even if the ban were specific to only certain types or calibers.

Banning guns will not in any way convert insane criminals into law abiding upstanding members of a society.

 

[Boss]

Our inalienable rights are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not shootouts. Do you lie all the time like the president or are you just stupid, again, like the president? You`re welcome but now you owe me.

No! Our inalienable rights INCLUDE life, liberty and pursuit of happiness....

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ​

These are areas which comprise a great number of liberties. The Second Amendment specifies that our right shall not be infringed. Doesn't matter who the president is, how smart the president is, or if you dislike the president. None of that has a thing to do with the Second Amendment.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.​

If you believe I owe you something, I demand a refund, shithead. Don't come at me with your little left-wing commie blogs trying to debate the Constitution.... I'll mop the floor with your bitch ass punk!

So you`re going tell me where your militia trains and who your commander is? Until now, I`ve never heard of the Declaration of Independence referred to as a commie blog. If you could mop the floor with anyone you wouldn`t need guns to hide behind....not so tough guy.

You didn't present anything from the DoI, you posted some stupid link telling us what to think. I posted from the DoI and it refutes your claim outright. It's none of your business where my militia trains or who the commander is and that's not a prerequisite for my unalienable rights anyway. It's more evidence of your abject stupidity and failure to understand our founding documents.

Now the floor has been mopped with you twice, bitch. I don't need a gun to do it. All I have to do is sit back and wait for you to open your stupid little punk mouth and spew out something else you don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Boss]

Hey, here's an idea that will settle all this...

Since it's always some fucked up left wing loony tune who commits these mass shootings... we pass a law that you can't own a firearm if you voted Democrat in the last 20 years. If you've voted for a Democrat and you're caught with a firearm, we can lock you away.

The justification being, you're just not fucking mentally stable enough to have a gun.

Making assault type rifles illegal will make them harder to obtain, allow police to arrest them on the way to commit their slaughter, or arrest them in the planning stages.

Trucks & knives have actual uses outside of killing things. Really. Quit being sofa king stupid by declaring there are other ways to kill people. No fucking shit. It has no change ton the FACT that a AK47 has far more killing power than a knife or pistol or bolt action rifle or a baseball bast. A fact you assholes can't seem to grasp.

Why own one? It is a crappy home defense weapon.

The doctor is BLACK. Like Bill Clinton, he lost his job over sexual harassment.

I'm going to make a wild guess and bet he's a DEMOCRAT.

Why do THESE FOLKS always go on killing sprees?

It`s not a wild guess that the perp here was one of those red hatted morons.
Father of road rage victim expresses anger as manhunt continues

What does a "red hatted" mean? Disagreed the doctor was a "moron" since morons don't become doctors, but I do think he was mentally ill. Why doesn't anyone care about better mental health care? Most of these tragedies are caused by disturbed people. Wouldn't it make more sense to help them before it went so far that they committed murder/suicide?
