Thank you.

[Getready]

Always a few mental and logical outliers....as a gun owner to him destruction meant sawing down the barrel...repairable...not destroyed.
With all the danger out there this guy needs to stay home where he’ll eventually probably slip and fall and ...get bypassed by 911 system attending people who got sliced and diced by their circular saws as they were shortening the barrels of their ar15s...

What part of the 2nd Amendment ain’t about hunting don’t u get?

Who knows what could happen if it got outside?!?

That’s very mature and helpful. Let’s take out our frustrations on inanimate objects.

Unless you’re shooting small game with a .22 or similar, you need (and are required by law in most places) high powered weapons to make an ethical kill. have yet to get a rational response when I ask a gun grabber for a definition of a “high powered” weapon.

The caliber size of the bullet the gun uses and what it can do never gets reported up by the agenda driven MSM war on guns. When posting here FR’s should bring that up.

"Is the right to own a weapon more important than someone's life?" Pappalardo asks in the powerful video.

Yes. Yes it is. Because the alternative would cost millions of lives.

Looks to me like the rifle he cut up has both a pistol grip and a detachable magazine -- and possession of such a rifle is a felony in the State of New York.

New York (and Cali) require "featureless" rifles. (ie. NO "evil features" like a flash hider, collapsible stock, bayonet lug and a pistol grip on a rifle with a detachable magazine are allowed.)

I doubt he'll be prosecuted because of his over the top virtue signaling, but I would hope that most lawyers would have told him that it was a bad idea to call the cameras and demonstrate that he is a felon. (He was still a felon once he cut the barrel since the evil features are on the lower and since he now has a short-barrel rile, he is both a felon under New York state law, and a felon under Federal law.)

THIS is what you need to do to an AR to make it New York legal!

I've read the comment that this is part of a Harrison Bergeron World effort to degenerate the best marksman's skills to the level of an urban gangster.

There was a Pajama Boy in Arizona that did about the same thing and used the same words and ‘reasoning’after the Vegas shooting. I don’t know if his couple of days of being loved by the idiot left was worth the $500 -$1200 it cost him.

This guy can’t even be original, other than using a saw on his.

And he doesn’t even need a new upper... Just a new barrel and gas tube to make it functional again. Could be done for less than $75 bucks. Maybe he wanted to convert it to .300 Blackout or something anyway .

People go crazy for all sorts of reasons. Maybe its a good thing this fruitcake destroyed his own rifle before he hurt someone.

“What part of the 2nd Amendment ain’t about hunting don’t u get?”

Oh, I get it. I was responding to a the specific point made that “Pappalardo concedes he no longer believes people should own high-powered weapons.” If one believes such, then it ALSO makes him an unethical hunter—in addition to being an uninformed, gun grabbing, attention whore.

Is the right to own a weapon more important than one’s life? Yes! To protect the weapon owner’s life from criminals and a tyrannical government.

[Taxman]

Dumbass!

"Is the right to own a weapon more important than someone's life?"

Yes - especially when standing my ground.

I hope he doesn’t have a brick house because he might start getting concerned about what would happen should any of his bricks fall into the wrong hands.

The New York firearm owner even has a faded Second Amendment tattoo on his arm.

Ah, the old genetic fallacy /herd identification trick ...

An effort to persuade people to accept an argument based on the source [an apparent fellow gun enthusiast] rather than on the merit of the argument.

Wonder who airbrushed on the tat?

[BTerclinger]

The guy is an idiot.

After all the hard work I did getting my garden just the way I wanted it when a rouge ground hog sauntered in and cleaned out all my hard work. My logical recourse was to destroy all my garden tools and salt the earth.

In Texas, we call this delusional libtard's action, "...being plumb eat up with the dumb@$$!"

General Honoré would call it, "...being Stuck on Stupid!"
