Smith and Wesson? Sure is a good thing he didn’t buy a Bushmaster. Last I heard those were super-lethal.
Tough to have a grown up discussion when the Left refuses to acknowledge facts.
I don’t care how many idiot killers the Democrats send out.
After the Democrats used armored vehicles to kill children at Waco, I’ll never support gun control.
One idiot Democrat Killer is a problem.
Millions of Democrat killers is the apocalypse.
I really can't believe that these fools are wrong/misinformed as consistently as they are.
Unless someone is shooting back.
What caliber?
I’m wondering what more is possible in the case of madmen who haven’t yet been found to be madmen. It was tragedy that Cruz went and got this gun while blind with rage.
But do we need to be blind too. I don’t know how it would sit with 2A purists to have a law requiring a psych test of people buying sufficiently large weapons. To try to see if they are in a rage. And if they are, to forbid the sale and refer the person to a choice of psychological or spiritual counseling. Now even this could go wrong — any law of mankind can — but the horse of philosopher kingship is already well out of the courts’ barn. Staying ahead of the curve to mitigate court decree harms may be the best we can do in the short run.
Good point
Don’t mock even these fools too much, for they are state fools and possess great weapons of mischief on their own.
Even liberals I know, realize that gun control isn’t the problem.
The only people that clamor for gun control, are the ones that would like to point a gun AT US.
It’s noticeable that these idiots never mention the “caliber” of these firearms. It’s: (1) because they do to know, or (2) to say that it fires a .223 projectile just mitigates their “high caliber” argument.
It’s okay to take away mentally ill people’s firearms, but put them back in confined care to protect society from baseball bat attack, or knife attack. etc.
Well what do you mean by gun control.
Even if it is to hit what ought to be hit, it also has to be to not hit what ought not to be hit.
What do we do with madmen without yet turning into a “psychiatric state”? If “conservatives” will not thread this needle wisely, “liberals” will do it perhaps unwisely.
Another rant... PING
AR-15. Looked to be the same weapon that those oppressors-with-badges carried as they ran to the sound of gunfire.
Good question!..I think I heard .22 cal
Not that .22 cant be lethal but Id like to learn more....22 Magnum or Hornet maybe?... and BTW...Welcome Home Brother!
Welcome home to both of you brothers ... I like my 5.56x45 in 62 grain as opposed to 55 grain
5.56 oe .223
Ruger Mini 14 fires either, very little difference in the two, size wise.
Enough difference for an AR15
