    Silly me. I thought automatic weapons were pretty much banned already. Perhaps we should ban muzzies and democraps.

    “He used an automatic weapon? Really?”
Doesn’t seem too farfetched to me, considering that he shot over 100 people within minutes.

    At the risk of getting banned. 50 or so radical Democrats are dead. 53 are wounded. If Moslem people continue to target radical Democrats, I my get a different view of Islam immigrants. This is sarcasm of course.

    “The ATF says he bought them at a gun store, legally, in the last few weeks. There goes the automatic weapons meme.”
Omar could have had that gun illegally converted to full auto in no time flat. I still think that’s the most likely explanation for how he managed to shoot so many people, so fast.

    Let in every 3rd world POS they can think of and when something goes wrong EVERYONE needs to lose their rights over it.
Liberal idiots.

    It takes months if not years to legally buy an automatic weapon. The ATF claims he bought these in the last few weeks.

    Automatics are heavily regulated to be nearly band already.

    “Machine guns have been out of public circulation since 1934.”
Fully automatic weapons can still be had today, if you’re willing to pay the gubmint fees, and can handle the long waiting period to be approved.

    No Bernie, you and the rest of the UniParty Cartel in DC are dumber than a box of rocks.

Between 2001 and 2013, the U.S. permanently resettled nearly 30,000 Afghan migrants on green cards. According to Pew, nearly all Muslims in Afghanistan (99%) support sharia law as official law.
 Any Muslim attempting to immigrate to the US who believes that Sharia Law is equal or higher than the US Constitution should NOT be allowed into this country. In America it is the Constitution and Federal/State/Local law that rules, NOT SHARIA!

    Why do we showcase that effing nutbag Jason Easley, who views Obama as a right-wing freak?

    I’m not “showcasing” him, but it was the only source that talked about Bernie’s statement at the time.

My thoughts exactly, I suppose a reply was not “Crucial”? Ha!

    Bernie exhibits the ignorance and stupidity of the average leftist. I challenge Bernie to walk into a gun shop and purchase an “automatic weapon”.

    You’re really hoping this terrorist had a machine gun, aren’t you?
