A Republican running for a Kansas congressional seat is going forward with his planned AR-15 giveaway for his campaign after the same weapon was used to carry out the mass shooting at a Florida high school this week.

Tyler Tannahill, a Marine veteran, announced the giveaway one day before the shooting. He told The Kansas City Star that he would still hold the event...

If the Murderer used a Car to run over and Kill those Kids, would The Price Is Right stop giving Cars away?

He’s giving away the same one that was used in Florida?

Won’t the cops need it for evidence?

Well, at least he isn’t giving away a demented School Shooter.

Now that would be a problem.

I doubt seriously that he is giving away the same weapon that was used in the shooting. I’m pretty sure the cops have in some evidence room, or are actively performing ballistics testing on it.

I didn’t even want an AR-15, the round is puny. Yeah it is fast, but it is still a puny 55 grain projectile.
There are more effective cartridges available.

I bought an AR last year when it looked like Hildebeast might win just because they don’t want me to have one.

“Yeah it’s the weapons fault. I can’t take it anymore. “

Same democrat logic: the Mauser rifle started WW1.

“..the same weapon was used to carry out the school shooting in Florida..” Wow. He must have some major clout to have obtained the rifle so quickly. I would have thought that it would have been secured by police and later used in the prosecution of the crime as the first evidence presented in the case. Sotheby’s here we come if I win that raffle.

And then you had that terrible boating accident.

Was the AR-15 used in the school shooting ever recovered?

It is the same weapon that was used to stop the mass shooting at the church in Sutherland Springs, Texas last year.

Yeah, the funny thing is, if that kid had used a 12 gauge shotgun with a short tactical sized barrel and double ought buck - in the tight, crowded confines os school halls and classes - it would have been worse. But everyone wants to get the vapors over the scary black (20 caliber) rifle.
