Around here, only a liberal would shoot up a Walmart, and I highly doubt that would happen.

I am going to remind you for the billionth time that you are evading a thread ban.


On another tangent, I do not know why gun humpers have suddenly become so reticent to call these things assault rifles, or confess to their military design and military grade ballistics.

Gun humpers said we needed the Second Amendment, in part, to be able to overthrow a tyrannical government by military force if necessary. Is that not one of the claims for the alleged necessity of owning AK-47 and M-16 knock-offs?
Wouldn't you need weapons designed for quasi-military use, designed with military tactics in mind, and with military grade ballistics when the nation needs you to become Rambo and take on the military forces of a tyrannical government??
 
Rambo fantasies - You can pretend that you’re a Navy SEAL or an Army Ranger

Dayton shooter's gun is the reason he killed 9 in 30 seconds — and gun-makers know it

By Michael E. Diamond, U.S. veteran

Gun manufacturers are aware they have a dangerous product, and it's no secret their marketing targets the kind of people who want to look and feel powerful.

The message for consumers is clear: If you want to be a badass, all you need to do is buy a semi-automatic assault rifle with a high capacity magazine.
You can pretend that you’re a Navy SEAL or an Army Ranger without suffering the inconvenience of early morning wake-ups, tough training and demanding standards.

Once again, lone gunmen armed with (legally purchased) military-style assault weapons were able to quickly kill unarmed civilians in two mass shootings this past weekend. The fact that the Dayton shooter was killed within 30 seconds of firing his first shot — and yet was still able to kill nine people within that short period of time, injuring dozens more — makes plainly visible what military veterans like myself have long understood: Assault rifles are uniquely lethal because they’re designed to kill as many humans as possible, as quickly as possible.

You might think that the companies marketing these weapons would want to downplay how often their products put the “mass” in “mass killings.” But you’d be wrong.

The gun industry and their NRA poodles made a revenue-enhancing pivot to their business model some years ago. Instead of just manufacturing and marketing traditional hunting rifles they moved to the tactical self-defense and “black rifle” look — replete with military-like scopes and high-capacity magazines. As this podcast observed, the gun industry became “more about firefights than field and stream.” But if that marketing approach has been great for business, it has been terrible for the safety of everyday Americans.

The message for consumers is clear: If you want to be a badass, all you need to do is buy a semi-automatic assault rifle with a high capacity magazine. You can pretend that you’re a Navy SEAL or an Army Ranger without suffering the inconvenience of early morning wake-ups, tough training and demanding standards.
