Mass shootings in Maine

[InVOLuntary]

I learned something about airsoft guns and pellets last year. They ain’t soft.

No, they hurt like hell.

Have you played airsoft? Kids got me into it. It's fun.

There are some really funny videos on YouTube of special ops guys playing airsoft against normal people. The regular players get destroyed and some neat fights break out. It’s good stuff.

Some take it way serious. We just play out in the back woods.

To them compromise means they get their way and everyone else can suck it.

I’m always interested to hear the proposal. But no one ever makes one.

Luther actually came closest once.

He offered “universal healthcare” in exchange for the 2A infringements he wanted.

I laugh at the rubes who always want to test the gun knowledge of those who want tougher gun control. They're always
trying to distract and deflect from the obvious. So, no, I'm not playing your "how much do you know about guns" game.

That reply just proves those of us on the right who know a little something about firearms correct.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

If you're not prepared to support a permanent ban on assault rifles, for starters then you can't be taken seriously on this issue.
Mass shootings are a uniquely American problem--and it's not because we have more mentally troubled people than other countries.
It's because we make it very easy to buy dangerous weapons.

What's an "assault rifle"?

Man I had an arsenal of airsoft guns as a kid. We would save up our money we made mowing lawns and doing other chores and would get money orders at the convenient store by the neighborhood. Ordered from budk and cheaper than dirt magazines. The little automatic ones that looked like mini mp5s were fun, they didn't hurt quite as bad

 

[85SugarVol]

What Doc said. It's a beefier AR15. Chambered in .308. I own one.

The AR15 is literally 50% more powerful than the AR10.

Get these AR15’s off the street and let’s place an AR10 in everyone’s hands. Common sense reforms.

Lol, don't do that. They'll run with it. On second thought, do it.

So the thread on the latest mass killing has turned in to a "gun guy" circle jerk....microcosm of what the problem is.

Back when I was in my 20’s it was paint ball. There was a club at work. Some guys got really into it. There was this one big ole round fat boy that made a Ghillie suit that was so good when he sat down cross legged he looked like a damn bush. Just had a small muzzle sticking out of this bush

Well first we completely destroyed one of your fellow gun grabbing morons for their ignorance and then we just wandered this way. Blame it on your idiot compadre that can’t tell an airsoft gun from a real one.

Why does it matter. If 15/20 (I don't know exactly not going to look it up but it is an overwhelming majority) of the last major mass killings were all carried out with the same weapon, common sense says, hey maybe we should ban that weapon. I don't need to be a gun enthusiast to have some ****ing common sense.

Change the Constitution. The path to do so is pretty clear. Otherwise you aren't having a legitimate conversation

It matters a great deal when you gun grabbing rubes completely ignore the firearm of choice, the semiautomatic pistol, and focus on a lesser utilized weapon because you’ve turned it into a pissing contest.

And it doesn’t help your credibility in the pissing contest when your gun grabbing road warriors have no idea exactly which weapon they are chaffing over and just dropping overused meaningless sound bites and meaningless terms.

You have no credibility. So you get ignored.

They can’t. So they have to weasel into what they want

 

[volfanhill]

They are extremely disingenuous. Pretending like it's wrriten for States to have militias being the main purpose. It's absurd. That's why you can't trust them. If they are willing to lie about basic English then of course they will take every firearm they can.

It definitely is not underutilized when it comes to killing many people very quickly.

 

[NorthDallas40]

It absolutely is way behind semi auto pistols. So again why aren’t you focused on the primary weapon? Could it be you really don’t care about the shooting deaths and merely want to leverage them to get what you want? Heaven forbid.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

There's a reason for that too. And it's called the NRA and money.

LMAO once again you are clueless on the real threat. Go look up Gun Owners of America

Oh BTW thanks for the admission of being a weasel

I'm talking about mass shootings. Not gang crimes and murder suicides. Mass killings that have happened at schools, movie theaters, night clubs, grocery stores, bowling alleys, Vegas strip, etc. Those were not pistols. I know Va Tech was but that's like 1 out of about 30.

So am I Cletus. Thanks for showing you have no damn idea what you’re talking about either. And also thanks for showing it isn’t about the deaths you don’t GAF about them they are a means to an end.
