Mass casualty shooting in Orlando nightclub

Part of what problem? The problem of people having easy access to fucking assault rifles to carry out their acts of terrorism? Both discussions can be had at the same time. It's not ALL about guns. But to say it's not about guns at all is ridiculous.

 

Talking about guns in the wake of something like Sandy Hook is perfectly valid. Talking about them in the wake of the most recent terrorist attack on U.S. soil (the largest aince 9/11) is a way to ignore reality in the service of political correctness. As long as we're talking about guns, we can't talk about the real issues at play here, which is what your puppet masters want.

 

Theoretically, I think we can talk about both right now.

That said ...

We just had our Paris. I guess we figured it would eventually happen. It happened. I will be the first to remind people that terrorism on our soil is very rare. But this is a game-changer in that discussion, and probably merits top billing for now.

 

From the Army Field Manual on usage of the M16/M4:

7-12. The most important firing technique during fast-moving, modern combat is rapid semiautomatic fire. It is the most accurate technique of placing a large volume of fire on poorly defined targets or target areas, such as short exposure, multiple, or moving targets. To apply rapid semiautomatic fire, the Soldier intentionally fires a quick series of shots into the target area to ensure a high probability of a hit.

7-14. While Soldiers sacrifice some degree of accuracy to deliver a greater volume of fire, it is surprising how devastatingly accurate rapid semiautomatic fire can be. At ranges beyond 25 meters, rapid semiautomatic fire is superior to automatic fire in all measures: shots per target, trigger pulls per hit, and time to hit. Proper training and repeated practice increases the degree of accuracy.

Even if that wasn't true, the AR-15 can be easily converted to fully automatic status.

It's the same weapon. It was designed to efficiently kill a lot of people.

 

Sadly not surprised.

Orlando is usually near the top of the angriest cities in America every year.

 

The shooter, who apparently was the angriest of anyone, lived 100 miles away.

 

And only a short drive to "the happiest place on earth" as Disney bills it.

 

Elsewhere, you are a hateful bigot.

 

In Port st Lucie. He's an angry Met fan

 

Are you capable of having a discussion or are you just going to continue to troll? What is your take? MUSLIMS BAD?

 

Enough with the "t" word. That's a perfectly reasonable post on his part. Disagreeing with you does not equal "trolling."
