Shooting near Texas A&M

[xj0hnx]

Clearly self defense. No law was broken.

Has anyone said anything vaguely like that? Or are you just another cackling idiot? I vote the latter.

 

[JKing106]

Why?

I have guns of many different types. I have many friends that have a lot more weapons than I have. I'm here to report that none of us killed anyone today.

I wonder if you think drugs are just fine. Oh, yes, and unlimited abortions on demand. Just asking.

When will the Agent Orange finish eating your brain, because frankly, I'm tired of helping support your deadbeat ass.

 

[Lithium381]

You first.

What made the nyc action great was

1. the crazy man only had a knife and not a gun
2. no idiot from the crowd has a gun
3. the police had guns and they used them professionally by their training.

you first? you're the one trying to violate the 2nd amendment of our constitution. good luck with that.

show me WHY new york and california which have the strictest gun laws have higher murder rates. Show me how the 10 day wait period in california has saved lives. show me how the 10rd limit in california has saved lives . . . .. the burden is on YOU to show why we need more gun laws.

 

[JKing106]

Can you even define what an assault rifle is?

The civilian version of the weapon our military uses to kill the bad brown people who hate our freedom.

Sure. Here is a plot (from another thread) of homocide rates vs gun ownership rates for several countries throughout the world. You tell me if you see a correlation.

Edit to include the raw data
And the raw data:
Country Guns per 100 Homicide per 100k
Germany 30.3 0.8
Japan 0.6 0.5
Canada 23.8 1.8
UK 6.7 1.2
Australia 15 1.2
Belgium 17.2 1.7
China 4.9 1.1
Denmark 12 0.9
Switzerland 45.7 0.7
Sweden 31.6 1
South Korea 1.1 2.9
Spain 10.4 0.9
Greece 22.5 1.4
France 31.2 0.7
Note that the gun ownership rates are for private citizens.

Nope. It's based off of features. A hunting rifle (IMHO more dangerous than "assault weapons") can easily fall under that definition.

Too bad. I'm in good health. You will be paying my bills for many years to come. I love it.

For all of you that want gun control, may I suggest you move to mexico or Chicago.

As someone who grew up in a small population State University town, I can say nevr under estimate the power of the university. As the University, over the years has probably bought up most of the property within at least five blocks past the official borders of the University itself. And those who still own local property a few blocks from campus make out like bandits by overcharging students for rent because everything is
within walking distance for said students.

Sure the poorer students may be able to find cheap rents miles away from campus, but then parking their cars becomes usually impossible.

Maybe point granted, a really big city University like Columbia may make a case its not true for them, but I dare say its true for over 95% of the students in most colleges and Universities. An there is no real border between the just the campus and the town and small city.

Methinks this shooting has only got attention due to the recent more tragic shootings. This appears like an average everyday type shooting that normally only makes the local News.

You mean like the constitutionally guaranteed freedom to own firearms? I didn't think you wanted to see karmypoliticis killed by the military, but hey who am I to infringe upon your free speech?

You seem to have left out the U.S., where 47/100 own guns and the homicide rate (2010 = latest figure) is 4.8/100k. Somehow that doesn't make your plot look very good.

 

[JKing106]

That makes absolutely no sense, and you made it up off the top of your head. Using an AR-15 to hunt is like using a flamethrower to start your grill. It will work, but you look like a fucking idiot who's compensating for something while doing it.

 

[JKing106]

If Romney/Ryan win in November, I won't be for very long. You'll be paying out of pocket. Won't that be a great day? I think so.

He's entirely correct, you are just too ignorant to know what you are talking about.

Actually, I intentionally left off the US and South Africa. The reason is they are clear outliers from the data set. If you are trying to establish a correlation, you don't use the outliers. Yes, the US has high gun ownership and high homicide rates. South Africa has quite low gun ownership and about 6x the number of homicides as the US. So what will including them prove? If you are interested, here is that data set. Does that help?

.223 is an excellent cartridge for hunting small game.

He is too ignorant to know that they use the same round.

 

[cybrsage]

But the AR15 LOOKS scarey!!! That means is MUST be more dangerous!!!11!1!

 

[BoberFett]

Why use a machine gun like the AR15 with it's cop killer bullets when you could hunt with a less dangerous gun such as this?

 

[boomhower]

EVIL EVIL EVIL

Vermint gun

EVIL DEATH GUN!!!!!!

Yet, they both shoot the same round.(OK, the AR can shoot 5.56 as well as .223 but they are pretty damn close to the exact same thing. The 5.56 just has a bit more balls). They both have detachable high capacity magazines. The AR just looks scary so it must be meant solely to shoot innocent people by the hundreds.

 

[cybrsage]

That's a leap, since literally, words cannot kill, while literally, firearms can.

and do.

This is simply not true. Firearms just lay there doing nothing until they eventually fall apart due to environmental forces.

This picture explains your failure well:

Took to long to type, they shoot the same damn bullet genius. The 556 round has a bit more pressure but the bullet is the same as a 223. Either will go through a patrol cops vest like nothing. Pretty much any rifle will go through a cops kevlar vest like nothing. They are good for stopping handgun rounds and shotgun rounds to an extent. External steel rifle carriers are needed for protection against rifles and are to heavy and hot to be worn all the time.

You know nothing about guns, just stop trying to talk about them.

Pretty sure he knows that and was using it as an example of the antigunner's ignorance.

How so? Are you making "facts" up again? You must be. I have nothing to fear from a Romney Administration. I do from this current obama one and Lord help us if he cheats his way into another term.
