Las Vegas shooting

[BotanyBoy]

You know something, Tonto, for once you and I actually agree on something. That WAS an interesting article.

I admit that, before yesterday, I had never even HEARD of the phrase "bump stock". The first time I heard it was here on Lit yesterday morning when you and Ishmael were tee-heeing back and forth and murmering "bump stock! yassss!" during your morning circle jerk.

So some ingenious inventor found a way to mimic full-automatic fire from a semi-automatic weapon, in a way that was, as you situational patriots like to say, "strictly legal"! For only $269, you can make your own "bullet hose".

These little inventions will likely be banned, and they should be.

Are you also going to ban belt loops and fingers too?

LOL fuckin' lunatics you lefties are.

But this one was "the first".
Terrible accident.

Who said it was an accident? It was a well planned and thought out assault on America by a diabolical maniac. All I was saying was that bump firing can be purposely accomplished with technique if one knows what they are doing, but it isn't very efficient for accuracy with small targets. It could be employed if the purpose was to hit a large gathering. Don't ask me to explain how it is done.

Killing so many people by shooting was a dream target for a lot of "lone wolf fighter". No one reached.
But only this one was "enoug smart" and "had lucky".

So, yes it was planned, but the result is "accident".

How do you manage to pick up a knife to cut vegetables without running out into the street and stabbing people?

Why would I do that when there are so many guns around?

So if a gun was laying around, you'd just instantly go on a rampage?

Sounds like you need some professional help.

Depends on who is nearby, init?

But I digress. Should I start a new thread for this?

What are you going to do about it?

Go ahead and use your belt loop for a rapid-fire aid, and see if you can hit the broad side of one of those big buildings they keep animals in.

LMFAO!!!

I've done it with a lot of success.

Perks of being in a cool guy unit in the Army? You get to do a fucking shitload of shooting and you get to do it on all the things that shoot.

Sometimes you get extra ammo to burn, and perfect shit like bump firing, trick shots, hunting deer with grenade launchers and melting SAW barrels.

...using abortion as a defense for a paranoid obsession with guns.

This faux piety about being so concerned about human life is similar to those who only want us to pray after each slaughter by a gun nut, as in, "Now is not the appropriate time to talk about gun control. We must pray for the victims, erect memorials with teddy bears. run stories about the heroism of our first responders, praise our country as the greatest on Earth, sell a lot of advertising in our media outlets, and then forget the whole incident until another gun nut pops his cork."

What's any different about this and the Left's proclivity to lecture us about the tolerance of Islam after every single one of their attacks?

If this guy had been screaming ALLAHU AKBAR we would have already had that lecture from posters such as yourself right before you pivoted to gun prohibition as if prohibitions on things lead to decreased violence...

He wasn't aiming at a target, he was aiming at something broader that the side of a building and, once again, you are so proud to display your ignorance when it comes to firearms...


You just never fucking learn do you?

Deflect, little man, Deflect!

But....but.....Muslims!
But....but.....Black-On-Black crime!
But....but.....mentally ill!
But....but.....Lone Wolf!
Now is not the time to talk about guns!
Thoughts 'n Prayers!
THOUGHTS 'N PRAYERS DAMMIT!

And for the record, nobody's talking about steel penis substitute prohibition. They're talking about steel penis substitute regulation.

Now tell us why bump stocks are teh kewlest thing EVAR!

Oh, did they take away your machine gun? Sad.

But I'm glad you found a workaround that lets you commit mass murder shooting from the hip like Fuckin' Chuck Connors. "Hang on, Mister Terrorist. I gotta find my Army-issue belt loop."

 

[richard_daily]

What are you going to do about it?

It's not my problem. It's yours. What are you going to do about it?

Or... you know, the middle of a crowd of 20k.

Oh wait...

 

[richard_daily]

So, how many threads are we going to get about banning Valium? Seems like the likely culprit in this case.

How many litizens are on that drug?

Should we send in the swat team?

 

[phrodeau]

Best buy up a bunch of Levi’s with reinforced belt loops before they ban ‘em.

How about we start with the biggest problem, and get big money out of politics?

 

[richard_daily]

How about we start with the biggest problem, and get big money out of politics?

We're going after easy answers and easy solutions here...

No sense in talking about the real problems. The echo chambers don't want to allow it.

We need ALL money out of politics. Set up a system where people are given a small budget to run, and let them run on their merits.

The problem is also that people want a spectacle. People magazine, or a mass shooting, it doesn't matter.

 

[Wrmfd]

"we"? You actually mean you socialists.

Give socialists the inch to murder their own babies, and they'll demand a mile to also kill free speech.

Socialism is both a foreign and domestic enemy to the Constitution's mandated republican form of government.

 

[lickitandstickit]

thats a complaint many have had for a very long time. Lobbyist and big business funding for their own personal interests.

Your paranoia runs very deep, now at the point where you attribute all societal ills to your narrow perception of the "Left". You need to get outside of your head more.

You would benefit from spending less time ranting on a porn site and more time in face-to-face conversations in real life, where things are much more nuanced than in your paranoid construct of the world.

Regarding your projection about what "posters" like me would say if the Vegas shooter had been a Moslem, my belief is that ready access to weapons of war has become a national health crisis, especially with a bunch of paranoid people running round and getting revved up in virtual reality. I don't care if it is a religious nut (of any type), an ideological nut (of any type), or if you just lump all of these mass killers into the category of the mentally ill.
