Fringe lunatic liberals are no longer at the fringe. They are simply just lunatics.

You know that if the situation was reversed they’d all be saying Trump may as well have pulled the trigger himself.

"But does anyone know the caliber of the weapon?"

It was a 7.62x39 SKS. CNN et al have been going batsh!t about it being an "assault rifle".

My understanding is that it has the ballistics of a .30-30, and the one I shot had the rear sight cranked over so far, just to keep the hits on the paper, that there were zero clicks of windage left.

I was underwhelmed.
