Bonehead on a rampage with an SKS. Local is news is mentioning the weapon of course. One local station did mention it ( the SKS ) was not banned by federal law, and one trigger pull = one projectile. This is an extremely rare occurance. And of course, an SKS is cheap to buy, half the price of a used 30-30 lever action, so they are an option for the deer hunter on a budget. Just unfortunate that the weapon has to be as prominant as the crime, I'm sure there will be calls to outlaw the SKS.

I can't figure out how he managed to take on all these people and walked away unscathed. Geraldo Rivera reported that the gun used was an "assault rifle" and that set my alarms off.

The local news here is calling the sks an 'assault rifle', which is odd because it doesn't meet any of the defintions of an 'assault rifle'.

I've got a Ruger Mini-30. One pull...one shot.
Am I a bad person?

I wonder where all my trigger-happy neighbors were with their 7mm Mags? They were around there this weekend.

This bizerk hunter just gave the anti-gun lobby the kind of story they would kill for.

Can I weigh in with the obvious?
This must be a hate crime.
Well, it sure would be if a white guy had shot a bunch of Asians.

Not Blue state on blue state. Blue county on red county violence. According to the article, the shooter is Hmong:
Chai Soua Vang, 36, was arrested early Sunday evening in Sawyer County, Wis., said Sawyer County Sheriff's Deputy Jake Hodgkinson. Vang lives on St. Paul's East Side, police spokesman Paul Schnell said. He was held in the Sawyer County Jail.
And the shooting took place in rural, red Wisconsin, up by Rice Lake.

The weapon used was not an assault weapon according to the definition of "assault weapon". It was a self-loading carbine. An assault weapon is a select-fire intermediate range rifle.
The SKS is evil only because it's cheap.

Coo Coos come in all races but still I would be interested in learing...was he born in the US or is he an immigrant? If the Left throws "assault weapons" at us we should throw liberal immigration policies back at them.
