“When mass shootings are performed by anyone other than a white guy, they media doesn’t show it.”

Untrue.

I’ve been shocked the last 10 years that 3 of our mass murders have been: blacks (yes, also Moslem, and I think a bit faggy), oriental(!!!!!), and Moslem (not their typical MO). They were definitely in the news.

But I keep guessing “white guy” and this last time, I was right again.

I wonder what they consider an arsenal?

If you have sufficient guns and ammo to kill, “A mess o’ squirrels” for supper they will call it an arsenal. Two handguns, a rifle and a shotgun with a grand total of 200 rounds of ammo constitute a “major arsenal”. Anything more than that is considered proof of insanity.

Actually it is possible to fire two weapons at once, even two rifles or shotguns. I see two as the practical limit or impractical but possible, depending on how you view it. I am sure I could handle a couple of Marlin .22 semiauto rifles at once and could actually hit something at short range. Two revolvers or pistols are quite doable, at short range I could possible hit a beer can with my right hand and a semi truck with my left hand.

In Wal-Mart today I noticed a .177 pellet rifle with an advertised muzzle velocity of 1300 feet per second. That is comparable to some of the hyper velocity .22 rounds. I wouldn’t want to get hit with one of those.

Those are both examples of what my late father referred to as “Hellion guns”. He used to frequently refer to his but never actually produced it for me to see.

Just a comment, I had not seen one with that high a muzzle velocity before. A couple of those would definitely be called an arsenal by the lamestream media.

Have a great day!

We have a Remington .177 air rifle that comes up on the chronometer with a muzzle speed of 2100fps which is not unusual with the better air rifles. I think Beeman makes a match grade .177 that is close to 2500fps.
