I guess the guy would have felt better if the child had been shot in the face with a shotgun.

A “gun lover” who calls AR15s automatic weapons?

This smell like 100% bull sh*t.

Automatic weapons require a Class III license

Do they not?

Yep. And, the registry is closed. No newly manufactured guns are available for (most) civilian purchasers. Not since the '80s some time. (IIRC).

The selective exemptions need to come off the table going forward. All or none. They have proven the last few years that they cannot be trusted with firearms anymore than the average Joe. In fact it is starting to be less than. All laws must apply and be enforced across the table with no exemptions period.

Just another actor in the information warfare plan to disarm us.

“This jerk is a fraud looking for hero status, IMHO.”

I think you may be right.

Thank you

But of course such soundbites work on stupid people like an idiot at Yahoo who thinks you can order guns through the mail.

Yes, there ARE people that stupid.

There is a dashcam video of the shooter emerging from his vehicle and lighting the place up. A comment poster thinks they here a 3 shot burst - M16.

I listened and I do not think that. This guy has been trained on the rifle in the military and knows how to fast fire the weapon.

“This smell like 100% bull sh*t.”

I agree, LE or Military would NEVER confuse or use the term “Automatic” to describe a Semiautomatic.

No he was not. Just a trained rifleman who knows how to fire the rifle.

The fact: we cannot trust the government to protect us. Actually, it has gotten worse in recent years by the same people who want to disarm us. A lot worse. We expect the government to acknowledge the fact that we have to right to self defense. It is our birthright.

Important point: human nature at its foundation is steeped in evil. This is a fact and it will never change. Nothing you can do will change it.

Civilians may own legal full auto firearms, but there is a limited number of full auto firearms available, and a person must submit paper work, background check, and money to seek approval to be able to own one.

There are illegal conversions that can be done to semi auto firearms, to convert them to full auto. These tend to fire rounds as long as the trigger is pulled, and aren't very controlable.

Glocks with the conversion seem to be the gun of choice among the black gang bangers, from some videos I've seen

This guy is clever. He is going to take his presence at a tragedy and turn it into a millions of bucks.

Every leftist group in the country will pay for this guy to come speak.

M16 or M4 it was not.

Just a trained rifleman.

Those Glock switches are a nasty piece of work, not controllable, but homeboys have never been about good firearm technique.
