“Assault Rifle”, really, you know that to be true?
You must have amazing vision to see the selector switch and pin for the auto-sear!
Since PD are required to “Account” for every round fired it’s extremely unlikely the subject AR is fully automatic.

If it is not FA, it is not an AW.
Please do not adopt or accept the careless language of the anti’s.

After a century of public schooling progressing to the vacuous socialism that is taught now and five decades of actively taught socialism and nihilism in the Universities the population has no spirit left, simply resigns itself to accept whatever the barbarians offer. All those hundreds of millions of guns are wasted resources if no one can use them when it becomes necessary to preserve civilization. We just stand by and let it all happen.

Well-stated, arthurus. Thanks.

And our children better not use their hand to look like a gun in school. CPS will be out to take them from “terrorist” parents...and by the way they had guns in the house which had to be confiscated before the parents were hauled off to solitary confinement senior centers, re-education camps, or assassinated.

Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it’s coming from as it moves swiftly towards you. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Blue cities don’t like law abiding citizens to have guns. That’s why

Anecdote I heard from a former Holly-Weird resident.
His story was that he owned a liquor store the was being looted during the RK riots.
He lived in an apartment across the street, on the second floor.
Said that when he saw what was starting to happen he made an improvised silencer for his .22 rifle.
As each looter came out of the store he shot them in a knee, which caused them to drop their loot.
After about five the word was spread and they just avoided his store.
Now way to confirm, but it does seem plausible.
The range would have been pretty short, and with a literal riot at hand I wonder if the improvised suppressor would have even been needed.

I looked up some of that guy’s other quotes and found a good one:

“The same old caveman feeling-greed, envy, violence, and mutual hate, which along the way assumed respectable pseudonyms like class struggle, racial struggle, mass struggle, labor-union struggle-are tearing our world to pieces.”

When I teach safe pistol fundamentals and marksmanship classes, I ALWAYS stress to the students: “Behind every bullet is a lawyer.”

It is a fact that some armed victims perish because of this. They’re more afraid of the courts than they are of a gang-banger with a club.

Because the mob will tear you limb from limb, and then the cops will shoot you.

It's bound to happen very soon, business owner shoots and kills thugs destroying his shop.

Already happened. LEOs showed up the next day and arrested the business owner. Looters ransacked his business just minutes later as police stood by and watched.

This is orchestrated, folks.

Good question. I dunno the answer to that one.
...............................................
There are many people, in fact the vast majority, who have always relied on law enforcement to protect them from harm, and who therefore lack the psychological mindset required to actually commit violence in defense of themselves and their family. Conversely, violent thugs readily take advantage of this weakness and attack their victims with impunity.

Two main reasons that I can think of.

First, many are sheeple and could never defend themselves. It is simple character flaw.

Second, and even more terrifying, is they know any effort to defend themselves will result in the state (city, county state or federal) coming after them and the state can and will do much more lasting damage to a person’s life than just a beating.

As far as I know,not one cop pulled a weapon on the a-holes even when they were beaten the sh*t out of. They follow orders. I would have used my weapon and probably be charged with murder and the left would have found more excuse to act like barbarians.

Bingo.

That’s why in firearms training we are taught to carry multiple magazines. Have as many rounds as possible at the ready.

The cops are obviously not able to protect them.

True in some cases. My opinion is that in most cases they are unwilling to do so more than unable to do so.

So when these vicious mobs are looting, beating people to death and burning down their businesses, they should remember this.

Funny how the law abiding victims are the one's being warned and threatened.

Because government is on the looters’ side.

What I find ironic is for decades we’ve watched law enforcement ramp up in a military style stance and tactics, costing the tax payers many billions, we now see them stand and watch this epic widespread violent anarchy and lawlessness.

Begs the question, who exactly was all this militarization of the law enforcement for?

Because the government will lock them up and destroy them if they defend themselves, also the government will do nothing to protect them from the opposition parties terrorists.

Bottom line. Your job is to die taxpayer slave.

First you have to defend your life from the mob. Then you have to kill the government agents sent to ruin you. Eventually you will be killed by the police. If you are actually serious about defending your life and freedom.

So true. I’m fortunate to be in very close proximity to sharp shooters and sharp thinkers. My Finn neighbor has a reverence for Simo Hayha. I had never heard of him but being of Finn ancestry also, I took a very fast liking to him. My Grandmother (RIP Tecla) came over on the boat from Finland, but never mentioned him...she always called me a stubborn Finn.
