Strangely enough, you can.They have to take baby steps, surely they could take away assault rifles. Would anyone have a problem with that? Why are they needed? You can't buy bazooka's or grenades can you?
Really? Wow, absolutely crazy.Strangely enough, you can.
The states are all different. NJ for instance is where I live and probably has the toughest laws around. No guns with more than a nine round capacity for both handguns and rifles which is a little misleading because there’s no limit on how many clips you can buy so if you run out of ammo you pop another one in. But they do an extensive background check on handguns. Why don’t on shotguns and rifles I don’t know but the process takes months. That’s about as strict as it gets in the US.Strangely enough, you can.
I believe there's still a ban on hollow point ammunition in NJ as well, unless that was repealed / expired.The states are all different.

Theoretically in some states you can. Just that it should cost a lot, I think 200 in taxes for each ammunition round.Really? Wow, absolutely crazy.
that’s expired . You can’t shoot hollow point at range. That’s about it.I believe there's still a ban on hollow point ammunition in NJ as well, unless that was repealed / expired.

That happened that afternoon. The crime scene was that horrific that they couldn’t identify the kids through normal means.Tweet

This is heartbreaking. Parents are getting swabbed to help identify the victims. FFS.
Would a rifle even be any better than a pistol, hunting one target within a school building at short ranges?
Those look like M-4 or a variant (@Dr. Dwayne ?). That would be a solid platform. Pistols are vastly more inaccurate at any distance.Would a rifle even be any better than a pistol, hunting one target within a school building at short ranges?

Christie admin get rid of that?that’s expired . You can’t shoot hollow point at range. That’s about it.
At that point, they were equal to the shooter’s hardware.Just wondering if there's all that much difference in it, if the argument about waiting for better hardware holds up.
A rifle, especially an AR platform, will outperform a pistol at any range other than basically face to face.Would a rifle even be any better than a pistol, hunting one target within a school building at short ranges?
Wtf. And they just stood around for an hour doing nothing. Should be sackable behaviour.
Everyone gets to LARP high-speed spec-ops dudes nowadaysLost count of how many long guns on cops I saw...
As @calodo2003 said, accuracy is the big difference between pistols and any sort of weapon that you can shoulder. The risk is what happened at an LA mall a few months ago, where a shot can go through walls and still injure/kill someone on the other side if the wall isn't thick.Would a rifle even be any better than a pistol, hunting one target within a school building at short ranges?
Also, I wonder if race played a part in their decision making.Wtf. And they just stood around for an hour doing nothing. Should be sackable behaviour.
Didn’t notice any Hispanic police, might be wrong though.Also, I wonder if race played a part in their decision making.
Marjorie Taylor Greene hinted at secession.Is it reaching the stage where the US needs to be split in half, with the sane living somewhere safe and modern and the lunatics left to themselves in the asylum?
They could build their walls then. Hell those who want to live somewhere they can send their 7 year olds to school without being butchered would probably build the walls for them.
You can. But the people who want more and more guns in every American hands do not want to die in hands of one of the AR-15 weilding guysHow can you have a gun convention without guns?
A medieval fundamentalist Christian theocracy state with thousands of nukes is bad news for the world. Especially if they are bordered with a prosperous rich liberal state, which means that a conflict becomes inevitable.Is it reaching the stage where the US needs to be split in half, with the sane living somewhere safe and modern and the lunatics left to themselves in the asylum?

‘Don’t rush to attribute malice to that which which can adequately be described by incompetence’, or something like that is the quote I’m thinking applies here. If you look at the photo at the local swat team I posted earlier, they definitely weren’t all gringos.Also, I wonder if race played a part in their decision making.
Would they be able to keep the nukes? How long could they afford to maintain them?A medieval fundamentalist Christian theocracy state with thousands of nukes is bad news for the world.

Like I’ve said earlier, a good place to start would be not giving your vote to those that lead us to this very situation in the first place. At the very least acknowledging that it doesn’t work.The nightmare I am referring to is that of a full blown civil war. Of course there is already violence, political and otherwise, plaguing this country,
So what are you doing that is more effective? Stop preaching to me about how my way doesn’t work (I’ll not argue too much that it does) and tell me your better way of effecting change.
But we need to focus on doors.Tweet

Wouldn’t bother me at all. Let them all go to whatever states they want south of the mason dixon line.Marjorie Taylor Greene hinted at secession.
Oh my word
It's sad how little some politicians get paid to be basically bought. Some people vote based on just a $10k donation. But the GOP also made 'pro guns' one of their few policies, so they don't need to be paid to float this bs.Come on now. They didn't sign up for this. They expected to spend their days issuing traffic fines, playing with tasers, and shooting at unarmed black kids. Charging in to take down an equally well armed perpetrator isn't in the brief.
What I can't understand is the gun lobby. Is it really that big of an industry in a $21 trillion economy. How does it wield so much power?
This is beyond imagination for me. You could not make it up in a worse way. The most cowardly and terrible pigs the world has seen.Oh my word
Yeah that's the platform. Oddly they are a little bit long for what Simbo alluded to. Look like at least 20" barrels maybe even 24". Longer than what you'd like indoors. Shooter probably had a 16" because that's what most stock AR-15s are sold with. US Army mostly uses 14.5".Those look like M-4 or a variant (@Dr. Dwayne ?). That would be a solid platform. Pistols are vastly more inaccurate at any distance.
Ballistically it's a pretty even match. Cops edging a close contest on accuracy and muzzle velocity. Ergonomically and geometrically, shorter barrels have the advantage allowing for faster target acquisition and discharge.Just wondering if there's all that much difference in it, if the argument about waiting for better hardware holds up.
