I have never been asked to define the term "assault weapon" so how can you possibly know that I can't? And why would my definition really matter? I see that as a problem for the experts and those writing the laws. You and your ilk throw around the term Socialist and none of you can define it.
(puts on repugnant skin)... ..."The mentally ill need to learn personal responsibility, damn it!" (sheds repugnant skin, which immediately crawls into a dark corner, muttering to itself about taxes and "libruls" destroying America.) ****************************************** Really though, like repugnants would fund anything not oil-related. "Every school should have armed guards!" Uh huh. And that will be funded by what? The tooth fairy? Seriously, repugnants are not in favor of funding for schools OR mental institutions, so where is the funding going to come from?
There is lots more where this came from; ...and about you employees, do you say they were or were not unionized?
x4 (you just look like an even bigger retard when you ignore a question that actually pertains to the topic of discussion)
The Republicans who have been yawping about "mental health" and "more police" as a response to this issue might have more credibility if it weren't for the fact that their party has been largely responsible for cutting funding for both. "Beyond Gun Control: Republicans Routinely Sabotage Mental Health And Police Budgets" "GOP health budget cuts mental health, social programs" Similar stories are not hard to find, and this is something that goes back decades, at least to the time of the sainted Ronald Reagan, who made drastic cuts to mental health programs as governor of California, and supported similar cuts on the federal level when he became president. How soon we forget.
Given the completely slack standards at this site for supporting arguments with actual facts, and for citing sources when facts are asserted, not to mention tolerance of blatant plagiarism, I'm not surprised that nobody has questioned the above. Why bother?
I am not much interested in this side road being taken but... Seriously? You mean these guys? http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/new-black-panther-party Because unless you are meaning something else by eliminating the word 'Party', they are not some huge organization but there are certainly more than 3 dudes! Yes, 'former' Black Panther Party members do not recognize the New Black Panther Party as being legitimate but that doesn't mean it ceases to exist. SPLC Says: The New Black Panther Party is a virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers. Wikipedia says: As of 2009, the NBPP claimed a few thousand members organized in 45 chapters, while independent estimates by the Anti-Defamation League suggest that the group is "much smaller" but is nevertheless able to attract a large turnout of non-members Which is pretty much a goal of any good hate group.
Who here would term this an "assault weapon"? View attachment 1205 http://nation.foxnews.com/gun-control/2013/01/18/what-nut
The funny part of that was he had his finger in the trigger the hole time he was holding the gun or at least until someone suggested that he needs to move his finger.
Ummmmm, yeah. That is exactly the type of person who should not own or handle a gun. Holding it with your thumb on the trigger? I can see why he is afraid of guns...ignorance and unfamiliarity breeds fear. But, to me, that gun isn't near as scary to me as the ignorant dumb ass holding it.
The AK-47 was the soviet response to the Sturmgewehr-44 (some allege they stole the basic design), the world's first assault rifle, so yeah, it's an assault-rifle by definition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StG_44 And yes, guns in untrained hands are dangerous, obviously.
