Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsGovernor Scott is asked what business a 19 year old has with an AR15
Of course he doesnt answer the question. The sherif has to bail him out and goes off topic about mental health and then ends the press conference.
Fuck their thoughts and prayers.

Militia style training would make things worse. The shooter today used the knowledge he gained from recent active shooter drills at his school.

(50,935 posts)Still not seeing wtf you are talking about me finding time, though.
I'm sure you need to go stroke something metal, so have a nice night.
ETA: most of the comments in your list, that you are clearly making fun of, are simply things that sane people say in the face of slaughter. You seem to be having trouble recognizing that.

(2,337 posts)You can always just read it a little farther up the thread:
"Enjoy the dust bin, I dont have time for your non sense."
Like I said, looks like you found the time.
You're right. My android wife is looking longingly at me, and it IS Valentines day...

(50,935 posts)Not real good on the details are you? Not great for a guy who needs to shoot AR15s because ... well, whatever.

(2,337 posts)You forgot what you said. No big deal. Happens to lots of people.
Squinch
(50,935 posts)Tell me, do you get mixed up about your targets when you're shooting your AR15 too?

That's a WMD, period ... not something I'd think was OK to just buy because it was lawful.

(90,335 posts)Oddly enough, I own several ACTUAL military firearms ACTUALLY designed to kill and maim
You do NOT own every military weapon or firearm designed to kill massive amount of people in a short amount of time with little resources because all of them are not legal.
The AR-15 is legal because of Russian money and hack ass'd NRA who takes tons of it and hacked as KGOP who don't have to worry about there kids being shot up (knock on wood) by a winger who wears "Trump hats" like this kid did.
You can define it however you choose to
I'm going to use reality no that relativism, that's for wingers who want to obfuscate the truth with a slimely sliding scale
The Earth is round, Trumps a traitor, water is wet and a device ... SPECIFICALLY ... designed to kill massive amounts of humans in a short amount of time with little resources are WMDs.
I'm not going to normalize the general public owning them

(32,816 posts)They talked about logistics for the deceased and patted each other on the back. I am truly sickened by this and find it increasingly difficult to send my children to school every day. I despise the gun humpers with the intensity of a thousand white hot suns.
