Governor Scott is asked what business a 19 year old has with an AR15

Of course he doesn’t 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.

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

As it is completely legal on federal level to purchase a rifle be it an AR-15 type or "traditional" bolt-action rifle. Handgun purchases are restricted to 21 and older.
