Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting [W:977, 1014]

Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

I'd rather engage with suppressive counter-sniper fire. Do you understand what suppressive fire is?

LOL. It's a dumb idea. Give it up. No one's going to back you on this. You made a mistake and used the wrong talking point. It's OK!

What's dumb is to insist that doing nothing is a great idea. :lamo
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

Well, I dont know about lawmakers, but I'm thinking and praying.

Thinking and praying that one day GOP lawmakers will have the balls to enact some gun restrictions.

What kind of restrictions?
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

Sandy hook marked the end of the gun control debate. If a bunch of kids getting shot wasn't enough to enact change then nothing will be.

Oh IDK, there is a lot of footage of this one. Lots of people will be able to see themselves in this type of helpless situation and demand accountability. It brings it home vs just hearing about it.

It’s illegal to sell a firearm to a prohibited person.

The way things stand, any prohibited person can very easily get the weapon of their choice. Close the private sale loopholes.
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

What kind of restrictions?

For starters, outlaw semiautomatic rifles. People don't need them, just like they don't need fully automatic ones. And close the private sale loopholes. Register all firearm sales and require licensing, the same way motor vehicle sales are registered and licensed.

But if we do that is that just not a step to outlawing people from having atomic bombs? I mean, those are ARMS too.

Okay - that is me being a smartass - but it fits just the same.
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting


Impressive. 30-40 shots? Wow. :roll:

I'd be impressed if that guy lined up his friends 4 feet to the left, right, just below and just behind that plate, put another guy with an automatic weapon firing at our Youtube star, THEN let Youtube star try to take out the totally stationary metal plate with his Glock without killing or maiming his friends.

Strawman. Lursa addressed this silly point already. You're trolling now.
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

I got a hog with my 44 cap n ball, granted, the range was less than 100ft and I got lucky to stalk up that close, the conditions were perfect, double lung shot, ran 15 ft and was down.

With a 44, I couldn't hit it at 50 feet. I prefer small caliber handguns, which I am good at hitting my target with. When I carry, it's a Beretta .25. LOL.

You don't think there are restrictions on guns now?
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

All a gun ban would do is disarm the law abiding. I don't have any desire to be a defenseless victim.

How does carrying a gun or owning a gun prevent you from becoming defenseless in a case like what just happened? You're in a crowd and shots are being fired all around you - you're armed - what now? You randomly start firing your gun off into the air hoping to find the shooter? Yeah right!! ;) Your reasoning is flawed.

Oh 3G... we just knew you'd be here wanting to restrict freedom, liberty... all for the greater good. Its what you do.

And you are here fighting hard for my freedom to get shot in the street.
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

Who needs to break the law? Got an Ar-15? Just use this link to make it full auto. Like I said the AR-15 is a full auto weapon "tweaked" to fire semi-auto. You just need to tweak it back.

https://www.slidefire.com/ssar15-mod

The link does not reveal a DIY modification. Not many people legally own full autos.

For me, it's not the aiming that makes me miss with large calibres. I've never been able to adjust properly for the kick to hit my target. If you have ever been to a gun range and heard a crapload of cussing, then you have probably met me. LOL.
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

I'd rather engage with suppressive counter-sniper fire. Do you understand what suppressive fire is?

Do you understand that it's not likely he'd even know you were doing so unless you actually hit his window or him?

Not to mention...he could just switch to the other window.

Now they are saying 400 yds. Would like an official distance.

No one 'insisted' that at all.

So here you are at a concert which allows you to bring a sniper rifle in without being arrested, and 400 yards away is a shooter who is firing into the crowd, and there are people all around you. You are elbows to elbows with them. Do you ask them to move out of the way so you can spend a little time setting up your tripod and take some shots at where you think the shots are coming from? Do you understand what suppressive laughter is? LOL.

There were two hogs, I fired twice and missed, they did not move until I dropped the hammer twice, I knew the gun was shooting high, so I aimed at the ground underneath center mass, not like I was aiming for the lungs.

They both ran up a ridge by the river bank, I did not know I hit it until it keeled over and let out 2 death squeals and was stone dead.

My guns shoot a .451 133gr round lead ball with a fairly light powder load of black powder (an empty 38 case full) It weighs 4 pounds unloaded, the recoil is very mild. I'm sure a 44 cartridge with a much heavier bullet, is another matter.
 
Re: Democrats Immediately Call For Gun Control After Las Vegas Shooting

As a public message, I would like to share the NRA's website so you can make a donation. These will be difficult times for them in light of this tragedy, and I think we can all agree they're the real victims here.

When people at that concert heard the gun firing I can sort of see why they temporarily and irrationally felt a twinge of fear. When I watched that video and heard the bullets flying, I heard freedom.

https://home.nra.org/

Give til it hurts, people.

I would just like to thank Bill O'Reilly for echoing what I said, and what we're all thinking:

The NRA and its supporters want easy access to weapons, while the left wants them banned.

This is the price of freedom. Violent nuts are allowed to roam free until they do damage, no matter how threatening they are.

I think I speak for all of us when I woke up to today's news and my first thought was, "Let freedom ring!" :2usflag:
