For both sides, what gun being used is meaningless. The lefties' focus on the "assault weapon" is ridiculous but the pro-gun's focus on "no rifle being used" is only slightly less ridiculous.

Look at thing objectively please!

Guns don't kill people. Bad guys murder people. Bad guys with guns murder a lot of people and good guys with guns stop all lot of bad guys from murdering people.

So try to disarm bad guys while arm the good guys as much as possible.

Best post of the day!!!

To me, the gun does not matter. The fact that this monster has easy access to four guns of any type which would/could quickly kill "a lot of people" quickly is what bothers me.

Looks more like a wood stock than an black rifle.

Actually ... police audio and video shows that to be the case, and the "Savior Rush" has nothing to do with the validity of the information.

If Rush said the sun would rise tomorrow morning, are you going to dismiss the prediction?

Then figure out how to stop their access while making sure the good guys have such access.
