Stop lying. An AR-15 does not have an auto selector.
Your typical civilian Ar-15 you can buy right off the shelf (no wait time) does have a selector switch - safe and semi-fire.
They do sell fully automatic weapons in stores, gun shows and online, but like I mentioning in my past post, you're going to need a stringent FBI check, long wait time 6-8 months, and a lot of money 10-15k. You just cant walk in and buy a fully automatic assault riffle in one day. That's just ridiculous! Unless you live in South America, LOl
If there were no guns then no one could shoot. Ask China Canada Australia etc how many gun homicides they had last year.
While you're at it, ask Australia how many mass killings they've had since banning guns?
The number of mass killings by guns has gone down, but the number of mass killings by other means has skyrocketed, keeping the total number of people killed in mass killings virtually the same. The only difference is that now instead of shooting the victims, they beat them or set them on fire.
Learn the facts before you start spouting nonsense.
My guess is that it is propaganda for third world countries where people will hear the headline of the ISIS claim. They want that audience to believe they have that reach.
This is a really good hypothesis. If foreign headlines in ISIS-supported areas suggest their involvement, their uneducated and resourceless followers will simply lap it up as truth.
Blown out windows- two in number- belong to one room only?. In that case, its a pretty big room.
The two windows were like 10-15 windows apart. Couldn't have been the same room.
Were they (or at least one of them) have been broken by police firing at (what they thought were) muzzle flashes? Police standing on the ground in front of the hotel? Maybe one window had someone with a camera taking pictures of the concert? (An excessively stupid thing to do.)
Hard to believe the cops would fire at a window like that without more positive ID of the target. Then again, literally hundreds of people were screaming out with gunshot wounds.
I for one am ok with figuring out who, how, and why these incidents are happening.
If it's terrorism --- then do what needs to be done to crack down on terrorism.
And if that means closing the borders --- THEN DO IT!!!
Unless we're shutting down the borders on middle aged white guys, I don't see how that would help this situation at all.
We've also spent... untold billions on "terrorism". Between secret courts, CIA torture sites, billions spent on the War on Terror... shouldn't we already know what "needs to be done"?
Seriously. How long have we been fighting this "war", and we still cannot combat terrorism?
Anyways, it will be interesting to see the complete profile of the attacker(s). I wonder if they'll ever discover a motive.
God bless the families of those affected. Otherwise, it's just another day in the USA.
I don't need to stop anything. YOU need to get off of CD and go to your local Academy (depending on your state) and look for yourself. You're just talking crap on a forum when anyone, even you, can walk your happy arse in there, and buy one. We can talk about this all day... But your just wasting you time... Go in and look and get off the forum.
This is a really good hypothesis. If foreign headlines in ISIS-supported areas suggest their involvement, their uneducated and resourceless followers will simply lap it up as truth.
Look at Europe, lots of mass killings. Some with guns, some by running crowds over, some by bombs.
The problem is not the thing used to kill its the people who want to do these things. Until we figure out how to stop them before they strike it will continue.
Europe has FAR LESS mass violence from their own domestic population. What they have of recent is due to Islamic terrorism. In our nation, the gun-owning citizens too ofte are the terrorists.
Let's keep doing the same thing and hoping for different results...
