Not only guns, the bikers wars in the 1990s in Quebec between Hell's Angels and the Rock Machine (another biker gang) also involved bombs. Quebec biker-war victim Daniel Desrochers, 11, remembered 20 years later - Montreal - CBC News

First time I heard of the killer Burger King, I mainly heard of the Burger Chef one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_Chef_murders

I have a 45 with several 13 round magazines. My 100 round rate of fire is similar with that of my 300 Blackout and AR-556 with 30 round magazines.

So, is my 45 a "machine gun type gun"?

It's ok if you say yes, I just want to be clear on what you regard as "machine gun type guns".
It sounds much more dramatic if they say "machine guns". It also means their ignorance is showing.

How many more mass shootings do you want to see before we put in place some basic firearms reform (not bans)?

How are you going to feel next time when it's some folks from your family?

A Christian kid who strayed away from faith as a young adult perhaps? It is a thing that many if not most do in their teens and 20s.

Yup, that's what I just read too. Court martial-ed and dishonorably discharged.

They don't care. We are all scared of the Gun Lobby.

Sucks to have enough of these events to be talking about them back to back on the news.

It doesn't really matter who he is. If he were black it wouldn't be my fault, if he's a white guy it doesn't mean its white guy's faults. Same with liberal or conservative, atheist, Muslim, etc.

Mass shootings aren't a team sport people. Sucks anyway you look at it.

I'm that holdout guy. Shot a rifle since I was 7, won awards at military school, etc. and I hope to never own a firearm. I do have some bear spray tho - just got it. I think it may help if a dog comes after me...or even a human.

Come to think of it, a small flame thrower might be neat. Problem is, the house will need serviced afterwards.
Since the shooter is a white male, I think that's why you posted the above.

You would probably have a totally different version of thoughts if the same atrocity was done by a middle eastern guy using the same gun.

This is called brain washing by the media where our thoughts are not our thoughts anymore.

Yeah, however and I think it'll slip into conspiracy theories territory then it happened a couple of days after that guy used his truck to hit pedestrians in NYC and around the same moment then Mueller do his investigation and adding then some bloggers said it happened on Guy Fawkes day.
