Thompson sub machine gun. Developed in 1918 fires a bullet twice as wide and 4 times heavy as the AR-15, and used up to a 50 (yes 50) round drum magazine. High capacity magazines are not a recent development or limited to the AR-15.
Attended school in the 50s and early 60s, the only thing we may have been anxious about was being called on in class and not knowing the answer. . .. or peer pressure in the latter grades. Never experienced any bullying nor knew anyone who did.
We kids felt safe during that time; we could ride our bikes around, roller skate, play ball until it got dark, or play hide and seek/kick the can, run around the neighborhood on Halloween, play in our yards, etc., etc. without ever having the fear of being abducted or abused.
In the latter 50s our biggest challenge was getting home from school as fast as we could to watch American Bandstand!
Children of today have had that freedom stolen from them.

So the rise of this type of violence has a clear correlation to the rise of the military industrial complex and progressivism since that time period.
There is a clear connection to both of them. Two sides of the same coin.
The people who want to return to the 1950s the most are people who either lived afterwards or were children back then. Their entire perception of the era is based off stereotypes and nostalgia. Most people I've talked to who were adults in the 1950s have a different perspective on the decade. It seems that most people today assume that shows like Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best were accurate representations of most people's lives back then. Those shows were to the '50s what Friends was to the '90s. How many people were living lives that were anything like the Friends characters in 1996?
"Friends", that is an interesting one.
Back in my psychology-media research, there was one note in a journal that noted that HS students with an overly healthy TV watching habit expected that after graduation, they would get jobs where they wouldn't have to do much, would pay them a lot of money, and they would have a lot of free time.
From what little I know of "Friends", that sounds exactly like the show. After all, who lives in NYC in a nice apartment if they don't have a lot of cash?
Sigh, A and B.
A: TV does influence us all a lot. Just look at all the people who thought Texans were like those on "Dallas".
B: Curiously enough, there is one aspect of TV shows that hardly ever occurs but occurs so much in real life and yet, we don't seem to notice that difference. That is that the people on TV....often are not watching TV at all in their lives.

Was originally intended as a "trench clearer" for WWI, shotguns turned out to be better suited. Then marketed to ranchers, and farmers for protection against varmints, etc. The 30's saw them used by gangsters, and police during Prohibition. Later they were used successfully by our troops in WWII.
No, it isn't. It is normal for people to want to and be able to defend themselves. It is not normal for people to condone those type of crimes, like progressives do with their light sentences and perverted media.
The pornography industry is not produced by conservatives, it is produced by liberals who are immoral. They like to use the first amendment freedom of speech to peddle their smut which is totally wrong and disgusting.
Conservatives did not create a nation addicted to online pornography which many of your kids see. Progressives are the party of perversion.
Progressives are responsible for just about every problem in America today! There is nothing normal about homosexual marriage either, it is a total perversion.
The pornography industry is full of disease and suicide. Many of the younger generation think that type of sexual behavior is normal now, thanks to moral -less-progressives who are sick people obviously.

It is the progressive democrats who think the draft(conscription) is a good idea and want to bring it back to make things 'fair'(LOL)
One example of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Rangel
Nixon, although actually a progressive in some respects(most in good ways), did away with forced conscription, not the democrats.
Democrat-Progressives are full of BS.
