> [@Slash1972](#): > > He said he doesn’t like laws. And besides, I can’t believe there is a law against machine guns anyway. Now, only criminals will have machine guns! How can I defend myself against machine guns, if I’m not allowed to buy machine guns? Move to a state where fully automatic rifles are legal. Actually, it appears they are legal in Florida. Of course, you still have to go about it the legal way and the legal way involves a lot of $$$. A drop-in auto sear is not the way. ---

Of course, you still have to go about it the legal way and the legal way involves a lot of $$$. A drop-in auto sear is not the way. That’s strange. It almost seems like laws have made it more difficult to get a fully automatic rifle. That can’t be. ---

You’d try to pick on one of your students, and they would own you, leaving you fleeing to the teacher’s lounge for a good cry. You should go back to school and learn from the children how to be an effective bully. It seems to be your life desire, but it is simply beyond your current skill. ---

The incident occurred on Interstate 35W, just south of downtown Minneapolis. The man in the video appeared to be wearing a security guard uniform. The suspect put his hands up when a Minnesota State Patrol trooper arrived and is arrested. Lilly was charged with attempted murder, CBS Minnesota reported." ---
