mhendo:
Not only is he not being charged, he’s not even going to lose his carry permit .
I understand that there are plenty of responsible gun owners in the United States, but this is precisely the kind of person that guns need to be taken away from. He’s over 80 years old, and by his own admission he’s carried a gun for years and takes it everywhere, and yet he STILL apparently doesn’t know the difference between chambering a round and inserting a magazine. He also appears not to know what the “loaded chamber” indicator on his own gun means.
Using the pens of The Founding Fathers™, God wrote " the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed ." He didn’t write “right of mentally competent people.” He didn’t write “if they know what a loaded chamber indicator means.” He wrote “Right of the people … shall not be infringed.”
Why do you hate America, mhendo ? :rolleyes:

An excerpt from a recent Facebook post from the father of a student at MSD High School…
If reading another long well written blog post is not your thing, here is a short quiz you can use to determine if you are a gun fetishist and a sociopath:
When someone kills a large number of children using a military weapon, do you rush to the Internet to defend the rights of the weapon?
When someone kills a large number of children using a military weapon, is your first thought that you hope there will be evidence of mental illness? (credit given if its your second thought with your first thought being please let is be a Muslim)
When someone kills a large number of children using a military weapon, do you run out to buy more military weapons?
When someone kills a large number of children using a military weapon, are you pre-armed with poorly sourced, easily debunked alternative facts in defense of your arsenal?
When someone kills a large number of children using a military weapon, do you spend time correcting the terminology people use in describing the weapon?
When someone kills a large number of children using a military weapon, do you like to bring up how the long dead founding fathers support your views? (Do you object to a standing army as strenuously as they would? Can you name any of them?)
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, I would highly recommend you do some serious soul searching. But who are we kidding, you are not capable of that. You would have to have one to be able to search it.

What’s a military weapon?
Any weapon that could realistically be converted to full auto (even with a jury rig like a bump stock) is going to be call a military (style) weapon, even if no army does or would use it.

An AR15 is modeled after the M1 military rifle. Only difference is it’s semi-auto instead of full auto.

eschereal the seriously twisted:

Fair enough. Thanks for the straight answer.

Bump stock are such a stupid idea but they want full auto one way or another. I can turn my Glock to full auto with an attachment and they sell em.
Add the 33 round mag and let er rip!

Ummm, not for those who were in the way of the bullets, I’m sorry, the “freedom sauce” that pours out of the end of a gun.

M16?
You’re right. The M1 is a Garand rifle. My mistake.

“Seeds”. They are “freedom seeds”.
A Northern California Fire Department is raffling off an AR 15 for fund raising purposes.
President Shithead has now suggested arming the teachers. No doubt the gun filth will love that. But CNN has been showing a Trump tweet from the campaign where he chastised Clinton for saying he wanted to put guns in the school.
