Utopia Talk / Politics / another shooter... Colorado food store

tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Mar 22 16:43:57 some alleged video here http://twitter.com/YWNReporter/status/1374108323956539395 i don't vouch for that outlet but Boulder Police Dept. put out this too: "ALERT: Active Shooter at the King Soopers on Table Mesa. AVOID THE AREA. PIO is en-route." so probably accurate
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Mar 22 17:27:05 that reporter showing a possible suspect: http://twitter.com/YWNReporter/status/1374121888885133316 probably not how he started out dressed... but who knows...
Y2A Member	Mon Mar 22 17:44:32 I was watching a guy that was inside the grocery store that was live streaming it on YT (some cop follower guy). There were several down.
Y2A Member	Mon Mar 22 17:45:33 yeah, actually that is the guy's video you have on twitter.
Y2A Member	Mon Mar 22 17:47:11 this is his live stream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikujTMetrUk
Sam Adams Member	Mon Mar 22 17:59:18 Sounds like a bad one. Damn. Lots of psychos out there.
Y2A Member	Mon Mar 22 18:05:25 they are live at another scene with police with guns out. check it out, they are speculating that they are at the shooter's house.
kargen Member	Mon Mar 22 18:28:47 http://kdv...for-active-shooter-in-boulder/ Local station with live coverage and updates.
kargen Member	Mon Mar 22 18:32:01 Witnesses are saying they saw multiple people down and hospitals are saying they only received one person from the scene and that was the guy led away in handcuffs. So either really bad with anybody shot being dead or really good and all the people on the ground were just seeking cover.
Rugian Member	Mon Mar 22 18:40:06 A) They should have killed him. B) The cameraman in OP is Darwin Award levels of stupid. Yeah, just enter the building with the active shooter while loudly yelling into your smartphone. Holy shit.

tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Mar 22 20:39:33 a classic hoax shooting to promote gun laws... as congresswoman Greene would easily believe
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Mar 22 21:26:30 10 dead including a cop according to police chief
Y2A Member	Mon Mar 22 21:27:33 wow, alot of ppl were speculating that it was 6.
Y2A Member	Mon Mar 22 22:50:00 speculation that it is a local criminal loon named Thomas Hayner. Self-representation court "documents" (if you can even call it that) give off sovereign citizen vibes. http://twitter.com/DanielBYahraes/status/1374202311203987459

Im better then you 2012 UP Football Champ	Mon Mar 22 22:55:06 wow two mass shootings in less than a week.... Pandemic must be over.
Cherub Cow Member	Mon Mar 22 23:34:33 Mass shooter season! Must be time to partaaaaaay! If anyone wants to try the new mass-shooter themed micro-brews, just message the group chat and we'll roll out. I had a pint of "Brenton Tarrant's Manifesto" last week. It was pretty good. A nice sour beer with kiwi flavor. .. [Rugian]: "B) The cameraman in OP is Darwin Award levels of stupid. Yeah, just enter the building with the active shooter while loudly yelling into your smartphone. Holy shit." Gotta get those updoots. If you see an opportunity to start your independent journalism channel, you take it ;) .. [Y2A]: "A)" That's such a tired and ignorant narrative. People need to realize that the reason that peaceful apprehension is possible is that people can change the severity of a scenario with their own actions. Even Anders Breivik was apprehended peacefully after his actions because he wanted to be taken alive and thus surrendered without resistance. And, naturally, they list Breonna Taylor as "sleeping", when in fact she was standing in a hallway next to her boyfriend who had just fired a shot at police. And they neglect to mention that Tamir Rice's "toy gun" was a realistic 9mm replica which he was holding towards police (not that those police didn't screw up too). It's an argument of false causality. If they keep people from understanding that their actions create specific effects and instead make them think that nothing they do matters, then, in ignorance, these people produce the very sensational headlines that they've been warned about by creating conflict in dangerous situations. People who understand those situations know better how they may survive them. But corruption in media knows the narrative, and by telling people that it's purely race, then they can continue the media's racialist strategy — getting minorities killed to feed them power.
hood Member	Mon Mar 22 23:48:46 Yes, imagine needing to survive interactions with the police, like it shouldn't simply be the expected outcome.
Y2A Member	Tue Mar 23 00:00:07 Might not be Hayner, it might be the case that Hayner just called in saying he was the shooter because they had a separate incident where someone called in claiming they were involved and the SWAT team came out to check it out.

Cherub Cow Member	Tue Mar 23 01:26:02 [hood]: "Yes, imagine needing to survive interactions with the police, like it shouldn't simply be the expected outcome." lulz. I love jokes about people with low awareness. It has a shade of that "police shouldn't kill guilty people either" meme to it. Of course, in any practical, non-meme reality, people survive everyday interactions without issue. People in casinos know to keep their hands visible because casinos worry about theft and cheating, so in good faith, good patrons will avoid suspicious behavior such as leaving hands in their pockets or hiding their identities with hoodies. People in expensive retail stores will conduct themselves similarly, not carrying large, open bags that could be used to scoop merchandise off the shelves; not standing too close shelves; and staying visible — making it easy for retail workers to focus on helping rather than on loss prevention. Good patrons of a shooting range will keep their weapons secured and unloaded while moving around others; at the line, they will keep weapons pointed down range — making it easy for range operators and other patrons to focus on themselves. In traffic, people will survive commutes by behaving predictably, being courteous, driving defensively, signaling intent, and following the rules of the road. People do these things because certain scripts make social interactions easier and less volatile. In the case of police in the United States, police deal with people who will pull out lethal weapons and try to kill them with no warning or no clear reason at a moment's notice, so good citizens will be aware of the difficulty that officers face and try to make the work of officers less confrontational. Good citizens will keep their hands visible, not reach for things without warning, move slowly, and act predictably — all which should sound familiar from dozens of other public interactions. That is why, in fact, "the expected outcome" is survival; police interactions consistently have been statistically mundane. Most people know how to behave, so officers do not even have to think about reaching for a weapon. Some have no clue how to behave. They'll fail to observe every social script that would let them avoid scrutiny; and instead, they'll create problems for themselves. They'll get in car accidents, they'll have workers follow them in retail stores, they'll have staff ask them to change their behavior. These flawed characters do not encapsulate *every* police interaction, but we can find this level of ignorance in the lowest of low discourse on Twitter and Imgur. They'll even encourage it among themselves, saying that they should not *have* to behave well with police — that they should be able to push every button and see no difference in treatment — like a bad retail customer who thinks that the worker is a sin-eater for their vitriol. People unaware of the effects of their behavior find themselves surprised by consequences.
Paramount Member	Tue Mar 23 02:05:33 Was it an anti-vaxxer?
Paramount Member	Tue Mar 23 02:13:06 This is an example of gross violation of human rights in the USA. People are not safe in the US. The most basic human right – the right to life, is being violated in the US and the US government does nothing. If people were being gunned down and massacred every week in any other country then EU and the US would put sanctions on them for human rights violations.

Sam Adams Member	Tue Mar 23 10:21:18 Shooter was a muslim. Ahmad al issa.
Sam Adams Member	Tue Mar 23 10:25:03 Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa
Sam Adams Member	Tue Mar 23 11:08:09 Had plenty of pro-muslim, pro-immigrant, and anti-trump rhetoric on facebook page. "Followed" a number of left wing political news outfits such as washington post and the intercept.
Paramount Member	Tue Mar 23 11:20:12 ARVADA, Colorado—Authorities on Tuesday identified the suspect in the shooting deaths of 10 people at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, whose brother said he was deeply disturbed. Alissa described his brother as “very anti-social” and paranoid, adding that, in high school, he would describe “being chased, someone is behind him, someone is looking for him.” “When he was having lunch with my sister in a restaurant, he said, ‘People are in the parking lot, they are looking for me.’ She went out, and there was no one. We didn’t know what was going on in his head,” Alissa said, admitting that he believes his brother is mentally ill. [...] She said she was shocked, and the family never suspected their brother capable of committing this act of violence. “We’re shocked. He is nice, a quiet brother,” the 30-year-old told The Daily Beast, declining to give her name. According to the suspect’s brother, the motivation may not have been a political one. “[It was] not at all a political statement, it’s mental illness,” Ali Aliwi Alissa told The Daily Beast. “The guy used to get bullied a lot in high school, he was like an outgoing kid but after he went to high school and got bullied a lot, he started becoming anti-social.” http://www...ssacre-suspect-as-ahmad-alissa On that picture of him it looks like it says MAGA on his necklace or whatever it is that he has around his neck.
Paramount Member	Tue Mar 23 11:27:34 ” “This cannot be our new normal,” he said. “We should be able to feel safe in our grocery stores. We should be able to feel safe in our schools, in our movie theaters and in our communities. We need to see a change.””. – from NY Post It has been your normal for decades. Your government does nothing. They are actually helping these killers to carry out these killings by not removing the guns from the stores and the streets. And thus, the US govt is violating your fundamental human right – your right to life. The world needs to put sanctions on selected individuals/officials in the US (the pro-gun/killing people) until they change and respect human rights.
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 11:33:15 Life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness, you freedom-hating asshole
habebe Member	Tue Mar 23 11:36:21 paramount, For context suicide kills way more people. So it lends credence to mental illness being the culprit. people like their guns.Just like cars and pools.
Y2A Member	Tue Mar 23 13:45:34 it's actually a curveball that it is not a MAGA. with that said, although he is muslim it doesn't seem (at this point) that he is an islamic fundamentalist.
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 13:46:17 Maybe he's a MAGA Muslim???!!!!!!!

Authorities are looking into his background, but did not immediately release additional information on his past. His Facebook page, which has now been deleted, said he lived in Syria until moving to the United States when he was about three years old. “born in Syria 1999 came to the USA in 2002,” he wrote on his Facebook profile. “I like wrestling and informational documentaries that’s me.”"

kargen Member	Tue Mar 23 16:05:11 "They are actually helping these killers to carry out these killings by not removing the guns from the stores and the streets." Yeah because taking away guns will cure all the mental illness that people are suffering. I don't think it would have mattered in this case but in 2019 Colorado passed a law that greatly hinders how police and others can help with people that are suffering from a mental illness.
Cherub Cow Member	Tue Mar 23 16:26:46 Pretty hilarious "i no guns good" moments from this CNN article: "Here's what we know about the Boulder, Colorado, mass shooting suspect" [CNN; By Ray Sanchez; March 23rd, 2021] http://www...do-shooting-suspect/index.html • "The weapon used in the attack was an AR-15-style pistol modified with an arm brace, according to the source." A "pistol" that is AR-15-style? Fascinating. • The warrant described Alissa as being armed with either an assault rifle or "black AR-15" Either/or? • "Using law enforcement databases, the affidavit said, investigators determined Alissa had purchased a Ruger AR556 pistol on March 16." Okay.. so it's a "pistol"... but it's also a Ruger AR556.. which is a rifle. Gotcha :| The Ray Sanchez who wrote this article is considered one of CNN's firearm go-to writers, having written dozens of articles on firearms debates and anti-firearms protests over the years ( http://muckrack.com/ray-sanchez/articles ). Good thing that no one reads CNN.

kargen Member	Tue Mar 23 17:16:57 There was one witness on local news that said it sounded like an AR-15. A few more people interviewed also mentioned an AR-15. I doubt any of them could pick an AR-15 out of a line-up. http://www.memedroid.com/memes/detail/2106694
Sam Adams Member	Tue Mar 23 17:23:52 I may be mistaken about under obama.
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 17:37:37 The niece of the President of the United States, ladies and gentlemen: "Meena Harrris was forced to delete a tweet erroneously assuming the race of the suspected killer of 10 people in a Boulder grocery store, after it was revealed he was of Syrian descent. "The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country," Meena Harris tweeted on Monday." http://www...eena-harris-kamala-niece-tweet
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 17:38:03 not to be contradictory but Ruger -does- have a "AR556 Pistol" page http://ruger.com/products/ar556Pistol/models.html
Habebe Member	Tue Mar 23 17:41:33 Rugian, Its clear the Harris family are bigots. Being 100% genuine, that is plain and clear bigotry and racism.
Habebe Member	Tue Mar 23 17:50:15 That said, its not surprising, as light skinned as she is, blacks are the most racist race in the US and apparently the seed is strong.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 17:54:00 he looked white to me too and she could be referring to fairly recent FBI director comments about the biggest part of domestic terrorism cases being racially motivated extremism & the biggest part of racially motivated extremism cases being white supremacists
Habebe Member	Tue Mar 23 18:03:20 No, she clearly explained her assumptions in an "apology" tweet. Pretty much saying most mass shooters are white so she assumed they all were. As for the fbi, yawn, without clear evidence no one trusts their judgement anymore.All intelligence agencies really. They are political tools.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 18:10:50 she's probably lying... that photo was out very early (as demonstrated by being in my 2nd post) & would be a weird assumption to make based on nothing she probably doesn't want to admit to misguessing since probably happens to her all the time (or maybe she believed one of the other alleged suspects put out that were wrong)
Y2A Member	Tue Mar 23 18:29:10 in the video where he gets hauled out in his boxers he does look white though. combine that with the extraordinary number of white mass shooters then it makes sense how someone could jump the gun.
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 18:33:00 "13% of the population but 50% of the murders. Violent black men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country." Try posting that on Twitter and see how long your account lasts.
hood Member	Tue Mar 23 18:35:52 "he looked white to me too" It's almost like most syrians are caucasian.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 18:51:35 "...black men are the greatest terrorist..." that's not terrorism though... the reason i suspect Meena was referencing the FBI director comments was her mention of terrorism (& as it was fairly recent)...but i'm not an expert on the VP's niece Meena's correction actually sounds dumber than the original tweet :p (plus sounds like a lie as noted)
Forwyn Member	Tue Mar 23 19:04:22 "A "pistol" that is AR-15-style? Fascinating." "not to be contradictory but Ruger -does- have a "AR556 Pistol" page" It's an arbitrary distinction created by the faggots in the ATF. Carbines below a certain length, especially if they have "pistol braces" (stocks) or forearm braces, are considered to legally be pistols.
Y2A Member	Tue Mar 23 19:08:11 "It's almost like most syrians are caucasian." i meant white white.
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 19:29:58 So now Ay-rabs are white. At this rate, we're only a couple of years away from toxic white men having committed 9/11.
habebe Member	Tue Mar 23 20:17:51 jump the gun. Rugian Member Tue Mar 23 18:33:00 "13% of the population but 50% of the murders. Violent black men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country." Try posting that on Twitter and see how long your account lasts. ------- Exactly. She also said that the fact that he is alive made her assume he was white, which she very well could have been lying. just like the old " could you imagine if they qere black" that gets tossed onto everything. And yet BLM rioters were routinely not charged or released with charges dropped, but over 400 people were charged with the Capitol riot.
Y2A Member	Tue Mar 23 20:18:12 Imagine dying in your 20s, in your prime, with your whole life in front of you because some deranged lunatic was able to get his hands on a gun. "The victims have been identified by police as Denny Stong, 20, Neven Stanasic, 23, Rikki Olds, 25, Tralona Bartkowiak, 49, Suzanne Fountain, 59, Teri Leiker, 51, Officer Talley, 51, Kevin Mahoney, 61, Lynn Murray, 62, and Jody Waters, 65. Photos and details about the victims are available here."
kargen Member	Tue Mar 23 20:49:04 And imagine if that same deranged lunatic couldn't get a gun so he drove a rental truck through the front of the store. And imagine if instead he decided to ignite the propane containers found outside a lot of these types of stores. Deranged evil people will find a way to do evil things. The gun wasn't the problem. It rarely is.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 21:09:45 your examples are crap... is there an instance of anyone ever detonating propane tanks as method of mass killing? if it’s just as preferable why not just as common? same for renting a truck... yes a Muslim terrorist did it, also had a gun iirc... both severely limit your targets plus remove some of the enjoyment presumably as again is obvious based on people NOT doing it if they can’t get the gun they want they just go for a different gun
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 21:16:42 "tumbleweed the wanderer Tue Mar 23 21:09:45 your examples are crap... is there an instance of anyone ever detonating propane tanks as method of mass killing?" Well not exactly propane tanks, but... "The Bath School disaster, also known as the Bath School massacre, was a series of violent attacks perpetrated by Andrew Kehoe on May 18, 1927, in Bath Township, Michigan, United States. The attacks killed 38 elementary schoolchildren and 6 adults, and injured at least 58 other people. Prior to his timed explosives going off at the Bath Consolidated School building, Kehoe had murdered his wife, Nellie Price Kehoe, and firebombed his farm. Arriving at the site of the school explosion, Kehoe died when he detonated explosives concealed in his truck." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster Incidentally, this event is STILL the worst school massacre in American history. Bombs > guns, any day.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 21:22:43 ahh, that time in 1927... yes, must clearly be equally as desirable as shooting people
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 21:25:19 94 years ago and he's still the High Score. I'd say he did something right.
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 21:30:22 tw The point is that American currently suffers from the occasional mass shooting by some bloke with an AR-15 (aka the most popular rifle in the United States in general, hence why it tends to be used in these incidents - because why go with something less popular?). If you ban semi-autos (which is fucking retarded for a whole multitude of reasons), then people who want to commit mass murder will just turn to other instruments. Instruments like, say, bombs, which are far more deadly than guns. Your choice bro. (also, if you try to take AR-15s away from the American public, you will have scores of dead politicians. That's a fucking fact, you freedom-hating idiot tw)
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 21:33:04 i'm going to guess none of these people (outside of muslim terrorists) are looking purely for body count, they want to do the shooting themselves, often w/ specific target location or people (like the classic postal worker, or school shooter... renting a truck or hoping there are nearby propane tanks isn't a thing) & we've already seen it, one of these people was denied an AR-15 purchase so went w/ a shotgun & handgun or something & it's not hard to understand
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 21:36:50 how about they are mandatorily made shaped like giant dildos... take out some of the macho factor
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 21:37:26 Okay, I gotta admit it's great to see psychologist tw make a return. I missed the days when he'd act like he had some sort of unique insight into Trump's mind. And now here he is, getting inside the head of mass murderers! You truly are the Max Maven of this board my friend. God bless you.
Rugian Member	Tue Mar 23 21:40:14 And if you think I'm being mean here, it's because I'm talking to someone who clearly knows NOTHING about guns, yet who feels qualified to talk about them. Fuck off already. Go back to reading MSM articles about how AR-15s have chainsaw bayonets and shit, and leave the people who actually have some experience with these weapons talk among themselves.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 21:48:33 i acknowledge i know nothing about guns (beyond various video game usage) however it's pretty fucking self-evident blowing up propane tanks & trying to run people over is NOT as preferable given that people are NOT choosing it same w/ bombs or poisoning water supplies or whatever else you want to come up with and an AR-15 is way more costly than a lot of these things ...and note i didn't even advocate banning them here (although for the record, i don't believe it would violate the 2nd amendment, nor do i think they are a positive impact on society)
kargen Member	Tue Mar 23 22:08:57 "if it’s just as preferable why not just as common?" Who the fuck said anything about preferable. I clearly stated if they couldn't get a gun and they wanted to cause harm they would find a way to do so. The increase in mass death by arson after the Port Arthur massacre in Australia tells you this. "yes, must clearly be equally as desirable as shooting people" You are conflating desirable with convenient. Guns are preferred because for many they are the best tool available. If the guns were not available they would find another way. "& we've already seen it, one of these people was denied an AR-15 purchase so went w/ a shotgun & handgun or something" You see that "or something"? Yeah you are saying the same thing I am saying. You are trying to hide behind well they will just get another gun and ignoring what might happen if they can't get a gun at all. You keep saying preferable as if that means something in this discussion. If your really hungry and go into a sub shop to get a sandwich do you leave because they don't have your favorite bread or do you get some different bread. And no the question doesn't allow for just going somewhere that does have your favorite bread. Your favorite bread isn't available. So you gonna starve?
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Mar 23 22:45:17 the "or something" was because i don't recall what guns he used, but it was definitely guns & there will ALWAYS be guns available, so they will always move to other guns... not propane tanks... in the odd case they can't manage any guns at all, that's when you get knives or some other hand weapon... not bomb makers... if they want to make bombs they will start w/ bombs
Dukhat Member	Wed Mar 24 00:58:02 Times like this just confirm that Rugian's dad is probably in hell and Ruggy will join him soon hopefully without collateral damage. White guys always think they are being victimized to justify violence and depravity. In this way, they are exactly like the Arab terrorists they claim to hate so much.
kargen Member	Wed Mar 24 01:29:12 "the "or something" was because i don't recall what guns he used, but it was definitely guns & there will ALWAYS be guns available, so they will always move to other guns... not propane tanks..." are you really this daft? I am telling you getting rid of guns isn't the answer because if they can't get guns they will use something else and your counter is that they will use guns. Might be a knife, brick, baseball bat, pipe bomb, rental van, whatever. Ya wanna solve the problem of mass murder then look towards better health care. Politicians don't want to do that because the solution isn't an easy one and doesn't stir the public. They blame guns because it is easy.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Mar 24 02:08:18 except there is ZERO chance of getting rid of all guns, and that's NOT the democrat position no matter how many times NRA says so (or the black guy on Hannity tonight...) & i'm not advocating 'assault rifle' bans over this issue, but if you DID ban them, people WOULD just move to other guns & probably NOT rack up as many kills (& probably get some injured instead, unlike this guy) there is no reason to think if they can't buy an 'assault rifle' they'd jump to bombs or vans or whatever else instead of just a different gun they can get, and we already have an example of someone doing it (yet common sense also) & there already ARE banned guns, & people don't switch to bombs just because they can't get them --------------- "Ya wanna solve the problem of mass murder then look towards better health care" yeah, Dems never are pushing for health care, right? if only Trump had revealed his better cheaper plan...
Dukhat Member	Wed Mar 24 02:47:42 Just constant fucking gaslighting. What fucking assholes these people must be in the real world when they are already this bad online.

Ruger has had the AR-556 rifle since 2009, but in 2019 they made a slightly shorter version which can be classed a "pistol". It's fun how companies will make weapons which comply with poorly designed firearms laws, and the compliant weapons will actually be better for close quarters than the rifle version. The U.S. military largely moved from the M16 to the M4, and the civilian sector is getting its own shorter variants ;) Hopefully this shooting will result in better weapons laws. Like, laws against restricting gun ownership — doubling down on the Second Amendment and opening laws back up to allow citizens their right to carry at *least* squad-level equipment. If the Starbucks barista at the entrance had been carrying an M870 shotgun, then this shooter may have decided to stay home with peanut butter in his hair and bananas duct taped to his feet like a normal crazy person.
kargen Member	Wed Mar 24 18:08:52 "yeah, Dems never are pushing for health care, right? " Should have been better mental health care and no the Democrats have not been pushing for better mental health care. In Colorado and other states they have done the opposite.

TJ Member	Wed Mar 24 19:30:07 Top 10 manufacturers of the AR-15 pistol in different calibers and grain in link. Also you can make one yourself with a small about of knowledge and effort. In normal times the individual parts are readily available from suppliers. http://www.americanfirearms.org/best-ar-15-pistols/
kargen Member	Wed Mar 24 23:14:23 Owning guns won't matter at all before to awful long. People that are not already stocked up on ammo aren't going to be able to get ammo.
Paramount Member	Thu Mar 25 01:15:14 Yeah, you can have your guns, but the 2nd amendment says nothing about your right to ammo.
kargen Member	Thu Mar 25 01:20:34 Also a shortage of primers so people that load their own ammo are being impacted.
Cherub Cow Member	Thu Mar 25 05:02:41 3-D printers will help with ghost guns, so maybe people will return to flintlock muskets using black powder to make up for the ammo issues ;)
Paramount Member	Thu Mar 25 06:31:10 Maybe Rugian can load his AR-5 with peas?
habebe Member	Thu Mar 25 09:13:37 Guns to someone who wants to do this sort of crime are preferable. They are much easier to use, more mobile and allows for change of direction/improvisation. That's just common sense. It's a perfect tool for person to person combat, the gun doesnt care whether its legitimate combat or terrorism as its just a tool. gun deaths in the US are down from the past 60s 70s, and there was way fewer guns. I admit that access to weapons will play a role in crimes that occur this way. Some people will find other outlets which to cause harm. Some may find it too difficult for a number of reasons. But at this point, the guns are out there. Banning them now will still make it almost as easy to get illegally. But it most assuredly will make it more difficult for legitimate operators which are the vast majority. It will likely not end with an AR ban and would tryntonseep into further gun control, perhaps large caliber pistols, shotguns, who knows. Paramount, That's a dispute that I would be cool with the SC ruling on.Especially this SC.
