Jesus_lol Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 [quote name='Apotheoun' date='07 April 2010 - 06:59 PM' timestamp='1270691948' post='2088871'] In America people have a constitutional right to carry weapons. Were there any arrests? No, because nothing illegal was done. [/quote] you mistake my point. im not saying anything was illegal. just stupid, and in bad taste. neither of those things have been outlawed. reasonable people tend to avoid them regardless. [quote name='KnightofChrist' date='07 April 2010 - 07:00 PM' timestamp='1270692043' post='2088872'] Since you're a mind reader could you read the mind of my teacher? I forgot what page my homework was on, thanks! [/quote] Your highschool teacher is wondering why you keep calling her about homework, especially since you graduated like 10 years ago. [quote name='KnightofChrist' date='07 April 2010 - 07:02 PM' timestamp='1270692163' post='2088876'] And if I remember correctly the person carrying the firearm was Black, Democrat and the gun was unloaded. [/quote] i believe that guy was the one with the AR15. there were a couple other people there with firearms. not sure what his race has to do with anything? i was also referring to those who brought firearms to the healthcare town hall meetings, specifically when i referred to intimidation.

Namely MSNBC, later when it was shown that he was Black this news bit was unimportant afterward. As for the rest welcome to America, we have rights here and we're not pansies.

As far as I am concerned the people carrying guns acted perfectly reasonably, and within their rights under the law.

Let's all pretend that citizens have never carried weapons to presidential speeches until the Tea Party showed up.

It is the civilian form of the M-16. It is DEFINITELY NOT a full auto rifle, and DEFINITELY IS an assault rifle. Also I find it hard to believe that ordinary citizens would bring a gun to a presidential rally. It goes against basic common sense. Same reason you don't take guns into bars, and sporting events.

Three-round burst isn't an option, either. To be an assault rifle, the rifle must be capable of full-auto and must not fire a full-size rifle round.

Socrates Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 If I were going to assassinate a politician, I wouldn't march in with a bulky assault rifle, but would want something inauspicious and concealable. Or preferably, be hiding away perched somewhere with a sniper rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
