Redneck shoots up Pensacola with AK-47

[JimC]

This thread has probably already descended into the usual gun derail, so I may as well add to it...

C'mon Hornmygandererer, you're smarter than this.

Smarter than what now?

The spastic line of reasoning that a gun doesn't somehow make it easier to kill and terrorise people.

Not so much a sporting bolt-action rifle owned by a hunter or a farmer, but the widespread ownership of semi-automatic assault rifles certainly makes murderous killing sprees that much easier...

True, Charles Joseph Whitman didn't have any automatic weapons at all, which lowered his bag seriously.

Yeah, an ex-Marine sniping from the observation deck atop the 27th floor of a building with three rifles is just your typical massacre scenario. The M1 among his arsenal was semi automatic. Semi automatics are outlawed in Australia since 1996.

Nice distortion of what I said, ain't it? Note I didn't say "semi-automatic".

But JimC did, which you ignored. I just evened it out, but never mind that. The circumstances were not typical of massacres. The sniping scenario was an important difference, and in those circumstances Whitman was even better off with a scoped hunting rifle than an automatic assault weapon.

I didn't ignore it, I didn't address it.

I didn't inhale.

And I didn't have sexual relations with that girl.

[laklak]

Or the goat. And don't trust a thing the sheep say, they're a pack of liars.

I had a hankering for etouffee after this thread, so I went to the seafood market and guess what? The fuckers were OUT OF MUDBUGS.

Fortunately for them they had rock shrimp, which are an acceptable substitute, otherwise they'd all by pushing up daisies by now.

I think you are a jumbo liar.

[laklak]

Moi? Perish the thought. My mammy done tol me that honesty is always the best policy, and I listens to my mammy.

Well, to be honest rock shrimp are only marginally acceptable as a mudbug substitute, they have much smaller heads so the stock isn't as rich. Luckily I had a bag of shrimp and fish heads in the freezer.

I always inhale and hold it in a good long time to wring the smoke of all it's goodness.

And I never have sexual relations with girls.

It would take a lot more nerve.
Any sad wanker can get drunk and pull a trigger. You can do it at a distance, at high speed, as this hero did.
If you try to do the same with a gasoline can, you might end up on fire yourself, or getting the shit beaten out of you.
Lots of people turn into heroes, when they have a machine gun, and the other people have nothing.

I agree completely. We should ban all guns, so that way nobody will be able to get a gun ever. And, if nobody ever has a gun, then bad things will stop happening.

I really want to stab you before bashing you head in with a lead pipe.

If it looks like you'll survive, I'll make sure you get a full body massage with poison ivy before you get to the doctor.

We no longer use lead pipes.

but copper is too light and steel bit too deadly and doesn't heft as nicely.
