(13,337 posts)I worked my whole life, served in the military, went to college, retired as an educator. I live off state retirement, SS and a tiny VA disability, 30 percent. In many peoples eyes my salary looks really weak, but Ive learned to live small. I can still help my daughter with Major home repairs, buy good wine and eat healthy. But I no way could afford to go buy two assault rifles, 7 clips that hold 30 rounds and hundreds of rounds, plus tactical gear. Most 18 years old are scraping to buy gas. Tell me how the hell an 18 year old high school drop out can just walk in and afford all that. How many of yall could fork out around $4,000 at 18 years old for guns while working at Micky Ds. And to show how efficiently deadly that gun is, how much practice did he even need to kill that many people and put the fear of God in trained masses of Guys (not so good in the eyes of parents screaming to do something) with artillery in 40 minutes.
In the military, you train train train, police train, train, train, especially tactical police. Here this kid with lots of spare cash can get all that, and kill as efficiently as a Navy Seal with minimal training.
But as Rep Fines from Florida said today, this is an acceptable price for freedom. He should have been sent in that class room with a bucket of soapy water and a paint scraper to clean up that acceptable mess of blood, bones, brain matter and body parts. He also threatened to kill the President if he even thought of taking his guns. Party of Jesus and Pro Life. Its time to bury the GQP instead of children and Seniors. Figuratively.
