127. Is a weapon capable of firing 30 shots in 10 seconds

Tue Dec 18, 2012, 04:19 PM

Dec 2012

for hunting? What is it for hunting? Humans?

This weapon killed 26 humans in a lot less than 10 minutes. It is known that this apology for a human questioned teachers and had to search for victims. These humans were hit by no fewer than three and as many as 11 rounds so say a mean as 5 per teacher or pupil; that is 130 rounds. It is reported that this murderer entered the school by firing through a glass panel. I suspect there may be shots that missed. So at least 5 of the 30 round magazines his mother stupidly bought were used.

Take your apologist garbage elsewhere.
