Leave it on the battlefield is just the old conflation of full auto and semi-auto weapons aikoaiko Aug 2019 #11
You gun-lovers who think your supposed right to own gunz trumps everyone else. Hoyt Aug 2019 #14
I didn't say that Hoyt. Did you confuse my post with someone else's? aikoaiko Aug 2019 #16
You gunners are here to obfuscate, like always. Hoyt Aug 2019 #18
Sure didn't confuse me, aikoaiko. Now I know exactly who you are and won't forget. Hekate Aug 2019 #69

Are they the same weapons used on the battlefield? aikoaiko Aug 2019 #6
Not just...at this point we have no clue what was used.... AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #8

Is that from today? Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #24
Sadly, yes. I got it from another thread here, but here is the article. Hoyt Aug 2019 #31
If this is a true picture of the A'hole(no reason to doubt it) AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #26
It is damn sure close enough, Aikoaiko. Semi-autos can fire 40 - 60 bullets a minute. I get you Hoyt Aug 2019 #9
Actually, yes... Indygram Aug 2019 #10
The bumo stock attach is illegal now and without "the switch" they function differently. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #13
But, we sell them to gun-lovers and they use them in malls, schools, etc. Hoyt Aug 2019 #19
Yet Republicans refused to make it illegal to make them Indygram Aug 2019 #55
Law enforcement had reported an Ak47 was used BannonsLiver Aug 2019 #12
We'll have to wait and see if it was a real AK-47 or a semi-auto knock-off. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #17
The knock-offs can kill 40 or more people a minute. The knockoffs can hold a bunch of ammo, can be Hoyt Aug 2019 #20
Hoyt, there has never been a case of someone shooting 40 people in one minute. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #22
The damn things can fire 40 to 60 bullets a minute, and you know it. Stop the gun BS. Hoyt Aug 2019 #27
The battlefield AK can do 600 rds/min AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #35
Are we complaining now about the gunz available to you guys? Damn, they only fire 40 - 60 rds/min., Hoyt Aug 2019 #39

Yeah, you've been apologizing for gunz and murders for a long time. Hoyt Aug 2019 #46

Read the thread in context, Geezer. And, how about calling your Congresspeople and telling Hoyt Aug 2019 #50

Yeah sure BannonsLiver Aug 2019 #21
That's fine. I'm not the one who made a claim of them being on the battlefield. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #23
No, you are just reading by pointing at, and mouthing, each word. We know what O'Rourke meant, and Hoyt Aug 2019 #29
Yeah...but he's incorrect.... AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #44
No, he's not Indygram Aug 2019 #74

I'm sorry for your loss. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #58
I am not anti-gun...I grew up hunting from age 12 Indygram Aug 2019 #60
How clarifying. "We'll have to wait and see" Hekate Aug 2019 #72
Remember this is in the context of Beto's "battlefield rifles" rhetoric aikoaiko Aug 2019 #73
The AR-15 was marketed as a military weapon Indygram Aug 2019 #75
Well almost every major design in firearms is marketed as a military design. aikoaiko Aug 2019 #76
Ban all semi-automatic weapons Indygram Aug 2019 #77
A ban on semi-auto weapons makes more sense than a ban on "assault weapons" aikoaiko Aug 2019 #78
They said AK47 "style"....it looks like an SKS...not used in battle AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #37
Ahhh that's really important BannonsLiver Aug 2019 #38
Yeah it is if credibility means anything...be accurate or don't say it. AncientGeezer Aug 2019 #47

This is how O'Rourke needs to speak at debates. Princetonian Aug 2019 #36
I don't think it's in him to do so. Amimnoch Aug 2019 #53
I understand what you are saying. It speaks incredbily well of O'Rourke that he is so authentic. Princetonian Aug 2019 #62
I've never seen one better than Beto at bringing people in and motivating them to get involved Indygram Aug 2019 #64
I followed O'Rourke v. Cruz race closely so I look forward to watching "Running With Beto". Princetonian Aug 2019 #65
It's really incredible...I've watched it a few times Indygram Aug 2019 #68
This is how he speaks about kids in cages too Indygram Aug 2019 #57
