I thought everything might 're-victimize', not just ISIS part.

You don't keep a tank in the garage, you keep it on the lawn to scare those darned neighbourhood kids away.

Nah, then it becomes one of those "attractive nuisances" what with all the kids wanting to climb on it and stuff.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

I must say, it is an interesting question considering the circumstances of the time meant the average American owned the same rifle as the average soldier carried.

Clearly, every American needs an AR-15.

 

[DenisIrwin]

Clearly, every American needs an AR-15.

Surely it would be daft if the law enforcement officers were outgunned most of the time?

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Surely it would be daft if the law enforcement officers were outgunned most of the time?

You mean they aren't already?

 

[JustAFan]

Given much of the recent publicity regarding our police officers it might be a good thing for the public to outgun them.

 

[Grinner]

You mean they aren't already?

No they aren't. Have you seen what they carry in squad cars let alone the stuff they can call in like APCs and squads of paramilitaries?

 

[Carolina Red]

I think you should know well enough that I was not insinuating that.

 

[DenisIrwin]

When it comes to words and guns, you have to be careful what you're putting in peoples' mouths.

 

[Carolina Red]

Indeed. Depending on how loaded they are.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

I think you should know well enough that I was not insinuating that.

You should know that I was being facetious. Or was it serious? I don't know anymore.

 

[Carolina Red]

You should know that I was being facetious. Or was it serious? I don't know anymore.

The one downfall of the written word is it occasionally makes it frustratingly hard to pick up on sly humor.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

indeed!

No they aren't. Have you seen what they carry in squad cars let alone the stuff they can call in like APCs and squads of paramilitaries?

Quiet you. Let me play dumb now and again.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

The one downfall of the typed word is it occasionally makes it frustratingly hard to pick up on sly humor.

I really should have something about that in my tagline.

The hell with the AR-15, that's the new gun I'm buying:

Some Italian company makes a nice replica and I want the .22 cal

That's a nice one, barros. I've got a .30-30 lever gun, myself. Such an intricate mechanism.

I killed my first deer with a lever action .30-30. Fine rifle.

They really are. I don't like killing but I'm tempted to take it out hunting. The dogs would appreciate a whack of venison, I'm sure.

I would absolutely love having a go at hunting in the Great White North, although I may have to upgrade from my current 30-06 to something with a bit more oomph.

We've got good hunting around where I'm from, but it's nothing like what you folks have up there.

Angels Quietly Block Westboro Protesters at Orlando Funeral

As thousands gathered in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday to mourn the death of Christopher Andrew Leinonen, who was killed last weekend during the worst mass shooting in modern history, a handful of protesters from Westboro Baptist Church were among them.

But their incendiary, anti-gay signs were met by counter-protesters who've made a tradition of blocking them out with a powerful symbol: angel wings.

 

[Rado_N]

Excellent, those Westboro assholes are the unfortunate downside to the 1st amendment.

 

[Carolina Red]

Excellent, those Westboro assholes are the unfortunate downside to the 1st amendment.

Yes. Unfortunately there are those who use that right to make absolute fools of themselves.

 

[Nucks]

Nice to see you making judgements about random strangers on an internet forum as well. You would fit in well with those radical idiots.

It was a joke, get over yourself.

Also, looks like I was right?

Call me Nuckstradamus from now on please.

I hardly think that "do not enter" sign was necessary.

 

[MrMarcello]

The resident FB right-wingers are outraged the released FBI transcripts omitted the ISIS pledge by Mateen.

They can't see outside their little bubble that this nut was simply looking for infamy. He searched for the shooting on social media during the act. Calling 9/11 and pledging allegiance was simply his way of notoriety.

 

[Carolina Red]

Report came out yesterday that Noor Mateen (shooter's wife) was apparently a special education student in school.

[RedDevil@84]

Suggestions that the shooter was Gay.
If that is indeed true, like to see how IS backtrack.

IS hardly has a problem with hypocrisy. It is not like anyone would interview them and ask "Know what would you say"

Their followers are anyways so far away from reality that nothing of this sort would open their eyes.

 

[barros]

That's a nice one, barros. I've got a .30-30 lever gun, myself. Such an intricate mechanism.

I'm buying a .22 because I can buy a shit load of ammo and take to the shooting range and shoot the entire morning but I love the mechanism of this gun.

His gay Lover Has Come out and said it was revenge because he may have caught aids.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/fbi-no-evidence-omar-mateen-184532729.html

The FBI has found no evidence that the gunman who left 49 people dead in an Orlando nightclub had gay lovers or used gay dating apps, according to the Los Angeles Times.

 

[Carolina Red]

Interesting contrast to the telegraph link in the post right above yours.

Why do you think there's a discrepancy with the 2 articles? It's so hard to know what to believe nowadays

Well...

The Telegraph article is about his gay lover saying he shot up the club because he got HIV.

The Yahoo article says the FBI has found no evidence he had a gay lover.

The whole story surrounding what the FBI has and hasn't found is getting ridiculous... So now him having a gay lover with HIV is back on?

Edit: Dang it, that's what I get for reading the link way past bedtime

 

[Penna]

That's a disturbing quote from the wicked Westboro woman in that ABC article. Interestingly, she says she's gay, too.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

That doesn't seem like a proper ABC site. More like a parody/satire/bullshit one? Check the headlines on the right...

Secret Service Agent Says Obama Is Gay & Muslim In New Tell-All Book
Drug Kingpin Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman Escapes Mexican Prison Once Again
Ted Cruz: “I Will Endorse Donald Trump For President If He Makes Masturbation Illegal”
Omar Mateen’s Final Text To Wife Released: “I’m Gay, That’s Why I’m Doing This.”

[Eboue]

Yeah it's not.

 

[RexHamilton]

"Secret Service Agent says Obama is Gay an Muslim in New Tell-All Book " - One of the links

I'm fairly sure thats not the real ABC news website.
