[Operational needs]

He was there to photograph a concert. It turned into a massacre

Democrat says he will boycott moment of silence for Las Vegas shooting

This is who is representing my district ?

What’s the point?

Congress has a moment of silence, the Prez quotes scripture, nothing changes, on to the next one.

So why isn't the media calling it Domestic Terrorism?

Terrorism usually has a defined purpose to which the act is bringing attention.

No motive has been identified yet.

 

[wayfair]

I'll take a knee to all the victims.... some were family...

Do non gun owners shoot people?

Yes. Adam Lanza didn't own the guns he used, he acquired them illegally.

can't be terrorism without a political motive

Bumpfire is a gimmick and not really practical. Good chance they will go away as a convenient scapegoat whether the shooter used them or not.

that sounds logical at first but the fact is if you want to increase your ROF into a crowd of a few thousand people, it's not a gimmick anymore

if they aren't banned, every single nutjob trying to hit the high score now knows about it and will use it themselves next time

From the link in BBSAM's post:

Mr. Lanza used his mother’s guns to kill her and 26 others.

Technically, Adam 'stole' the guns ... he did not own them.

Bumpfire was hardly a secret before. Liberal media who knew little about guns may have been clueless but otherwise well known to the public.

Easy access. Like a monkey's butt in the air.

i think you underestimate how uninformed the majority of the country is to the weapons-world

nobody i know, besides my "gun friends" knew a thing about this kinda stuff

most of them are totally shocked it's legal, so infer from that as you will

Your fellow cubicle dwellers only know what they learned in videogames?

[BigUnionGuy]

Bumpfire has been around for a long time.

No need for any special stock.

or movies yeah

think about it though: the vast vast majority of people live in cities, these people only experience guns when they get robbed, play video games, watch a movie, or experience a massacre

maybe if you're lucky they were in the military, except the military tightly controls guns so even if they like them they still accept and are used to restrictions

if they have no idea what it's like to grow up with them in a non-violent setting, or just to go out on some open land or a range and fire some shots, can you really blame them for reacting like this?

I understand ... ignorance is their problem.
