the shooting was in a soft target. everyone legally entering was searched for weapons. this guy knew that and cut a hole through the rear of the fence to prey on those defenseless targets.

let me pass the test and conceal carry and that guy does not get very far.
I believe the police took care of him pretty fast, tough guy.

Not gonna let ‘em catch the Midnight Rider
Lock that shotgun up, it’s more likely your kid will shoot himself with your gun than it is that you’ll need that gun to shoot someone coming in to rape you and your family.

Wtf
The gun is locked up buddy and I have the only key. Thank you for your gun safety tip, though.

are there any current economic conditions that you praise trump for? serious question?
Tentatively, I like where the stock market is because of relaxed regulations. Long term I think the tax cuts and resulting deficits are problematic at least.

I'm a firm believer in the 2nd amendment as written. We should all be allowed a bunch of lead balls, gun powder and a musket.

The American M1795 and French M1777 muskets were .69-cal.; the British Brown Bess was .75-cal.--17.5mm and 19mm wide, respectively. By comparison, the average assault rifle today fires a bullet with a diameter of 5.45mm (Soviet) or 5.56mm (NATO). This means that the wound surface area of a musket ball is truly massive. A modern rifle round will rely on its high speed and its tendency to start tumbling end over end inside your body in order to cause damage to blood vessels and vital organs; it might clip or bounce off of bones. A musket ball is more like a shotgun slug, and will bulldoze its way through with sheer weight. For comparison's sake, an M-4/M-16 fires a pointy bullet weighing 55 or 62 grains (0.13-0.14 oz) at supersonic speed, whereas a musket fires a round ball weighing something like 400-500 grains (0.9-1.1 oz) at high subsonic speed.
