I am glad you saved your friends butt.. good job..

If I lived in an area that I had that problem, I would move.

Reagan let over 250 US Marines be blown up in the barracks and then took our armed forces home without any action at all.

He also did nothing for a CIA head who was kidnapped, tortured for 18 months, reveled all the field agent s and every secret he held.. Ronnie did nothing.. It ended the CIA effectiveness for years..

He watch a video the terrorists sent him of h*****g a former US general who was involved in our intelligence in the ME.. did nothing came home..

So do not be duped into using that man as a model for a "strong stand"!!!

He spent the money for the war industry, then did nothing at all when force was needed..

All were in strict gun control areas. Nor were they all with the AR15 despite your posted sign.

Several types of guns have been used in mass shootings in the United States. A 2014 study of 142 shootings by Dr. James Fox found 88 (62%) were committed with handguns of all types; 68 (48%) with semi-automatic handguns, 20 (14%) with revolvers), 35 (25%) with semi-automatic rifles, and 19 (13%) with shotguns. The study was conducted using the Mother Jones database of mass shootings from 1982–2018. High capacity magazines were used in approximately half of mass shootings. Semi-automatic rifles have been used in six of the ten deadliest mass shooting events.

AURORA- Holmes threw two canisters emitting a gas or smoke, partially obscuring the audience members' vision, making their throats and skin itch, and causing eye irritation.[16] He then fired a 12-gauge Remington 870 Express Tactical shotgun, first at the ceiling and then at the audience. He also fired a Smith & Wesson M&P15[17] semi-automatic rifle with a 100-round drum magazine, which eventually malfunctioned.[17][18][19] Finally, he fired a .40-caliber Glock 22 Gen4 handgun.[20][21]

I think this thread is way off subject, but that is norm..

I was once upon a time a very good shot.. so I understand you..

but I do not think this thread has anything to do with what you, me or the man next to us can do with a gun.

It seems to be about what a nut case see as exciting and a road to fame as they see it..

So they find the allure of military style arms to just as exciting as playground king of the hill games..

I will accept the reports as I read them and stand on as a fact that a few more magazine changes would possibly let a few more people survive a mass shooting..

These are neat information Blade.. thanks..

I have read about some of these before..


think my comment should have included "practical" when I said nothing worked until Gatling..

Saving your links, but most that I have seen used a movable mechanism or chambers. These had to be preloaded and then a team had to work the guns.

About 9 rounds a minute was a rate I have seen several times as the best result.

Also cumbersome and inaccurate.. But a number of things worked to keep them unsuccessful into the mid 1800s..

Anyway,, good stuff and I look for ward to reading them later..

Have a good one..
