  1. I remember back when learning how to properly handle a firearm, and the heavy responsibilities that come with doing such, was something a man would take his son out into the woods, and teach him about, along with the rights and wrongs of usage, with the idea of instilling values into his child. Nowadays, you see people left and right reaching for a gun the moment things take a downward turn in their lives, not because having access to a firearm makes it an easy response, but because that's the first thing their minds go to, automatically. They don't think about the ramifications of their actions, the sort of stains such things might leave on their families and the survivors of their temper tantrums. It's not humiliating that there are so many guns in America; there have always been guns in America. It's humiliating that shooting sprees have suddenly become a thing among young (mostly white) people. Despite the presence of firearms in America's history, shooting sprees were never a widespread thing until these last two recent decades. What does that say about people in today's society? Where their minds are at? Is America full of so much stress and depression, nowadays, that we're breeding a generation of (mostly white) sociopaths? And yes, I know what I keep off handily mentioning. I'm not pointing blame at anyone, I just find it strange that most spree shooters, since Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, have primarily been Caucasian. Everyone tries to point out patterns in these incidents, ranging from depression to the presence of guns in America, but they tend to often leave out that that majority of perpetrators of these horrible acts have mostly been white. I'm mixed, so I'm not being bias here, but a lot of people of color own guns, and a lot of people of color have suffered from bullying and depression, so why aren't these spree shooters more varied in race? I'm not making any accusations, I'm just curious if anyone knows why so many of them are primarily white?

  2. "It's the deadliness?" Ummm, it's a gun, it's meant to be deadly. That is the whole point of a gun, rather being used for hunting, self defense, or even for evil acts (it's a tool, people, technically speaking you could use a hammer to murder someone, which would be an evil act (that doesn't make the tool evil in of itself), the whole point is for it to be deadly. I mean, he's shocked by how accurate the rifle is, and by the fact that it can make basic follow up shots. If that's literally all it takes to shock this man, he should stay far away from any Westerns, given you could preform the same thing with a Winchester repeating rifle from the ole' west.

  3. Let me pose this question. How many of us who own AR15s are going around on mass murdering sprees? It's the grade school mentality of when one student screws up and the teacher punishes the whole class. The weapon is an inanimate object. It does not and cannot think and act on its own. A person controls and dictates what the weapon does. Stop blaming the gun, blame the people.

  4. Wait what? You don't need to be a good shot with an ar-15?
    I knew my DS was lying, making me do all those long hours of training, learning how to hold it, how to breath, move, trigger pull. Apparently none of it was needed.
    Damn how many vets feel triggered right now? Hahahahahahaha

  5. I find it incredible that he found out that gun can kill people. So can a rock, or ax, or cow horn, or razor, or chopsticks, or car, or diarrhea. Lots of things this corrupt guy still haven’t found out.

  6. Fist and feet kill ten times more people in the US every year than any gun , let alone the AR 15 which only accounts for less than 2% of all gun related homicides. So politicians should stick to stealing it's what they are good at not deciding if we the people have the right to defend our homes and or families. I bet he has armed security with him at all times though.
