MONKMAN Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If the 13 year old sister had been armed with a semi automatic assault rifle, she could have maybe rinsed her 9 year old brother before he got a chance to shoot her. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) 13 minutes ago, NorthernLights said: US Senate candidate proposes arming homeless people with shotguns “Frankly I think the ideal weapon would be a pistol,” he told the Guardian, “but due to the licensing requirements in the state we’re going to have a hard enough time getting homeless people shotguns as it is. Read more “Getting them pistols is probably next to impossible. The pistols need to be registered, people have to have addresses.” Carrying a concealed pistol is illegal without a permit, Ellison said, “whereas open-carrying a long gun is completely legal”. “So we thought that pump-action shotguns were a suitable alternative to a pistol.” or ?

There are actually a lot of shite places to live in America and a lot of fantastic ones here. And a lot of reasons Scotland is a much better place live, so it's not that unbelievable. You're just biased cause you're from a shite part of Scotland and in a good part of America. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Video of Vegas shooter walking in and out of the hotel with suitcases over a few days, then put up "Do Not Disturb" signs on the two rooms he booked.
