RiG Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Seventeen kids gunned down in a school shooting - thoughts and prayers. Dog dies in an overhead locker on a flight - "Quick! I need to raise this in the Senate and get a bill through to stop this ever happening again! Dogs are family after all. But not kids though."

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 ?
