Stupid man turns in his rifle to police

[CS1983]

Is it just the fact that the tipped rounds come apart that made Hood such a showcase for the round?

Yes, but liberty ammo would have similar results in 9mm due to lighter round & higher velocity

But they're nowhere near rifle round energy

7-Year-Olds Are Selling AR-15 Raffle Tickets for Their Baseball Team

Elementary school students are still selling raffle tickets for a AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, just days after the same weapon was used to kill 17 people at a Florida high school. The boys, ages 7 to 9, were raising money for their baseball team in Missouri, according to a new St. Louis Post-Dispatch report.

Team coach Levi Patterson told the outlet the raffle was designed before Wednesday’s mass shooting. A father of one of the kids co-founded a firearm company, and provided the weapon for the team’s use. Patterson said he wasn’t trying to make a political statement by offering the AR-15. He was just offering what had been provided..

At first, he thought about getting a new item for the raffle, but choose to “turn it into a positive thing” after receiving “hate” online.

“One of the people from the hate group turned in [a Facebook post about the raffle] for I don’t know what,” Patterson said. This post depicted a weapon next to a school logo, and Facebook took it down after criticism, Patterson said. He clarified after initial publication of that article that he didn’t mean to say the critics were part of a “hate group.” They were just people were different opinions.

“I applaud them for standing up for what they believe in,” he said. “I just think they have feelings to this specific type of gun different than people around here do.” In a reported Facebook message on Wednesday, Patterson insisted that they would not force any of the boys to sell raffle tickets if the kids “are uncomfortable doing so.” He said all his players are selling.

Nikolas Cruz, 19, was arrested for the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. He killed 17 people using an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, according to the arrest report from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

This article is from a few years ago but it's happening again this year, as usual, at the Potlatch Elementary School. Guns and a sausage feed! 'Murica!

Gun show at school a Potlatch tradition
School district and city officials say Idaho community supports yearly event in conjunction with sausage feed

By MARY STONE of the Tribune Mar 15, 2014

College presidents and police chiefs voiced opposition in recent weeks to allowing guns on college campuses, but Potlatch residents have long welcomed firearms at their elementary school one day each year.

The annual Potlatch Gun Show will take place Sunday in the Potlatch Elementary School gymnasium, coinciding with the Knights of Columbus all-you-can-eat sausage breakfast down the hall in the school cafeteria.

Unless he thought that he was going to go batshit crazy and shoot at people, turning in his oddball AR is meaningless. Maybe he couldn’t sell it and wants a tax deduction.

Aren't you glad he's a cop?

The thread title is misleading. The fud that turned in his rifle isn't a cop. He turned it in because he isn't a cop and thinks only cops should own these types of things.

I'd bet a dollar he still has some rifles or shotguns. You know, for hunting and such.

What a fud.
