Never trust a man that wears makeup! I watched a few different ones today and heard the usual "assault weapon", "machine gun" etc etc... Mudder humper listened to too many fitty cent songs, damn man all guns arent "Glock 40's" and "machine guns". And AR-15's arent what I carried in the Army either mudder trucker!!! Douche bags cant even get the numbers right, if you dont fricken know, dont say it.

Just overhead on KUSA, "...many of these weapons are easily converted to fully-automatic." really? On whose authority did they get this bit of misinformation?

On another note, overheard on a flight home this morning (been up since 0300 EST so I'm tired and cranky anyway), "There's no reason anyone should ever be allowed to own an assault weapon or handgun." We all know there are so many issues with that statement - our rights, bad guys, simple logic, etc.

This same libtard decided it was OK to endanger a whole airplane full of people by taking video/pictures out the window on approach with his Chinese iPad knockoff tablet. Yes, I know the Mythbusters proved no harm, no foul on phones, but HE was breaking the laws put in place by the FAA to protect the flying public and rules by the airline because they can't possibly test all this odd crap.

They just don't see the hypocrisy of their words and actions. Had this event not just unfolded, he would have gotten an earful on both accounts.

"Definitions

A genuine assault weapon, as opposed to a legal definition, is a hand-held, selective fire weapon, which means it's capable of firing in either an automatic or a semiautomatic mode depending on the position of a selector switch. These kinds of weapons are heavily regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and are further regulated in some states. (See machine guns.)

However, current "assault weapon" legislation defines certain semi-automatic weapons as "assault weapons." A semi-automatic weapon is one that fires a round with each pull of the trigger, versus an automatic weapon which continues to shoot until the trigger is released or the ammunition supply is exhausted. These kinds of "assault weapons" are sometimes referred to as military-style semi-automatic weapons.


An example of assault weapon legislation is the Federal 1994 Crime Bill. The bill in part outlaws new civilian manufacture of certain semi-automatic assault weapons. It also prohibits new civilian manufacture of "large capacity ammunition feeding devices" declared certain weapons as assault weapons, and states a semi-automatic rifle is an assault weapon if it can accept a detachable magazine and has two or more of the following:

• A folding or telescoping stock
• A pistol grip
• A bayonet mount
• A flash suppressor, or threads to attach one
• A grenade launcher.
• Or whatever the hell they can come up with

You forgot "holds one or more rounds of small arms ammunition"...

No offense, but your being as whiney as the libtard. I flew 3-5 times a week for 3 years and routinely left my phone on in my pocket on my flights and NEVER experienced anything other than a smooth flight.
There is no flipping way that a cell phone is going to mess up anything with the plane other that the intercom scratchyness when the captain comes over to tell you they are about to start the approach.

Hey, I've had my phone ring at 5k on approach because I forgot to turn it off during a flight. My point wasn't the perceived, inherent, likely non-existent danger - note that the FAA has approved use only while IN-FLIGHT - my point was the hypocrisy of the situation.

Sadly, you chose to take the ad-hominem approach instead of keeping it about the intent of my post.

Hypocrisy abound. I understand and for me at that momnet, RIF and I failed.

Back to the topic. I have not watched much coverage but did catch the police brief. Was it just me or did Mr "clip" seem to want to reinforce that much of the stuff ammo, mags were bought on the INTERNET ?

Not sure where he was trying to go with it but he seemed to act like buying things on the net was bad. Not sure what or why because ammo sales are regulated just like buying at wally world if not more so.

Just a thought.
