Perlmutter wants to re-instate tthe AWB

[SA Friday]

BBC is reporting the bit about his AR jamming as a good thing, because it made him switch to weapons with less firepower, probably saving lives. It makes me sick how "reputable" journalist organizations haphazardly spew ignorance as if it were fact. Morons.

The Beta-C mag jamming probably did save lives. I fail to see how this is haphazardly spewing ignorance.

It is ignorant speculation that his other weapons were "lesser firepower" than the AR. As Stenz pointed out, a shotgun would arguably be more effective in such a space.

ETA: this sort of speculation implies that an AR platform is somehow more deadly than a shotgun or a handgun. This line of thinking leads to banning of specific weapon types.

So instead of reinstating the AWB, the govt should start subsidizing Beta-C.

after the report, my wife said why did he have 6000 rounds. so I took her up to the bedroom closet and showed her what 6000 rounds looked like (just in 5.56 and 7.62) . It sounds like a lot....but in actuality I bet most of us have more than that at home

I need to work on this more. I'm too broke, too young, or too stupid to not be stockpiling faster.

Everytime I'm in walmart I try to buy a box or two to stash.....surprising how fast it adds up

I like how people want to ban hi cap mags too. People at work were talking about how we should regulate the sale of ammo and hi cap mags. I don't know how I work with these people but I guess they like the game of chance, if you give me less that is the lower the chance I have to defend myself.

Didn't he start with the shotgun, then go to the AR, then use the pistol when that jammed? What would be the reaction of Perlmutter if he just fired the shotgun and then had no AR, just using the pistol? Isn't that just as much as a tragedy?
