People don't get it. The media don't get it and they don't want to get it. Billions of dollars are riding on the drugs Dr. Lynne Fenton may have prescribed to her patient, James Holmes, the accused Batman shooter. And when billions of dollars in potentially lost revenue are hanging in the balance, the interested parties take action. They're serious about their money. They don't screw around. ... So right now, in Aurora, there are pharmaceutical people on the scene. Not just low-level goofballs, but competent investigators. They want to know what drugs James Holmes was prescribed. They need to know. And behind the scenes, people with clout are making phone calls. These pharma types are talking to government agents and it's crazy time and damage-control time, and nobody is laughing. This is a high-stakes game. WHAT DRUGS WAS HOLMES TAKING?
This is not the first time it is obvious mental warping medications have been questioned in connection to high-profile narcissistic, attention seeking, Hollywood/Video Game style shootings.
School Shootings Linked to SSRI Antidepressants, MSM does not report
The massacre at Columbine High School took place on April 20, 1999. Astonishingly, for eight days after the tragedy, during thousands of hours of prime-time television coverage, virtually no one mentioned the word “drugs.”
Then the issue was opened. Eric Harris, one of the shooters at Columbine, was on at least one drug.
The NY Times of April 29, 1999, and other papers reported that Harris was rejected from enlisting in the Marines for medical reasons. A friend of the family told the Times that Harris was being treated by a psychiatrist.
And then several sources told the Washington Post that the drug prescribed as treatment was Luvox, manufactured by Solvay.
In two more days, the “drug-issue” was gone.
Sir Ken Robinson compares the current wave of ADHD diagnoses to the "plague" of tonsil removals during the mid-20th Century. He argues that while ADHD may be a real condition, it is currently being over-diagnosed to treat children underperforming among rigid, one-size-fits-all educational systems.
The real problem is that intelligent parents have come to the sad realization that college (most particularly with the liberal arts) degrees are not worth the paper any are printed on...
Of course in the real world talent and intelligence is the deciding factor, counter to all of the indoctrination and political correctness funneled into the typical college puke. Most under and unemployed college nitwits without talent will of course continue to defend the pathetic higher indoctrination system. This pathetic “education” system produces compliant obedient workers and this country needs talent, skills and thinkers not what the corporate masters want obedient stupid consumers and robots.
As far as ADHD from the CDC website and interesting trend, not attached to wealth but insurance coverage - a little research does wonders.
The prevalence of reported ADHD diagnosis was significantly higher among non-Hispanic, primarily English-speaking, and insured children. Moreover, prevalence rates were significantly higher for children in families in which the most highly educated adult was a high school graduate (or had completed 12 years of education), compared with children in families in which the most highly educated adult had a higher or lower level of education. ADHD diagnosis among males was reported significantly more often in families with incomes below the poverty threshold than in families with incomes at or above the poverty threshold. Rates of reported diagnosis among females were not significantly different across the three levels of poverty. Prevalence varied substantially by state, from a low of 5.0% in Colorado to a high of 11.1% in Alabama (Figure 2).

This is based on a very old post risen from the dead and used without permission elsewhere.
After all the false crap from the established media whores and other shills I get angry with statements like this...
How can you believe our United States elected government could be so evil...
You have to be insane, dangerous, and anti-American to think that our Government would be involved in or allow "false flag” or unconstitutional and amoral operations. You only want to rock this nation's foundation, tear us apart and plant the seeds of dissatisfaction in all of us.
If you question the official story you must be _______ (fill in the blank, racist, radical, anti-semitic, violence prone truther, crazy survivalist, godless atheist).
How about this for a reminder you indoctrinated, infantile, statist, jackasses... your memory far too short.
I present a little history for you government worshiping neocon/neoliberal/progressive/Kipling-patriot bootlicking idiots.
Here is a list of “conspiracies” that are documented FACT.
The surprise explosion of the battleship Maine, explosion was from the inside - result, The Hearst controlled press accused the Spanish, claiming a remote-controlled mine under the battleship. The USA declared war on Spain. The US conquered Philippines, Guam and Cuba and we are stuck with two of the three as economic drains to this day!
Sinking of the Lusitania, the major explosions were inside the Lusitania as it was secretly transporting 6 million pounds of artillery shells and rifle ammunition as well as other explosives on behalf of Morgan banking corporation- result, more propaganda, this time for World War I.
The US naval intelligence, chief of Japanese intelligence suggested "8 insults", that should bring Japan into war with the US. Roosevelt executed this plan immediately and added other insults including a blockade of Japanese oil imports. FDR also declared an all-out embargo against the Japanese Empire and forbid the Japanese use of Panama canal. - result, Pearl Harbor was left open (deliberately) for Japanese attack, a back door to war with Germany.
Overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran.
Overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala.
Overthrow of Juan Bosch in the Dominican Republic.
Tuskegee syphilis experiment, U.S. Public Health Service. Investigators recruited black citizens with syphilis to secretly watch the progression of the untreated disease. - result, death, suffering and children born with congenital syphilis.
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, USS Maddox (DD-731) destroyer fired on North Vietnamese Navy P-4 torpedo boats when the boats approached within ten thousand yards. The Maddox fired three rounds to warn off the communist boats. This initial action was never reported by the Johnson administration, which insisted that the Vietnamese boats fired first. A second alleged attack was fabricated. - Result, President Johnson rolled into the Vietnam "war" kicking the military industrial machine into full gear.
USS Liberty - just look this one up yourself...
Operation Northwoods - just look this one up yourself...
COINTELPRO - just look this one up yourself...
Project MK-ULTRA, covert, illegal CIA human research program for the use of LSD, LSA, barbiturates, amphetamines, heroin, morphine, temazepam, mescaline, psilocybin, scopolamine, marijuana, alcohol, sodium pentothal, and ergine on United States and Canadian citizens.
Invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein asked for permission from the US (via their ambassador April Gillespie) and got an answer that the US does not care Arab quarrels. - result, a coalition of 40 nations to "liberate Kuwait" and eliminate the Iraqi military. (Remember the media hoax, when the daughter of Kuwaiti US ambassador played "nurse" on TV and "witnessed" Iraqi soldiers throwing babies out of incubators in Kuwait.)
Weapons of mass destruction, Iraq was branded a clear and present danger to the United States with ties to 911. - result, Enduring Justice/Operation Iraqi Freedom, we know for sure this story was a hoax resulting in billions of fraud by Halliburton and others.
Are you now so stupid and disingenuous to say that having thoughts of government evil is "crazy" and dangerous?
I think you statist lickspittles need to get a grip on reality.
I have to admit I love propaganda, so simple and so destructive.
There is something about how simple and formulaic propaganda is and from time to time I just find some treasure that will make me smile. The below are some examples and truthfully you may want to vomit, but hang on, they are priceless in their complete ninny-like ignorance. I found this by way of a parody sight and re-post and I thought it was an example of Poe's Law. Poe's Law is an internet (and larger social) observation originally formulated by Nathan Poe that explains the difficulty in discerning parody from many forms of "fundamentalism".
Poe's Law: The phenomenon where well structured parody becomes indistinguishable from the original targeted by the parody.
Meet jackie Kuhls, the Executive Director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. The ignorance of this woman is blinding.
Not only are her "facts" all wrong, but she has no real understanding of the firearms or terms she is using. The term is Assault Rifle and it has a specific meaning were designated (and was abject propaganda) in WWII -NOT- WWI. None of the firearms pictured on her card can be considered an Assault Rifle. The possible exception would be the automatic AK47, but I doubt that she would be bothering with reviewing a "civilian" legal (registered) AK47. Interesting but strange fact is that registering an automatic weapon is a process that is more controlled than joining a metro police department! Her 1 in 5 figure is also a proven fraud. The ever quick to offend "Fat White Man" did a good "tear a new one" in his - Jackie Kuhls: Moron Or Liar?
NO this is not an example of Poe's law but a serious and sadly completely ignorant and possibly delusional nanny-statist elitist.
Note that she is a complete coward and has disabled ratings and comments - typical.
Bla, Bla, same old tired fraudulent statistics - hey, she is a woman, do you think that she would be safer in the gun freedom westerns states or some back ally in New York? Note how she wants to "add it all up" and not specific to violence but use accidents - how many are killed in automobiles each year in accidents? No this needs to be focused on violence. The "family and friends" statistics have been proven fraudulent long ago.
Now she is just outright lying, and yes I know "hunters" who are anti-gun elitists (remember Zumbo the dumbo?) and they make me sick. How do we know she is lying, she never bothers to actually check her propaganda, only regurgitate it, and I have never seen a hoplophobe that when cornered personally denies the desire to ban guns for all "simple civilians".
All magazines over six rounds? Dangerous? Long Island railroad shooter, Ferguson was a hate filled racist black man who planned then committed a series of murders on a train. It was passengers Michael O'Connor, Kevin Blum and Mark McEntee that tackled Ferguson and pinned him to one of the train's seats. I suppose that Jackie would rather we all be unarmed and wait for the police?
Note that she is not aware that one of the photos is of a TOY gun.
Oooh now its the evil .50 and "spray-fire-from-the-hip-only-for-war" again, along with BS about automatic guns. Note how she ties in the "guns for terrorists" crap, like a drug dealer or "terrorist" would bother to get expensive US guns in light of the TONS of former Soviet supplies to be had for pennies on the dollar.
Now we are supplying "terrorists" what utter BULLSHIT! Again what "terrorist" would bother with expensive US guns.
You know what I am getting slightly ill by now, I cannot even look at this woman for more than a few seconds now...
Note the sensible and reasonable BS - and that "terrorist watch list" is a fraud, hey lady, ever seen all the news stories about the kids on the list, but its our government and they can never make a mistake. I have a better one, how about firing all the cops who have "domestic violence" records? Civilians you say cannot be trusted with guns and "domestic violence" will prevent you from buying a gun nationwide, how about police with "domestic violence" records, should they still be allowed to carry guns? Why the exception for the statist thugs?
Ugh, now she wants licenses and gun registration, and yes we have auto registration and driving licenses and we were tricked into that un-Constitutional crap also, where does it take us? Do you want to have to pay for a license and a fee for every gun you own every year? Think about how much it cost you to register your car every year, now tell me this will turn out well.
This is not an issue of politics and "sensible laws" it is an issue of RIGHTS and the Constitution, but I far too many of you eastern elitists to expect you to understand, your goal is to rule and have the rest of us shut-up and live under your enlightened guidance, F-you.
Oh boy.
You cannot make a statist think, enjoy the crash you ninnies.
I have a penchant for arguing on-line or cross-blog... Sometimes I go on a bender.
One thing that causes this is running up against an irrational pontificator typically an elitist who has the nerve to spew that an armed citizen is more dangerous than the state.
Fact is a fact, the "state" or states current and historical are the greatest murderers of all time, with staggering numbers that are hard for the common man to even comprehend.
The liberal I worry about is the snotty elitist that would tell another, "I don't have an icky gun and therefore you don't need one either, lets just change the laws and have the big, strong, nanny state just take away all your penis extensions" a childish bully-like attitude of "if I can't have it (or too incompetent, afraid and insecure) you can't", to me that seems to be a clear sign of some form of narcissistic disorder.
Sigmund Freud is often attached to a misattributed quote about weapons that is used mistakenly by the "pro-gun" lobby. What is more interesting is that in Oppenheim vs. Tanay disputing "Neurotic Attachment to Guns" (by Tany - the original source for the "penis extensions" bullshit), what is missed are other more relevant quotes and ideas by Freud where Freud associates retarded sexual and emotional development not with gun ownership, but with fear and loathing of all weapons - blowing (ha) the penis extension argument out of the water.
I am not an anarchist, I am however anti-statist in the same way Jefferson and other agrarians (who are minarchists) who understand the potential evil of the "state" and it's long history of murder and manipulation by predatory parasites. Even Jefferson later in life would come to lament the abuse of state power he had while president!
Many statist will assert that a state is the only way to achieve "great things" of course a nation of taxpaying serfs in lockstep can accomplish many great things, and MUCH evil. Some would use our trip to the moon and a defense for statism they are under the impression that the "space" program's real goal was to go to the moon. A quick search of history shows that the original goal of the "space program" was to provide an outlet for the needed science and a non-military outer shell (remember the cold war) to help progress with advanced missile systems! - gotta love the "state" - this was basically a message to the other side - see we can go to the moon in a tin-can, we can send a big nasty bomb into your living room in Moscow!.
Many statist will assert that a state is good by virtue of power, "look at how big, great, and powerful the US is", this is called the Rudyard Kipling defense, because his major critics stated that he only loved the Empire because it was powerful.
We need to be honest the only reason Europe and Germany in particular is where they are now (and not 50 years ahead of us) is not because we were bigger and therefore better but because we let the Soviets grind their people on the eastern front and pushed from the other front - eliminating the productive competition. Our supremacy in the world was from an act of "competition elimination" an artificial temporary monopoly on advanced production - the "last man standing".
The Soviet Union with the help of the US (and the incompetence of the German Chancellor) pitched lots of supplies and men into the grinder of WWII and then crushed Germany. The victors stripped the country down attempting to implement the Morgenthau plan. The US later would determine that the Soviet Union was a new "threat" and could crank up the military industrial complex again, now without competition from Gremany and Japan, and with loads of new skilled workers and production capacity we built an empire that would later start to fall apart. Adding a side note, the Soviet system fell on it's own weight (not because of Reagan's cold war shenanigans - they only accelerated it) just as the far to huge and far too divided US will eventually.
This all was a long time coming, and connecting the dots is often painful, we all had the same propaganda of patriotism shoved into our heads - we wanted to believe it! But we are depressed and saddened because our favorite neighbor turned out to be a child molester!
The Supreme Court found that LEOs have no legal duty to protect an individual,
EVEN IF THERE IS A RESTRAINING ORDER. See Castle Rock v. Gonzales.
Dispatch 911 - it's only been two minutes...
Armed victim, stop it... bang, bang, bang - end of problem, after SIX reports of personal attacks to the police, begging them for help, the citizen was forced to defend HERSELF.
There is no debate about the FACT that areas with more gun ownership in the United States have a lower crime instance than areas where there is restrictive gun control.
My solution, make open carry legal and "normal" everywhere. Statistically armed citizens are far less likely than "trained police/LEOs" to make a mistake in a shooting. (+1 armed citizens)
Then we hear from the typical ignorant feminized elitists "if we have open carry it will be like the wild west where everyone is shooting up the town! - oh my!" - Bullshit, in fact as you will see the "Wild West" was far from wild, and open carry contributed to the safety of the average citizen.
Facts
1. Countries with the strictest gun-control laws (with similar racial and cultural mixtures) also tended to have the highest homicide rates. - Violence, Guns and Drugs: A Cross-Country Analysis, Jeffery A. Miron, Department of Economics, Boston University, University of Chicago Press Journal of Law & Economics, October 2001.
2. Fact: only 15% of Americans have criminal records, roughly 90 % of adult murderers have adult records, with an average career of six or more adult years, including four major felonies. - victims as well as offenders, finally, tended to be people with prior police records, usually for violent crimes such as assault, and both had typically been drinking at the time of the fatal encounter... In sum, it cannot be true that possession of firearms causes ordinary people to murder, for murderers are virtually never ordinary, but rather are extreme aberrants with life histories of crime, psychopathology and/or substance abuse.- Roger Lane, Murder In America: A History - Ohio State U. Press (Translation - bad people cause crime, not guns and intoxicants aggravate the problem)
3. The American West (from 1830 to 1900) is perceived as a place of great chaos... Our research indicates that this was not the case: property rights were protected and civil order prevailed - The not so Wild, Wild West TL Anderson/PJ Hill, Dept. Economics, MSU.
4. "The Western frontier was a far more civilized, more peaceful and safer place than American society is today" - Frontier Violence: another look, W.Eugene Hollon
5. Of the five major cattle towns for the years 1870 to 1885 only 45 homicides reported - an average of 1.5 per cattle-trading season. Abilene reported to be the wildest cow town, had no homicides 1869-70. Reporting the break in the peace when officers of the law were employed - The Cattle Towns, Robert Dykstra, AAK NY
Of course you get the load of crap from the anti-gunners here is an example.
And an additional example.
Asshole you should be arrested, how dare you go out in public and disturb the peace of sane people. You are looking for trouble and you know it you jerk. I hope you cross paths with a cop that understands you are a dangerous retard and executes you on the street like the dog you are. How many times do crazy people like you walking around with guns hurt people or shoot cops?
Fist, I have to say the statist above is why I censor responses, they are all hit and run completely uninterested in having a logical debate.
If you do want a logical debate, and I have yet an anti-gunner that I have not had tuck tail and run in imbarrassment, I welcome that chance...
So let's answer the ninny’s question.
How many open-carry advocates have killed a police officer - exactly ZERO.
Gun owners in general and OC in particualr are statistically the most law-abiding and peaceful bunch you would ever run in to - unlike the wretched statists like the deluded poster of the above.
There are at least 400 deaths per year by police abuse, and negligent accident (about) 800,000 LEOs in the US or 1 in 4000, US population 307,006,550 (U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, nice and official for you) so 306206550 non-LEO - Firearm homicides 12632 plus 700 = 13332 so 1 in 22,967 not bad.
But let's go deeper,
305886550
When we take out the disabled Americans.
223886550
Take out all under 20 years old.
186886550
Adults of retirement removed.
1 in 14017
That gives us a number 3.5 times the amount of police buggery over citizens heavily biased as we are counting all civilian accidents and all civilian firearm homicide.
Shouldn’t we demand a higher standard for a sworn and trained individual.
1. of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority
2. of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constrained by law or responsible to the populace.
If you can stomach this propaganda - listen very carefully and note how the "professor" is not using the word "authoritarian" correctly how it is twisted deliberately to deflect the application to the equally delusional politically correct statist "left".
Notice the propaganda, the notion that the false left is "free thinking" and the false right is authoritarian. Both the false left and false right will control their sheeple with propaganda promoting the false idea of free thinking, patriotism, correct thinking, righteousness of cause, and political correctness. Acting like cheerleaders screeching about the evils of the "other side" deflecting any identification of the problems in their own ideology.
Note how this "professor" is another cheerleader with a disingenuous promotion of his chosen (or assigned) political deception.
The professor said "I dont wanna bore your audience with statistical numbers" - and why is that? Of course the "reporter" never questions this position.
The propaganda is more and more sophisticated and targeted, but is so specialized that it becomes identifiable and ineffective when not viewed by the specified target.
A gun is a particularly dangerous tool. The gun has become romanticized on all sides, the gun is many thingsto many people including an object of excessive fear.
The gun or the right of the citizen to own guns is threatening to the statist, as it represents viable resistance to “bulling by proxy” the typical position of the cowardly programed brainwashed statist elitist.
Symptoms of hoplophobia:
Your fear of firearms can result in the following symptoms: breathlessness, dizziness, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, feeling sick, heart palpitations, inability to speak or think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack.
Most sufferers are surprised to learn that they are far from alone in this surprisingly common, although often unspoken, phobia.
Hoplophobia is an intense fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. While adults with hoplophobia realize that these fears are irrational, they often find that facing, or even thinking about facing, the feared situation brings on a panic attack or severe anxiety.
Hoplophobia can severely disrupt normal life, interfering with school, work, or social relationships. - PFR
Perhaps they fear that if they acknowledge the hostile feelings, they will lose control and really will hurt someone. They may believe that "good people" never have such feelings, when in fact all people have them.
This is especially true now that education "experts" commonly prohibit children from expressing negative emotions or aggression. Instead of learning that such emotions are normal, but that destructive behavior needs to be controlled, children now learn that feelings of anger are evil, dangerous and subject to severe punishment.
To protect themselves from "being bad", they are forced to use defense mechanisms to avoid owning their own normal emotions. Unfortunately, using such defense mechanisms inappropriately can endanger their mental health; children need to learn how to deal appropriately with reality, not how to avoid it.
Denial:
Anti-gun people who refuse to accept the reality of the proven and very serious dangers of civilian disarmament are using denial to protect themselves from the anxiety of feeling helpless and vulnerable. Likewise, gun owners who insist that "the government will never confiscate my guns" are also using denial to protect themselves from the anxiety of contemplating being forcibly disarmed and rendered helpless and vulnerable.
Reaction Formation:
In the case of anti-gun people, reaction formation keeps any knowledge of their hatred for their fellow humans out of consciousness, while allowing them to feel superior to "violent gun owners". At the same time, it also allows them to cause serious harm, and even loss of life, to others by denying them the tools necessary to defend themselves. This makes reaction formation very attractive from a psychological point of view, and therefore very difficult to counteract.
This is "Bully by Proxy"
Defense Mechanisms Are Not Mental Illnesses:
Defense mechanisms are also frequently combined, so that an anti-gun person may use several defense mechanisms simultaneously.
Also, it's important to remember that not all anti-gun beliefs are the result of defense mechanisms. Some people suffer from gun phobia, an excessive and completely irrational fear of firearms, usually caused by the anti-gun conditioning they've been subjected to by the media, politicians, so-called "educators," and others.
Interestingly, a person with a true phobia of guns realizes his fear is excessive or unreasonable, something most anti-gun folks will never admit.
Defense mechanisms distort reality:
Because defense mechanisms distort reality in order to avoid unpleasant emotions, the person who uses them has an impaired ability to recognize and accept reality.
People who legally carry concealed firearms are actually less violent and less prone to criminal activity of all kinds than is the general population. A person who has a clean record, has passed an FBI background check, undergone firearms training, and spent several hundred dollars to get a permit and a firearm, is highly unlikely to choose to murder a neighbor.
Obviously it would make no sense for such a person to shoot a neighbor - except in self-defense. Equally obviously, the anti-gun person who believes that malicious shootings by ordinary gun owners are likely to occur is not in touch with reality.
One Nation contains no footnotes, endnotes, or citations. Only rarely does the author explain the source of any of his claims. Quite clearly Mr. Grossman has gotten almost all of his information from the national anti-gun groups. Unfortunately, he is so eager to believe that worst that he has apparently not checked the veracity of any of those claims.
Watch carefully for the subtle and not so subtle propaganda mixed in with the genuflection to the US constitution and the Bill of Rights (when asked of course the BoR is always more popular with the public as it is clearly existent to cap some power from the Federalists and it is obvious to this day).
Notice also this was made before the “under god” was added to the fascist pledge to the flag. (If you doubt this take the time to research the Pledge and the history of the author).
Funny how this anti-communist/fascist propaganda film clearly shows examples of the creeping statism that would be the base for further oligarchy/wealth/propaganda control.
The “newspapers” of the time were already tightly controlled and had contributed to the growth of the Soviet system before WWII hiding the actions of the Soviets. Note how the audio was injected dealing with the “newspaper” editor into a nonsensical mishmash, I wonder what the original text was.
Interesting that the “scale” is democracy and despotism when clearly a democracy is just as capable of despotism as anything else. Equating democracy with freedom was a not so subtle attempt at directed propaganda. The continued use of “democracy” to describe our republic is just one brick in the propaganda that has led us here.
Note under education how “open-mindedness” has evolved into "political correctness.” Note how the “progressive/liberal/neo-communist” agenda evolved effective use from this type of propaganda.
The scale should have been Freedom to Oligarchy using this inserted now would give us a good description of the US today. Note how low in the freedom, respect, power, economic, and information scale we find ourselves now.
It always helps to add more skepticism of the propaganda of the established media, and the consistent spew from ignorant firearm control and confiscation supporters. For me the worst part about having to see or listen to the typical firearm control and confiscation supporter’s illogical screeching is not the endless irrational whining but the utter delusion and complete ignorance of the subject.
Yes it is the ignorance, it has to be the most irritating part of listening to the political whores and the useless indoctrinated morons on the internet that continue to support firearm control/confiscation and then prove a vacuous blind ignorance. The overwhelming desire to ask "would you please stop the regurgitated Bullshit and at least try and read something factual or historical about some of the items you are blathering about?"
I can only guess the ignorance of the statist confiscation supporters would be embarrassing, except the major trait of an ignorant delusional vacuous narcissist is an inability to recognize that self delusion. Some of the best are when one of the ignorant zombies dredges up the old canard "You just want to be like Rambo" when in fact the gun industry and the "gun culture" within the US uses "Rambo" as a pejorative to replace Walter Mitty.
The above video is a laugh riot, below is a play-by-play.
1. Designed to allow "spray fire" from the hip? None of the firearms on her little poster are designed to "fire from the hip.” The only thing close to the ridiculous Hollywood “spray from the hip” is the low sling position first introduced by the US army for use with the .30 Browning Automatic Rifle for suppressive fire, this is not "spray from the hip" but an aimed by adjustment field tactic developed for fire and maneuver advancement. A typical hood-rat would not even understand the application. The .30 Browning Automatic Rifle would not even make the "assault weapon" list due to lack of features but does fire an extremely powerful cartridge.
This person is unable to even give an accurate account of her terminology, nor does she have a grasp of a shred of the history at the root of the nonsense word she uses. The Assault Rifle or Sturmgewehr "storm/assault rifle” is a real word and has a real definition and is the base for this propaganda twaddle. The established media propaganda producers were able to capitalize on the ignorance of the general public sadly weened on stupid movies containing evil-looking or "tacti-cool" props with massive special effects applied in compositing/Foley. Honestly the made-up nonsense word "assault weapon" is a politically-motivated pejorative that has recently morphed into "High powered assault weapon" among the super ignorant and whorish firearm control/confiscation batch like Schumer and Feinstein.
2. The larger companies of the established firearms industry until the last few years refused to even enter into the catalogs of products any weapon that resembled anything the control/confiscation types wanted to call an "assault weapon". The demand was from the buyers not the marketing. Many small, quick to react companies started production to fill the demand, the larger companies did not and paid the price for that decision, some continue to pay a price.
3. Bullets from an "assault weapon" are no different than any from any other type of gun in the same caliber, all rifle bullets will penetrate both sides (and the person in the center) of a typical "bullet proof vest" like a hot knife in butter. Most "assault weapons" fire cartridges that are low-power or underpowered by full sized rifle standards.
4. The "assault weapon" poses no additional threat to the typical LEO than any other firearm, in fact real data on the use of "assault weapons" against police show that less than 5% of all crimes against police (numbers are similarly low for the general public) with a firearm include an "assault weapon." The bogus figure of one in five police who are killed with a firearm are killed with an "assault weapon" is without a doubt a lie, a falsehood that will not withstand even the first few pages of research.
5. This babbling idiot wants to talk about the "spirit of the law” - a law that had no real basis in reality. The "assault weapons ban" was actually written by someone from within the gun industry (Bill Ruger) in an attempt to save his failing sales by eliminating his competition. Bill Ruger's dirty secret, the NRA paid cover-up.
The law was based on what a firearm "looked like" and its attachments not the true function. So again we see the ignorant following the whores. One of the provisions of the "Assault weapons ban" was "A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm” in effect all of them are "copy-cats” and that was the basis of this ridiculous law.
6. The velocity of the bullets? You want to ask her "are you delusional?” To this day the .30-06 is the most popular rifle round in the US, I know of no rifle that would fit even her idea of an "assault weapon” that can fire this large full sized rifle cartridge. The .30-06 can be fired with a bullet double the weight and can have double the powder charge that can fit into the most popular assault rifle cartridge. .30-06 is a truly deadly round specifically designed to kill large game, it towers above the intermediate cartridges of the assault rifle - lady you are just delusional and embarrassingly ignorant.
7. Designed to allow "spray fire" - Jesus, Mary, and Joseph what a fuckwit (see #1).
8. The "evil black gun" is attractive to "mass murderers," ugh, can we be honest here? Most of the crimes now called mass murdering sprees were connected to mental problems. I have seen some indication that most or all of the well known murdering events were committed by individuals under the prescription of anti-depressant drugs. We have also been lucky the crimes used as propaganda by the established media were not committed with a simple shotgun, the deaths would be double or triple.
I want to return to the part about ignorance I think the following video about sums up the typical ignorance. It provides perfect example of just what you can expect from the typical political whore.
Criminals do use tools to frighten victims, the firearm is a particularly deadly tool that can be used in the trade of thievery, robbery, and in the hands of the insane or predatory it is frightening.
So what do we see in crime? The top 10 guns used in crimes are predominantly small, inexpensive, easy to operate and conceal handguns, the only "long gun" to make the list is the effective and extremely deadly pump shotgun.
The actual list of most criminally used firearms:
1. Smith and Wesson .38 revolver
2. Ruger 9 mm semiautomatic
3. Lorcin Engineering .380 semiautomatic
4. Raven Arms .25 semiautomatic
5. Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun
6. Smith and Wesson 9mm semiautomatic
7. Smith and Wesson .357 revolver
8. Bryco Arms 9mm semiautomatic
9. Bryco Arms .380 semiautomatic
10. Davis Industries .380 semiautomatic
None of the pistols or the shotgun would make it to the “assault weapons” list and only the S&W and Ruger have magazines that would hold more than ten rounds.
None on the list have a barrel shroud, bayonet lug, magazine outside of the grip, grenade launcher, or flash hider...
