Imagine if Reuters published AOC supports BLM days after a Black supremacist ran down dozens. At least that would be more honest than this drivel.

Similar like it happened with their #StopAsianHate fake outrage, I actually wonder did their odd #WhiteLivesMatter phase fizzle out yet now along with Kyle 5 minutes of hate sessions (and crazed pedophile martyr worship)?

I know the obvious problem with #StopAsianHate was the people attackingvthem were black guys, but I still say it stopped because someone realized being targetted as a political punching bag was the worst thing that could happen to asians.

Every group left rhetoric targets somehow never improves or gets pulled down despite people believing they're "helping".

That's pretty good, the tactic does seem to be simply pointing at reality using hysterical tones doesn't it?

Man seem tsking to work, just days after subway murder!

Massie has an M60, his wife has a Thompson

Bruh, I am more jealous of this mans arms collection than anything else.

Also, notice the expert trigger and barrel discipline displayed by his entire family.

Is an M60 even legal in US and A? Same for some of the other stuff.

I thought fully automatic weapons were not allowed.

As long as you pay the $200 tax stamp and pass what's probably a year-long background check, you can legally own a fully-automatic weapon. The weapon itself would be prohibitively expensive (probably something like $40k), and finding one at all would be difficult since their manufacture is all but banned, but yes, it is technically possible for an average person to legally own a fully-automatic weapon.

Interesting. I wonder why these weapons are not more available. Surely, they are produced for military use. Why is gun control so effective here? Is there maybe much less demand for automatic weapons (since they provide no added benefit as far as I know)?

They effectively priced out automatic weapons. They knew they couldn’t win a ban on a legal front so they made it prohibitively expensive to be licensed and own one.

Like the other comment said, you can jump through a bunch of hoops and drop fat stacks of money to get a full auto.

Another option is that there are also semi-auto versions of the gun that are the same gun just without the full-auto. These can range from reasonable (semi-auto Thompson: about $1,200) to “Still Need Fat Stacks” (semi-auto M60: about $15,000).

Fully automatic weapons are allowed in many states, it's just super expensive.

Cheapest fully auto-weapon I've seen was a fully automatic M-16 for about $15,000.

A regular AR-15 goes for around $500 and many are cheaper than that.

Corporations cover themselves in rainbow flags, despite majority of child molesters being LGBT.

Guns don't cause school shootings; feminism does.

So?

Where's Reuters complaining about BLM posting about how they "care about black lives" posts every day after a another black child dies being shot in Chicago and they do NOTHING.

If he apologizes it just drives home the reason why these politicians posing with guns is so silly: if you won't even defend yourselves with words, how likely are you to defend yourselves with weapons?
