Facebook Corner

(One of my cousins posted about the Las Vegas massacre.)

There is a rumor (I heard on FNC) that this guy may have been a leftist targeting country music fans (generally thought to be GOP or conservative), just like Antifa violence and (separately) the attempted murder of House Majority Whip Scalise.

(to an assault-rifle restrictionist)

You think mass murderers are law-abiding citizens? The only people you're disarming are potential victims.

(and to a response victims don't go around with assault weapons)

 there are other contexts, e.g., you are outnumbered and basically on your own. You would be dead far before the police showed....(Would I bring one to a street concert?) It depends. If I thought Antifa might show up. (What about rifles predating bans?) It goes beyond that. Prohibitions never work. People just go to the black market. Or, e.g., someone publishes a 3D design on the Internet where you could download and make it with your personal 3D printer.
