  • Nope, not what we were talking about mate. Op said:

    That’s not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it’s outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.

    You said :

    It’s not in the article, it’s in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?

    So don’t try to move the goalposts just because you talked shit, I’m sick of this bullshit.

    We were talking about why a, admittedly monstrous, rapist needs to be used to demonize a whole demographic. You pretended like that wasn’t in the article, I proved it was, that is the fucking conversation we’re having here.













  • The linked article doesn’t say it was a AR-15 it says assault-style rifle and I would consider the specific model to be splitting hairs, since it hardly matters to the conversation.

    But to be truly pedantic the article a little further down specifies it as an Assault style semi-automatic rifle, so fair enough.

    but to clarify that fully automatic weapons are much more rare, and much more dangerous.

    Agreed. Still, semi-automatic assault style rifles pose a unique danger in that they could be “upgraded” to fire full auto, although it being illegal. Most of those are derived from regular fully automatic weapons and the layout allows them to be converted more easily. For example a SL08 with I think 4 parts switched can be operated like it’s military counterpart, the G36.
