As a former riflery instructor I felt the need to point out that the shooter did not have as much knowledge/training as Thayendanegea stated, mainly due to his choice of weapons and his strategy. This is important to understanding the story because it shifts the shooter away from being a trained terrorist and more to him being someone with a mental disorder that went crazy. BTW, the 7.62x39 is more lethal that the 5.56x45 (1653 ft-lbs vs 1295 ft-lbs respectively), and an AK-47 would be a far better gun for the enclosed environment that he was shooting in. As far as accuracy goes, my zastava n-pap can shoot four inch groups at 100yds all day long. Also, the size difference is negligible when comparing a 30rd AR-15 magazine to an AK-47 magazine.

criminals don't abide by gun laws anyway. it's pointless, and irrelevant what he used, although it was an ar-15. Single-fire is all you're really allowed to buy without the tax stamps and approvals, although you can file down the trigger mechanism to make it full auto, but that makes the weapon dangerous. single fire doesn't make the rifle any less deadly.

in florida, the lower reciever, gutted, is the "gun" part. you have to pass a background check and all to get one last time i looked at getting one for sport and hunting.

Well yeah he's a Muslim, of course he believes that.

What should be done about it?

Should charges be brought against the shooters father?

What exactly is the point of posting that?

Lastly, I don't like either of them...their primary function is to kill people in a efficient manner and I'm against them being legal to the masses.

And, by the way, my father was a marine corps scout/ sniper in Korea and my brother in law is a Pa. state trooper shooting instructor....I've been around guns most of my life and I started shooting off a bench when I was 8 yrs. old. I do know a little about guns. Actually, my son owns two AR,s one in a .22 caliber (which I prefer because it doesn't jump at all and costs a lot less to go shooting.) and the standard .223....The muzzle climbs as you keep squeezing the trigger rapidly. The old Kalashnikov was worse.

Yeah. It's all classification, division, and separation. The west is no more civilized than the rest of the world. In many ways we are actually less civilized. We have different culture, different society, but we are all people. Only the west doesn't give two shits if thousands are dying abroad everyday, but if 50 people get clapped here in Babylon everyone acts like its a terrible tragedy somehow different and more important than all the other tragedies that occur elsewhere.

Like when that shit happened in Paris. Everyone was putting Paris flags on their social media and shit, and yet just the week before in the Middle East or perhaps it was South East Asia over 100 people were killed but no one gave two shits about it in the west.

It just shows how blatant racism, prejudice, and classism still run rampant in this 21st century.

If anything this event will be used more for political gain and personal gain then actual sympathy and actual attempting to solve the problem.

Well yeah more civilized in certain ways and less in others.

We have technology, and money, and power,  any we have relative security, and social services and infrastructure, but we lack community, we lack appreciation and love for each other, we lack true empathy and compassion for humanity, life, and the planet in general.
