US Representative Shot

[Sovaal]

$120 bucks?

Yes??? Hence the dollar sign? It's probably complete shit, but it serves my general point about the price being pretty low on some models

No, I've literally never seen a good AR go less then $350 is what I meant.

You can probably get one for $120 if you want it to explode in your hands.

[Sovaal]

Oh, missed that part. Too bad.

Pretty sure supporting attempted murderers isn't very acceptable around here.

But the attempted murder victims where republicans, so it's all right. /s

[Xuskeuclite]

If it was politically motivated I hope he's dead. (Liberals need to get over it.)

Probably. Like I said, it was 10 second google fu to see what prices would pop up. Either way the cost is hardly prohibitive for someone looking to commit such a crime

Also find comments like this pretty worthless to be honest.

If it wasn't politically motivated it's ok for him to be alive though?
Either way, pretty sure he's dead

Considering the abysmal accuracy displayed, he might have been using a complete piece of shit.

[Corrian]

He is.

Edit: Also adding liberals need to get over it is pointless.

Well it's a shitpost, so yah.

Mine cost me $850.

[Veridys]

so it was terrorism?

Just assume it wasn't until the FBI makes a statement.

[Sovaal]

Mine cost me $850.

I've probably got over $1100 in mine and it's alright.

Mines a Bushmaster, bought used. Came with 17 thirty round mags (I gave away nine of them).

[Soviet Socialist and Peoples Republics]

I mean, a cheap ar is still hundreds of dollars...

10 second google-fu tells me I could buy one for $120 right now. Not that bad

Smells like gunbroker.

Get over what?

Trump, we need to come together, Hillary lost, blah blah blah...

[Ifreann]

One of the Republicans on the scene seemed to think some 50-100 shots were fired at them. He's probably wrong, because I dare say there's nothing quite like getting shot at to throw off your counting, but still, if that was a musket then this Hodgkinson guy was the fucking Flash.

That's not what I meant, I meant it more as a jab at "journalism" nowadays. Eh, I'm just young and edgey.

I'm just amused by the image of the Flash flash-reloading a musket.

I should send a couple dollars to help pay for his legal fees. I wonder if Cuba would protect him if we managed to get him a plane?

What if it was rightist firing on Democrats?

Last time that happened the shooter was appointed an attorney who was presumably compensate for her time by the state of Arizona.

I'm sure several posters would object to the shooter getting any legal representation, had he lived.

He is dead and that does make it a bit more difficult to ascertain what his motivations were.

Heh

What, shit.

[Imperializt Russia]

Well, he was a "democratic socialist" and supported Sanders, so no, he wasn't "hard-core left wing".

The Kalashnikov is no more a weapon of socialism than the AR-15 or FAL are weapons of "capitalism". US commercial orders for civil-spec AKs are the only thing keeping the Kalash factory afloat these days.

Well, having your signature product being what is essentially open sourced in a market not really friendly to your product doesn't make for a good company.

Whaaa??

The Russian Army stopped placing orders for new AK rifles because they've got a billion in warehouses.
Was it not for the US commercial market, the Izmash factory (which builds the AK) would have gone under.

Nice metaphor, but it doesn't really excuse the overgeneralizations.

Of course not. Now that we are certain the shooter is left-wing we must stress that all the violent rhetoric on his Facebook is merely performance art.

You have failed to demonstrate violent rhetoric, save for taking one word out of context.

[Corrian]

I'm sure several posters would object to the shooter getting any legal representation, had he lived.

And this has relevance to what I said how?

I mainly had foriegn exports in mind, as there/where are hundreds of different manufacturers of Ak rifles, diluting the market for KC.

Also, Russian AKs are banned from import into the US last time I checked, so there goes the US market.

[UKCS]

Oh how my heart throbs for him.

There are other nations that produced the AK. Ian from Forgotten Weapons has a Romanian one iirc.

Oh so the standard don't look behind the curtain thing?
