Come off it, it's USA, there are guns everywhere and people aren't responsible with them...someone could have put them down and forgotten them.
Edit; spelling
Same, one time I accidentally left McDonalds with the wrong AK47 (had to regrind off the serials again).
I hate when that happens
Make sure to muzzle your guns before taking them on a walk
Yeah...guns dont kill people, rappers do. I saw it on a documentary on BBC2.
They should do a ballistics test using another fascist to see if they get a similar result
Wow, a bolt-action rifle in Utah?
That really narrows down in Utah, where I'm pretty sure you don't even need a license or anything to buy a gun
Wake me up when someone gets Swiss cheesed by a low-power rifle at 200 yards.
EDIT: Yards, not years
Yeah, the term "high powered rifle" is a bit nebulous. I can make some assumptions, but I can't be entirely clear on the speakers intended meaning.
Maybe they want to draw attention away from the fact that you can buy .50 cal air rifles without any sort of ID and have them shipped to your house.
only a couple of years away for one of those youtube tinkerers to build a coilgun that can do 5.56mm velocity
Or black powder guns.
It is the railgun from quake
how sick would it be to be able to shoot people who lived 200 years ago?
It was high-powered because he was scoped in for 30 seconds so he had a fully charged shot.
They were using the Bazaar Bargain and had like 20 head shots already
A generic hunting rifle in .30-06.
Now to make a similar looking rifle in Escape From Tarkov
Everyone and their brother uses the AR platform, the boomer gunman showing these kids how to do assassination in style.
Its boomers that love ARs in my experience. Somehow a hunting rifle with a caliber used in wars for decades and decades isn't manly enough or scary enough (even though they understand most delineations for "assault" rifles are quite contrived). They want to be "prepared" for all the fantasies they have in their head and don't understand how violent encounters happen beyond what they've seen from Bruce Willis' choreography. They want the commodity and what it does for their identity more than they want security, utility, or whatever.
The best way to counter violent situations is to avoid them, not to follow whatever your favorite gun magazine says.
Gas guns have their purpose. 5.56 is a great round with solid performance. You could have easily made this same shot with an AR. Having gone to competitions, everyone in every age bracket basically had an AR, unless they were in the long-range division (500 yards+).
Also the ammo is cheap, the parts are cheap, the mags are cheap, the furniture is cheap, the lights and optics can be cheap-ish, and you can pop off multiple rounds quickly, as needed. ARs are a solid platform.
And in my experience, it's the boomers / fudds who like their bolt guns.
You can take my bolties and my lever actions from my cold blistered hands
The ping sound is like a warm hug from a very violent friend.
I don't need to "pop off multiple rounds" or buy every "cheap" gadget to stuff on my gun tho. Also, long range is more fun. I'm personally sick of the yapping rednecks that want to empty banana clips at their targets then inform me how cheap their ammo is or whatever.
Lmao chuds on twitter were claiming there were pro-trans and anti-fascist markings on the gun. What liars.
Is this from something?
Pic is from the NY Post.
Oh gotcha it's the alleged gun front he shooting?
Looks like the shooter just bought it and brought it over from the store lol
Or the cops wanted to set something up, just took the gun into the woods behind the store and snapped a pic haha
Yeah it's supposed to be a pic of the gun they found on campus. It's a pretty common rifle design for hunting. The only thing is some people might go with a different caliber because .30-06 is pretty overkill as you can take down an elk or moose up to 300 yards with .308
And there we have it. A professional sniper rifle, complete with gun part and scope part. Only the finest marksmen can wield such a weapon.
m1 garand would've been funny
Mosin would have been funny, too
yeah those were cheap for a long time but i figure they're less accurate and you wouldn't want to take the risk
now that's what I call free speech!
It's a Mauser 30.06, imported, discontinued, fairly cheap and no background check for purchase... And German...
only a high powered weapon could be effective on someone with such a high head to face ratio

To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
