Maybe I missed this, but how do we know that the 8th and final round killed the hostage?
All we know is that 7 shots hit the perp and one hit the hostage. Could have been any of the shots, you're just assuming it was the final one.
I read back through the report in the OP. Is there...
I'm hoping to sell locally here, let one of you guys take this from my hands before I try to post on Gunbroker.
I've got a WASR-10, with the cleaning kit, and three 30rd mags. I also have an aftermarket sling I've attached to it.
I'm also willing to throw in the approximately 300rds of ammo...
You realize that requiring a course makes a right no longer a right? Just like requiring a permit/license does likewise. You're asking people to give up a right and not argue why they shouldn't.

Let's go back to words then. Since you claim you can't own them. What about people who copyright phrases or words? Like "Let's get ready to rumble" or, and even more ridiculous to me, the guy from Storage Wars who trademarked, "Yup." Because that's how he calls that he's bidding. Even...
Well, that was partially jest. I don't expect many owners here to carry their entire arsenal with them always. That would be a headache.
But since this is serious thread, I will give serious answer.
This entire gun control debate stems down to a difference in the primary value premise upon...
I don't believe that a thought, or word, or idea is property. What is property is what you do with it.
ATOMonkey was pretty spot on with his alchemy reference. If I have the idea, but I never do anything with it... why is that mine? Now, if I create the device that turns lead into gold...
Allow lawful firearm owners to carry all of their weapons everywhere with them at all times. Might suck trying to sit on the bus, but that's the price you pay for freedom and looking bad ass.
