What kind of sick animal needs one of these to feel like a "man"

Is anybody confused about the message here?



The weapon in this ad is similar to the Bushmaster M4 semi-automatic carbine that was said to have been found by police in Adam Lanza's car after Friday's slaughter at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. If reports are accurate, it was owned by his mother. It is also similar to the Bushmaster rifle used by the Beltway Sniper in the Washington, D.C., area 10 years ago.

white women, to be very precise, getting all worked up over guns.

Buying pink AK-47s, naming their guns, wanting more and more of them, posing with them (in their homes, not a shooting range or any other applicable "sporting" venue).

I don't care if it's their right. It's fucked up, in my opinion.

I sooooo want to fly in one of those.....

Perhaps the most beautiful airplane ever built.

Except maybe the Nieuport 17

Or the SPAD.......

But, as with all things, YMMV.......

Sure is a beautiful aircraft, though. Sheeit.

I don't think I could stomach the pain of crashing it!

Beautiful plane. One of my favorites.

Not used in the shooting. The shootings were accomplished by semi-automatic pistols. Shooting statistics show that compared to handgun use, rifles (of all types) are used very rarely in crimes.

I am surprised that so many people demand rifle bans when they cannot be easily carried concealed, used rarely in crimes compared to handguns, instead of handguns that can be easily concealed. A 9mm Glock with a 14 round magazine and 1 in the chamber carries as much as a standard AR-15 variant sporting rifle with the older 15 round magazines.
