‘Multiple officers down’ in incident near Denver

If a conservative used the term "thug" there are a lot of liberals here who would them a racist for it. My guess is that there won't be any in response to a fellow liberal using the term. But then, that may be a case of "WE can use that word, but you can't."

That's right.
It's like the rappers using the N word. It's OK for them, but not for anyone else.
 
Sorry, but I've been informed repeatedly by liberals that the word "thug" is racist and anyone who uses it is a racist...

Depends on how it is being used. Thug written below the picture of a black man accused of a crime--racist. Thug written to describe criminals in general--not racist.

Oh noes! One more word out of tens of thousands that you might not get to use! Yer loozin' yer freeze peaches!! :mrgreen:
 

you see here is the problem, I know firearms inside and out. I know how bump fire stocks work. I know the laws on firearms inside and out.

Automatic fire means more than one shot per pull of the trigger. Bump fire stocks don't change that. So when those who are ignorant of these facts claim bump fire stock turns a semi auto into a full auto I correct the incorrect statement. You can fire a semi auto as fast without a bump fire stock using some imagination. It doesn't make the gun into a full auto. The only reason why there are bump fire stocks is because the idiotic federal restrictions against real full auto.

You can tell the family of the slain officer about the "idiotic" Federal restrictions...They would be so thrilled to hear your views

do you think they are going to become gun banners over this? have you ever figured out that people who kill cops aren't really worried about the penalty for breaking a law because if you kill a cop its almost a guaranteed death sentence-either on the street or in the court system

BTW is that your rebuttal for being ignorant as to the fact that the shooter didn't use a legally owned machine gun?
 
OH, no, that wasn't Trump. That was Obama who went south of the border recruiting people sick with Ebola to come to the Us to become Democratic voters.

You've been fake noozed my friend! We'll need to quarantine you, per Hillary Clinton's orders, for at least 3 election cycles. Victims of fake nooz are not to be trusted to use their brains in public.

It's no secret that you guys hate the First Amendment with a passion.
 
How long before the NRA erects a monument to pay tribute to the gun that was used there ?

You know, the one they pried from his "cold dead hands".

You sound like you sympathize with this gun nut because he couldn't get a legal machine gun....The family of the slain officer might not agree, might not have the same worship of guns like you do

who worships guns? is that why your argument is silly? because you think people worship guns? Why are you using the death of an officer to whine about guns? why was this shooter a "gun nut"? was he an activist against gun laws? or was he just a nutcase?

This suggests that the anti gun leftwing is mainly hateful of the NRA, not the actual CRIMINALS who use firearms ILLEGALLY to harm others

OK, I bow to your superior knowledge of firearms. A bump stock is not the same as full auto, as I'd been led to believe.

I wonder how many more deaths there might have been had the shooter had an automatic rifle for real?

hard to say. maybe more, maybe less. it depends on his skill and training. I know one thing is for sure-he owned two planes and he could have killed far more with a plane.

with a real automatic weapon and if you use short bursts, he could have aimed a bit better but in this case-where there were thousands of people massed together, I doubt he was targeting specific individuals. Now if the targets were dispersed, a real automatic weapon might have allowed slightly higher hit probabilities at specifically targeted individuals. In this sort of scenario we had in Vegas, no different
 
Hmm..do I really want to invest several minutes of time on 'The Daily Sheeple'?

If the claim is true, I would think it has to do with more officers using equipment like the vest rather than less people shooting at the police.

It is counter intuitive that when there are more people in the country, shootings would go down.

You mean to say a black man can't be a thug?
