You are awful quick to throw out insults lately. Just because you don't agree with him doesn't mean he's "clueless".

Looks like a Columbia fishing shirt. I have one in green.

I've read a few articles that seemed to suggest that number might be accurate. I read that one person is now going to be a quadriplegic, 2 will be paraplegics. I could not imagine getting that news from a doctor. Many of these victims are going to need help for the rest of their lives. I really hope they get all the help they need. If any TGO members have the means, I would encourage them to make a donation to one of the many groups collecting money.

Wow. I've pulled a few birds out of radiators/front bumpers. Never seen anything like that though.

I saw this elsewhere and thought it was perfect.

I have this same set and have been happy with it. A few of the knives have developed spots on them that won't go away. It's not rust though. I've heard though that once you try a really high end kitchen knife you won't want to use anything else. I wouldn't even know what those might be.

I don't know anything about this guy but his comments about the girl were horrible. It's pretty clear he wasn't one of the many hero's that night.

I heard about his passing a few days ago and couldn't believe it. I've been a huge fan of going gear for years.

I know nothing about bump fire stocks but the jamming might explain the long pauses between firing. I've been wondering about that. I assumed something was happening other than him changing mags.

1) he carried the equipment over the course of a few days. This isn't that difficult. They do have elevators.... 2) what snipers nest? He broke out a few windows, set up a few rifles and started shooting. 3)I haven't seen any evidence that he disabled anything. The smoke detectors going off is part of how they were able to find what room he was in. 4) again, he didn't remove any windows. He broke them. 5) Who says he had no training? He was a shooter for at least 25 years. One doesn't need much training to fire into a crowd of 20k people. 6) The lack of motive is the only part of this that is unknown. We may never know or we might find out this week. ETA, didn't realize Sam beat me to it.

I've had a hard time putting into words how I feel about this one. It's not that the previous shootings were any less horrific but this one is just a new level of disturbing for me. The planning that went into this one is unlike anything we've seen in the past. It's also the first time since the 60's that we've seen someone fire from an elevated position. Those poor people simply had nowhere to hide. Most probably couldn't even tell where the bastard was shooting from. As Oh Shoot said, I'm having a hard time understanding what would cause a retired guy in his 60's to do something like this. By all indications, he has lived a normal life up until this point. It's terrifying to know that there are others out there like this guy that will ultimately do something just as horrific, if not worse, and there really isn't anything we can do about it. It's a sad day when every mass gathering becomes a potential target for people like this. I fear it will only get worse.

Obviously it is...

CNN has video of the aftermath where it shows everyone pitching in to carry out the wounded. They improvised and used metal fencing for stretchers and what appeared to be a wheelbarrow. They then had civilian vehicles take people to the hospital. Despite the evil that caused this I couldn't help but be proud of the spontaneous heros that emerged from the crowd. As Mr Rogers said, when tragedy strikes, "Look for the helpers". Even during our lowest moments, I have faith in good people stepping up and helping their fellow man.

Since when does anyone do this? Both sides are horrible about speculating.

That video sounded like full auto doesn't it?

My best friend was just there a few days ago attending a music festival. I got chills reading the article. I have no other words.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I should continue researching this.

I'm really uneducated on this topic so help me out here. What would be recommended for my Sig MPX? I had planned on picking up a Trijicon MRO until I saw one in person and realized how massive it is. I like that this one weighs less than 2 ounces.

What has Pence done to piss them off? I just just thinking recently that Pence has hardly made the news all year. Are they going to be happy with Paul Ryan?

Muslim angle doesn't seem to fit guys. It sounds more like the guy was not all there. The young man that stopped him was very brave. After graduating from high school, in May 2010, he posted about being a “devoted Christian,” and wrote that he was thinking of becoming a preacher" “Any body can say”dey believe in God”but it takes a TRUE Christian to practice wat we preach & set possitive examples & help guide erbody to da light,da truth,& da way.” http://heavy.com/news/2017/09/emanuel-kidega-samson-burnette-chapel-antioch-tennessee-church-shooter-gunman/

I hate to say this but I'm guessing it's because he killed a lot more people in Charleston.

But I bet it would run forever!

I'm not really seeing your point. We shouldn't allow people from Africa? I don't know much about Sudan.I don't think this guy was Muslim if that's what you're getting at. He was a former member of this church.

My wife and I sat down and watched most of the first episode tonight. Even she enjoyed it. Sadly, I learned more about the war tonight than I can ever remember learning in school. Perhaps I'm just older now and more interested in learning. I had no idea France played a major role in us being there. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
