Ferguson, MO

You got me… I was under the assumption that I was talking to people that knew nothing about guns. My apologies. I do not own a select-fire AK-47, therefore I technically don’t own an AK-4.7, rather I have an AK-47 style weapon. Thanks for the correction.

It is no problem, I am always here to help.

It all makes sense now: http://rt.com/news/181024-viral-video-rebel-ferguson/

Why? You can only fire one at a time.

Unless you’re Chuck Norris. Are you Chuck Norris?

No. Not Chuck Norris. The AR-15s have different purposes. I have one for coyote hunting, one for recreational/competition shooting, and one for my wife. The AK style gun and M1A are just badass guns, especially the M1A. I collect guns. I shoot them all (not at once obviously). Shooting is a great stress reliever, too. Go fill up a milk jug with tannerite and shoot it with a rifle. You’ll soon understand where I’m coming from.

I can shoot two guns at once, though, my accuracy will practically be non-existant.

wow just got real

Context is everything.

I hope you also have a laser guided gun to carry while jogging.

lol… i don’t live in texas, i would NEVER carry a .380, and I will never put a laser on a handgun.

Who saw this coming?

A lot seems to be made of the fact that Ferguson is 67% black, while all the elected officials and 95% of the police force is white.

The obvious retort to that is: Why aren’t more black people running for office? If they are, then why are they losing to the whites? How many of the 67% bother to vote?

And how many qualified black applicants has the Ferguson PD had in the past, say, five years?

I’d like NYT and HuffPo to answer these questions, please.

They’ve mentioned it and shifted the blame to lack of recruitment efforts to achieve a diverse police force.

It’s really amazing to what degrees liberals will go to self-flagellate. They’re actually saying it’s the (white) police force’s fault for not shoving black guys (and gals) into police uniforms.

Did anyone watch the video of the store robbery?

How 'bout the dude that was shot by the cops four miles away a couple days ago? That looks cold.

is alphy sharpton on the way to nyc?

Yes, and the world doesn’t need a person like that living.

Something seems off when the average person in a community cannot qualify for police training program…

Should the average person on the short bus qualify? Ok, offensive for sure, but couldn’t resist. Flame away.

I studied under a professor who had a lot of experience with African American issues. One of the things I remember finding interesting was that there was a criticism from some African American academics on how African American’s as a whole reacted to their situation by basically just not participating in the system. This was juxtaposed with how the Jewish people responded. I’m positive that if a white professor informed us of these opinions he would have lost his job. At any rate, these things are very complicated and can’t be viewed in isolation of historical context. But I don’t think the blame for situations like this can ever be placed solely on one group.
