Steve scalise shot at baseball practice

[Olive Drab Green]

I can agree with that.

I guess.


Violence just isn't my thing.

I don't like it either, brother. I'm damn near overwhelmed by it, and most of it's years behind me. Something's gotta give, though. The threat dictates the level of escalation.

 

[whitebb2727]

It is. No doubt. But so, too, is oppressing the People and covering up political corruption while championing racism, corporate prisons, and mandatory minimum sentences. And I don't remember them being too outraged about Portland.

I can agree with that also.

Assest forfeiture. For profit prisons. Mandatory minimum sentencing, corruption, greed. I get it.

Things need to change.

How the fuck did a homeless guy get an AR-15? Those things ain't cheap.
Stolen?

They are fairly cheap compared to what they used to cost.

You can buy or build a basic model for $300-400.

 

[whitebb2727]

Happens all the time. It retracts towards your heart, into your pelvis. Hard to locate and extract with foreceps. No way to tourniquet it off. Dead as fuck if you don't figure it out fast.

That happened to one of the guys on "black hawk down."

Wow, that's almost as cheap as an AK clone!

I forgot about that. Yeah, exactly like that.

 

[Olive Drab Green]

People talk shit on WASRs. I like them. Here's a WASR 10/63 at 100m with unzero'd iron sights. Cugir Arsenal stamp on the receiver.

 

[whitebb2727]

Wow, that's almost as cheap as an AK clone!

I built one with all the bells and whistles for around $700.

That's hammer forged, chrome lined, full auto bcg, free floated barrel, good scope with light cross hairs and back up iron sites.

I can keep groups about the size of a quarter at 200 yards.

To buy one like it would cost double or more.

Its cheaper to build one. There is a 10% excise tax on assembled ones.

Violence just isn't my thing.

me neither, unless i'm a laughing spectator or the asshole had it coming.

 

[UncleBuck]

the GOP worked their asses off for years to get people to start shooting politicians.

Here's this excerpt:

"Scalise was in critical condition after suffering damage to internal organs, and his injuries will require additional operations, according to a MedStar Washington Hospital Center medical update late Wednesday.

"Congressman Steve Scalise sustained a single rifle shot to the left hip. The bullet traveled across his pelvis, fracturing bones, injuring internal organs, and causing severe bleeding," MedStar said in a statement put out by Scalise's office. "He underwent immediate surgery, and an additional procedure to stop bleeding. He has received multiple units of blood transfusion. His condition is critical, and he will require additional operations. We will provide periodic updates."

hey scalise: die bitch

 

[Olive Drab Green]

Definitely going to be shitting in a bag. Likely going to be impotent, too, if he wasn't already. If he survives.

 

[Olive Drab Green]

Oh, shit. It wasn't an AR, it was an SKS, the predecessor to the AK. 7.62x39mm. Way more stopping power than the 5.56x45mm AR. That shit probably sucked. He'll probably never walk again, that shit probably shattered and tore everything. I'd be surprised if he pulls through. His iliac artery's gotta be shot (maybe pun intended.)

7.62X39 has better tactical penetration, but 5.56 is lethal as hell.

Must not have been a stock model SKS. They come with a 10 round non-removable magazine and are loaded with stripper clips in the field.

5.56 tends to do one of two things: overpenetrate in a flat trajectory or tumble. If it goes straight through, the body absorbs none of the kinetic force of the bullet, so no stopping power. Some people fight straight through it. If it tumbles, it's going to make a huge mess, and probably put you down. It can actually cause a head to explode. 7.62x39, you're not going to keep pushing through. That shit is going to stop you flat.

Yeah, probably sporterized with an aftermarket detachable box magazine well.

they said they could not find an exit wound, so i'm guessing it tumbled.
