    They are a very diverse movement. Some of them are harmless jaw jackers, some advocate a more "hands on" approach, so to speak.

    You're lack of a sense of humor also keeps you from understanding when I'm joking and when I'm not. Just to be sure you understand, I wasn't joking, so I'm glad it wasn't funny. :waiting:

    Ah, that explains why two of them are dead, and one wounded, instead of being tucked into the cruiser with a kiss and a bedtime story.

    I guess the whole "walked into a Jewish deli and murdered the people inside and then started shooting out of the place" has nothing to do with it.

    Aurora shooter's still breathing.
    Jared Lee Loughner, ditto.
    Dylan Roof's gonna get a shot someday, but he'll probably be an old man.

    These guys kept shooting right up until the cops showed up, and after?

    Some people are, to use a Rumsfeldism, "dead-enders." Some aren't.

    And if we're going to talk racial politics: notice how quickly this story receded into the background, despite having a hate crime angle and a dead police officer.

    Trump's people strike again! :no:
    That aside am I alone in seeing the irony of a group of fake Israelites attacking a group of real Israelites? Okay technically Israel is a nation and Judaism is a religion, but you get the gist of what I'm saying.

    It didn't recede into the background. It was one of the top stories everywhere all day. :unsure:

    Okay, that's clearly an error… in the twitter feed of one fairly insignificant news outlet… which has since been corrected. So I wouldn't really call it an attempt by "the media" to cover up the truth.

    this deli shootout will end up being like the gunfight at the OK Corral. There will be five different versions of what went down and why.

    Yeah, fuck THE police for not allowing the shooters to kill everyone there. That would make AMERICA so much better :dayton:

    Dumb ass.

    so then where do all the black market firearms in NJ come from if not the closest states without UBCs?
    or are they generally legally procured in state?

    google for the win!
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/frankminiter/2014/08/12/inside-the-black-market-for-guns/#354d5c0c181e

    here is a cool little segment:

    "The illegal gun market, as it turns out, is as diverse and shadowy as any black market. Nevertheless, there is a moral to the story. The basic lesson I drew from meeting the ATF agents is they’re never going to get all the bad guys’ guns—even in London where handguns are completely banned the bad guys often have handguns. Instead, what cops need to do is go after the bad guys. As they do, they need to respect the good peoples’ right to own and carry guns. When they do this the vast majority of law-abiding gun owners become part of the solution to making the streets safer."

    Every state has a background check. Every firearms purchase involves a call to NICS.

    besides the obvious skipping over of off/after market sales, I'm still no closer to hearing where all these guns used in crime come from if the acquisition is so well regulated/prohibitive...
