12. Well, you see, somebody has posted that they received a semi-automatic weapon as a Christmas gift

back in 2010. He thinks it is 'cool'. 2 weeks ago 20 little children were shot to death, one of them 11 times, by somebody with a semi-automatic weapon who undoubtedly also thought it was a pretty 'cool' weapon.

I find this perverted. You think it is discussion time. We disagree.

I can think of a question:

What is wrong with you that you describe a semiautomatic weapon as 'cool'?

As for you, one more democrat - what do you think he plans on using it for? Do you really think he has a clue?

Did you know that in combat, small caliber weapons, such as the 223 that our last nutbag used, is actually used to inflict wounds, and not death? You see, when someone is killed, it takes 1 man out. When someone is wounded, it takes out 3 - the wounded man, and the 2 who come to his rescue. You want to take out 3. Do you think our man with his new semi knows that, or does he think he owns a 'killing machine'?

Do you really need to think that hard about this?

Do you see a connection between your need to think hard about this and the fact that our nation is littered with semiautomatic weapons and mass shootings and today's 30 dead?

What would that connection be?
