26. That's really great to know about the AR15. Had it been a real assault weapon in Aurora

that gun nut maybe would have killed hundreds instead of only 70 some.

You really are a nut to want an AR15, a copy of a military weapon. Why not join the Marines or Army and get a real assault weapon?

Oh, I forgot, in the Marines you just don't get to make believe at some target range, you get return fire. That makes all the difference doesn't it?

How fucking macho does carrying a big black make believe assault weapon make you feel?
