Chinese teenager 'kills eight in knife attack

[regexcellent]

Assault rifles are select fire. AR-15s are your standard fair semi-auto rifle, but in a relatively small caliber and with military-looking furniture.

[Asher]

You didn't answer my question.

[Guynemer]

Scrolling down I was like, "Oh she's pretty OH MY GOD"

Understatement. Gotta be shopped.

[DinoDoc]

What does the AR stand for in AR-15?

The "AR" in AR-15 comes from the ArmaLite (original company that designed it) name. '****.

[Al B. Sure!]

What does the AR stand for in AR-15?

Armalite, the firm that designed the weapon.

Really, Asher... you think AR stands for Assault Rifle? That's the dumbest **** I've seen you say. Everyone knows it's Armalite.

This is their AR-7:



Does it look like an 'assault rifle' to you?

[Al B. Sure!]

This is the AR-24:



Yeah AR stands for Assault Rifle

Everyone knows?

I've never heard of ****ing Armalite before.

Do you know why?

Because I live in a sane country.

Geez, sorry for asking.

Evidently I have been burned by Canada's propensity to teach science in schools instead of the history of modern firearms.

It's strange how the ones who know the least about guns think they have all the answers.

[Snotty]

Lax rooty tooty pointy shooty laws give you the largest prison population in the world, and a homicide rate only challenged by the third world. Those arent exactly answers, but they are facts.

And I know the least about guns. I thought AR meant assault rifle too. I blame video games.

You don't need to know who manufactures guns and what pedantic type they are to know they have no place in a civilized society.

[Felch]

Asher, you're a fan of whisky, right? Suppose that some of your fellow Canadians got tired of all the unnecessary deaths caused by alcohol, all the car crashes, the expense of treating people with liver problems, the social problems of drunkenness, all that. Suppose that they wanted to try to limit people's access to hard liquor. They might say something like, "We're okay with people enjoying alcohol reasonably; beer and wine are fine in moderation. But there's no reason why anybody should drink this poison. It's only purpose is to get people as drunk as possible. Liquor has no place in civilized society." And they might even have some compelling statistics about how many lives they could save. Suppose that one of these people says something stupid like, "Alberta Premium is 80 proof. That means that it's 80 percent alcohol."

Wouldn't their complete failure to research basic terminology piss you off? Wouldn't you feel angry that people are spouting off opinions without bothering to find out basic facts? Wouldn't you wish that ignorant mother****ers keep their ignorant ****ing opinions to themselves, instead of trying to take away your right to enjoy whisky?

The War on Drugs, Mandatory Minimums, and short sighted politicians who wanted to look "tough on crime" gave us the world's largest prison population. Guns have jack **** to do with it. But thanks for inflicting your ignorance on us.

[Uncle Sparky]

AR stands for Arkansas. Hillbillies like guns.

Do they teach how to use Google there?
