    There's apparently a lot of blame to go around here other than to the criminals who attacked him....

    Where the EFF did I say that actions are okay? I'm talking about the people themselves, and saying that I don't hate them, just their actions and whatever was motivating them to violent behavior.

    Actually I flat out said people have the right to defend themselves if they fear for their lives, and that the court found him not guilty and that the end of it. Your inability to comprehend simple language is your problem, not mine. You are arguing with yourself, and its not coming across as an intelligent discussion.

    Yes

    Sleep said of the BLM protestors
    To which I asked............

    If someone is threatening you with imminent serious bodily harm or death do they deserve to be killed in order to stop them?

    So got an answer? If I had a gun in hand standing watching the person about to seriously harm you and even kill you and I pull the trigger to stop them you would consider they deserved it and would be glad I acted in your defense because you certainly didn't deserve to die or be seriously injured.

    If Rosenbaum had behaved like that around me, I would not want anyone to gun him down for me. Most people would have punched the guy in the face, or....tell him to go pound sand (like the other folks did). KR did what he did because he panicked and judged the situation as life-and-death. The jury believed he feared for his life, so he was declared not guilty.

    I asked the poster about himself and I will ask YOU

    I told you. If Rosenbaum had behaved like that around me, I would not want anyone to gun him down for me, because based on what I have seen I would not have judged it to be a life and death situation. I believe KR when he says he was scared to death, but not everyone would have been as scared as him. He was out of place. Rosenbaum was acting the same around the other armed people, and they just told him to piss off, and later they described him as a "pest".

    Are we still talking about Rosenbaum, or a more serious scenario? Where you saw a guy planning to murder, but I saw an babbling idiot with a plastic bag. In the worst case scenario I would have punched him in the face and knee him in the gut.

    It's a matter of judgement. If you can convince the jury you feared for your life, then you'll probably win the case, but if you can't then you go down for manslaughter. Not everyone wins self-defense cases. Sometimes the jury rules that deadly force was not necessary.

    History has shown it would have been a worse idea to not take the AR-15 to the RIOT. I'm noticing you're casting a lot of blame on the person obeying the law who was attacked, and haven't had anything negative to say about the people who attacked him. I don't think that's a coincidence.

    you fail to understand that the AR 15s that have been sold to civilians for over 60 years are not select fire. Do you understand what that means. BTW what sort of firearm do you think is protected by the second amendment?

    you do know that in 1986, all automatic firearms made after May 19, cannot be "registered" and thus private citizens cannot own them.

    I CLEARLY posted that the AR-15 was copied by a different manufacturer and made as the M-16 used by the US army as STANDARD ISSUE for the viet-nam war

    MOre fail.

    the AR 15 was originally designed by Gene Stoner-and others and Made by Armalite. the original version could be selective fire since military contracts are more lucrative than private sales. Colt bought the patent and the rifle-in full auto form was adopted by the US military. Until 1986 civilians could buy real M16s. NOT A SINGLE MURDER Or ATTEMPTED MURDER has ever been linked to a legally owned M16 rifle in the hands of a civilian

    gun banners try to demonize the weapons MOST protected by the second amendment. The entire bed wetting over "assault weapons" proves that crime control has nothing to do with the leftwing anti gun movement. and the arguments raised by gun banners prove that they have no clue about the subject matter-rather their actions are spurred by politics-they see gun advocates as people who vote against their pet agenda-abortion, gender confusion, gay acceptance, socialized medicine, affirmative action etc

    I eegerly await your next post claiming it’s not the same gun becasue one of the springs only has 26 coils, and not the 27 in the original.

    Its the same gun….let it go !

    Why tell such obvious falsehoods

    the Military M16 rifle is fully automatic and thus is a 1934 NFA weapon and illegal to be sold to private citizens if it was made after May 19 1986

    THE AR 15 that has been sold to private citizens since the mid 60s is NEITHER fully automatic and not under the restrictions of the 1934 National Firearms Act so you are not being truthful claiming they are teh same weapon
