Exactly. Someone, somewhere screwed up... and if he used the rifle to breach the door that isn't exactly quiet, or easy. A rifle is NOT optimal...
Being cautious and being fearful are two different things. I don't have fear when I walk to my car in the middle of the night, but I am cautious...
Premium Light Beer is an oxymoron.
A .30-06 is a far more deadly weapon, a .223 is actually white a weak rifle. So the people calling for an assault rifle ban don't have as strong...
They can easily be purchased online from overseas. EDIT - I'm off to watch football :-p
Yeah, like they were able to effectively supply body armor and armored Humvees the first few years in Iraq and Afghanistan. :rolleyes:
Yes, that was yesterday. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-mall-shooting-20121216,0,3525149.story
Points that are moot in a close quarters attack. Also, hand guns can have extended magazines as well. I posted a picture of a Glock with a drum...

I agree 100% about the handguns, it it is the reason most of the victims were killed with the handguns. Also, AR-15 aka .223 rifles can be very...
.223 is also known as a .556, or number 16. I haven't looked up handgun caliber used, but I'd imagine they were 9mm or maybe .40 (#21) or .45 (#34).
Reminds me of the story of the CHL carrier that helped subdue the Gabriel Giffords shooter that no one heard about.
These are also the exact same rifle, both at semi-automatic .22LR... or the weakest rifle caliber, yet one looks like an assault rifle. Looks mean...
Considering nearly every one of them still has time in the military when they leave, almost all of them. Also, 1967 ≠ 2012.
