It’s a school shooting… a 14 year old is going for a “military style” gun
There could be. I am not sure to be honest.
Their brains aren’t fully developed until like 26. I mean obviously 26 is not being discussed. 18 is it but it’s just an interesting exercise for me.
They announced that the kid is being charged as an adult a couple of hours after the shooting

Still going with a Glock 19 until I’m told otherwise. 15 rounds per mag, concealable, favorite of the VT shooter.
Right, because civilians with AR-15s are an even match for military with M-16s on full auto.
Just like Obama before them calls for gun confiscation go out before the victims bodies even cool. 
Kommie calls it senseless while ignoring the fact that she and Biden have let in many millions of illegals who have committed countless murders.
She has nothing to say on that.
Nothing at all.

You probably shouldn’t opine on things you have no functional knowledge about. Most rifle fire is in semi-auto mode. I’m talking about service members engaging the enemy with their individual weapons, not crew served machine guns. And that military model fires 3 round bursts, not unrestricted full auto. Individual rifles are hard to keep on target with unrestricted full automatic fire. Semi-automatic fire allows the rifleman to maintain sight picture and bring accurate fire onto targets as they are identified and engaged.

I have an Expert Rifle medal that suggests I may know more than you apparently think.

It’s all so silly.
And also, a completely wrong reading of the 2A.
That means you can hit where you aim most of the time. It doesn’t mean you can make a critical analysis of fire discipline, and capabilities, as demonstrated by you comment that a civilian with an AR 15 is somehow out gunned by a military rifleman with an M-16 capable of 3 round burst fire. And the M-16, and the weapons deployed since went to 3 round burst, instead of full auto, about 30 years ago.

Oh, you’ve done it now
Even a .22 rifle is semi-auto.
When i was a kid growing up in the country we used those to shoot tin cans.
The correct reading of the 2nd Amendment is found in our historical records.
During the framing and ratification debates of our federal constitution, a number of the States were extremely apprehensive that the federal government being created would eventually swallow up and devour their autonomy and dictate federal authority over the internal affairs of each state in matters such as would affect religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, etc., And to preserve State authority over such matters, a Resolution was passed submitting twelve amendments under the authority of Article V [our constitution’s amendment process] containing “declaratory and restrictive clauses” in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of powers by the newly created federal government. For confirmation of this fact see: Resolution of the First Congress Submitting Twelve Amendments to the Constitution; March 4, 1789
And for addition evidence confirming what I have stated above, see James Madison’s speech before Congress with reference to the adoption of these specific amendments, and confirming their adoption is to preserve and protect “federalism”, our Constitution’s big-tent system which reserves to the States and people therein, all powers not delegated to Congress. He says:
“It cannot be a secret to the gentlemen in this House, that, notwithstanding the ratification of this system of Government by eleven of the thirteen United States, in some cases unanimously, in others by large majorities; yet still there is a great number of our constituents who are dissatisfied with it; among whom are many respectable for their talents and patriotism, and respectable for the jealousy they have for their liberty, which, though mistaken in its object, is laudable in its motive. There is a great body of the people falling under this description, who at present feel much inclined to join their support to the cause of Federalism” ___See :Madison, June 8th, 1789, Amendments to the Constitution
The bottom line is, the 2nd Amendment was intentionally designed to forbid our federal government from infringing upon the people’s right to keep and bear arms.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.

The point is that individual weapons fire is meant to be primarily semi-automatic. It improves accuracy and conserves ammunition. A rifleman, armed with an AR 15 and 7 mags, going up against a rifleman with an M-16/M4 and 7 mags is essentially on equal footing, from the standpoint of the rifle they are carrying.

Air Force or Navy?
What’s the correct reading?

Are you advocating law abiding civilians ought to have access to full auto?

The Democrat Party Leadership has abandoned America’s constitutionally limited, democratic system, and now advocates democracy, which is a lawless, mob rule system of government.
Neither.
well since the expert marksman badge is not a medal to begin with…
Cub scouts?
