Indeed so, and so easily diagnosed as such. Perhaps next time it would pay to take a few moments to research what you write before you hit 'Submit Reply' or 'Post thread'?

the media is not calling them that I know,, I playgerized Rush and I'm deeply sorry can you forgive me I'm so polilically incorrect,,,

Politically and grammatically. Are you trying to use morse code with commas?

So what are they calling them now,,????

Immigrants who have entered illegally. It's referring to the action of entering and being in a nation illegally rather than calling the person illegal. Tomato, Tomateo.

And after all of this,, all you got is one Marine that did a mass shooting back in 1966.,,wow you rock

And?

So are they still calling the Ft Hood Shooting a work place inceident,,?????

What should it be? An act of terror? Does that make Sandy Hook an act of terrorism?

Um...don't do whatever it was you think you did. Consider yourself warned. I think.

no silly goose il-2 I think I'm an attic
No offence taken,, because you are right and don't you ever forget it. I'm alot calmer than I use to be, but I can still hit a beer can at 50 paces with my 1911 so who's side did you want to be on ??????

I think I'm an attic.

You think that you are a space beneath the pitched roof of a house?

It was a very horrible incedent, and it shouldn't have been used to advance an agenda,, it was done in poor taste, and those people are still being exploited it is sickening. We had the greatest heath care system none to man, that shooter could have been helped, but no let's get goverment involved, well good luck with that.

oops addict

I'm on my own side Mate.
Been shot at more then once in my life also.
Judgeing from pictures?
You have around a five foot plus stride for left-right steps.
That places you 25 feet give or take away from target.
I'd also bet it's a stationary target where you have time to calmly take a shot with no threat of incoming fire, in a situation you control.

As a Marine? I'd expect you to realize what your odds are were you to come under fire from anyone beyound that range armed with nearly any rifle.

Add to the fact I don't fight that way.
(Which means I ain't the only one trained like that)
You'd never see me to start and I'd drop you and that 1911 at over 500 yards.
(And THAT is an EASY shot for me!)

That is not a threat from me by any means by the way.
It's just that when people tell me what they can do with a Hand Gun at close range?
Combat is rarely at close range or under those 'beer can' shooting conditions.

We can both agree on that.

it was done in poor taste, and those people are still being exploited it is sickening.

Unfortunately in this day and age, and perhaps even in earlier days and ages, people caught up in tragedies are prime targets for political exploitation, from both sides.

We had the greatest heath care system none to man, that shooter could have been helped, but no let's get goverment involved, well good luck with that.

I can't really comment on the US health care system because it confuses me somewhat, but that aside, I think we can both agree that the mental health care system for young men needs to be improved and drastically. Unfortunately without government assistance, that's not likely to happen because it is not a profit making exercise, and private enterprise is only interested in making money, be it from government grants or from charging patients for care. Either which way the patient comes last.
Admittedly, even when government does get involved, it usually tries to run the service to make money when it should be run to mend people, but that's the way the system works, exploitable resources and all that.

That would be 50 yards with 45 and a beer can ,, at the time i couldn't spell known,, that was known to man. and any G.I knows to shoot for center mass on a move-ing I've been shooting all my life, I've been shot at and have returned fire, I think once was enough, I made my my point clear, don't take pot shots at someone that might return fire. I bet that guy had a bitch of a time patching those 12 ga slug holes in the rear quarter panel of that 65 falcon, and that guy had an ar or a mini 14. save myself and the freind I was fishing with.
