Is that necessary? These credible sources are all saying the same thing. I was late last year


Yes it is necessary if I'm going to judge something I would like to see it myself, I don't just take what people say and agree with it.

I would urge you to take the same stance including everything I say, sometimes the media lie this includes reputable sources here like the bbc.

Are you referring to the false gun show loophole?


I'm not even sure what that is.... you'll have to enlighten me.
I'm referring to the fact pretty much anyone with the money can buy a gun like that, and a metric s**t tonne of ammunition without a single objection from anybody. How is that allowed?

Yes I did and yes it is. It was initially designed for US Special Forces ffs.

Where did you?

Also, the variants used by attackers were never used by the military, its a false comparison.

I edited my older post. And you're right, but it's still a military grade weapon regardless

I agree, but when they're all saying the same thing, it's pretty hard for you to call bs. If the BBC, CNN, RT, Sky, VICE, Al Jazeera etc. are saying exactly the same thing, I'd like to think it's pretty solid fact mate. Jeez

Obama decided to basically say anyone can go to a gun show and buy a gun without a background check, someone tried to do this and was told no.

What's your point exactly? Almost anyone can buy a rifle with a background check. That's still almost anyone

It doesn't matter, did you here about Jess phillips getting rape threats a few weeks ago? I watched Twitter for days looking for a threat there was none, people actually tracked and listed every tweet made to her (https://github.com/HedleyPty/Jess-Phillips-was-not-raped-) but that didn't stop the narrative.

WTF are you talking about? I'd like to get to bed at some point so can we wrap this up?

At first I wasn't sure if that was what you were talking about it being to easy, then you asked me to enlighten you on what it was.

I'm not against making the background checks more intrusive and a limit on ammunition but I think that the democrats go to far with their ideas on gun control.

No, it was a weapon that was designed for the US Special Forces. A Sig MCX. Pretty sure it was bought legally too. Here it is:

.223 calibre, 30 round magazine, semi-automatic assault weapon. Now tell me, why is just about anyone allowed to buy one of these?


No! Maybe you are referring to another atrocity. You cannot buy (even) semi automatic weapons in Britain, pea shooters will probably get banned soon, and rightly so.

Lol, I don't mean to offend you, but are you a dipsh*t? Just because an Australian senator said that, you believe it? Hmmm, and you ask where you went wrong?🤔


Wow, an insult with no counterargument. I'm convinced.

What is there for me to even argue? You said his dad only came for the free dental care, I asked if you were a dipsh*t (which you still havem't answered) and you have given no reliable source to indicate this was even the case.

He's right in that they weren't actual refugees, because they lived in Turkey.

There is absolutely no way the Tories will cancel the referendum, not least because of the backlash they would get from their own members and the electorate.


I agree profoundly

Yh, because theres no crisis there in Turkey.😂 It says they lived there for three years, maybe illegaly? Maybe they had to, because off the threat of terroridt attacks in Turkey or the large flow of mogrants (oh, the irony). You cannot assume they weren't refugees or came solely for dental care based on what one idiot said, jeeze😷
