I am sorry, but you should not post on this thread because of you currently being a suburban dweller. Your upbringing may mean something to you, but being a Mequon guy prohibits you from discussing the city of MKE.
Again, I am sorry for pointing this out and please focus your efforts cleaning up the mess in the dental racket, and it sure sounds like a hell of a mess.

I am sorry, but I thought there was a lengthy thread on another mass shooting. I must be misremembering.

The honest answer is I am unsure what I would do. If it's a lost cause, run for my life.

I would run as well.

Thank you. Jockey's scenario is what I was imagining.

Having a firearm for safety/protection when you're alone make sense.

I wasn't understanding how it would make sense in the middle of a mass shooting

I agree. I have no problems with having a gun for protection, for hunting, for target shooting, or for collectors.

But Assault rifles need to be banned. Period.

There is no need for a citizen to own a gun whose ONLY purpose is to kill massive amounts of people in a short time.

No one who owns one of these weapons is a responsible gun owner. No one.

  "assault rifles" are banned and/or illegal.  until you know what you are talking about, educate yourself.  assault rifles are fully automatic or interchangeable between full automatic and semi auto.  if you don't know the difference, automatics only require one to hold the trigger for multiple rounds to be continuously fired, i.e. machine guns.  semi-auto fires once per trigger pull

AR stands for armalite, the original maunfacturer of the semi auto rifles people like to call "assault" rifles.   the reason people like to call AR's assault rifles is because it sounds scary

I have plenty of Armalite rifles. I have no idea what an "assault rifle" is because it's a made up, fictional term to scare people who don't know anything about firearms.

Hey Merit

I hope you post more often. Good to see some new faces.

GB Warrior

Good point, glad we don't have to be afraid of mass violence perpetuated by easy access to non-assault rifles.

Goose, I look forward to your similar Scoop police work when Doc Dribble starts his 10th and 11th MU campus crime threads.

More guns, whatever they are, aren't the answer.  People that brag about having AR-15's or whatever are usually mouth breathing, no dick, overcompensating losers as we can see in this thread

It is not police work and I appreciated you pointing out my sticking to the NBA when I veered off target on a thread. Just thought it was it paying it forward.

Note, I told Doc he should not post in the MKE thread because he is no longer a resident in the city. Posters spoke and I wanted him to know that he should only focus on suburban issues.

Hey, if it was me I would welcome Doc to discuss his thoughts on the shooting last night. I would equally welcome you to derail any or all threads with off the topic comments. The mods are getting overwhelmed shutting down threads and I am trying to help out. I cannot fix the perceived gun problem in MKE and helping here seems like a worthy cause. Shutting down a thread 14 posts shows the level of stress and I want us to help each other.

I think you know exactly what an assault rifle is. A widely used generic term for rapid fire rifles with a large magazine capacity.

If the good Doc cannot post because he is not living in MKE, shouldn't that apply to everyone who doesn't live in MKE?

It is complicated. If you do not live in greater MKE you are free to voice any opinion on the topic. If you reside in suburbs there is strong argument that you should not contribute to the situation because you do not actually live in the city. As I said, it is complicated, but if you are from NC I do not think any posters will object of you joining the conversation. But, if you happen to have a political slant against WI leaders, there could be some objection by some posters.

Doc Dribble

You have as much credibility on the topic as Vanilla Soft Serve has in the history of MU ball. There are guys that live 1000 miles away from campus that know better than you.

Oh, by the way I was reminded to make sure you do not post on Marquette Campus Crime post anymore. So, consider yourself warned.

Also, since we are clearing the air here, thanks for being my dentist. I know your profession has a very dark side, but you appear to be pretty legit.

I do not think God or country is acceptable on here. Family should be good, but check back later.
