Don’t you find it odd that the shooter had no motivation? Have you seen the born identity super soldier concept? They basically program shooters to act when given a command.

alex jones yesterday actually.

he also said it was timed to deliberately coincide with the anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution and OJ's release from jail to ensure that media outlets would be in vegas to cover the story.

and something about November there is going to be some kind of revolution. :tinfoil:

gonna jest keep calling all of it terrorism because then you'd actually have to address it because thats how people respond these days

shifting the definition is exactly how they leave the issue alone and make people succumb to the idea of "isolated incidents and lone wolves" as if it's some freak occurrence when its so intermittent and regular that the idea of an isolated incident is a loving oxymoron because they all have the same patterns with how firearms are obtained jesus fuckign christ you loving insane moneygrubbing arsewipes

it impacts families and communities constantly, it needs to go into a broad umbrella of terrorism so people's lizard brains respond to action because post 9/11, the buzzwords makes it

terrorism = it bad, go get em :911:

I was watching a bunch of "bump-fire" videos last night, and apparently you can get those even for semi-automatic pistols - it's goofy to have a pistol with a stock long enough to brace against your shoulder to produce the blowback effect, but apparently it exists.

And then a couple of months back there was this NowThis video showing off a special glove that makes your trigger-finger twitch often enough to shoot a gun in rapid-fire.

I guess my point is that I wonder if drawing the semi-automatic distinction is even worth it.

There still is a significant difference in pulling a trigger as fast as you can like the glove which I've never heard of and an automatic weapon. The difference is several hundred rounds per minute.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May has defended her refusal to discipline or sack her foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, over his recent disloyalty, insisting it was a sign of her strength that she was not surrounded by “yes men”.

The bad part is, that your definition of terrorism is so broad almost every crime is terrorism. Under your definition simply threatening to punch someone is terrorism

Lol weren't you excited to counterprotest Richard Spencer. Under your definition of terrorism you'd get locked up and so would many other left activists

The only one shifting any definition again is you by broadening what terrorism is

I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon.
isn't the whole automatic/semi-automatic thing really a made up distinction in any case? everyone i know who shoots calls a gun with automatic action an "automatic". if someone tells me they have an automatic pistol, my first thought isn't that it's some kind of rapid-fire machine pistol

it just seems like the kind of thing both sides use to muddy the waters.

this is really dangerous bc the patriot act etc means you basically have no rights if accused of "terrorism"

the loosening definition of terrorism since 9/11 has always been one of my biggest concerns (of many) about the patriot act, people increasingly basically refer to any large violent crime they don't like as terrorism and if doing so becomes hypernormalized then it seriously erodes our already ailing civil rights

The criticism that people only call things terrorism when it's brown people is spot on though
