Terminology
The "AR" in AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle", not "assault rifle".

The Colt AR-15 is closely related to the military M16 and M4 Carbine rifles, which all share the same core design, first patented for use in the AR-10, featuring a gas-operated, rotating bolt (combined with an integral piston) instead of conventional direct impingement, operating system patented under U.S. Patent 2,951,424 by Eugene Stoner. The term "AR-15" is now most-commonly used to refer only to the civilian variants of the rifle which lack the fully automatic function.

So you say it isn't based off the military style M16?

This says otherwise

I'm saying the starting point is pretty much the same.

If you don't think that 1907 can accept larger capacity magazines, you're mistaken. If you don't believe with just slight mods, it can be made to be fired like a fully automatic weapon, you're mistaken.

And the 'assault rifle' term is a perfect example of the propaganda from the start. Meanwhile the vast, vast, vast majority of gun homicides in the US are done with semi-auto handguns.

But let's not let another predictable crisis go to waste, right? I swear, on this subject......... I can see where some black people might believe that it's a totally racist response. They get nowhere near this much attention in the urban war zones. But is that because it's democratic strongholds? or because the shooters are mostly black? I can not decide.

How has your right to BEAR ARMS been diminished?
Shy of being a criminal or subject of a restraining order, you do have the right to carry a gun.

Who gives a fuck about sports teams?

The team.owner can change it or not by what they think the audience wants

I can not own or buy a Thompson sub. I am subject to very infringing laws and regulations in many places in the US (usually where gun crime runs rampant)

So even a simple restraining order is enough to deprive a person of their gun RIGHTS. How would you feel if a simple unproven complaint against you by anyone took away your right to vote?

You're missing the point. They changed it from the Bullets to Wizards as a means of propaganda. See? All better now. No gun violence in DC.    WHY is it that almost every major political/social problem is highly visible in places like DC? And the situation rarely gets any better AFTER they pass more laws and regulations designed to 'fix' things? All that seems to happen is law abiding people get more hassle and the cost of everything goes UP.

The audience had nothing to do with it.......like so many other sports names. It was the non-stop whiners that feel triggered by anything and everything

Say it wants you to insurrect against the US government?

Sounds more like it wants the citizens to be a ready army so it doesn't need to maintain one at a cost to the government.

It says you can bear arms.
It does not say anything about the type of arms nor that your goal is to overthrow the power that has allowed you to be armed.

Entitled little dude, aren't you?

Damn.

Free state........does it say country? or does it mean the state of being free?

It's both..........we weren't supposed to have this massively expensive standing military, so interested in messing about all over the planet. AND, more than one Founder mentioned that if the Govt should ever get too tyrannical and overbearing, then it was kind of expected that people SHOULD rebel against it.......violently if needed.

That's right, it doesn't say what kind of arms....it says SHALL NOT be infringed. And they don't 'allow' sh!t. We allow THEM to remain as our servants.

I'm entitled because I believe I am free and you are free and nobody in Govt should have the power to lord over you?

Grumpy olde white guys are the go-to for most these days. Everyone else is a victim, apparently. 

The Govt may indeed obstruct, arrest and imprison me or others......even kill. That still doesn't alter my view that THEY do not grant me a single freedom or right. It's their job to OBEY the Constitution. (Not that they have in years)

Uvalde School Shooting
Texas Mass Shootings
UVALDE SCHOOL SHOOTING
Before massacre, Uvalde gunman frequently threatened teen girls online
Young people who met the alleged gunman online said he had threatened to kidnap, rape or kill. But they said their reports were ignored and that his kind of angry misogyny was just “how online is.”

BY SILVIA FOSTER-FRAU, CAT ZAKRZEWSKI, DREW HARWELL AND NAOMI NIX, THE WASHINGTON POST MAY 28, 20229 AM CENTRAL.

He could be cryptic, demeaning and scary, sending angry messages and photos of guns. If they didn’t respond how he wanted, he sometimes threatened to rape or kidnap them — then laughed it off as some big joke.

But the girls and young women who talked with Salvador Ramos online in the months before he allegedly killed 19 children in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, rarely reported him. His threats seemed too vague, several said in interviews with The Washington Post. One teen who reported Ramos on the social app Yubo said nothing happened as a result.

Some also suspected this was just how teen boys talked on the Internet these days — a blend of rage and misogyny so predictable they could barely tell each one apart. One girl, discussing moments when he had been creepy and threatening, said that was just “how online is.”

In the aftermath of the deadliest school shooting in a decade, many have asked what more could have been done — how an 18-year-old who spewed so much hate to so many on the Web could do so without provoking punishment or raising alarm.

But these threats hadn’t been discovered by parents, friends or teachers. They’d been seen by strangers, many of whom had never met him and had found him only through the social messaging and video apps that form the bedrock of modern teen life.

The Washington Post reviewed videos, posts and text messages sent by Ramos and spoke with four young people who’d talked with him online, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of further harassment.

The girls who spoke with The Post lived around the world but met Ramos on Yubo, an app that mixes live-streaming and social networking and has become known as a “Tinder for teens.” The Yubo app has been downloaded more than 18 million times in the U.S., including more than 200,000 times last month, according to estimates from the analytics firm Sensor Tower.

On Yubo, people can gather in big real-time chatrooms, known as panels, to talk, type messages and share videos — the digital equivalent of a real-world hangout. Ramos, they said, struck up side conversations with them and followed them onto other platforms, including Instagram, where he could send direct messages whenever he wanted.

But over time they saw a darker side, as he posted images of dead cats, texted them strange messages and joked about sexual assault, they said. In a video from a live Yubo chatroom that listeners had recorded and was reviewed by The Post, Ramos could be heard saying, “Everyone in this world deserves to get raped.”

A 16-year-old boy in Austin who said he saw Ramos frequently in Yubo panels, told The Post that Ramos frequently made aggressive, sexual comments to young women on the app and sent him a death threat during one panel in January.

“I witnessed him harass girls and threaten them with sexual assault, like rape and kidnapping,” said the teen. “It was not like a single occurrence. It was frequent.”

He and his friends reported Ramos’s account to Yubo for bullying and other infractions dozens of times. He never heard back, he said, and the account remained active.

Yubo spokeswoman Amy Williams would not say whether the company received reports of abuse related to Ramos’s account. “As there is an ongoing and active investigation and because this information concerns a specific individual’s data, we are not legally able to share these details publicly at this time,” she said in an email. Williams would not say what law prevents the company from commenting.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said Wednesday that Ramos had also written, “I’m going to shoot my grandmother” and “I’m going to shoot an elementary school” shortly before the attack in messages on Facebook. And Texas Department of Public Safety officials said Friday that Ramos had discussed buying a gun several times in private chats on Instagram.

Ten days before the shooting, he wrote in one of the messages, “10 more days,” according to the official. Another person wrote to him, “Are you going to shoot up a school or something?” to which Ramos responded, “No, stop asking dumb questions. You’ll see,” the official said.

Andy Stone, a spokesman for Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and the chat service WhatsApp, referred The Post to an earlier statement from the company that said the messages were sent privately.

The rise of services that connect strangers through private messaging has strained the conventional “see something, say something” mantra repeated in the decades since the Columbine High School massacre and other attacks, according to social media researchers. And when strangers do suspect something is wrong, they may feel they have limited ways to respond beyond filing a user report into a corporate abyss.

Many of Ramos’ threats to assault women, the young women added, barely stood out from the undercurrent of sexism that pervades the Internet — something they said they have fought back against but also come to accept.

A 2021 Pew Research Center study found these experiences are common for young people, with about two-thirds of adults under 30 reporting that they’ve experienced online harassment. Thirty-three percent of women under 35 say they have been sexually harassed online.

Danielle K. Citron, a law professor at University of Virginia, said women and girls often don’t report threats of rape to law enforcement or trusted adults because they have been socialized to feel they do not deserve safety and privacy online. Sometimes, they don’t think anyone would help them.

Women and girls have “internalized the view, ‘What else do we expect?’” said Citron, the author of the upcoming book “The Fight for Privacy: Protecting Dignity, Identity, and Love in the Digital Age.” “Our safety and intimate privacy is something that society doesn’t value.”

Ramos’ hatred toward women and obsession with violence were clear in the messages viewed and interviews conducted by The Post, but his identity was mostly hidden. The teens who spoke with The Post said they saw him on live videos he did on Yubo, then they exchanged Instagram user names to message with him.

And he’d constrained his comments to private messaging services like Yubo and Instagram, leaving only the recipients with the burden to react.

Like many of the people he spoke with, Ramos had shared little about himself online. He used screen names like “salv8dor_” and “TheBiggestOpp” — and shared only his first name and his age. His profile pictures were selfies, him holding up his shirt or looking dour in front of a broken mirror.

He shared animal videos, struck up flirtatious conversations and shared intimate things about his past that left some feeling like distant friends. But in recent months, he’d also started posting darker imagery — moody black-and-white photos and pictures of rifles on his bed.

His threats were often hazy or unspecific, and therefore easily dismissed as just a troll or bad joke. One girl told The Post she first saw Ramos in a Yubo panel telling someone, “Shut up before I shoot you,” but figured it was harmless because “kids joke around like that.”

In the week before the shooting, Ramos began to hint that something was going to happen on Tuesday to at least three girls, she said. “I’ll tell you before 11. It’s our little secret,” she said he told them multiple times. On the morning of the shooting, he messaged her a photo of two rifles. She responded to ask why he’d sent them, but he never wrote back, according to a screenshot viewed by The Post.

“He would threaten everyone,” she said. “He would talk about shooting up schools but no one believed him, no one would think he would do it.”

Another 16-year-old said she met Ramos on Yubo in February and that he messaged her asking for her Instagram account. Earlier this month, he reacted to a meme she’d posted that referenced a weapon with a laughing emoji and said, “personally I wouldn’t use a AK-47″ but “a better gun”: an AR-15-style rifle like the one police have said he used in the shooting, according to a screenshot viewed by The Post.

The Uvalde shooting comes less than two weeks after another gunman killed 10 Black people in a Buffalo grocery store. He live-streamed the attack through the video service Twitch, which removed the stream within a few minutes; copies of it remain online.

The alleged gunman, Payton Gendron, also used the chat platform Discord as a place to save his online writing and pre-attack to-do lists. On the day of the attack, he invited people to his private room, and the 15 who accepted were then able to scroll back through months of his racist screeds and see another view of his attack live-stream. Discord has said the messages were visible only to the suspect until he shared them the day of the attack.

The revelations about the Uvalde gunman’s social media activity follow years of complaints from activists and high-profile figures about Instagram’s ability to combat its most troubling users. Instagram has said that tackling abusive messages is harder than in comments on public pages, and that it doesn’t use its artificial intelligence technology to proactively detect content like hate speech or bullying in the same way.

Instagram users can report direct messages that violate the company’s rules against hate speech, bullying and calls to incite violence, and they can block offensive users. But many abusive messages still slip through the cracks. The Center for Countering Digital Hate, an advocacy group, said last month it had analyzed more than 8,000 direct messages sent to five high-profile women and found that Instagram had failed to act on 90 percent of the abusive messages, despite the posts having been reported.

Facebook’s critics have alleged that the ability to tackle dangerous posts could get harder once the company follows suit on its plan to expand end-to-end encryption, which scrambles the contents of a message so that only the sender and receiver can see it, as a default setting on all of its messaging services. Currently, encryption is the default setting on WhatsApp but users only have the option of encrypting their messages on Instagram and Facebook. But the company has argued that as more people flock to private messaging it wants to ensure social media networks are “privacy focused.”

In recent years, Instagram has launched new tools to protect teens from predatory users, particularly adults attempting to groom them. Last year, the company began making young teens’ accounts private by default once they signed up for Instagram, and they stopped adults from being able to send direct messages to teens that don’t follow them. The company also recently announced a “hidden words” feature, which allows users to filter offensive words, phrases and emoji in message requests into a separate inbox.

Yubo said it bans posts that threaten, bully or intimidate other people and uses a mix of software and human moderators to curb inappropriate content. People can block others’ accounts or report concerns to a team of “safety specialists,” who the company says respond to each person’s report.

Researchers have documented that a history of violence or threats toward women is a common trait among gunmen in mass shootings, as evident in the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting and the 2019 shooting in Dayton, Ohio.

Whitney Phillips, a researcher joining the faculty of the University of Oregon this fall, said social networks could do more to push back on violent harassment toward women, but that the threats on their site are a reflection of a larger “boys will be boys” cultural attitude that normalizes men’s bad behavior online and offline.

“When someone says something violent to you or makes some sort of death threat to you, for many women that happens so often that it wouldn’t even register with them,” Phillips said.

So women are trash deserving rape, but once reported, his account was not deleted.

Another good example of how entitled and whacked many kids are turning out these days. Despite all of the teachers, counselors, social workers, experts, etc etc etc

Twitter was and is a solely woke leftist domain. WHY would they be so afraid of Musk taking over? It reminds me of all the cheering about Obama nad other democrats as president using their ever growing governmental powers......... AND THEN? Trump gets elected and the hysterical screaming begins?

And you won't even acknowledge all that BS about tyrants and abusing power? It's YOUR guys doing it in spades.......while Trump never did become the dictator he was just sure to be.

Just saw a tik tok of Uvalde parent struggling at work
Yeah, she’s still having to go to work! The mom said she can’t take FMLA because she’s part time with no benefits. Her child survived, but is now completely traumatized, she is terrified to leave her moms side. Her child texted her over and over while she was at work to please come home, that she needs her. Her child has been sleeping in bed with her mom and dad since it happened. And honestly asshole Abbott should have the state grant these parents paid leave to be by their children’s side. They need to feel safe. I saw another interview of a victim that survived while in the classroom, say her son is having severe nightmares and wakes up screaming every night. She said she’s trying to find him counseling. The fact a counselor hasn’t already been provided to these kids free of charge, is a damn shame! Yet Abbott keeps pushing the “mental health” excuse, yet doesn’t seem to care about the current state of the children’s mental health! Mothers should not have to be the ones searching for one! I’m so so angry over all of this!😡

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – Quarius Naqua Dunham, a third grader from Portsmouth, N.H. was killed over the weekend when police say he and his family were victims of a random shooting in South Carolina.

According to the Florence County Sheriff's office, 40-year-old Charles Montgomery Allen allegedly shot at three cars as they drove by his home on Saturday.

Dunham was rushed to the hospital after being shot in the neck. The 8-year-old was removed from life support on Sunday and later died. His father was hit in the leg, but is expected to survive.

Portsmouth superintendent of schools Stephen Zadravec said in a letter to families that counseling will be available throughout the week.

"Our hearts are with the family as we support each other through this unbelievable tragedy," Zadravec said.

Parent Laura Stoll says she struggled to tell her son that his friend won't be returning to school. "This was a completely random act, it's just really heartbreaking and it's terrible to have to tell your child news like this, it's really hard," Stoll said.

"I truly can't imagine what his friends and family are going through, it's a lot," parent Emily Weidman said.

Allen was arrested after the incident. He is charged with one count each of murder and attempted murder along with possession of a weapon during a violent crime and three counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.

"It's unimaginable from any perspective," Portsmouth Mayor Deaglan McEachern said. "Our hearts go out to the family and when they do return to Portsmouth we will show them just how strong of a community they have."

Florence County Sheriff TJ Joye told WBTW that Allen was likely under the influence of drugs.

"No motive. Just probably methed up. He's got a history. He's incarcerated now without incident. Just a senseless, senseless act," Joye said.
