    Strange. Why design a gun that shoots a .223, which is much more expensive than a .22 when the .223 is only .003 larger than a .22???

    Just doesn't make sense, does it.

    It definitely packs more of a punch than a .22 but still.....I'm a little surprised they weren't using something else.

    They can put a lot more powder behind the .223 due to a larger casing. [​IMG]

    A coworker is now saying that this guy used to be a moderate Muslim, but married a radical woman, and she converted him over to her way of thinking. Most people who knew him didn't realize this was going on.

    I'm glad I don't have any moderate or liberal Islamic employees in my office right now. It would be an uncomfortable situation, because everybody would be wondering if they were secretly turning radical. It could happen anywhere.

    I could say something similar about right wing rednecks. In general, it just isn't a good time to put a lot of trust in people you don't know extremely well.

    What Americans and Westerners need to understand is that every single case of terror in recent history has been carried out by the Wahabi sect of the Muslim religion. Wahabism started by a man with the same name. It is the core ideology behind the Muslim brotherhood. It is the main religion in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, among other states. It is the religion of the Fort Hood Shooter, Osama Bin Ladin, Al Qaeda, Zarqawi, the first World Trade Center bombing, 911, and now San Bernardino. The Wahabist live by a very strict interpertaion of the Koran. They leave no room for the opinion of others. Wahabism is the religion of ISIL. That is why they kill so many Shia people in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan, India, and Yemen. They have no room for the religious opinions of others.

    What difference does it make what they call themselves? I call them mass murderers.

    It makes a difference when the government goes after them. ISIS and the Wahabist need to be defeated, not every immigrant on the street. And I call them mass murderers too. They are a very dangerous lot. They are very intollerant of other people.

    The challenge is figuring out who's who. The main shooter in this incident was born in America, and he didn't go around making anti-American and anti-tolerance statements in public or at work. Not many people picked up on the potential problem with his new wife, who was apparently a radical for most or all of her life. He didn't make her views well known.

    Exactly. And my guess is it's never really going to happen.

    The female, using an alias on Facebook, pledged alligence to ISIS and then deleted the post before the mass shooting.


    SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — The wife of the couple blamed in the deadly California shootings pledged allegiance to ISIS group and the terror group’s leader on Facebook using an alias then deleted the messages before the attacks, a U.S. law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Friday.
    The remarkable disclosure about the online activities of Tashfeen Malik provided the first significant details suggesting a motive for her participation with her husband, Syed Farook, in the shootings that killed 14 people and wounded 21. http://wgntv.com/2015/12/04/wife-in-san-bernardino-mass-shooting-pledged-allegiance-to-isis/

    Just saw on CNN that the shooter pledged allegiance to ISIS on facebook...guess the FBI doesn't monitor social media very well.

    I fail to see the difference between ISIS and the GOP. They both want to overthrow the government, they're both extremist radicals that use massacres to create fear, and they both want to force their ideologies on everyone else.

    So are the cons going to call for the deportation of Muslims to eliminate the competition?

    Of course, they will be working to uncover more evidence of communications.

    Digital media recovered at multiple scenes connected to the shooting have been sent to an FBI laboratory in Virginia, where computer forensics analysts will try to reconstruct and extract any digital information they can. The bureau hopes that some of the information, such as email and texting, can be retrieved from internet providers and mobile phone companies.http://abc7.com/news/san-bernardino-female-shooter-pledged-allegiance-to-isis-us-official-says/1109459/

    well technically the gun is the receiver...all the extra shit is just extras (stock,grips,accessories etc)

    youll find that out quickly if you try to import one in pieces

    they are legal because the .223 is a good and accurate round for hunting...especially over distance

    In Pennsylvania semi auto and automatic rifles and handguns are illegal for hunting.
    Auto loading shotguns may only have a magazine with a two shell capacity, any larger must be plugged with a one piece filler that can only be removed by disassembling the gun or magazine.

    So while the .233 is legal, there is no excuse for assault style weapons such as the AR15 or Mini 14 unless they are restricted as above.
    Single shot, no semi auto or auto mode.
    This hunting with these guns thing is bull.

    In addition, automatic weapons are prohibited at state ranges and any semi auto is restricted to 3 rounds in the magazine at any one time. At special handgun ranges a pistol may hold 6 rounds at one time. So again why do we need large capacity magazines????

    That video is nothing but sensationalism and to me is disgusting in that it was not only made but then shown by any broadcaster.

    rare I use a .223 for hunting other than groundhogs. it is a small round even with the powder keg behind it. only one bolt action do I have in that cal .. prefer the 3030, 3006, 12g slug.
    I have 2 mini14s, whats so scary about this arm? shit, as wiz said and Im not just siding with a mofo. Ive just as many more .22 style rifles, impo a .22 brought upon human targets, its going to terrify and maim no differently than the .223 in the same style of rifle..
    The Rifleman shoots 12 rounds from a 40-44, the concept of the tube fed rifle is going nowhere..
