How do you know that? Are you psychotic... err, psychic, or something? They haven't caught the shooters in the Oakland incident and didn't recover firearms.Originally Posted by Poor Richard Saunders

I spoke with a good buddy today who's wife works closely with the Mayor of Oakland so he's tied into everything happening in the City. I was hoping he would have more insight into the shooting but he didn't beyond what's already been reported. He did comment/complain about the number of shootings in Oakland this year (it's been really bad). He's pissed off at some of the City Council members who were big backers of defunding the police and now complain that Oakland doesn't have enough police on the streets, because they don't. (Funny how that works)
It's reported the shooting was gang related. Were these a*holes just a bad aim and only hit innocent people? Or did they just go scorched earth and shoot at everyone hoping their targets would be hit? My buddy didn't know. Sad.

Wouldn’t they be able to determine the weapons used by shell casings? Bullets in victims if not too damaged?
Thread Killer
Only the caliber of the weapon. For example, if the shooter(s) used common 9mm parabellum. Those can be fired from any of hundreds of firearms, including one of these...
If bullets are recovered, all they tell you is what kind of bullet was being fired and mostly to entirely, nothing about the weapon that fired them. You certainly couldn't tell what size magazine the shooter(s) was using unless these were recovered at the site. If there were no casings at the shooting site, you would be able to surmise that it was likely because the shooter used a revolver and didn't reload.

your last sentence, not a question. it wasn't any of TX gun laws that allowed 21 people to be killed.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

irrelevant. Do adults have rights? what age does one become an adult?

Only if the firearm is recovered.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Yep. Fast and Furious comes to mind.

I owned a high power rifle at age 12. I shot no one.So, the 18 year old being able to buy a gun and use it the next day had nothing to do with Uvalde?

He's an idiot. He must think criminals spend the money to join the NRA. DUH! The NRA, by the way, train both civilians and police. They also sponsor and conduct marksmanship competitions. None of our members shot anyone.

How can a simple statement of fact be a false equivalence when it makes no comparison?
