    Yes, mortars are very old low tech weapons, and they are very deadly.

    No question that those of us who have the resources and skills can build whatever weapons we want. Fortunatly the average gun nut has neither the skill nor the education.

    Pray tell, what exactly is the source of information being referenced on the part of yourself to making the above general, all-encompassing statement regarding firearm owners?

    The incident must occur within a publicly accessible venue, such as a facility of learning, shopping small, movie theater, or other similar locations that do not constitute a private residence.

    That matter aside, the majority of these supposed mass shootings occurring within a private residence, are being committed by those who are already prohibited from legal firearm ownership due to disqualifying criminal records. That makes their locations of residence firearm-free zones by default.

    Yep...something like $6 American if memory serves. The trickiest part of my build was the mags (never got it right, but was able to get a handful of original ones) and getting the mag well correct for reasonable reliability.

    How would you know one way or the other? Ever try?
    I doubt you would know what’s possible.



    A few examples from one of the most firearm restrictive places there is.

    And the average anti-gunner has even less skills or education.

    You do realize Maduro is barely holding onto power against citizens armed with bottles and 2x4s right? Imagine if everybody had a gun.

    Really?

    CARACAS, Venezuela — It was a daring gambit: Juan Guaidó, Venezuela’s opposition leader, stood by a military base alongside dozens of uniformed officers and political allies, calling for a military uprising against President Nicolás Maduro.

    Three weeks later, Mr. Guaidó is shuttling among a half-dozen safe houses to escape capture. Most of the men who stood with him by the base that day, and many of the legislators who support him, are in jail or sheltering in foreign embassies. Soldiers routinely shut down the National Assembly that Mr. Guaidó leads.

    And the protests that filled the streets with Mr. Guaidó’s supportersare dwindling as Venezuelans, struggling with a crumbling economy and shortages of food, gasoline and medication, return to the business of surviving.

    Weakened and unable to bring the political crisis gripping Venezuelato a quick resolution, Mr. Guaidó has been forced to consider negotiations with Mr. Maduro. Both sides have sent representatives to Norway for talks, a concession Mr. Guaidó previously rejected.

    This change is a turning point for the opposition, which in January had gathered momentum, attracting broad international backing and huge crowds of supporters. Now, that momentum has nearly dissipated — a testament to Mr. Maduro’s firm hold on power even as the country crumbles around him.

    I am sure you have evidence that will back up that statement.

    Now that defys logic. Or have you not figured out that if mass shootings by your first paragraph must occur in a public place then how can you the majority of the suppised mass killings ccur within a private residence.

    And movie theaters, night clubs, country music festivals and schools aren't publicly accessable venues since admission is charged or in the case of schools guards control the entrances and exits.

    No the point was about the education levels of gun owners versus non gun owners. And of course there are intelligent educated gun owners and intelligent well educated non gun owners. And vice versa.

    ^ Somehow the benighted peasants in Pakistan manage it.
    You realize your public library likely has manuals and diagrams? You never went hunting in the stacks as a kid? O the places you'll go with books my friend.

    10 yr olds can steal or borrow dad's tools while the parents are out one weekend and the siblings are "watching" them.
    Or just make a pipe zipgun. Or a pipebomb. Or napalm.

    I'm not sure what an "obe sick" is but I assume that means "irregularly stocked"?
    No, that's a common hardware store. Those guns are purposely made simply so they can be crafted out of common hardware store parts. See Luty and similar authors/inventors.

    It is quite evident, based on which side of the divide continually claims firearms such as the AR-15 are military weapons.

    It is being pointed out that incidents which occur within a private residence, and are committed by an individual that legally resides there, do not constitute mass shootings.

    Then why have so many mass shootings occurred within these public venues if the public is not allowed free access to them? Why have so many of these mass shootings at these specific locations, been carried out with rifles and shotguns that are physically impossible to conceal under an article of clothing? If the entrances and exits are truly controlled, why are mass shootings continuing to happen there?

    The above link only reveals the percentages of those who are willing to admit to owning a firearm when subjected to a random and invasive questioning by a complete stranger. It does not do anything to show what percentage of the united states population actually does own firearms.

    In other words you’re wrong. Glad we cleared that up.
