    Enrique Marquez still hasn't been sentenced for his complicity in the terrorist attack(s). Mr "open borders" Marquez brought a little "diversity" to San Bernardino via a sham marriage to jihadi Jane thus making a mockery of immigration law. Then in the spirit of "inclusiveness" Enrique treated everyone to AR-15's to make them feel at welcomed and accepted. POS is only looking at 25 yrs for all those deaths and separate plots to kill hundreds more.

    In his own words:

    What an A Hole.

    Btw, he also sexually assaulted his track coach in high school. She kicked him off the team but was pressured to let him back on so as not to ruin his chances at becoming a marine and learning how to efficiently kill people.

    Cease making nonsensical claims that are devoid of basic fact.

    By the same token, a great many lives could be saved if the private use of motor vehicles was subject to stricter regulations, if not outright elimination. But many claim the number of lives saved by such, would be greatly outweighed by the inconvenience society would experience if people could not drive from point A to point B.

    It is all about a balancing act.

    Unless they gave him the wrong drugs and this does happen to some of our vets. Some drugs given together are NEVER suppose to be taken together.
    I really don't know anything anymore for sure.
    I was against the war but totally for our troops. And yes that is possible and totally against the communist mind controlled mental's in our streets attacking our troops returning home. I wasn't a hippie I was married and having kids during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

    I don't think all NCO like corportals were issued a pistol.

    We always looked at carrying a pistol as sniper bate.

    Charley saw someone wearing a pistol and assumed he was someone important and needed to be taken out.

    Also a pistol is just another few extra pounds that has to be humped with and an additional weapon that had to be cleaned.

    Not all Marines were issued K-Bars.

    Those Marines who weren't issued a service rifle with a bayonet rated the K-Bar.

    Sadly all of the victims were disarmed by their government.

    Guns are a necessary pain in the ass. Never carry more than you have to.
    OTOH, that K-Bar would always be a good thing to have handy - fashion sense permitting. ;-)

    So I doubt his military service had nothing to do with it and there was no PTSD.

    PTSD doesn't make someone turn into a killer but the complete opposite.

    During WW l it was called "shell shock."
    During WW ll it was called "battle fatigue" and you could get a slap in the face from a general.
    They had no name for it during the Vietnam War, you just asked yourself what did I get myself into and I want to get out of this ****ing place.
    Then after the Vietnam War some people (probably liberals) who never been there and done that said that Vietnam veterans were broken and were nut cases and needed professional help.
    Bull ****.

    Ian David Long, again another millennial.

    I've heard that he was bullied at the bar in the past ?

    Why are millennial adults bullying other adults ?

    Bullying other people usually ends after grade school, it's kids stuff.

    When I was growing up we learned how to deal with bullying, it was calledf fistacuffing, not running away looking for a safe space or resorting to a gun.

    When I got transferred to Sub Unit One 1st Anglico I had just been promoted to corporal and was made a NGF spot team leader. I rated a pistol but never checked it out of the armory and just kept my M-16. But being ANGLICO I rated the K-Bar and I must have used the K-Bar for opening a thousand C-ration cans.

    Wikipedia does a pretty good job on telling the history of the most famous combat knife in history. Rarely used as a combat knife but an all round utility knife.

    The shooter's Facebook post is heartbreaking:

    “I hope people call me insane... (laughing emojis).. wouldn’t that just be a big ball of irony? Yeah.. I’m insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is ‘hopes and prayers’.. or ‘keep you in my thoughts’... every time... and wonder why these keep happening…,”

    If you were issued a M-14 or M-16, you were issued a bayonet.

    In 2003 all Marine Corps M-7 bayonets for the M-16 were replaced with the new OKC-3S bayonet which is nothing more than a K-Bar that can be attached to the M-16 or M-4.

    You said "Banning AR style weapons and of course limiting clip size."



    What do you think about banning assault clips?

    Good article. I don't think there is a better design for utility knife.
    Better materials may be discovered. I have developed a strong bias for things that do not degrade when neglected.
