    Off subject, but how do you guys know someone's a Christian? I'm no one. So is there a secret handshake or something? I guess I've never looked for signs. I have zero issues with someone having religion unless that religion tells them to kill me. Just curious. I hear this a lot.

    Because we are from this area. 95% of people from this area are Christians.

    Definition of woke

    chiefly US slang
    : aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)But we will only succeed if we reject the growing pressure to retreat into cynicism and hopelessness. … We have a moral obligation to "stay woke," take a stand and be active; challenging injustices and racism in our communities and fighting hatred and discrimination wherever it rises.— Barbara Lee… argued that … Brad Pitt is not only woke, but the wokest man in Hollywood … because he uses his status—and his production company Plan B—to create space for artists of color, with such films as 12 Years a Slave, Selma, and the upcoming film Moonlight.— Giselle Defares

    Memphis can actually get quite a bit worse.  They are already short 400-500 police officers and a woke DA who supports reclassifying juveniles as anyone under 26 is not going to help retain what officers are still there.  Sycamore View/Macon Rd may get even more interesting.  

    Can you define "woke?"

    That guy folded up like a wet dish rag after that last poke.  Any idea if anybody was charged?  Kinda worried for the guy with the knife.  

    He is all of 23.. the guy he stabbed is like 16 or 17.  The owner made a post on reddit and did an Ask Me Anything... he deleted it though after people told him it was not wise to post that.

    Just when I think you guys couldn't get any more conspiratorial, you surprise me. I guess I'll wait for my government forced and controlled electric vehicle. Maybe they'll send us another stimulus check to help pay for it. 

     

     

    I really hope they are trolling at this point lol.

    I would guess that the hero has grown up around firearms most of his life and spent a lot of time in a range. What ever gave him his abilities, to put 8 out of 10 rounds in the bad guy at 40 feet is to be commended and his actions are appreciated by many!!

    What gave him the ability was that he leaned against a pillar to steady himself.

    Before The Lulz went off the deep end, he made a valid point about denying the ability to use effective tools for self defense is to essentially remove the right of self defense. 

    A great and recent example of this comes from our neighbors up north  

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/guns-must-not-be-used-for-self-defense-canadas-trudeau-insists

     

    Framed in that manner the argument has merit in that as you say it does limit the tools with which you CAN defend yourself.  Saying you cant defend yourself just in general though isnt accurate.  

    The whole start voicing support for JB my misinterpretation of support for JB just rubs me the wrong way because the guy has voiced his support of the military dictatorship in Brazil and for dictators all over South America.

    Views on the Brazilian military dictatorship

    Bolsonaro and his son Eduardo hold up a Brazilian flag during a ceremony to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1964 military coup d'état, 1 April 2014.

    Throughout his political career, Bolsonaro has made several admiring comments about the U.S.–supported Brazilian military dictatorship which ruled the country from 1964 to 1985. He said in 1993, eight years after the return of democracy, that the military regime had "led to a more sustainable and prosperous Brazil".[10] Bolsonaro has publicly referred to the military dictatorship as a "glorious" period in Brazil's history,[181] and that under the military dictatorship, Brazil enjoyed "20 years of order and progress".[181] In December 2008, Bolsonaro said that "the error of the dictatorship was that it tortured, but did not kill".[182]

    Bolsonaro has also repeatedly made admiring comments about a number of other Latin American dictatorships. He praised Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori as a role model for his use of military intervention via self-coup against the judiciary and legislature.[10] In a 1998 interview with Veja magazine, Bolsonaro praised the Chilean dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, and said the Pinochet regime, which killed over 3,000 Chilean citizens, "should have killed more people".[183] In 1999, Bolsonaro said that Hugo Chávez represented "hope for Latin America", comments that became a matter of controversy during the 2018 campaign, when Bolsonaro presented himself as a harsh critic of Chavismo.[184] In 2019, already in power, Bolsonaro commended Paraguayan dictator Alfredo Stroessner as a "visionary" and "statesman", drawing immediate criticism, particularly due to multiple allegations of pedophilia against Stroessner.[185][186]

    Speaking before his vote in favor of President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment amid the massive corruption scandal, Bolsonaro paid homage to Colonel Brilhante Ustra, an agent of Brazil's military dictatorship, and announced on the floor of the Chamber of Deputies that he was dedicating his pro-impeachment vote to Ustra's memory. Ustra had headed the DOI-CODI torture unit where Rousseff was allegedly tortured during the military dictatorship. Left-wing deputy Jean Wyllys spat at him after his statement during the same session. The congressman claimed to have suffered homophobic offenses from Jair Bolsonaro and his allies.[187][188]

    In a TV interview with Câmera Aberta in the 1990s, Bolsonaro said that if he ever became president, he would use this as an opportunity to shut down the National Congress and instigate a military coup himself. As of 2018, he appeared to have changed his mind, and said that if someone becomes the head of the country, it would be through voting.[189]

    In March 2019, Bolsonaro stated that the 1964 coup d'état that overthrew President João Goulart[190] was not a coup, and that 31 March, the day the coup was installed, should be "properly commemorated".[191][192][193]

    Here's another lesson for you-

    Human beings, possessing an immutable right to self defense, which I've noticed you haven't refuted, also are by nature a tool using species.

    Denying people the right to use modern tools -firearms- for their own defense denies them the very right of self defense. 

    I could make a list, but lets start with your favorite country -Russia- where arms laws are very strict yet murders far outpace ours.

    https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2013/09/19/224043848/the-u-s-has-more-guns-but-russia-has-more-murders

    You think I like Russia?  Are you mental?

    I am interested on why an arm brace would have been a factor on your thinking, it makes no tactical or technical difference between a pistol with a brace and an SBR which have been available for decades.  Not to belabor the point, but and individual hell bent on killing someone, or many someones, would not care of the legality of one vs another, and would, if they knew anything about ARs, opt for just using an illegal SBR vs a brace.

     

    To kind of keep on subject; anyone know what type of rifle he used?  I read that it was purchased/acquired legally, but they have an "assault" weapons ban in place.  I also seen where someone called it AR like, so what could be a legal Ar style rifle that would be legal there? 

    The difference between a "pistol" with a brace and an SBR is that someone went through more stringent requirements to get that SBR. They will generally be a more responsible person.  A pistol with brace is just bending the rules when we all know they are using that pistol as a rifle.  The "solvent traps" are another example. The device used by the shooter in LV would also be a prime example.
