High Exposure

Jon said he hated plastic guns from Austria. Now he carries one.

Yes, I like my Glocks. I am not ashamed of this. They always go bang!

[sarcasm] 9 millimeter? What a weak little bullet. Should shoot forty-five! [/sarcasm]

PK90 left. He's living the good life now. What a lucky guy.

She must be a saint, to keep him under control. Mrs Z works hard.

Lol! Thanks Mrs Peel I should be sleeping. I have to work 'til sunrise. Can't turn my brain off.

Ray Ray is a pain, He likes debating nonsense. But, we love him still.

The Displaced Texan Likes to kill pigs and cook them. I bet he can grill.

If your pistol jams, Just throw it over the berm. Malfunction? No more. Going old school NJGF

Shawn Moore sees big cats. Not just any kind of cat, but Mountain Lions.

I see what you did! Very Clever, Mrs Peel. Excellent Haiku!

Inspired a post in the "Today's Weather" thread started by Zeke. Haiku - a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world. These should be about the NJGF community, firearms, and 2A. Feel free to be funny but don't be mean - this is supposed to be fun! And please no politics. I'll start: Zeke wants to be Mod. It's an honorable goal, Never give up, Zeke!

It's Africa hot Brooklyn doesn't get this hot Too hot for Tarzan 5-7-5 Zeke

Perspiration's cooling effect is due to evaporation. Sublimation is when you go from a solid to a gas.

Boy it's hot. This is hot. It never got this hot in Brooklyn. It's like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot.

I have one of those too.

If he was intent on killing a specific person, especially a person with a high-profile, and not random people it is still an assasination attempt. The proficiency of the "assassin"or how well thought out his plan doesn't really matter. You can be a "whacked out nut job" and still be an assassin.

Already started on ABC. They kept calling it a "uniquely American event" and a "mass shooting with a long gun". At least until a Republican (didn't catch who it was) set them straight, calling it a targeted attack and assassination attempt.

Rep. Scalise, as Majority Whip, has two Capitol Police with him for security. Both were shot, at least one returned fire. Latest scuttlebutt: 10 min shootout, 50-100 shots fired. Rep Scalise hit in the hip, drug himself from second base to the outfield.

Yeah. So far the ignorance is stunning. I'm going to give them a little bit of a break as I bet they aren't used to violence happening in front of them. Their adrenaline is probably pumping and their heart rates are probably north of 200. They just aren't engaging their brains before speaking. I just hope they don't do more damage with their dumb mouths than the shooter did with his gun.

Link? What news agency is reporting this?

Ok. So post those reports. Let's add to the story we have. ETA: So far so good. But soon as politics gets brought into it, someone will say something that gets it bumped.

I don't necessarily disagree, but let's see who the shooter was, and what possible motives he had to do this before we fire up the blame-thrower. Maybe we can keep the politics out of this thread, and post actual news, and keep it in the Gen Discussion and out of 1A forum.

Apparently Rep. Scalise and some aides where shot this morning by a man with a rifle as they were playing baseball. The gunman was shot and killed by responding police. I am curious to hear more about the shooter and possible motives. Terrorism? Disgruntled Liberal? Whack job? Also, note the use of an improvised TQ. Quick thinking by Rep Brooks. If you have Aid Kits stashed in your house/car make sure they have TQs in them and make sure you know how to use them properly. https://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/06/14/virginia-gop-baseball-practice-shooting-multiple-people-shot.amp.html
