@@nmm8817 exactly what I have said... Ever since Call of Duty has hit the shelves our youth believes that to extinguish a life means you can reset tye game and bring them back... In a way to say see you hurt me now stop it... I grew up in rural Central PA... I graduated in 1993... When I was 13 to the age of 16 I spent every summer at the local shooting range for Survival camp... It was 4 weeks starting in mid June till mid July... We had two weeks of fire arm safety, and hunting safety and trapping... The proper does and don't with fire arms archery and fishing... We were taught to come to the range to active shoot and proper trigger positioning... To never take the safety off except for a clear shot at our game animals... What the proper steps even for home invasion or if car jacked if concealed carry... You don't see these camps or classes anymore... Something the American Society definitely needs...

The point of all this is to convey to the jury that the shooter was *very* deliberate and cold-blooded in his planning, from fantasizing such a shooting to researching the guns and bullets, and purchasing the necessary equipment. It's about proving how cold-blooded the shooter actually was, not just based off what he said in his videos or posted online on message boards, but by highlighting that he followed through with his actions. The prosecution's point is not to let the jury have any sympathy whatsoever based on if the shooter just experienced mood swings on the day of the shooting and rashly decided to purchase some random gun and carry out a shooting. The difference between a cold-blooded attack and a sudden, impulsive attack could decide between life in prison and death.

He did okay, but I do not believe he has spent 10,000 hours or more with this type of weapon system, using it, studying it, researching it, cleaning it, repairing them etc. His description of ammunition is also substandard in my opinion. This was my primary assigned weapon, of which I qualified expert with dozens and dozens of times and also used IRL to defend myself and others with as well as having been characterized an actual expert in my field (EIB). Less than 10% of the infantry will ever earn their EIB. The EIB testing includes physical and mental stress, doctrinal procedures of operations of some 30 - 35 various equipment pieces, weapon systems, or military tactics.

As a sound tech myself, although I am having a mild meltdown over them not having lapel mics too let me tell you that is quite offensive of you blaming the techs of this when it is usually the clients fault for not wanting to pay more for them. Those mics in the tables cost about 20-30€ where I live and can sound quite well if you are good at your job, but if you want any quality whatsoever on a lapel mic it's got to be about 100-120€ and the client rarely wants to pay for them and for the tecs to set them up. I'm not blaming you btw, it is obvious that you have minimum knowledge of this job, just wanted to clarify that on behalf of my profession mates over there.

Seemingly blind to the fact that they have a legislation from 1791 that they think is fully applicable today. Land of the free.. I don’t know, here in Europe you can still get a AR/AK type rifle but you have to be 18+ and an active member of a shooting club for 5+ years and get a acceptance letter from the Police & a Social worker/psychiatrist have to evaluate the mental state of the person that’s applying for the weapon.

smh NO IT WASN'T. i support its civilian use but this nonsense needs to stop being spread. stoner designed the gun SPECIFICALLY for the military to have an advantage over aks. the fact that it was released to the civilian market does not change that fact. in fact, it was a great thing that a military designed gun was available for the civilian market, and thus should be the example that ALL military guns should be available to the civilian market. it literally takes 10 seconds to research the history of the AR15 and why eugene stoner designed it. the version that was later created, (the m-16,) was the official military variant once it was made, and that was literally what the AR15 was designed to set the premise for. so yes, it was designed for the military, but that doesn't mean civilians shouldn't have access to it. it was in fact designed during a time where a lot of people recognized the need for civilian arms that were on par with military ones. after all, what's the point of having the second amendment if the guns we are allowed to have are less efficient and safe than their military counterparts, of which will always be in the hands of those who commit tyranny against us.

The title of this video is terrible- making it seem like the rifle was modified to fire rapidly 139 shots. In reality it had only a few extremely common and legal accessories that almost everybody puts on their rifles that would have had no effect at all on the firing rate. The fore grip “for stability” is more for personal preference, the strap is so you either don’t lose it or have to hold it all the time, and the forearm rail is for mounting more accessories(laser/flashlights/etc) which, even by itself, is often not really worth the extra weight it adds. The 5lb trigger pull is standard. It is a civilian version of a military rifle that lacks full auto and burst capabilities. If it was downgraded specifically for civilians it should be common sense that it is not a military weapon.

Just the manner in which he handles the rifle despite knowing that it is unloaded with no round in the chamber shows his professionalism. In contrast to ADA that attempted to prosecute Kyle Rittenhouse. That DA pointed the rifle at the jury, he broke the 3 major rules in firearm handling and safety in several seconds almost simultaneously. He should have been instantly fired. An expert never violates these 3 rules but especially in a court room. This is a very easy rifle to declare "safe", but you are theoretically never supposed to assume a firearm is clear and unloaded unless you clear it yourself.
