The tribes of Benjamine and Judah call it Armageddon. Harm a geddon. Mog and Magog.

As for the warriors, it will be interesting for them to put their skills to the test in the Last Battle, since I believe many humans had expected that those skills obtained in this era of peace would never see much use. Even armies are becoming less effective due to 4th generational warfare.

As humans kill humans, as the heart of men grow cold, and become hardened to the divine truth, all the mysteries and hidden truths of our creation, past, and destruction, will be revealed. That will interest the intellectuals, I am sure.

It seems the thin veneer of civilization is wearing through and our animal nature is being revealed. I don’t know why this is happening, but I know it ain’t good!

That’s easy to answer, my intel networks inform me that the police unions and Demoncrat officials in Chicago, work with the gangs. They need the gangs. The gangs enforce lower level order, and give a kickback to the police union bosses and Demoncrats.

The police union can use the gangs to enforce law and fear on the police officers that like to “whistle blow” on corruption and vice charges. Stick together and toe the Blue Line, or get killed by these gangs roaming around. Gangs who coincidentally, seem to be armed by Democrats…

Full auto requires far greater finger strength and trigger dexterity control.

But, once a person achieves that level of finger control, they can use a full auto trigger mode as either semi automatic, burst, or single shot, doesn’t really matter because the finger controls the shots by time and pressure on the trigger.

Burst and single shot automatic is easier for lower level marksmen. Or those who have sufficient time to check the scope, wind, and firing mode. For people who are fighting at 20 meters, 50 meters, then 250 meters, full auto allows them to automatically adapt to any scenario or any range, without wasting time with trigger modes.

Agree with Oldflyer: There can be no doubt perp was using a fully-automatic rifle. …
I understand that AR-15 trigger mechanisms can be readily modified to convert to fully automatic from what is comfortably called “semi-automatic”, but that conversion is illegal. ‘

I suppose. I cannot tell what it is. The cyclic rate sounds a little slow for an M16/AR. … My guess, and it is only a guess then, would be an AK type either with full auto modification or using a “Hell Fire” attachment.”

It requires some level skill to convert a semiautomatic to full auto. Of course it is possible to convert many semiautomatics to full. Listening to the firing pattern does not convince me a full auto was used.”

Bump stock … apparently.

RIP for the dead, wishing recovery for the wounded/injured, and tears for the families and friends for all of the victims. And, I will not try to guess the motivations of the shooter.

BTW, I am a lifetime NRA member. Started shooting (22LR) at age 8, bought my own used 22LR at age 10 by clipping an ad from Field and Stream and buying a $19.98 money order. USPS delivered the rifle a couple of weeks later. No background checks or forms to fill out to be sent to ATF. Took the rifle and ammo to school once a month for after school marksmanship class; as did most farm boys and many a farm girl. It was considered at the time as perfectly normal.

The problem is not firearms. The problem is the change in culture. The “center can not hold”.

Is it because the killing was done in ones and twos? Or because it was mostly of young poor black men? Or because there’s strict gun control in Chicago? Or because it’s a 100% Democratic town?

They’re both terrible tragedies but one gets lots of press and the other is only a bit of local news each day. Maybe the attention span required to deal with Chicago is too long, and it’s not politically correct.

The modus operandi of these apparently disconnected shooting events are too datapoint connected. Some people online are even talking about false flag ops conducted by black ops units.

People are saying a weapon can be converted to automatic. Don’t you think that’s the most likely thing to have happened here?

The receiver or the trigger is what operates the automatic function. Thus some assembly rifles like AR 15s, can replace the receiver or the trigger, to be converted to single shot semi automatic, burst, or automatic.

I don’t create gun parts or operate them, so I kind of forgot about the details, including how many degrees Ak 47s recoil towards the left or right, vs the pull of other European or American automatic rifle actions.

There used to be something that required me to know those details, but it is no longer relevant. Might be useful when zig zagging against certain shooters that you know are firing on auto though.

I used to tell people that it was dangerous to go out to public events, protests, anywhere that there is a lot of people clustered together.

Why?

Because the problem of causing mass casualty events is generally manpower and getting enough critical mass together for one pressure cooker bomb or whatever firepower is available, to do enough damage.

To properly defend against attack A, the user must be able to simulate in his mind a proper attack A, before creating defense A.

Those people who can play both sides of the chess board, are often considered “paranoid”, although they are often far calmer and self disciplined than the panicky talking heads and normal civilians.
