Sks in shooting

[u/Business_Working_703]

I hope it doesn't lead to an sks ban

[u/Nice-Background890]

Yeah you can see that fucker reload with a stripper clip in the video that gets posted around.

[u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 → u/Nice-Background890]

Hopefully this shows how ancient and slow the SKS is and blows a hole in Polys narrative.

[u/Barbarian_818 → u/Hot_Cheesecake_905]

Hah! Not a chance. This will only reinforce their desire to ban it as well. The only reason it's been spared hasn't been its age or lack of features. It's been it popularity with Indigenous hunters.

If I were poly the counterargument would be that he could've done even more damage with a detachable magazine capability that is easy and common to get on an SKS

[u/pewpewlepew → u/Nice-Background890]

Glad he's dead. RIP to the police officer... =

[u/harvardspook → u/Nice-Background890]

Unironically low capacity magazines saved lives in this case.

[u/XJD0 → u/harvardspook]

Yeah good thing the mass shooter decided to follow magazine restrictions

[u/pewpewlepew → u/XJD0]

Yeah surprising he didn't just get rid of the pin, but i don't expect much from dead idiots.

[u/harvardspook → u/XJD0]

Yup but also it was a fixed mag SKS so the real good thing is he had terrible choice of gun

[u/StalkerRigo → u/harvardspook]

I'm not so sure...

Generic news articles about crime, containing the word "gun, "weapon", etc., and not necessarily relatable to the context of this subreddit, may be removed. This isn't a gun crime subreddit.

[u/Jonthan93 → u/Nice-Background890]

Link?

[u/airchinapilot → u/Jonthan93]

The video being linked shows people dying. You can find it on X anyway, just not here.

[u/Jonthan93 → u/airchinapilot]

Gotcha. Yeah i don’t need that.

[u/Lumindan → u/Jonthan93]

Don't post it. You'll get the thread (and possibly sub) nuked.

[u/airchinapilot → u/Lumindan]

It's also a good way for a user posting it to get swept up by Reddit admins
