Nope, didn't happen. I worked FT in very friendly and hospitable suburban libraries. Never a problem with disruptive patrons. I couldn't wait to get to work each day, and was sad I had to leave at the end of my shift.

People love their public libraries. I bet you don't have a library card. Have you ever been in a public library?

So you were in a nice, cozy, safe, suburban environment? That explains a lot of things. Still, you enforced some moral values. You expected your employees to treat people properly. You filtered your internet. You didn't allow patrons to just walk out with books. Even in your Garden of Eden, you had standards that you enforced. Everyone does.

Believe it or not, my family and I were once named Library Patrons of the Year at our local library. I had a card for many years and used the library a lot when I was teaching.

It would be nice to hear you, just once, acknowledge that you had something wrong. You plainly had bad information on the whole semi-auto gun issue. This would be a good time to acknowledge it. Hopefully you won't be posting comments like these again which, as has been clearly demonstrated, was flat wrong. "Tom, assault rifles do not function the same. Assault rifes shoot out bullets how? Hunting rifles shoot out bullets how? Big difference! Physical appearance has nothing to do with it." Well, uhm, as it turned out, appearance had a LOT to do with it.

of course they are the same . Remington ,Winchester ,Ruger ,Browning all make AR model hunting rifles .

When you pull the trigger on an assault rifle, what happens?

Tom, what about AR-47s? Was the Uvalde shooter carrying a hunting rifle? Why didn't he use that instead or a .22?

The big differences between that and the AR 15 is the AR 15 is lighter weight and has a higher rate of accuracy The AR47 is for a different calber of ammo. The AR47 is cheaper both rifles are made for hunting and defense use .
btw AR stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.”

Thank you, Tom!

would the anti-gun crowd be satified with anything less than a ban as many prominent progressives have argued for this week ? My guess is no. New regulations become the new starting point for a series of new restrictions .

Purchasing a car requires NO backround check or waiting period as most gun purchases . Someone could be a criminal ,arrested ,serve time then released and purchase a car the next day . Any car can be stolen and used in an illegal act just like a gun. In fact it is easier to do so.

More later

Shooting a Full Auto Polytech AK-47

---

If you had read the title of the Youtube video, you would have read that the gun was fully automatic and not semi. Those rifles were imported from China and are, I imagine, Chinese clones of the Russian AK-47 which really is an assault rifle. So when you pull the trigger on a genuine, military assault rifle, if it is set for auto, then it fires until you release the trigger. But for the umpteenth time, the AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle and is NOT full auto. You pull the trigger, and one round fires.

The AR-47 is basically an AR-15 rechambered to handle the 7.62mm Russian round. The AR-15 typically uses the standard NATO round which is 5.56mm.

Oh, I read it. Just testing you and giving you something to growl about. Doncha love it when there's a reason to post?

Yeah. I'm sure that's what it is.

This is so appropriate that I must repost it. "It would be nice to hear you, just once, acknowledge that you had something wrong. You plainly had bad information on the whole semi-auto gun issue. This would be a good time to acknowledge it. Hopefully you won't be posting comments like these again which, as has been clearly demonstrated, was flat wrong.

Nope. I was testing you.

I am a librarian. I did thorough research before posting. Was hoping you would post a clear explanation.

Kept you busy!

You misspelled "rifle" as "rife". That kind of summed it up.

where a car and a gun are similar is that they are effective tools . Used properly they fulfil their purpose . Used incorrectly they are deadly instruments amounting to roughly the same number of deaths last year . (gun deaths include murder ,suicide and accidental discharge . ) No one uses the fallacy that cars are only good for killing and should be banned . No one says that if a drunk driver kills someone driving a Jeep that military style cars should be banned . It is understood that the killer was the drunk and not the car .

See how well I'm keeping you sharp!!! I must have corrected that typo, can't find it. Thank goodnes you never make any!

Post 63. That's one reason I like to copy your posts. Helps avoid the "can't find it" syndrome.

After the whopper you told two weeks ago, your credibility is shot. And today hasn't helped your cause a bit.

Then I'm gone. Goodbye. P.S. #63 is Tom's post. Ask God for forgiveness.

It's a post with your "can't find it" post copied in it. I copied it in post 52. No forgiveness needed.

Rather than pulling up stakes and leaving, why not try being more careful and truthful? We are all prone to tell whoppers if we are not careful. You were caught and, in fact, you admitted it, so why not just "woman up", admit it, and move forward? Wouldn't that be the honorable thing to do? I'm just at a loss to understand pulling out because of your own issues. And I'm really not trying to point fingers, but your lack of candor becomes irritating after a while. Just being honest about it.

#63, now #52. I said "can't find it" because we're allowed by AMHD for so many hours to edit our posts. I'm on a Kindle, type with my left pointer finger, read my published post, correct any typos, then republish.

If you stick to the discussion on the table without adding pejorative comments, I'll behave too and give it another try.

I'm revising a previous comment to now read

When seconds count the cops are an hour away .

Border Patrol Agents Defied Uvalde Police Orders to Remain Outside School (msn.com)

The Border Patrol agents who killed the school shooter in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday entered the school on their own accord after local law enforcement requested that they hold back, two senior federal law enforcement sources told NBC News on Friday.
