That is not irony.

It would be ironic if he majored in Gun control and Safety Measures or some shit. Or if he was receiving mental help at the time.

^Find a mental health professional not receiving mental help and I might agree with you.

Or do you not think this idiot is a nutcase (perhaps not enough to save from a firing squad, but loony nonetheless) ?

I think it's a product of a system that takes contracts on life-saving equipment from the lowest bidder.

[QUOTE=s2kPA,Nov 6 2009, 12:56 AM] Here, lets study the “heady” issue for you.

Sgt Hasan Akbar-convicted of throwing a grenade into a tent filled with fellow soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division, killing two officers and wounding 14 more servicemen.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan-Army officer identified by authorities as the man who killed 12 and wounded 31 in a shooting spree at Fort Hood

If I am not mistaken the pistols he used were the F & N 5 seven. This is like a miniature rifle round for a pistol. Able to penetrate armored vest. 20 rnd mags standard.

I've shot this gun many times and it literally sounds like a rifle with minimal recoil. I need to get one because I am sure they will outlaw them now.

Well, since you're bringing up Arabic-sounding names, here are a couple more:

- Captain Mir Ali, 3d Special Forces Group, awarded the Bronze Star with "V" device, Afghanistan 2005

- Sergeant First Class Ismael Iban, 2d Infantry Division, awarded the Silver Star, Iraq 2007

And let's not forget Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Michael Monsoor, awarded the Medal Of Honor, Iraq 2006.

So what's your point?
Thank You!
