By the looks of it the initial video shots of him entering the church, it doesn't appear he's totin' an assault rifle, but apparently whatever he was using was (sadly) effective.
"I said he was like 19 years old, he still didn't have a job, a driver's license or anything like that and he just stayed in his room a lot of the time"
Maybe, as I was thinking if it was something like a model 1911 .45, he'd need to be damn efficient with it to murder that many people (assuming it wasn't execution style). Doesn't matter anyway, as 9 people are dead regardless of what type of gun he used.Lots of Modern Warfare?
I've said it a million times, if someone wants to put forth "dumb redneck control" legislation, I'm all for it.from a Daily Beast article:
'John Mullins, who went to high school with Roof, told The Daily Beast that he remembers him as being “kind of wild.”
“He used drugs heavily a lot,” Mullins said. “It obviously harder than marijuana. He was like a pill popper, from what I understood. Like Xanax, and stuff like that.”
White Knoll High School had a mix of black and white students. Mullins says they occasionally mixed, and the school had “a lot of preps, a little bit of gang members, and a lot of outcasts.” But Roof wasn’t one of the outcasts, Mullins said.
Yet Roof did have a reputation for spouting racist messages.
“I never heard him say anything, but just he had that kind of Southern pride, I guess some would say. Strong conservative beliefs,” he said. “He made a lot of racist jokes, but you don’t really take them seriously like that. You don’t really think of it like that.”
But now, “the things he said were kind of not joking,” Mullins added.'
The place to 'blame' is evident and more than singular (only a moron would do that). Bowl cut probably didn't help.

Leland Yee pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering in federal court Wednesday, admitting that he “knowingly and intentionally agreed with another person” to take part in an enterprise and commit at least two offenses and affect state commerce.
Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, told U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer that he admitted his guilt and knew he could face a harsh sentence, which will be handed down on Oct. 21.
Assistant U.S. Atty. Susan Badger told the court that could include up to 20 years in prison, $250,000 in fines, possible restitution to victims, asset forfeiture and potential deportation if appropriate.....
Yee was indicted in March 2014 on charges of accepting $62,000 in campaign contributions in return for legislative favors and offering to arrange the sale of machine guns and shoulder-fired missiles to an undercover FBI agent posing as a mob figure.
Racketeering charges were added later, alleging that he attempted to extort campaign contributions from an NFL team owner and supporters of mixed martial arts....

Fascists. They wanna take yer gunzThe New Hampshire Department of Safety, Division of State Police just sent me a nice letter reminding me that my concealed carry permit needs to be renewed.
Can't top JBP's for having concealed carry in VT though. Gotta stop the Canadians from invading (2nd safest state in the nation behind Maine for assaults)?would it diminish the amount of smugness/joy you feel if it wasn't ?

NH is 5th safest. There's a rumor that pepper spray is a universal language understood nearly as well as bullets, it's not just for large Canadian bears. Unfortunately it doesn't kill children as well as bullets do.Note: New Hampshire is not Vermont. Vermont requires no permit. Canadian invasion is not an issue since it takes them a year to thaw after they arrive.
