    Yes, I go every year since it's only about a 10 minute walk from my house. It's super small but there is great food and bouncy houses for the kids.

    Shooter was a Mexican hating white supremacist.

    I'm shocked.

    "Right is Might," first published in the late 1800's, has been described as a white supremacist text that promotes anarchy while vilifying Christianity. The book calls Jesus the "true Prince of Evil" and says that the natural order is a world at war in which the strong must vanquish the weak and white men must rule over those of color.

    It's sort of confusing, the link you have says he's italian - iranian. Other links just say he's white.

    Only agenda is to not have people shooting people, less guns that are only designed for war on the streets. Controversial I know.

    Ban assault rifles
    I need a license to operate a boat with a motor 10 hp and over. All guns should be license and renewed every few years.

    He bought the gun legally and in Nevada.

    All I read from the right immediately after was how California has the strictest gun laws and mass shooters don't obtain guns legally.

    I wonder if our "president" will make any effort to fix this issue. But since it was a hate crime against minorities, I doubt it. Just like he didn't make any effort to fix police profiling and brutality, or any other issue facing any minority.

    Pisses me off.

    Mexicans mixed with white people and White People Hating White Supremacists, to be more accurate. He complained about the Mestizos and White Twats at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.

    Appears to be Persian.

    It's technically not an assault rifle. It's more like a near assault rifle. It doesn't have the fully automatic feature of the true AR-15. I've disassembled an AR-15 and reassembled it back in 1968. People tell me it can be easily modified to include the automatic feature but I myself have no idea.

    Pardon me, it was similar to an AK-47 Russian assault rifle.

    I'm guessing the shooter was an angry man with aspbergers.

    Correct. SKS, not an assault rifle

    Don't know what SKS stands for.
    The police chief says he was armed with an AK-47 assault-type rifle. I believe that's different than the SKS.

    Next time you use the time machine could you reassemble it in 1889 and use it to kill baby Hitler?

    "AK 47 and SKS are both assault rifles, which have been widely used the world over. ... SKS was the first to be designed in 1945 and the AK 47 came later in 1947. When comparing the two assault rifles, while both are gas operated, the SKS is semi automatic. The SKS comes with wooden stock, short gas piston and tilting bolt."

    Why didn't you say so sooner? It works fine going forward but I've got a blown vacuum tube and I can't go back too far, at least not until I get off my lazy ass and fix it. Sometimes I just spit on it and give it a good shake while cussing it out in a very loud voice and it works.

    I looked it up and know part of what you say but I was just wondering how it could be confused with the AK-47 that the chief of police identified.
