Hell, a shotgun can do far more damage, besides "machine guns" are against the law.

LMAO! :lol:

No, They can't. If they could, more infantrymen in WWII would have been armed with shotguns and fewer with machineguns. The U.S., English, Germans and Russians all developed and used different sorts of fully automatic weapons.

They are against the law now. I believe that happened during Rosa Parks adult lifetime.

In other words, Donald Trump's message is so insulting to Mexicans that it made it okay to make a video of Mexican children saying 'Fuck You' to him and anyone who agrees with him.

Is that how you eradicate ignorance and racism? The "I know you are but what am I?" argument isn't the most effective method, in my opinion.

Most people understand that the way to change public opinion on any issue is to try to get people to understand your point of view so they might sympathize with your cause. All this video accomplishes is to insult the people they should be reaching out to for change and encourages children to mimic the kids in the video.

If you want to see an example of how effective the video is, read the comments section below the video on YouTube.

And that is your method for determining the truth. Racist internet comments? You should have studied harder in school.


Those kids are more intelligent than to think they will change the opinions of people like you.

Encouraging small children to make rude gestures or engage in vulgar language is never justified...

Even with a target as rude and vulgar as Trump...
Agreed. That just (further) legitimizes rudeness and vulgarity, and doesn't change anyone's opinion (of Trump *OR* of Mexicans). Don't sink to his level.

No, that would be pedophilia...

You have a very strong talent for misunderstanding.







It's comforting to know that you are also ashamed of what you and I have written, Econoline...

9mm ammo weighs a lot less than 00 buckshot, kinda important when you are on the move.

No kidding!

I didn't know that! :nana

"Machine guns" (whatever the hell that means) have been illegal since 1937. Well before Rosa Parks refused to ride in the back of the bus.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Not entirely; under federal law, it is still entirely legal for private citizens to own certain types of fully automatic weapons which were manufactured before 1968 (as I recall) and previously privately owned. State laws may curtail this in some areas. A few years back I researched this for a client who wanted to buy an operational Gattling gun, and it was legal for him to do so with a background check and an ATF permit.
