And the gun was developed to defeat bulletproof vests. Originally created for a NATO contract so that officers and support personnel could protect themselves against Soviet troops with body armor.
If Hassan & this guy had both used Glock's like the Tucson shooter and many police departments, it would have been no big deal.
It's still no big deal... you don't have anything Fred... I have the same type of luger that Hitler owned... according to your logic that possibly makes me a... ?
There were hundreds of thousands of Lugers made over decades of production.
But if you had a group of White Aryan Resistance members all armed with Lugers, I am betting a connection to Hitler.

Yeah and 50 miles away from where the Trayvon was shot a WHITE police officer was shot by a BLACK man the same night,,, Hmm not news worthy no outrage.
Yes,,, was it reported, only locally ,,, was it racial? Yes
White kid set on fire,,, was it racial, hell yes.
So why the Bulls5t over Trayvon. It happens daily, will continue to happen, we have gone back 45 years in the race thing since BO took office. DUH wonder why...
The difference is that in the case you present, there was an arrest and most likely a through investigation. In the Martin case there wasn't. They didn't even drug/alcohol test Zimmerman or do a background check on him like they did with Martin.
The outrage is because people want to be sure that the authorities are doing their job investigating these situation completely so that no one has to worry whether there was anything that slipped through the cracks.
If someone killed your child, wouldn't you want a complete investigation to know the truth about what happened? Wouldn't you want someone who killed your child to be drug/alcohol tested?
It sounds like you are okay with it happening everyday. Some of the rest of us are not. That's why there's outrage.

The outrage is feigned. Where's the outrage when a black kills a black? Where's the outrage the New Back Panthers offer a regard for the capture, dead or alive, of an American Citizen? Where's the outrage when those black kids set that white kid on fire? We'll talk outrage when I actually see some from the left about issues that are just as tragic as this Trayvon killing. In the mean time, it's just more divisiveness and race baiting from the Alinsky zombies.
