No, there's been three bombings that all appear related. Two people were killed and the third is in bad shape.

LOL


White House officials said Tillerson found out on Friday that he would be fired, according to the Associated Press.

But in a statement on Tuesday, Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein said, "The Secretary had every intention of staying because of the critical progress made in national security. He will miss his colleagues at the the Department of State and the foreign ministers he has worked with throughout the world."

"The Secretary did not speak to the President and is unaware of the reason, but he is grateful for the opportunity to serve, and still believes strongly that public service is a noble calling," Goldstein said.

Shortly after making the statement, Goldstein was fired by the Trump administration for contradicting the White House's account of Tillerson's firing, NBC News reported.

I blame his predecessors "soft on bombs" policy like when he invited that clock kid from Dallas to the White House. Thanks Obama!

As far as the Austin bombings go, it seems like its just totally a non news story outside of Austin. There's no mention of it at a glance on CNN or even newspapers here in other markets in Texas like the Houston Chronicle or the Dallas Morning News as an ongoing thing.

Isn't "hard glance" and oxymoron?

Obviously there are news articles about it if you already know about it and search specifically for that, numskull.

But if you go to the web looking to see what the hell is going on in the world today, it's not a top story (except at the AAS as you can see in my link, which is not to an article but to a HOMEPAGE for a news organization). It doesn't seem to be the kind of news that people (the media?) give a fuck about, much less to have Trump say something about it. My guess is that if these people had been mowed down with a long rifle, it'd be all over the place though.

It was on the front page of this morning's paper WSJ that we got at the office, so I guess its all already old news at this point?

I guess it's not interesting to them long term unless they have some shit to talk about. So I guess it wont come back up till we know who to blame (or maybe not even then if its like the Las Vegas thing, anybody ever get a motive for that one? There were even big scary guns and everything?)

I intentionally spelled it that way. I assumed it would be hedge that tried to comment on it though. It is technically correct either way.

How many AR 15 owners could a well-made bumb take out around a gun show?

depends on what the bomber looks like. Not too many A-rab lookin fellows hopping around a gun show


guns shows don't actually get the serious buys anymore - mostly craft tables, beef jerky and the same gun shop owner wannabe dragging around the same overpriced guns hoping to find a sucker.

gunbroker and armslist is where you find guns nowadays.

and Bud's gun shop - the best gun shop around.
