Luckily, though, it's clearly an official Foot Locker Nike pistol, so false alarm

I'm not confident your interest is genuine, as your incredulity seems intent on maligning gun owners, but giving you the benefit of the doubt and for the edification of lemmy readers:

while carrying a gun at the front of your torso does generally provide slightly quicker drawing speed on trained individuals and all things being equal, the "level of quick access" is not usually the reason to prefer this style of carry. Rather, many that choose "appendix" carry tend to do so for ergonomics and comfort.

Also, "the gun itself is not quick access" is a misapprehension on your part; every feature I listed that you replied to, other than leaving the chamber empty, does not add any time to the deployment of the gun.

And if you are genuinely curious, you may be interested to know that because modern firearms are so incredibly safe (like modern cars - its the people using them that make them unsafe, unlike the guns and cars of the past which were much more inherently unsafe in design), leaving the chamber empty is usually not necessary or practiced.

They say that 50 years or so ago a method of drawing a pistol with an empty chamber and chambering a round in the same motion was made procedure by the IDF, as their weapons were coming from many disparate sources and shouldn't be trusted to have functional firing pin safeties, etc., so they were trained to carry them with an empty chamber. Nowadays, carrying, drawing, and charging a pistol on an empty chamber is known as "Israeli carry" or "Israeli draw."

Passive and active safeties, a trigger guard, a stiff trigger, and, for some, not having a round in the chamber.

Reference

But I've read they have since mitigated the traceability of their pizza eating through various means.

Yes, and I feel like the Republicans as you describe them would aptly be called "creepy."

And I think "cringe" is often a feeling of second-hand embarrassment.

"Weird" and "strange" are more general and synonymous with "unusual" and "peculiar."

None of that is in disagreement with your take, though

For real tho

Shamming

Ah ok, I get you, then. I didn't downvote your comment.

Guns are tools. And what's more, "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

What do you mean, it was an AR-15. I don't support a ban, just clarifying facts.

Wym?

If you're curious about the downvotes, I would consider that it appears you thought you were "asking," when what your comment does is issue a command. With no other context to understand from where you are coming.

These free-to-play are always pay-to- win

Extract to where, tho
