  • Honestly true. I just think he's a moron so I discount much of what he says.

    Also I looked up the statement about most guns being legal. Based on data from his own agency its 54%. While that is technically the majority, thats a coin flip. "Virtually all" in my books is 70% or higher.

  • "Most capable of killing" doesn't mean anything though. A bullet is a bullet is a bullet. What gun its fired out of doesn't really matter when its against soft targets. 9mm 5.56 and 7.62 are all the same lethality.

    Edit: Also comparing the use case of gangers and even school shooters with soldiers is foolish. The main benefits of a rifle (in war) are range, stability and higher cyclic rate. Virtually all rifles are semi automatic so cyclic rate doesn't matter. And at the range pretty much all school shootings take place in, pistol vs rifle doesn't matter. Stability is also largely irrelevant based on distance and the fact that unarmed civilians dont shoot back.

    All this to say, 91% of school shootings are perpetrated with pistols. So this hyperfixation on "assault rifles" is silly. I say again, you've been lied to.

  • There is nothing wrong with drinking distilled water except it'll taste bad.

  • I doubt it If they cant get an ar they'll just go get a black market pistol for $100. And besides, the way to curb school shootings isn't through firearm restrictions. It's through actual proper mental health programs and funding. Something that the US government refuses to fund because it'll actually fix the problem instead of just being a feel good gesture.

  • Okay except most rifles, including AK47's AR15's and M16's are semi automatic only so they aren't selective fire. And if we ignore that requirement and go with the the other two requirements it means that .22lr hunting rifles with a box mag count as "assault rifles"

    Pistols are still the deadliest type of guns no matter what metric you use.

    The head of the ATF is also responsible for operation fast and furious. Not to mention that is a nothing statement when you think about it. Of course they start off as legal firearms. Gun traffickers are "legally" buying these weapons overseas end mass from firearm companies and warlords or they're being stolen from legal gun owners.

  • They were. They were horrific tragedies. They are also the outlier of outliers. And any legislation targeting them is either a) going to have zero effect on crime, b) only going to harm law abiding citizens or C) both

  • Automatic weapons for the most part are already illegal, assault rifle isn't a term that actually means anything and neither does military grade. In fact only 3% of gun deaths in the states are from rifles. The real issue is the illegal gun market and the endless supply of hi-points and other pistols.

    You've been lied to.

  • What exactly are you looking for? Is hosted games a studio?

  • Its best you actually find an info dump on the situation as it's not really something that can be tldr'd

  • What's JSTOR

  • The internet is filled with a lot of extremists. Nuanced thinking is in short supply here.

  • Its absolutely incredible IMO. Was hoping you had to compare it. Guess I'll just have for ead other land and decide for myself. What a shame lol.

  • Before the current itteration of my homelab I used Ubuntu. Never used snap tho.

  • Har har ur mum

  • Mono you dont understand. He was the dumbest man alive until he died. Not the dumbest man of all time.

  • Man comes across a joke for the first time

  • Well this was the dumbest man alive.
