Muslims are allowed to eat haram if they would otherwise starve, this kind of nitpicking is very elucidatory. Like, would you rather less food be delivered, or delivered with more delay, just to ensure it sticks to rules which are not even applicable to this scenario?
Using speech patterns of libs that was obsolescent even in 2016 just highlights how infrequently you legitimately consider differing thought and is a great signifier to others that you really have nothing to offer except the surface level catchphrases you use to reinforce your beliefs to yourself.
I mean, yeah, many celestial bodies take their names from Latin. Like how the proper name of the sun is Sol, which matches solar, the lunar object would be called Luna. Selene feels like a retronym to match other Greek deities, and would be like renaming Earth to Gaia
either of those options is a fair pick given their oldness
Luna would definitely rank over Selene in the Western astronomical tradition. As you say, its name is just The Moon, which is what Luna means in many current day Latin derived languages
it’s like you only read half of the comment and raced to post this reply…
Nice ad hominem, thank you for putting your poor faith on display right away, but no, I was merely just addressing the points as presented.
the reason why you need more than 5 rifle rounds, IS NOT about stopping power
So why did they say the rifle needed more than the handgun?
It’s about giving you more than enough chances to land hits
So the numbers should be the same then, no?
Precise shooting in a stressful environment is really fucking hard, your heart is hammering your hands are shaking, you realize this could be the end. All of these factors heavily affect shooting ability in the moment.
Which is dangerous for anyone nearby.
you are making a lot of assumptions here, like assuming it’s home defense shooting 556 or the like
Seems like you're the one making assumptions, champ, all I implied is higher caliber, because I don't think people often refer to .22 carbines as rifles.
What happens when you’re out in the wilderness and end up in a face off with a bear or a cougar? There are so many complex settings and situations and here you are framing the conversation as if this only applies to defending your bedroom or hallway.
Okay, so how many shots do you think you need for a bear, or for a cougar? Because even if you're squeezing your trigger as fast as possible, a cougar is gonna be able to finish you before you finish your 30 round mag.
Not every home defenser has 5.56 or .300blk. Plenty of “assault weapons” that shoot pistol calibers
oh cute, a nice little strawman to finish with, almost needed a reminder that you were a bad faith actor. Didn't say anything about assault weapons though, scare quotes were cute though, definitely keep that up.
If the goal is to stop someone in 5 seconds, why would you need more rounds for the higher caliber rifle? Seems like 5 rifle rounds and 12-15 pistol rounds would be enough stopping power.
But if your argument is more chances to hit, well then you're just advocating for more rounds going somewhere other than there target, and 30 (high caliber rifle) rounds is certainly too much to fire out your walls willy nilly.
