  • There's certainly an argument to be made that we'd be seeing much more innovation and availability if not for the sheer SOT sandbagging.

    It continues to blow my mind that basic hearing protection is somehow restricted especially when the countries the restrict/ban crowd loves comparing the US to generally consider suppressors to be essential equipment because of the sound reduction.

  • Yeah... no. You're being disingenuous as fuck, perhaps unintentionally.

    Their statement was I’m not seeing a ton of these mass shootings committed by the ultra wealthy, where are you seeing that? You provided a single reference to an outlier - seemingly aware it's an outlier e.g. calling-out deadliest.

    It's hard to see how a single data-point - an outlier, at that - is somehow the requested data let alone ton of.

  • It is very much different in my state; my understanding is that such restrictions are only prevalent in states which are already overly-restrictive on such matters.

    Iowa's general restrictions are effectively that the caliber must be between .350 and .500 caliber barring the special population management season which additionally allows .223/5.56x45mm. That's it.

    The hunting season may come with additional restrictions, but they're generally of the "primitive" aka bow/muzzle-loader, "long-gun", etc. categories.

  • Also clear is that “bearing arms” was strictly a military connotation.

    Was it? Duke's analysis of the history seems to disagree with you and your baseless claim. Interestingly enough, this is in-line with the opinion in this exact recent ruling.

    But hey since you’re ignoring history and rewriting to serve your ammo sexuality, might as well rewrite all of it.

    You seem to be the one rewriting history, friend.

    That said... lol. That you can't discuss a thing you dislike without seeking to disparage others - e.g. ammo sexual - highlights the worth of your contributions. Why don't you try an actual argument, next time?

  • Ah, I see hunting for food is now bloodlust. Completely rational take.

  • Waa waa waa…grow up.

    Yikes, the projection.

    Y’all can’t figure out if guns are a hobby or a necessity, but you seem to always fall back on both points pretty quickly.

    Oh? I'm not sure how you interpreted their highlight of the sheer commonality of those legally carrying with no issue as either of these things.

    It’s sad that your “interests” seem to threaten our very existence, yet you feel like you have some inalienable right to kill others.

    I'm not sure how you feel threatened by the mere existence of inanimate objects. Even extrapolating to the action - that of homicide - I'm not sure how you'd feel threatened by such a thing, especially so disproportionately to its lack of prevalence related to the other ways you can be killed and their statistical likelihood.

    I'm also not sure how you interpret the right to bear arms - repeatedly highlighted for self-defense purposes in judgements and judge opinions - as somehow an inalienable right to kill others. Unless I'm missing something, that kill others part tends to result in the offender spending quite some time in prison.

    It’s extremely sad and disappointing. I suggest you grow up and find other ways to entertain yourself.

    You may wish to take your own advice - you seem unable to think beyond your own preconceived and irrational views on a thing, even aside from your demonstrated inability to consider how your criticisms and suggestions might apply to yourself rather hypocritically.

  • I'm not sure anyone - anyone - would argue police are "good guys". If anything, they're an active demonstration that those in power cannot be the only ones with firearms given the extent to which they maliciously misuse that power.

    But sure - use the incompetence and cowardice of a given police department as some absurd emotional appeal.

  • It's like they've learned nothing from the attempted-privilege-making-poor tax that is the NFA.

  • And those people get arrested.

    Interestingly enough, so do those committing crimes with firearms.

  • He complains openly, unable to cope with seeing how things are.

    I'm not sure how highlighting a problematic shift in discourse and contained cope or expressing incredulity at the shift is, somehow, an inability to cope with seeing how things are - if anything, it would be quite specifically seeing how things are and beginning discourse about how things are.

    But hey - don't let that get in the way of an attempted dunk.

  • I do believe the timing of the new accounts is an able indicator.

    do not assume anyone’s political leaning just because they’re against every Joe Schmoe packing heat

    It's generally more an assessment of the talking point used and coherence of the argument - you seem to be doing some assuming yourself.

  • Oh, wow - I'll have to let my hunting group know our AR-15s chambered in .350 Legend complete with standard magazines just aren't any good for deer because this rando on the Internet said so.

  • No, as knee-jerk reactions to a single facet of an outlier event are absurd.

    As an comparison, your highlight of child porn is due to the actual harm of actual abuse - the thing is banned because it cannot exist without traumatizing and abusing children. Your highlight of an outlier shooting is really the highlight of the potential harm of a future event - the thing might maybe be used for harm.

    Most of us don't live our lives in terror of inanimate objects or overrepresented and oversensationalized events.

  • The incredible liberal skew to r/Politics has migrated from Reddit and it shows.

    So much sheer irrational cope in here it's amazing.

  • I wish you the best of luck with that. Poor taxes were the strategy behind the NFA - its incredible unpopularity guarantees it won't make it through either branch of Congress let alone both.

  • The judgement highlights how they're considered bearable arms therefore protected.
