I have some bullets marked "not suitable for hunting". Like, the manufacturer is actually saying "no guys these are not meant for shooting animals, they will do a bad job, they were designed for targets and that's it".



How can this be??

Probably some kind of manufacturing error. Guns are only allowed to kill people and that is final!!!!!.

There isn't anything to argue. The "solutions" are completely uninteresting and trivial. The implementation is impossible because "gun control" is just code for banning them all so anything that doesn't do that, isn't of any interest to the people "just asking questions" about gun control.

It's pretty damned fun.

What sort of WWII era milsurp we talking? Because that does sound fun.

Also I own a dart gun it's pretty cool but I gotta be honest I don't actually think it would be very good at killing people. Hurting them, yeah, but killing would probably be pretty tough. Possible, though!

If you want to keep that up, you should probably work a little bit harder to mask your sneering contempt of black Americans.

Why on earth you imagine your personal second-hand opinion as to what black people think about gun control is somehow more reliable than what black people actually think about gun control, I can't imagine. Feel free to educate yourself.

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Do you walk around with a gun with a round chambered because you believe you will not have time to work the slide when you need to use the gun, or because you believe you may need the additional round?

Hello fellow cheese. It's the former, but the latter never hurts. You should only carry a gun with a quality holster that protects the trigger from being accidentally pulled. Carrying a loaded gun without a holster is a very bad idea.

One less thing to think about when you are under stress and have more important details to pay attention to. Like identifying your target, making certain nothing behind it is in danger if you misd or it passes through the target. Oh, and because carrying without one in the chamber is asinine.

Edit: also because real life is not a movie, where people rack slides for dramatic effect.

Yes. It is also how I was trained to carry in the CCW class that I took to get my permit. Also, my wife carries a revolver which basically always has a round chambered.

For most people who own guns it's a tool as part of a hobby, target shooting/plinking, hunting, w/e. Ironically for people who Don't own guns, guns are a lifestyle.

For me it is less of a hobby and more of a spiritual affirmation.

Are people actually asking for a full ban? That'd be dumb.

I know poo poo all about cars, but I can still confidently say there needs to be a way to make sure people driving actually know how to drive and are capable of doing so safely. I'm sure without those controls a lot of people would still learn how to drive properly and be responsible about it, but it's best for society as a whole if we make sure that's really the case.

I also know poo poo all about weapons, but I do know the way things are now in the US criminals and crazy people can very easily get their hands on one, so you guys should try to do something about that. This doesn't mean banning guns, not even their use for self-defense, but it does mean some kind of control. You might even call it gun control.

Wait what if we have a total prohibition on being crazy that could stop other problems too.
