To everyone wondering why Obama and Clinton using the phrase "radical islamic terrorism" is such a silly no-win load of poo poo, Trump has spent the last five minutes of his speech playing grammar police, saying that Hillary only said "radical islamism" and Obama only said "radical islamics" because they're afraid to say the whole magic phrase.

Maybe it's like those sovcits. It's not enough to just say 'radical Islamic terrorism', you also need to capitalize the right letters to gain True Power over the terrorists and they won't be able to do evil anymore because it'll become illegal or something.

I could see the M1 garand being the hot new massacre weapon after the AR-Style semi auto is banned.
*Nearly double the velocity with a bigger round *Only 8 rounds, so it skirts under "High capacity" if we set that at 10. *Stripper clips I'd have said the Mini-14 but those are seen all the time with curvy magazines, so they trigger the "Assault weapon" reaction

MattD1zzl3 posted:I could see the M1 garand being the hot new massacre weapon after the AR-Style semi auto is banned. Yeah when I was younger I wanted one of those because the M1 is the only semi-auto US Service weapon it was legal to possess for a MA resident under 21 since it didn't have a detachable magazine. I had had designs on collecting historically significant firearms at that time.

An M1 Garand would be a much worse weapon for mass murder. It's heavy as gently caress, has much heavier recoil, the old-timey "en bloc" clips only hold 8 rounds, and it's easy to smash the gently caress out of your thumb while reloading if you're not careful. That's why the military moved away from massive .30 caliber battle rifles in the first place. They kick like mules, give you too few shots between reloads, and have more power than you really need if you just want to rapidly kill humans inside 300 yards. They're also harder to gain proficiency with than smaller, lighter assault rifles that don't kick nearly as hard.

I'm starting to worry that the GOP will replace Trump with another candidate who can bask in the glow of not being Trump. A month ago I wouldn't have thought it possible, but he's just been so, so, so very bad that I'm afraid they could get away with it.
