Oh Snapple! posted:it is extremely important to me to believe that an exceptionally privileged white person is a good person at heart I think the extreme privilege is a big part of this. I don't think Chelsea Clinton was setting out to place a controversial inter-party marker. She usually pops up to say what's already been said in a slightly-nicer and slightly-more-condescending way to demonstrate that 1) she still here (in case anyone's looking to fund a candidate) and 2) taking the high road you guys. She runs in circles of the Democratic party and cross-party social bipartisanship where AIPAC=Judaism. 1glitch0 posted:What if we put Chelsea Clinton and Meghan McCain in a room together to have a lively televised debate, then lock the door, forget to turn the camera on, and we all forget to unlock the door. This works as a comeuppance because they'd spend the first three hours agreeing on everything and thinking they've shown the world how center-right works for everyone only to find out the truth.

Syfe posted:I find it galling that governments around the world still continue to allow the sale/use training of weapons which have one design, to kill other people. Most people that have a ton of ARs do use them. They shoot them all the time, whether it be at the range or on their own land. I understand your point is 'these are made for killing people' but a lot of gun owners see that as a worst case scenario and find it fun to target shoot. Obviously this isnt an excuse for semi auto rifles to be available for sale or exist in any capacity, but to say they arent used is kind of disingenuous.

This is not a feature only the rich possess. All classes do it. Hell you can even watch poo poo like this happen right here on the forums. In this very thread even...they usually earn probes

Crabtree posted:What are the odds Daughter of Clinton falls backwards into being a Fox personality in several years? Zero? She's got plenty of other options in that circus. Chelsea was overly critical of Omar and definitely reached conspiracy theory levels in lyrical analysis searching for antisemitic dog whistles when doubling down on her position, but she's still in a different league as a human in comparison to the rot that festers in FOXNEWS.

Her only plausible motivation is pure selfishness and that alone makes her vile and worthy of scorn. if people know who you are, you can't show up at things or you're doing it for the attention, nothing else is possible You wouldn't even know about it if she hadn't been confronted.

But I'll admit I don't delve too deep personally into the hobby to know how safe that one is from some level of mental illness. But honestly, once you start getting into bigger and more complex weapons and peripherals, where more and more it divorces from handguns at the range to just weapons testing and training. This doubles down with other things in our culture as well that I think perpetuate the illusions of grandeur with killing sprees. But I still feel like, with an AR, with something more, you're not hobbying anymore. You don't buy a gun that can kill x people a minute to shoot at the range for funzies, and even if people do just quietly enjoy them, the amount of ticking time bombs it creates to allow the private sale of those weapons in your culture, is just not worth it. (unless it's a conservative politician of course, where their illusion of grandeur seems to be controlling those mentally ill masses) Syfe fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Mar 16, 2019 |

The thing with a lot of hobbies is the deeper you go and more into it you are the more complex or esoteric it becomes. This is true whether you collect video games (hey guys anyone ever see a spectrum before?/check out my monster rig with crossfire graphics cards) or guns (hey guys check out all this tacticool poo poo I have on my AR/look at this mini14 I have from vietnam). I know this sounds absolutely insane if you're from a country with actual gun laws, and that's because it is. I dont disagree with you. My position is melt them all down but I have to play by the rules we currently have, so maybe we could start curbstomping anything that can chamber more then 5 rounds because who the gently caress needs a 20 round magazine unless you're doing a mass shooting?

Besesoth posted:Many people do. You seem to have just sort of decided how people interact with guns, without actually having any experience with gun owners. Oh I've definitely interacted with gun owners before, mainly hunting, who seem to be hunting specific, but mostly sane. The people who I've met who don't hunt but own guns, have all been generally a little unhinged. One guy in my classes when I was in journalism, literally only wrote think peices about guns, tied guns into all his stories, his laptop background was like a different gun every week. My experience is that currently I have not seen his name in the news, but that doesn't mean that I don't think that dude was a bit unhinged and has the potential just based on his obsession to be one of the random number generator countdown that just cracks. It's just not worth it. But that's why I didn't bother bringing up ancedotal evidence into my argument. Bias, perhaps. But, my bias is that it isn't necessary in society, it seems like the normalization of a hobby that shouldn't be.

Beep boop why fun to blast poo poo? OF COURSE exploding inanimate objects with guns is fun, and the bigger and crazier the better. See action movies and video games for details. That doesn't justify lax gun laws AT ALL, because moronic fun potential doesn't trump public safety. Destroying poo poo with C4 is probably a hoot too, but Wal-Mart doesn't need to be selling that poo poo either.

I know this sounds absolutely insane if you're from a country with actual gun laws, and that's because it is. Yeah gun ownership has normalized a ton of really bizarre stuff where it is just normal and basically expected for most ~gun enthusiasts~ to have 10+ guns and a closet with like 5000+ rounds of ammunition and that doesn't strike most people as especially remarkable. It's entirely politically untenable, but imo gun ownership, if even allowed, should be for one or two guns at most. Also regulate the gently caress out of ammunition, people shouldn't be stockpiling 1000+ rounds (and yeah I know how much ammo you can go through in an afternoon of shooting ARs, imo the ubiquity of ARs has normalized a lot of the weirder poo poo in gun culture). Personally, and i say this as a gun owner, I'd be fine with extremely limited amounts of ammo being allowed to be kept at home and all other ammo should be bought at a range where it will be kept/used. Even in some fantasy ~defending mah family~ bullshit scenario, no one is using more than 5 or 10 shotgun shells or having to reload a handgun (probably even once, much less more than once).

IMO regulations around guns should account for the needs of rural folks, but some dude in NYC 1000% does not need a loving arsenal
