Yes, I get that you're focused on something different than me. The article is shit. Whether or not you agree with the premise is irrelevant to my comments. Whether or not I can make up for the fact that the article is shit by "doing my own research" is irrelevant to my comment.
You seem very concerned with my well being.
My point was made. You're the one attempting to refute it and failing because you're trying to make it about something else.
The problem with categories like that is that you deny the underlying issues, which makes those issues repeat.
This article would be so much better just by including the gun shop owner giving a metric of their sales increase....but it fails to even take that simple step.
It's not and neither is Bing. I don't think they are anyone's friend at this point. The quality of search results has plummeted dramatically since 2009.
I would like to see that too but the question is whether the gun shop owner will give them that figure. Given the heavy regulatory scrutiny they face anyway, they may shy away from ever stating any kind of figure.
Lmao, of course......that must be it. ¯\(°_o)/¯
It's a shit article.
Guns don't make peace. They aren't designed for that. I don't mind people having them, I mind irresponsible people having them.
I would rather we just purged the irresponsible people. If they can kill with a gun, they will with a car, poison, knife, rock, penis, etc.
They can kill much easier with guns.
I don't agree. The formulation of the intent is where the error occurs. If more people have guns, the malefactors are less able to act without getting stopped.
You're allowed to be wrong.
I think you personally need to get an M14. It will change your view of the world. Don't get an AR, they're trash guns, and AKs are alright if you are aiming at a barn from 300m but otherwise useless. Step up to flavor country, or something. When you are holding that fine rifle in your hands, your view of the world will change. Suddenly your choices will be a lot heavier. It's part of the intellectual maturation process, to hold the lives of others in your hands arbitrarily, in my view.
No worries...I don't judge people for their kinks.
AK's are useless? Dude you just lost any credibility you may have pretended to have. The AK is the most widely mass produced rifle in history and has been used in almost every conflict since Viet Nam. No it is not a tack driver like so many other military weapons, but for its intended purpose, lots of firepower, it works perfectly.
Anecdotes coming from you mean absolutely nothing.
It's good to see that others see how 5.56mm shooters are basically fetishists. When you get your M14, I gotta break with tradition and recommend the plastic stocks over the woodstocks, but get a heavy one. Too light and the gun starts to levitate.
I may have been trolling a little bit, which is why I carefully insulted both sides in the AR-vs-AK debate which is as overplayed as the PC-vs-Mac debate online.
I'd rather have a "useless" AK in a desperate situation than an M-16 clone that has to be kept clean to function.
There is a reason society moved away from vigilantism. But hey, you're free to believe anything you wish.
The ol' false dichotomy raises its head yet again. Self-defense is not vigilantism. Nor is shooting someone doing something stupid in your presence.
