You would be surprised. I have seen coil guys about this size do significant damage to thin wood boards or cardboard. Sure, it’s not going to do massive damage

Sure, it’s not going to do massive damage like a 7.62x51, but it’s still enough to seriously injure.
I think the larger question is proliferation and intent within a culture. For example, I’m of the opinion knives are a tool, but they can easily be used as a weapon. There’s a huge grey area between hobbies, tools, and weapons. I think it’s up to the collective groups to decide what’s appropriate.
- grapesodaaaaa 2y agoI’m just curious with the downvotes to better myself - where was I off base?
- GJim 2y agoAn increasing number of HN users are now lazily downvoting things they disagree with, simply because they can't be arsed composing a coherent rebuttle. This leads to unpopular ideas being buried, groupthink and a lack of intelligent discourse..... ....And yes, this IS leading to this place becoming more and more Reddit like (no, that isn't a tired cliché, no matter what the FAQs claim). Downvoting should be reserved for comments that detract from the conversation. Perhaps meta-moderation is needed to ensure this happens.
- grapesodaaaaa 2y agoI appreciate the input. I recognize that I had brought up some issues that are polarizing (the article itself was a hot topic). I personally put a lot of thought into and struggle with gun/weapon legislation. I very much enjoy hearing from others, and it has helped shape my opinion in this area over the years. You do bring up a good point. I can’t help but wonder if there’s a better metric for comment “rank” rather than a binary up/downvote.
