There is one side of the political spectrum that feels that the penalty for a crime should be set irrespective of the perpetrator because that's fair. Two people that commit the same infraction pay the same absolute amount. There is an

If I had to guess I'd say less trolling and more "my chosen political faction doesn't like guns and therefore there is nothing any human being on earth could say that would make me think they're okay, or even morally neu

Pretty much everything out of Giffords is a complete lie[0], for some context. I'm sure there are gun control advocacy groups not as blatant as they are but that's the one I'm most familiar with, in part because they're

At this point the only people defending Sig are people getting paid by Sig, or people trying to get paid by Sig.

I agree with you. The problem is people use these objective facts (none of which are in dispute so far as I know) to make completely asinine arguments like "just make some guns illegal" or "just take away everyone's guns

I'm not making a philosophical point. The earlier comment is "I updated a new script and it summarized it," I was simply saying the odds of that script actually being new is very slim. Even though obviously that script or s

I'm not as cynical as others about LLMs but it's extremely unlikely that script had multiple truly novel things in it. Broken down into sufficient small pieces it's very likely every story element was present multiple times i

I wouldn't carry with a round in the chamber if I carried a 320 either.

Not at all firearm specific, but "I'll get this tomorrow if I still remember I want it" has saved me countless thousands of dollars in my life.

I bought an M17 many years ago, and sold it a little over a year ago. My local store will still take them but it's $100 store credit only.

When exactly an officer is trained to pull their firearm will vary by department. I'm sure every defense attorney in the country is checking what firearms the officers were issued for their clients where it might make a difference.

Yes, this specific gun with this specific design issue that doesn't exist in any other firearm, and you now can't sell for more than $100 if you can sell it at all, and is banned by almost every professional shooting sports organ

This last one is the most damning IMO. You can dismiss it because there's a screw in the trigger but he shows in a separate video that it's not actually screwed into the frame or anything - it's just there to keep the < 0.

I think the idea that if you don't know the basic names of something your opinion on it is suspect is a fair criticism. Especially with the very odd reference to a 20-round magazine. There is no state in the country where a 20-round AR

I've only been around "gun culture" for 5-6 years or so, but not a single person I know in the fairly conservative area of my fairly conservative state thinks talking shit about a gun company means you're anti-gun - esp

Slightly more cynical take - it comes from gun-control advocates who want to repeal all of the firearms provisions in the PLCA lying about what it does to generate more public support for its repeal. People who just dislike guns (or disli

Are you referring to the M9/92? I don't own one but I've heard it's one of those guns that everyone who was issued one hates it, and everyone who bought one on the civilian market loves it - the implication being they ju

"There has to be a round in the chamber for a round to be fired" seems sort of tautological if I'm being honest. Very, very few serious people would argue that anyone carrying a firearm should carry it without a round in the

Judges aren't necessarily brilliant, but they do spend their entire careers reading, listening to, and dissecting arguments. A large part of this requires learning new information at least well enough to make sense of arguments on both

I think their argument is that FB has a pipeline that processes whatever data you give it and the idea that a human being made the conscious decision to use this data is almost certainly not what happened. "This data processing pipelin

I wish these numbers were percentile relative to the local economy and not in made-up "international dollars." It means absolutely nothing that 1.1B people live on $3-5/day and a different 1.1B live on $5-7. Can you survive i

It probably is harder to convince others to pay for opex than capex - maybe that's a good thing, maybe not. But it's certainly not any harder for you to donate this money to someone because they want to spend that money on token

So what? That sounds dismissive, and maybe it is, but I'm being serious here. What is the point of coming here and saying "when I was 12, my parents had less money than yours did when you were 12?" Privilege is relative, &quo
