Dude, the reason the weapons are conflated isn’t because of the terms, it’s because they are similar weapons, designed and intended to be combat weapons. The AR-15 platform isn’t a hunting rifle that got repurposed to shoot lots of people in a short amount of time, it was designed with shooting lots of people in a…

The difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic is real. Lecturing on use of the term “weapon” vs. “rifle” is meaningless pedantry that only serves to impede discussion.
The only thing more unhelpfully pedantic than the assault rifle / assault weapon lecture is the clip / magazine “well, actually...”

This was a really solid parody troll. 10/10.
Egg.
Guns big enough to take down Icognito are illegal even in this country.
Dude, what the heck? Are you really this personally upset that I observed that Netflix’s movie catalog is not nearly as good as it had once been? Seriously, is Netflix your uncle or something? What is with the need to get all salty with me about things that I’m not arguing at all?
Oh, cruel irony...
I also have Netflix. Which is how I know that their movie catalog is not nearly as good as it used to be. This isn’t really controversial, is it?
I see. You’re telling me I’m wrong for something I didn’t say or imply. Awesome!
What am I, Amish?
Sure, and I can fuel my lamps with whale oil and churn my own butter while I’m at it! C’mon!
I dunno, man. I think the ease of making those components combined with the eagerness of a lot of cranks to supply and support a black market would make it pretty hard to wipe out.
The promise of a semi-comprehensive service like Netflix was so awesome, and it’s a shame it’s completely out of the question now. We’ll have a Disney streaming service, Hulu, Amazon, Viacom, and Netflix. So instead of a cable bill for $79.99, we’ll just have four or five $15 monthly charges and as many apps to switch…
So, I’m mistaken that Netflix’s movie catalog is not nearly as good as it once was. Thanks for educating me!
I’m really baffled by this. I’m not making a moral judgment about it, and I’m quite aware of the numerous business reasons why their catalog of movies has “evolved” from being quite good to being quite poor. Why on earth is it “frustrating” to you to have someone point out that Netflix used to be good for a particular…
Yeah, evolved from having a really incredible catalog to having a shitty catalog. Was I unclear that this was my point?
The problem with the bullet control approach is that someone with a smidgen of knowledge can make a thousands of bullets in their garage with some pretty rudimentary equipment. I’m not sure how you get around that.
