I blame society.  

Yes, the introduction of cars, I’m familiar with the gun nut kabuki.  

Ah, so you’re just missing the point entirely.  Ok.  

Yankton.

Of course, you are smart enough to know that this is not his primary weapon. So, given that you are smart enough to know that, what do you think this is actually demonstrating? Are you trying to argue that the AR platform was not intended to be a combat weapon? Or that it’s pretty much interchangeable with a pump…

Fact #2: The 5.56 NATO round (.223 for civilians) is a varmint round. It’s designed for game coyote-sized and smaller. In fact, in many states it’s illegal to hunt deer with it. Why? Too weak of a round. So why did NATO employ it? Because of a simple theory: If you shoot a soldier on the battlefield and don’t kill…

It does not appear that you’re following my point. 

I think all those discussions are fine to have, but the point of my original comment was to point out that it is simply disingenuous to portray these weapons as no different than any other and merely “miliscary.” They are different. They were designed to be different. That’s why people carry weapons substantially…

Root for the knife.  

You are entitled to have your own opinion about the utility of a platform like the AR-15, but you are not entitled to make shit up and pretend you’re actually well-informed. Armalite developed the AR-15 (preceded by the AR-10) as part of a 1957 request from the army to meet certain parameters. The weapon was designed…

The AR-15 is nothing more than Miliscary - which is why they focus on it.

Possible, but not nearly as easy as TV would have one think, and kind of pointless.

This is a really, really good article.  

CK’s cautious reappearance comes at the same time as the latest in a series of Page Six stories about Matt Lauer’s hopes of reappearing on TV...Aziz Ansari has quietly begun performing standup...actor Jeremy Piven...Mario Batali and Charlie Rose and Garrison Keiller: they’re all looking for a way back in.

Dude, what’s it take to get ungreyed around here?  https://deadspin.com/1828258959

Greenwald is one of those folks who did good work, then became convinced of his utter righteousness in every endeavor. If he opposes it it opposes him, it must by definition be bad in every respect, and if he supports it or it supports him, it must be definition be good in every respect.

Hey bud, maybe take the day off from the internet.  I’m not sure this is good for you.  

It’s weird they still have the signs up and everything, isn’t it, sweetie?

It went from marginally funny to sad pretty dramatically, didn’t it?  

I honestly hope you get past it.  No snark.
