No, not everything you said is true given you said 4 miles and stuck to it until this thread. It literally changes a word. Learn not to exaggerate. (PS, their data doesn’t actually meet the criteria of exposing a real fatality but I get the point about maximums, granted civilian loads would be down to about 30 ft lbs…

I was replying specifically to SHough’s statement/claim.

Basic civics fail....

*was in my early 20s

12-17 years ago (I think my first visit was 2002)  raves were a minority of the camps along the Esplanade but became a noticeable presence by my third and final visit (8ish years ago?). (That’s also when catered RV camps became noticeable) They were always there, and welcome, but not such a dominate part of the…

Many types of .22 are plenty for varmint. I actually wonder if he wasn’t describing a .22 pellet rifle given he grew up in NJ (firearm discharge being illegal in municipalities and all) but they aren’t normally regulated as firearms so it wouldn’t be pertinent to convo.

Yeah, Crenshaw should have not used this example to make his claims. Given the victim was in a car and had a gun in her purse she should need a concealed carry permit or LTC in Texas, correct?

These are the actions that make it easy to show my conservative family members that Trump either has a mental health problem or serious age related cognitive decline (or both, or both plus tertiary syphillis).  And they actually admit they see it now after 3 years.  But they were never really Trumpeters so much as the…

Agreed on it not being absolute. You might want to read the entire thread, including greys, as I’m not going to repeat myself 24 hours later.

A mandatory buyback is what Beto is gleefully advocating:

Tick tock....

First, this is an all around horrible case. I mean how do you even go about dealing with all of the complexities in a fair and just way?

Yep, it's worth every year it takes off your lifespan.

Ugh, I'm so tired of these charlatans.

I think there is a fair concern highlighted in your statement. I spend a lot of time on conservative sites calling out hyperpartisan BS (my hobbies are largely populated by conservatives) and I’ve seen examples that support your conclusion.

Please read my comments in context as they definitely aren’t bad faith or selfish. I don’t own one nor do I want to. I would be fine if they were banned but just wanting that doesn’t matter. I’ve spent time educating my family on their danger without success and to be honest some of their claims have merit, even if we…

I’m willing to comprehend but you don’t actually support your outlandish claim. Let’s go back so you can prove yourself.

PS...large mag isn't inherent to ARs.  I actually think some of the legislation that forces welded mags, etc could pass constititional muster but even then we see market ingenuity like"bullet buttons".  It's a nasty cat and mouse scenario.

I get your rhetoric and I refuse to own one despite family encouraging them.  Hell, I won't even buy a handgun.  But there are other individuals who fundamentally disagree with you and they have the same credentials (see link).  And at the end of the day the tests laid out in Heller don't require ballistic analysis or…

Motivation definitely matters and those who wield such language maliciously deserve extremely strong rebukes. And I have admitted scale matters multiple times
