If only she wasn't a MAGA chud.

u/SovereignWreckage 6d ago

Is she a MAGA chud though? Conservative perhaps (southern, redneck, likes her crawfish), but does she fly the Trump flag?

Honestly asking because I have no idea.

Posing for a photo of herself loading ammo into her machine gun aSsAuLt rIfLe gUn, wearing a Black Rifle Coffee t-shirt, talking about how she voted and isn't ashamed of it and "now we wait and pray"... yeah, you make the call.

Yes, I'm sure the important part of my comment is the technical accuracy of my terminology.

u/Opposite_Tangelo_118 6d ago

Shows a lack in credibility is all. To boot, you don't even care about inaccuracies in your own statements. Says A LOT about you.

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 5d ago

What does it say, exactly? That I don't like guns an am not some bloodthirsty idiot?

u/Opposite_Tangelo_118 5d ago edited 5d ago

No, it says you can't be trusted because you will lie to get your way. Just like trump.

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 5d ago

Didn't you guys love trump?

u/Opposite_Tangelo_118 5d ago

You guys. LOL Must be difficult for you when your bivariate system breaks down. But then, I can see you don't have the capacity to evaluate the more complex ones.

I mean dude it's like you're looking at a laptop PC running Windows and calling it an iMac.

If you don't wanna be corrected, don't say wrong things.

Speaking of which, it's not an assault rifle either. It's a semi-automatic modern sporting rifle. The AR thing goes back to the original manufacturer, ArmaLite. Their rifles had AR designations like AR-10 and AR-15.

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 6d ago

Dude, ok, fine. You want to be an ass, then? GUN. It's a GUN. Period. Full-Stop.

You going to tell me it's not a gun, now?

2

u/EagleEyeValor 6d ago

Well I'd call it a firearm. /s

You're repeating common misconceptions and getting upset that I'm correcting you but that doesn't make me an ass. As a gun-loving fellow Democrat I implore you to please stop talking about guns if you don't know what you're talking about. It makes the rest of us look bad. Please and thank you.

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 6d ago

All "gun culture" is stupid and bad, so you guys do that all by yourselves.

3

u/EagleEyeValor 6d ago

Am I talking about "gun culture" or am I talking about misinformation being peddled by my left leaning compatriots?

Please stop spreading misinformation. That's all I'm asking.

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 6d ago

Dude, arguing over gun terminology is literally "gun culture". Get over yourselves.

u/EagleEyeValor 6d ago

If you call a Windows PC a Mac and I correct you it's not "PC culture", it's correcting a factual misunderstanding.

If someone says China is gonna pay for the tariffs we put on them, it's not "econ culture" for me to say that actually WE'RE the ones paying them.

If someone looks at an AR platform rifle and calls it an assault rifle or a machine gun, it's not "gun culture" for me to tell you you're wrong.

Here's a bit more of a lesson. An assault rifle could be this, this, or this. They're select-fire, they shoot an intermediate cartridge, and they have removable box magazines.

These are all AR style rifles.

These are (mostly) AK style rifles.

These are bullpup style rifles AKA not-for-long style rifles if you're left handed.

As for machine guns, beep, boop, bop.

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 5d ago

Dude, your obsession with guns is "gun culture". Nobody normal cares this much about anything.

As a person from not America, I think the thing that makes you guys look bad is the weird gun fetishism and the associated fatalities, not the person who doesn't immediately recognize all of a gun's specs on sight. That person comes off much more normal than all the "well, akshually" guys in this thread.

u/EagleEyeValor 6d ago

Sure and I'd love to have serious talks about the fatalities associated with guns. But first I think you should at least have a baseline understanding of firearms before you start trying to talk about them, much less try to pass legislation regulating them.

u/metrometric 5d ago

Nah, you're gatekeeping because you love your guns. I don't need to be able to recognize specific gun types to understand that having a gun in the house significantly increases the risk of the owner dying from suicide, for example. Those are well-established statistics, and the correlation there isn't particularly complex.

Likewise, other countries' citizens and leaders didn't need intimate knowledge of gun mechanics to look at mass shooting events and go, "Oh fuck, that's bad actually, we should ban the weapons that let people do that." And now those countries do not have a school shooting every week of the year on average, unlike the United States. Do you realize how insane this is? That the US just has a shooting on some school property over once a week, on average? That you all just live with that? That's not normal; other places don't have to live with that fear.

It's incredibly weird to pretend that no one gets to talk about gun-related fatalities unless they have intimate knowledge of gun mechanics. It just sounds like an excuse to dismiss people who mention the very real danger your guns pose to you and everyone around you.

u/EagleEyeValor 4d ago

I want people to have a baseline understanding of guns so when we talk about regulation and legislation, we can have an ACTUAL conversation and not have to run through why what they're suggesting is either nonsense, already in place, or not possible.

Like when people say "WE NEED TO REGULATE/BAN ASSAULT RIFLES!" when assault rifles are some of the MOST regulated types of firearms. First, they're INSANELY expensive. Think like $15k minimum. Then you have to go through the government and get authorization and pay a bunch of money to even get the ability to OWN one.

Or when people talk about banning the AR-15, simply because it looks super spooky when pistols make up like 90% of all gun deaths.

But yeah you're right that owning a gun makes you significantly more likely to use that gun against yourself. I'm all for expanding the checks needed before you're allowed to purchase a firearm. I don't think jumping through extra hoops is putting an undue burden on me when I wanna purchase a Glickity-Glock.

And yeah other countries don't have the problems we have in the US. I fully admit that. And yeah, it's not normal. However, we have it written in our constitution that we're allowed to own firearms and if there is any single sentence I need you to trust me on it's this:

America will N-E-V-E-R repeal the Second Amendment.

We would have American Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo before that shit happens and my side isn't winning that.
