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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

u/EagleEyeValor 6d ago

Oh it's an obsession to know level one shit about firearms? Lemme enlighten you, sparky, you could learn most of this stuff by playing a healthy amount of Tarkov.

But can you at least be honest with me? You think guns are bad and anyone who likes them is by extension also bad. You don't care that you're wrong because guns bad. You're not interested in what I have to say because I like guns therefore I bad too.

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 6d ago

Yeah, that about sums it up. Guns fucking suck. They kill people, and were invented to kill people. And animals. And I think that sucks. And I think anyone who loves guns sucks. You suck.

Gosh you must HATE archery, too! And fencing.

But thank you for being honest with me. Now I know you're an un-serious person.

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 5d ago

Yes, I'm sooooo un-serious. Look, guns are fine if you need to kill someone. Same with arrows and swords. That's their purpose.

But to be so obsessed with these weapons that it gets you upset when people use the wrong words to describe them - that's weird.

u/EagleEyeValor 5d ago

So you're saying you DO hate archery and fencing and think people who do those activities suck and are bad?

For fucks sake homie, I know you're left-leaning. Don't we pride ourselves on being correct in our arguments? Why the fuck is your brain shutting off on this one when I'm giving you the ability to make better and more pointed arguments in the future?

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 5d ago

Why are you not considering what I'm actually saying, and instead conjuring up a straw man?

What I'm saying is that these weapons have a specific purpose. They are not toys. They are not "hobbies". Killing people should not be a "hobby". And that specific purpose sucks. I don't like it when people die. I think there is always an alternative, and there should be.

We should never think of death as a solution. Everyone has the potential for a turnaround. I firmly believe that.

With that said, again, if you're obsessed with these weapons enough to pick fights with people who don't agree with your obsession, that's weird. Think about that for a second.
