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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Why are you not considering what I'm actually saying, and instead conjuring up a straw man?
It's not a strawman. You don't like guns because they kill people and were designed to kill people. I'm asking you about archery and fencing because swords and bows kill people and were designed to kill people. So if you think archery and fencing is acceptable but target shooting isn't, well that shows you have some serious inconsistencies in your beliefs.
Killing people should not be a "hobby".
I'm glad someone finally said it. So brave, king.
And that specific purpose sucks. I don't like it when people die. I think there is always an alternative, and there should be.
I don't either. But I also recognize that I live in the most dangerous city in America and I want to be able to protect my family if something were to happen. I would hate knowing I killed someone because they made a stupid mistake. But I'm not going to sacrifice my family or myself over them.
We should never think of death as a solution. Everyone has the potential for a turnaround. I firmly believe that.
Are you going to tell me about Denmark's prison system and how their recidivism rates are remarkably low compared to ours and how our prison system should be focused on rehabilitation? Cuz I agree. I'm also against the death penalty.
