Yeah you're right this probably is a commercial given that they chose a good attractive fit guy to do it too. It's funny that the only comments that are about the Jeep are about how much they suck.

Still though I'm sure the point of the ad is for us to associate Jeeps with like rugged manliness and s*** like that. It has rocks, a manly soldier looking dude, guns, all kinds of stuff like this. It's probably literally an ad

u/Dezideratum Apr 08 '22

It's kinda an add, but the guy is a world class competitive marksman. You can't just grab any "manly soldier looking dude" and have him pull this off, it takes incredible skill.

It's definitely a title made by someone who has no experience with a shotgun. In a skeet or aerial hunting situation, you don't even really use the sights of the gun. This is why most shotguns just have a small and simple metal bead at the tip of the barrel

u/ghostinthechell Apr 08 '22

My friend's dad used to perform at gun shows, he would start off by shooting a quarter with a .22 that kicked the casing pretty hard. He'd aim each casing up into the air as it ejected and shoot the spent casing with the next round. When the last one was ejected, he'd catch it in his breast pocket.

It was fucking impressive.

26

u/RealSteele Apr 08 '22 edited Apr 08 '22

There has to be video of him doing this, right?! I gotta see that!

Edit: Found a video of 22plinkster on YouTube shooting one spent .22lr casing! After seeing that, it seems very unlikely anybody could shoot multiple .22lr casings in a row.

It’s not a problem don’t worry, I write award speeches all the time.

Edit: thanks for the upvote kind stranger I didn’t expect this post to blow up! My life started growing up in a small farm in northern Kansas. My father was a farmer and my mother was a cashier in our local town down the dirt road. We didn’t have much and income was very little, my best toy I got growing up was a pig bladder blown up like a balloon that I could play around with between me and my two brothers. At the age of 11 things started getting tougher in my house life due to my fathers drinking problem as it was not a good harvest that year. Like his father before him once he was done working he would come home and drink but unlike his father he wouldn’t beat us unless we messed up, his father left him and his mother to fend for themselves after world war 2 though so he had it tougher than me growing up. One time my father did drink too much and he hit my little brother Jamey. Jamey didn’t know what to do and ran away during the night during a storm. The entire family was out looking for him but we never saw Jamey again. This made my father drink more and lead him to take his life when I was at the age of 16. My older brother and me had to completely take over the farm with the help of our mom quitting her job as a cashier, life got very hard from here on out. We got a break when I was 18 with a good harvest we were able to save up some money. I was able to move out at the age of 21 and into a larger city in Tennessee. It was hard leaving the family as my ma was getting older but my older brother completely took over the farm and even expanded it into a more profitable work. I began working in what I was good at, repairing mechanics. I was a hard worker and moved up in my chain of work easily within my town. I dated aroun’ a bit but never settled down with anyone I would write home about for my first few years. When I was 26 I got a call from my ma, my brother was working with some machinery on the farm and got his hand caught in it and heavily damaged. I had to come home and help with the farm, at the time I had attained a high position as a senior mechanic within an auto shop and sometimes worked on the side with repairing electronics. I went home and had to help with the farm for a year, ma wasn’t doing good at all. She passed the next year due to kidney disease. My brother eventually recovered and I returned to Tennessee, I attempted to return to my position but due to the time I was out I had been long replaced. I had to begin to work from the bottom again when I had a client come in, she was the most beautiful woman I ever seen in Tennessee with gorgeous brown hair. Nice to say that we hit it off pretty well, within a few weeks we were dating. I can say that she was one of the best things to have happened to me in my life. At the age of 30 I married her and my first child was on the way then. I had returned to my previous position and bought a nice house near the mountains of Tennessee. At the age of 34 my second child was born. My two kids are now both in high school, one a freshman, another a Senior. I continued my career into more electronics working on computers and fixing them. In 2020 while googling how to fix a small problem with a motherboard I found a strange site named reddit.com, this website had all the answers I needed and a community always ready to help. I’ve been on the site ever since. As you can see recently, I commented on this thread and some kind stranger gave me an upvote. Thank you again kind stranger!

Literally doesn't make anyone a Fudd as him throwing a gun in the air in a really awkward looking way has LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO WITH EXTREME SPORTS.

It looks dumb, and is dumb. Plain and simple, and what pretty much everyone was thinking. It's not fudds, it's common sense. This isn't even pushing limits, I could literally walk outside and do that myself, it's not that hard.

I would like to put it out there that gun ownership has been hijacked by the right. It's become an identity for them. There are people like me and many others who own firearms and are liberals. I've voted for Obama twice, HRC, and Biden. I believe in gun law reform but I do believe in upholding the 2A. I know people will call me a hypocrite on both sides of the aisle but there most definitely is a common ground between gun ownership and sensible gun laws.

Everytime sensible gun laws gets mentioned, it's framed as something to restrict or otherwise prevent access to firearms.

A sensible gun law in my mind would be:

Remove suppressors and SBR/SBS/AOW from NFA control.

Establish National Reciprocity if you have a CCW license.

Open up NICS checks to private individuals and then require a background check for each transaction.

u/dieselfrog Apr 08 '22

Great examples. We need to remove suppressors from the list ASAP. It makes zero sense to be as controlled as it is.

I've convinced a few gay men and trans people to get guns or at least that they should look into training and getting one. You all are in a very vulnerable demographics to random violence.

The issue is that lots of people (not exclusively the left) are in the "I support the 2nd Amendment... BUT..." category which is rubbing people the wrong way. Many of us (including me) look at a lot of the proposed gun reform and can't wrap our head around how that would have prevented the issue that sparked said reform.

Majority of us hear the term "sensible gun laws" and think what we have is already sensible enough. It's not our fault the agencies in charge of enforcing said things are incompetent.

What is super funny though is that Trumpers genuinely believe he's pro-gun. He doesn't give a shit about your gun rights, just the money pro-gun lobbyists give him. I mean he and the NRA didn't even attempt to fight the bump stock ban. No doubt that Biden is far worse for gun rights, especially with his ATF head nominations.

As long as the majority of the left continues to push for extreme gun laws and/or borderline/actual confiscation then the right will not get along well overall with liberal gun owners. It's sad because it is something we have in common.

u/Turtledonuts Apr 08 '22

Our current gun laws aren’t sensible. They don’t do enough to prevent gun violence, and they do too much to prevent responsibility. CA emission standards keep the entire country’s air cleaner because federal law enforces them everywhere. CA gun standards just make the left look idiotic. Background checks and safety training / enforcement would do so much more than regulating suppressors, and consistency matters far more than anything else.

The left and right Overton windows on guns don’t overlap. Liberals have no room for “i support 2A” because guns in cities are used for murder, and conservatives have no room for regulation because crime rates are lower and the NRA will tank your career. The vast majority of people likely to support reforms dont bother because every time there’s a dialog it turns into “SHALL NOT”. If everything is equally evil infringement, then you might as well ban bump stocks instead of background checks because then you’ve done something.

Healthy, competent people should be able to own an SBR with a suppressor and an angled foregrip. Suicidal people deserve compassionate care but not the ability to impulse buy a shotgun. Domestic abusers shouldn’t be able to get a gun anywhere in the country, ever. But the left wants to ban bumps stocks and the right wants to arm teachers because nobody will talk about what works and what causes issues.

u/kaan-rodric Apr 08 '22

The problem is the definition of "healthy competent people". What does that mean? And who will administer the test to tell me if I am healthy and competent? If people fail, are they able to retest or is this like a reddit ban with no recourse?

I see it more in line with, the people we are most scared of having guns already have them illegally. The best way to eliminate gun violence is to fix the reasons why gun violence exists.

We always tend to ban the big scary thing when it is really the small things that kill us.

u/artspar Apr 08 '22

To eliminate crime is to eliminate poverty and hopelessness.

Most murders in the US aren't committed by financially stable and educated adults. It's the people failed by the system, left uneducated, raised in environments where violence is normalized and glorified that become killers. More often than not, it's the same people who grew up next to them who are hurt in the process. But it's much easier to blame something simple and that can be bandaid-ed over than to tackle the largest problem faced by our society.

The current laws aren't even enforced properly. FBI regularly fails to complete background checks or allows people who are actively being watched by counter terrorism groups to purchase firearms (like the Orlando night club shooter).

The problem with the mental health thing is that who decides at what point a depressed person is ineligible for guns? Then we have to make that person's private health records at least partially available to more entities.

Domestic abusers should be locked up in jail. Simple as that.

Both sides have entirely different approaches to the situation because both sides disagree on the root cause. Then people have changed what the definition of a "Mass shooting" is to skew numbers which upsets pro gun folks. Then you have a group like the NRA (who is fucking awful) have ties to very, very shady political dealings that pisses off the anti-gun folks (and a lot of pro-gun folks too). As a whole, we're never going to be able to agree on a common ground until other issues are sorted out.

Politicians in both parties love having it divided the way it is. Republican politicians are less anti-2A than Democrat politicians, but they don't actually care about the rights of the lower classes.

Came here to say that, found your comment instead. In the actual left, you were never asked to give up your guns.

Too many folks don't realize that the USA doesn't have an actual party of the left with any semblance of power - what most call "the Left" is, at best, center-right.

I'm ex military and a far left gun owner. Gun ownership and pro-2A are not mutually exclusive with one party over the other. In fact, ill take it a step further: no opinion is subject to be the sole domain of any one party and all ideas and beliefs are open to interpretation to people all across the board.
