  • I don’t really think it would make a bit of difference if they showed up in the finest suit and tie ever made. You can’t sweet talk a bigot by dressing nice and presenting a logical case against their illogical beliefs. FWIW I’m not saying all republicans are bigots or anything, but the ones behind this bill definitely are. I grew up in an extremely rural area and have been around these types of people all my life, hell there are several of them in my family unfortunately. Most of them need no other motivation than “gays make me feel yucky” to start calling for bans and worse. From my perspective, it wouldn’t matter if Jesus himself showed up in a gleaming suit of gold and testified against this bill. It wouldn’t change the minds of the people trying to pass it.

    Edit: spelling







  • Delorian learned about the drawbacks of stainless cars back in the 80s. The rusting of bare stainless not withstanding, the stainless also causes the regular mild steel in other parts of the vehicle to act as a galvanic anode. This means that the hidden mild steel of the frame rusts twice as fast as the stainless body due to having a higher voltage potential. The death of many a Delorian came from its mild steel wishbone frame rusting away underneath the body.





  • Binary triggers are a drop in mod, as are rotary triggers that fire as long as you turn the crank. Forced reset triggers are another loophole that’s become popular, they physically reset the trigger so that as long as you pull with the right amount of force, not too much not too little, the gun will continue to cycle. Its also not hard to adapt an ar-15 to have an autosear. They mostly use the same trigger configuration as a full auto assault rifle, just with the auto-sear and selector switch missing. Its as simple as drilling 2 holes and then adding the 2 parts and a spring.







  • So your saying that year after year, statistics keep saying that we have a higher rate of gun deaths than all other developed countries. But those statistics must be wrong because what? Fox news doesn’t agree? The NRA told you differently? Is it because glorious leader Donald told you that the commies will get you if you don’t have a gun? Get out of your bubble and learn some critical thinking skills. The fact of the matter is, the statistics say what they do because they are true and reflective of reality, not the made up magical world you apparently live in.
    I’m not even an anti-gun person, I own a decent little collection, I’ve even built a couple guns from scratch. But if we allow anyone off the street, with zero training or even basic understanding of gun safety we’re going to keep seeing thousands of innocents die, either to malicious actions by mentally unstable mass shooter or to plain old accidents. How many times have we all seen stories of a child finding an irresponsible parents gun and killing someone accidentally? The fact of the matter is that if someone is 100% against any form of gun control, then they are definitely the kind of brain dead moron that should be banned from ever owning a gun.
