The dorks downvoting the meme.

“lets decentralize because Reddit is a thought police chum bucket… But lets vilify those darn gun nuts for thinking differently!”

what the heck is wrong with lemmy? if you don’t like gun memes, don’t come to the page. No need to downvote everything that isn’t your exact cup of tea.

Yes, it’s faster. But the speed up from 1.2 to .8 is not relevant, because it’s still not going to out draw someone who has the drop on you.

To be clear, I carry with one in the chamber. I advocate that others do the same, unless they have some reason not to. I just don’t like people claiming there is one and only one way to carry a gun.

Hey man, if you need some help, we’re hear for you.

Sir, this is a dog.

But it doesn’t matter, because it’s still not fast enough to draw from the drop, and if you’re not drawing from the drop then you have the time to rack the slide.

That’s nice. I don’t really mind if you carry hot. I do to. I’m just bugged by the people who insist you’re going to die racking the slide when you can get a round off in barely over a second without one in the chamber. It’s not the way you carry, it’s the way you train.

I totally agree. I carry chambered myself. But the meme is more about the people who haven’t even thought about it and just repeat what they’ve been told to believe.

Frankly, when I first realized how fast your draw to first shot could be even unchambered, I seriously considered switching. And I think everyone should consider it, instead of knee jerk ridiculing unchambered carry.

Think of it this way.

Is it ethical to force someone to be a catholic, or a jew, or an atheist, or a hindu? I think you’ll agree it is unethical. Suppose we didn’t have the first amendment. Would that suddenly change the morality of forcing someone to practice or not practice a religion? I think we’ll both agree it is still not ethical.

So then, the first amendment didn’t <i>create</i> a right to freedom of religion. It <i>described</i> a right that already existed. It tries to bring legality in line with morality.

The same is true for the second amendment. Gun ownership isn’t ethical because of the second amendment. The second amendment exists because gun ownership is ethical.

Who or what is Jerma?

Glad you got it! a MOA has such great meat on it, and it would be such a shame if it got away just wounded.

To add some context (and not to justify this in any way), they aren’t licensing “corn”. They’re licensing some random corn that they genetically modified to have a protein for producing betacaratin, or something like that. It’s not like they’ve patented a wild variety of corn.

When it gets really frustrating is if you plant your corn next to your neighbors corn and they cross pollonate (because it’s corn. That’s what it does.) And then you keep the seeds to plant next year. And then that’s violating some license. It’s like “I didn’t ask for your stupid genetic modifications, and now you’re going to charge me money for them?!”

Oh good! Your the first person to approve my choice of a .950 JDJ highpoint. That’s the one I have on me.

Balanced nuance? what is this?!

I had no idea this was a thing. I want.

I’m sure J-man would say that about Goth girls. But automatic rifles?

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but an m4” I think that’s how it goes at least.

Don’t worry about it. The zombies may appear to be thinking, but they’ve actually lost all thoughts long ago.

They call it a nazi sub because they can’t stand that people think differently. I mean look at this meme. Do you think this meme is promoting nazis? But these braindead people claim it does.

You chose to come to a federated social media and are surprised to see people using it in federated ways?

I’m getting sub moa, so the gun is better than I am (and better than most shooters are). ((and chances are, better than you are)).

Was there ever really a gap? I got fed up with reddit and came right here and am very satisfied. I don’t seem to be having a problem at all.
