Comparing and discussing modern PCC with a traditional PCC. Both are 9mm. Firearms are the Henry Homesteader and the Lone Wolf G9 PCC.----------------------...
A little different post this time, not a news article or anything. Just some excellent points made here.
You see, AR rifles might look scary, but really they’re just semi-automatic rifles that function the same as other less scary looking rifles. The real scary weapons are actual military assault rifles, and I think anyone should be allowed to own those too! Obviously, these will only be used for good and will never be used to make mass shootings even worse. Of course, some people might perhapse use them for bad, so police will now need to be equipped to handle literal military weapons, and I see nothing wrong with cops walking the beat looking like they’re patrolling Kandahar. This is the vision the founding fathers had for America!
I’m being sarcastic of course, but honestly how could anyone justify allowing literally anyone to purchase actual military assault rifles without any sort of licencing or training requirements?
We don’t allow people to automatic weapons without a background check and even then it’s old stock.
An AR-15 is similar to the M-16. The only real difference is depending on the model, the m-16 will be fully automatic or have a three round burst.
The round fired is a 5.56 NATO round which is the same round used for varmint hunting. There is nothing unique about the round or deadly about it. It’s an intermediate round.
My 30-06 is much deadlier on a round per round basis.
The point being is people freak over an AR-15 when it’s used in under 1% of murders.
Handguns are the primary killer and its inner city youth killing each other.
In all fairness I don’t have an answer. It’s a tough problem to solve that’s tied to culture.
My gut reaction is to increase the number of police on the streets as they did in the 90’s when we had a rapid decrease in murders. Studies are mixed is that really helped. That was part of Joe Biden plan to decrease crime the 90’s.
Joe also worked to increase prison time but once again studies are mixed is that worked.
What we do know is the in the 90’s we had a sharp decline and I do think that should be studied. We need to really learned what did and didn’t help.
I am not a fan of Joe Biden. I think he’s a racist but he did push tough on crime measures in the 90’s. The question is did that really cause the decline or was it something else.
Other countries disarmed their population and took away their rights. That doesn’t interest me.
We should do what has worked in the past. If that is more police and longer jail sentences, as Biden claims then let’s do it. I have no issue keeping criminals in prison.
The 1994 crime bill wasn’t racist. That is an odd thing to say. Can you point to where the law was racist?
Maybe we should look to what other developed countries have done to reduce gun crime
Why should I give a fuck about gun crime, a category solely defined by the use of guns, rather than violence as a whole, which gun control has repeatedly proven to have no statistical impact on?
but honestly how could anyone justify allowing literally anyone to purchase actual military assault rifles without any sort of licencing or training requirements?
Because fuck off, neither you nor the government has a place in telling me what I can and can’t buy.
So as long as mass murders go to jail it’s fine? A classroom of kids get slaughtered, the guy who did it gets life in jail. That’s an even trade? That’s justice? The government has done its job?
Hickok45 on gun control: “It is my belief, and it is for a lot of other gun owners, that the purpose of the second amendment is that we have the same firearms that the military has”

It’s the leading cause of death for children.
The U.S. has 120 guns for every 100 people, and a homicide rate or 6 per 100,000.
Finland has 32 guns for every 100 people, and a homicide rate of 1.6 per 100,000
Germany has 20 guns for every 100 people, and a homicide rate of 0.8 per 100,000.
The U.S. has the most lax gun law, followed by Finland. Germany is by far the most strict of these three.

If gun control doesn’t work why is gun control tied to lower deaths, and gun quantity tied to higher deaths?
Back on your favorite lie, eh
It’s not a lie. Feel free to look the stats up yourself if you don’t believe them.
This isn’t true if you’re at a gun show or have a friend with one.
Thats straight up not true. NFA items always require a tax stamp, which means a background check.
TIL. I retract my previous statement.
Because fuck off, neither you nor the government has a place in telling me what I can and can’t buy.
Easy. Because the actual problem is murder. “Precrime” should not be a crime.
Murder is made way easier with guns, as a result gun prevalence increases murder rates. Nobody is suggesting “precrime” is a crime.
Do you think civilians should be allowed to own nuclear bombs? Would it be a problem for civilians to own such arms, or would murder the be problem?
So as long as mass murders go to jail it’s fine? A classroom of kids get slaughtered, the guy who did it gets life in jail. That’s an even trade? That’s justice? The government has done its job?
I mean, pretty much. Throw them in with the unabomber in 23/7 solitary. Maybe put out an awareness campaign or something.
Awareness always works. Do you have any crack cocaine?
(This is a jab at awareness campaigns, not about the gun debate.)
