What I hate about traveling to America is going camping and seeing a group of guys bring their assault rifles to practice shooting.

DavidWong 02/14/18 11:54:16 PM #66:	AssultTank posted... Yeah... Automatic - Bullets fire as long as you hold the trigger. Burst - A set number of bullets greater than 1 will fire on one trigger press. Semi-Automatic - One bullet fired per trigger press. Next bullet is automatically cycled into the chamber and the gun is readied. (All non-revolver handguns fall into this category.) Bolt Action - You must manually cycle the bolt, this cycles and readies the gun for another shot. Automatic and Burst fire are illegal in the USA. Also of note; The AR-15 is a small game hunting rifle. The popularity of it is due to its modular design, allowing for easy customization of various features, most of which do not affect the function of the weapon. Right. Thanks. This helps. So I mean automatic then. Those ones where you can hold the trigger and spray bullets. --- Nice guy? I don't give a s*. Good father? F* you! Go home and play with your kids.

The reason why some people get upset is because no one ever says "Hey, I don't understand the difference between automatic and semi-automatic and I don't know what an assault rifle is. Will someone please explain what these terms mean?" Instead they try to tell people what guns they should or shouldn't be allowed to have and have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. Yeah, this is a phenomenon I've noticed quite frequently, especially from the media and politicians... Gun terms aside, I'd like to flip it back and say sure they might not know the lingo but that's missing the point.

Hinakuluiau 02/15/18 12:19:35 AM #91:	It's a bit rich to hear a gun owner complain about paranoia when you literally have people in here arguing for owning guns because of paranoia. The chances of someone breaking into your home and you being able to stop them with a gun is just as crazy as some random gun owner going nuts in a store and using their gun to kill people. Both arguments sidestep the issue of violence and miss the mark on why the US has a problem other countries don't. --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD <cite>Hinakuluiau posted [p:896112496] in Why are se...
