Firearms?

Gun nut: "you don't know the differences in the sears between automatic and semiautomatic??? Don't even fucking TALK to me BRO"

This only happens in gun debates and they have a fascination with touting their gun knowledge as if people give a shit.

Seriously, imagine pro-choicers bash pro-lifers because they don't know every nuance of abortions. "You don't even know what medications are commonly used in abortions?? You can't tell me the exact procedure of dialation and evacuation? Don't even fucking TALK to me BRO"

"You can't pick out the fully automatic sear of an M16? Dont even fucking TALK to me BRO. How can you say machine guns should stay banned if you can't even do that BRO?"

While you are showing a caricature of a person, there are merits to be knowledgeable about firearms and discussing policy changes. Knowing the intricacies of firearms will make a difference in deciding what policies and laws should change.

With that in mind, there are some aspects of regulation and gun control that do not require firearm knowledge to talk about, but most do.


Rarely. Give examples.

Its hard to take them seriously when they purposely misuse the term assault rifle.

Semi-automatic rifle just doesnt have the same ring of danger to it...

They know the difference, but they use the term anyway for shock value. So fuck them.

How about we turn this around?

Do you really want a Non-Scientist / Anti-Environmentalist to run the EPA and dictate legislation that isn't fact based?

Do you really want a Anti-Abortion / Male Politician who doesn't understand the first thing about reproduction to dictate legislation about Abortion?

Do you really want senile old politicians who can barely use email much less modern technology to write legislation about the internet?

There's a big difference between nuance and calling for bans because it looks scary. If you want to argue against specific types of guns at least educate yourself with basic knowledge.

Details are EVERYTHING when it comes to writing legislation about a specific nuanced topic that requires a great deal of understanding.

Otherwise you're going to write legislation that creates unnecessary issues for many law abiding citizens that don't need to be there.

Oregon's courts threw out a propossed firearm ban because of bad terminology recently. Namely, they decreed "assault weapon" and "high capacity magazine" are NOT clear terms. Which anyone with even a little firearms knowledge knew already.

almost like there was a supreme court case that ruled blanket bans on semiauto firearms are unconstitutional, something one might know if they were somewhat knowledgeable on firearms and the laws surrounding them

They're not intended to be clear terms. They're intended to be blanket terms because these people want to ban all guns. They don't actually want "common-sense laws." They want a full-out ban, so they try to group as many things as possible under weird and nonsensical terminology like "assault weapon"

No, it mentions arms, as in "armaments." A semi-automatic rifle is an armament. Therefore it is constitutionally protected.

Just like Aviation, Computer Hardware, Nuclear Reactors, Engines, FireArms are a VERY technical field that is very easy to use, but hard to understand the detailed workings about and how it affects the end user.

People making BS legislation like the "Assault Weapons" is a made up political term to demonize FireArms, 2A supporters, and anybody trying to support their natural 2A writes written in the Constitution.

It's literally a political tool used to beat against your civil rights and used to try to strip it away.

You wonder why people care about the details, it's because details make ALL the difference.

Especially when it comes to a very core subject that has do with a Mechanical Construct like a FireArm and that happens to be a Civil Right, the 2nd Civil Right that is listed in the US Constitution as the 2nd Amendment.

That's why people get all up in arms about it.

No, the intricacies are more often than not important in regulation and gun control.

Examples: Magazine limits, stocks, arm guards, triggers, any limitations on modifications like surpressors, bullet caliber size for conceal carry, types of firearms, etc. the list goes on.


Does this not resonate with you that understanding these things are of high value when determining policies?


I'm not talking about policy makers. You don't need to know the difference between clips and magazines to support magazine capacity limits, for example.

1: People against guns typically know nothing about them aside from what the media tells them.
2: The gun nuts knowledge of guns is the only knowledge they actually have.
3: Both sides refuse to find a middle ground.

I say this as a southern born liberal raised baptist who has the benefit of having been on both sides.

Because regardless of the subject matter or debate at hand, only a fool goes to battle without doing their research.

At it's simplest, how in the fuck are you going to be against something and demand it be banned when you are literally ignorant and do not understand wtf you're talking about?

Who will win a debate 9 times out of 10? The person who is more knowledgeable about BOTH sides of the issue.

I'm not talking about policy makers. You don't need to know the difference between clips and magazines to support magazine capacity limits.
And if you understand how a Fire fight works along with how marksmanship, and mechanical operations of the firearm, then you would understand why Magazine Capacity limits are really meaningless and just another political tool designed to attack the freedoms of 2A supporters.

What you need is People Control.

People who have Convicted Felonious records and Convicted Records of Violence (Misdemanors, Infractions, etc) are the ones you want to keep FireArms away from.

Also a person must not have any court determined & Medically certified mental issues on their records.

You also usually need to be a Citizen as well to be able to attain a FireArm.

Those 3 factors are already in the Federal Law books.

Those are more than enough to keep society safe.

The moment you stop enforcing the laws or updating records is when bad things really happen.

"You can't pick out the fully automatic sear of an M16? Dont even fucking TALK to me BRO. How can you say machine guns should stay banned if you can't even do that BRO?"

By that logic should people that know nothing about abortions really be allowed to craft legislation on how and where, if at all, abortions can take place?
Or those that biologically cannot have them?

Nukes are the types of arms used in Nation to Nation conflict.
