Gun Discussion

@RustleRustle  
So damn true.
 
 
@BadgingBadger  
Responded to ya. In my other message.

@BadgingBadger  
Jesus. That’s… yeesh.
 
The political disparity one is a little more than disturbing. I get the feeling that, at some point in the last 10 years, a Brazilian commie murdered a capitalist simply because he was a capitalist.

@RustleRustle  
That kind of violence is commonplace. Especially in protests.  
(Oddly enough, Brazil’s right-wing is capitalist, non-protectionist, and neoliberal)  
There’s also the question of vigilantism here – at certain times, brazilians who find a criminal prefer to make justice with their own hands, tie the guy to a post, and leave him to starve or bleed, instead of calling the police.  
I’ll admit it, i’d really like to go to a shooting gallery sometime. I shot an air compression sniper a few years ago, and it felt good. But i distrust brazilians to take care of their own selves.

@BadgingBadger  

 
What the fuck.

@RustleRustle  
It’s a byproduct of both uncontrolable revenge lust and a feeling that the police is either absent or not doing its job correctly.  
Unfortunately, “a good criminal is a dead criminal” has become an annoyingly commonplace phrase amongst the far-right here. Even worse, this dogmatic far-right is not only the main proponent of creating gun-wielding rights, but also tends to do things such as apllaud such vigilants and threaten the left with slurs and accusations of them being “dirty commies”, which makes some liberal people shy away from discussing over the issue of guns as they’d not want to see these lunatics armed.

I find it funny how in a lot of places with exceptionally stringent gun control laws are the same places where violent urban crimes thrive. Including gun violence.

@SeraphimDawn  
I’d prefer to say it’s just a coincidence.

@BadgingBadger  
I think it’s population density and other societal problems, economic, ethnic tensions, class struggles, and inadequate education that are more major factors than guns would ever be.

@SeraphimDawn  
Amen.

@SeraphimDawn  
Agreed.  
Though, IMO, guns are more of an accessory for enforcing the status quo on an already stable society. Their effectiveness depends on who’s using the gun, for what they’re using it, and who they’re using it against.

Does anyone notice how similar the automotive enthusiast community and gun enthusiasts are?

@SeraphimDawn  
Any “collector” community is like that, i’m afraid.

@BadgingBadger  
Glocks are like the Corolla of the gun world.

@SeraphimDawn  
I love Glocks. So good looking, powerful, and fun to shoot.

The Hwacha, an old korean rapid-fire rocket launcher.  

Good talk, everyone, but I believe it is time to return to this thread’s original purpose.
 
Posting pictures of guns.  
 
Titanfall 2’s Spitfire LMG. Named after best horse  
To quote the Spitfire Disciples Network:  

@BadgingBadger  
That likely had derived from a earlier Song Dynasty China rocket arrow launcher depicted in the Huolongjing military manual.  

@noobiestbrony  

 
Have you used the other Wondernines?
 
Beretta 92, CZ-75, and the Browning Hi-Power?

@SeraphimDawn  
Haven’t. Though I intend to. Glocks are just my overall favorite regardless. :P

@SeraphimDawn
 
@noobiestbrony  
I’ve tried out Glocks, but they just don’t feel right in my hands - something about the grips. I prefer the Beretta 92 or M1911, depending on how big a cartridge I feel like shooting that day.

@zerowinger66  
I have tried the 1911 and it’s not bad. Feels pretty good and was accurate. I just think the Glock fits perfectly in my hand. At least the standard and compact sizes do. Haven’t tried subcompact or subcompact slimline though.
 
Regardless. It feels fantastic, like holding it is almost as fun as shooting it.
 
I will give some other guns a chance though. When I can afford them and/or rent them. :P
