BF2S Forums Official Mass Shooting & Suicide Bomber thread

Alright, everyone into the pod, but first show me your pod pass.

Sketched some improvements in MS Paint.

The thing will be made of heavy enough steel to not be pierced. It will be so heavy the floor will sag and require repairs.

I can have sex in there.

Meanwhile, inside:

People get caught up in the semantics assault rifle vs. assault weapon usually to derail (lEaRn tHe TeRmInOloGy!) whatever gun control is talking about. Important for tl;dr lawmaking (where objects should be clearly defined within a law anyway), but not as important for internet discourse.

Why bother ackshyuallying someone about that stuff on an internet forum. Assault rifle, assault weapon, who cares. I'm pretty sure someone on a BF2 forum is familiar with the concept of semi-auto vs. auto.

A murderous lunatic is going to suppress a bunch of 10yos regardless.

this texan calls them ‘assault rifles’ too?

even people on your side of the debate are pretty casual with their terms, it seems. doh!

The nomenclature dodge is just another blatant argument cooked up in the last few decades to evade the actual point. Dilbs points out the most apposite thing being the ability to get 30+ rounds out as fast as one can aim and fire is the issue.

You could give every troubled American youth a surplus Mosin and I bet there are far fewer killing sprees that top your average CoD1 deathmatch count.

Thats cute, I was routinely in the top ten in the UK with an actual firearm.

Ha ha nerd, you literally sat at a desk pressing a button.

I seem to recall an "assault rifle" requires being able to fire more than 1 round per trigger pull. The shooter had a semi-auto ar-15, not an assault rifle.

let me assure you that not a single person outside of the US gives a fuck about the distinction. your country looks like a dumpster fire and you’re emphasising fine legal or technical distinctions.

it turns out that 400 heavily armed and armoured cops in uvalde were afraid of one skinny teenager. maybe the trigger/firing mechanism of the AR-15 isn’t the most important thing when discussing whether to ban it or not, hey?

isn’t the AR-15 a military-style assault rifle anyway. just as i described? you want to claim it’s only an “assault-style” weapon because it’s not the full military version? erm ok. potato potahto. people sure be making that “-style” suffix do a lot of work in their dipshit deflections.

the clinton-era ban included them in its list of ‘assault weapons’, no?

you got exactly my meaning. did you bump your head one too many times in basic?

i seem to recall a ‘war man’ was a term that described a person who actually fought in a war. ??? you’re more of a war-style man, if anything.

I mean guns have evolved from musket to the bolt action to automatics. Every single design could be considered military style because the basic design at one point was used by a military.

Yes AR-15's were banned in the assault weapons ban, meanwhile the mini-14 with similar functionality and performance to ar-15 was perfectly legal. Hell there were situations where a gun had its pistol grip variants banned despite the performance being the same, but the pistol grip version looked "scary" so it was banned.

In fact the assault weapons ban in a nutshell was just a ban on weapons and features that looked scary despite said features having no impact on the weapons' performance. Assault Weapons is just made up terminologies by politicians to scare the public into banning more guns. Hell the origins of "Assault Rifle" was more of a propaganda thing when Hitler was presented with the MP-44 which he had renamed StG-44 or "Sturmgewehr 44" which I'm pretty sure you can figure out its translation.

Hell in Canada, they banned ak's but for awhile vz58's were legal despite both being 7.62x39 rifles with similar appearance as well as performance.

Then there is the streetsweeper shotgun which is kind of a piece of shit shotgun, yet NFA labels it as a "Destructive Device". Meanwhile you can buy a saiga 12k or any other 12 gauge shotgun of similar or higher capacity that is far superior to the streetsweeper.

Then there is the ban of importation of 7N6 5.45mm rounds which are labelled as "armor piercing" by virtue of having a steel core, never mind the fact that it has shit penetration compared to a 5.56mm round that isn't armor piercing. The 7N6 rounds are steel core because Russians want to make their shit as cheap as possible.

Then we have my dear beloved President saying things like "9mm blows the lungs out of someone" despite being untrue, meanwhile suggests a double barrel shotgun for home defense, of which slug rounds can potentially blow the lungs out of someone....

I remember a Hillary Clinton awhile back having a tweat that said suppressors increase lethality.... Suppressors decrease muzzle velocity which I am pretty sure doesn't  increase lethality, the opposite if anything.


I could go on and on with bunch more examples. I am generally against any kind of gun laws/restrictions because often times they are made by people that are ignorant of guns and up creating laws that are contradictory, inconsistent, and/or just plain incorrect. Of course it is possible they know better, but they just want guns banned so they fucking lie to get things banned.

The guy is running for politics, hell he could easily be someone that actually doesn't own any guns but wants votes so says and does whatever to get it. Being Texan doesn't guarantee being a big gun guy. It took Texas awhile to be a constitutional carry state when several states before it became constitutional carry.
