  • quack quack quack quack. we had an assault weapons ban in the 90s and when they let it expire, the number of mass shootings skyrocketed and it became the number one choice for kid murder. you can piss and moan about how “an m16 is a classic american rifle” and mewl about magazines, and entirely ignore the actual history.

    You want to ban assault rifles? Write better legislation.

    until we dx citizen’s united, it’s a rather pointless exercise as the NRA is willing to spend so much russian money in our elections.

    nah. we just need a court that understands the full fucking text of the 2a instead of a portion.






  • I could buy the ‘ar-15 pistol’ conceit if they were actually pistols, firing pistol rounds from pistol length barrels. the whole 5.56 pistol because I just took the stock off and have a gas tube or arm brace is ridiculous stupidity gun goobs use to pick apart legislation. if it’s a 5.56 scaled receiver, it’s obviously not a pistol and I wish all this idiotic twisting and turning would stop.

    the mini14 canard is bullshit too, I’ve only seen it in person in 7.62 and 5.56, which, again, only an utter moron would consider ‘pistol’ calibres.

    meanwhile you really ignore the fact that these firearms are intrinsically not hunting / self defense tools but weapons, assault weapons, and easily become mass murder weapons.

    feh.



  • yep. houses with attic fans and flow-through layouts were hella popular in the early 1900s-1940s. you could open some windows and doors front and back and let air move, and an attic fan would keep it from getting too hot and aid airflow at night.

    same thing with covered patios (my grandfather grew up in places like singapore, the philippines and oklahoma where you’d sleep on the patios under large ceiling fans) - we sealed everything up when AC came along and forgot how to do shit.
