It seems that with YouTube set to ban some (by no means all) gun videos, some content providers are moving their gun videos to PornHub.

How can they NOT see the irony??

There's still people acting more gangsta than they are in real life in social media. I just don't see the point.

You know, I seem to always be getting corrected by gun nuts when I say "assault rifle".

"They're not assault rifles!  They're semi automatic rifles!"

Well, I'm sure that makes ALL the fucking difference to the dead kids!

The Gun Nuts want everyone to walk around with machine guns, dear.  They are all fucking crazy.

It's a deflection tactic. Instead of talking about the actual issue, it turns into a semantic argument.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with Joe Arpaio?

He's a natural bully.  That badge let him go after all his personal demons.  He cost the taxpayers millions with his bullshit.

For better or for worse it -does- matter to legislation.  My sears 22 is an assault rifle just like a brass cannon is an MLRS, lol.  If we want it to stick we have to get it right and can;t make excuses for laziness or ineptitude in language or we're just crafting the next loophole.

As catholoo noted(ish), if it -can- be bogged down or obstructed by semantics it -will- be. We need to say what we mean, and..for a refreshing change...mean what we say.

A FOX news poll, just released.



I suppose even they have kids and grandkids that they'd rather not see splattered all over the school house walls.

I posted that in other threads earlier, but I agree. It proves that one industry and one lobby is holding our nation hostage.

Too bad.  They probably know better than to trust anything they put out.

I went and reviewed the DoJ regulations on assault weapons. It specifies center-fire, so my Ruger K1022T semi-auto tack driver is OK. Also, firearms purchased between some date in '01 and some date in '16 are exempt. That leaves a lot of uncovered firearms. I haven't had it out of the safe in years. When my some comes back from Japan (he's in the chair force), he's going to be stationed in Spokane. He'll pretty much empty out the safe.
