Bushmaster's pretty low-budget they probably shoulda gone after Nike for providing him with the high-efficiency military walking apparatus that enabled him to jog around all day without getting worn out.

IMO real guns should rattle whenever you pull them out or point them like they do in movies, so that children getting school shooted can have awareness of exactly where the killer is at all times, and take advantage of the momentary cocking-noise delay before getting shot to execute a dive and shoulder roll behind a desk

Alexzandvar posted:Again, the criteria is "is it good for hunting?" and the AR-15 is not nearly as good as many good dedicated hunting rifles. My Uncle is a Game Warden and after Sandy Hook they had a plague of people trying to hunting with poo poo like AR-15's despite the fact it's retarded. lol thanks for the hunting opinion from someone who literally doesn't hunt or know hunters guy I wonder just how broken in the mind you have to be to do this kind of handwringing and then decide that killing defenseless animals for sport is the one inalienable gun-related right you're willing to defend to the exclusion of all else A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Dec 16, 2014 |

The AR is popular in the Western Hemisphere and NATO satellite states for the same reason the AK is popular in African shitholes: because there's a skrillion of them and they're cheap as dirt and you can't throw a rock without hitting someone who got training to use one on the government's dime. It's not a big shocker that the Zetas, who are literally Mexican ex-military, roll ARs over like a FAL or that shotgun from the Terminator or whatever the hell

Alexzandvar posted:A lot of technology gets improved through government subsidies and what not if there isn't a market force to drive research. Considering the varied excellent application smart guns might have it would probably be worth looking into making them less obtuse. The bulk of the NRA's opposition is due to immediate-term political factors, as a few states have legislation already in the tubes mandating smartgun safeties and microprinting the instant they become commercially available - not 'reliable', not 'cheap', just possible to mandate in a way that won't get immediately thrown out in court as a second amendment violation. Hence, there can be no smartguns on the market. Beyond that, when you're adding a component to a machine designed to fail safe (make the machine not work), there is no level of quality short of "literally never malfunctions" that isn't making the whole less reliable. There is no cost reduction short of "free" that doesn't make the whole more expensive. So you've got to make the case that it's worth it for people to buy a more expensive, less reliable gun, and reliability is sort of centrally important in the gun market. The only people really enamored of sticking biometric readers in guns are the Brady bunch, who aren't inclined to make that case or do much more than screech about stuff that bothered them in 80s movies.

Alexzandvar posted:The government can subsidize more than one thing at a time. Even absent the US's unique legal/political climate, no gun manufacturer anywhere in the world has produced or marketed smartguns in significant quantity, despite a couple of international manufacturers prototyping them at various points. Because nobody wants them, not even the cops in neurotically safety-concerned countries like the UK. They're a totally marginal gimmick, whose worldwide sales from all manufacturers number in the scores every year. People buy lots of safes.

Literally, nobody agrees with you (except Ableist Kinkshamer? Congrats on that?) and even those inclined to see your point of view are embarrassed by you and wish you would shut up. Maybe it's time for you to try something different and less annoying like being one of those PETA people that screams about fur or something. I don't really want to get involved with your attempt to totally own the catchphrase-pasting idiot with weak burns but please don't malign PETA, like their ideology or not they're witty and they brought us hot naked chicks

You'll never see so many Confederate flags as you will around an army base and the venn diagram of ex-military and militia guys is a bullseye so in reality it's probably a tossup whether a significant number of them would go berserk and become the vanguard of the racial holy war given an opportunity or if they'd just talk a lot of dumb poo poo about revolutionating against those socialists what's ruining America as they butchered the actual popular uprising against the state, my guess is the latter and then the former
