Normally I would just let it slide, but I’m bored so why not have some discourse :)

  1. I do not own fire arms personally due to mental health issues. I do carry pepper spray and have a taser readily available. Worst case scenario a bow I use for hunting.

  2. There are legitimate uses for fire arms full stop. Protection against bodily threats, hunting, tyrannical government, etc.

  3. I support universal background checks and “common sense gun regulation”. It is a dangerous tool, but it is still just a tool. I’d love to see mandatory fire arm safety training before attempting to buy a gun.

  4. Workers rights are bogged down because of hierarchical systems designed towards uplifting the few and the expense of the many.

Why should the government have exclusive use of violence? In any case, the eventual goal (for me personally and people like me) is peace and liberty. Until that happens the working class must have access to fire arms. The people who should not own guns are those with mental health issues, and access should be limited to trained/responsible individuals.

Karl Marx isn’t really random, he is the godfather of communism. Now I am not a full blown communist by any means but Karl Marx was a really smart dude who correctly saw and anticipated the negative effects of capitalism. It’s ok to disagree, I respect that completely but I’d ask we keep it civil.

There’s a very large overlap, but I can’t blame any minorities wanting to arm themselves in the current political climate. Arm queer people!

Lmao if someone comes at me with a gun I’m just gonna square up with them? It’s not cowardly to want to arm yourself in case your life at risk.

I know you’re just trolling or whatever, but I’d love to have some reasonable answer to what a non-cowardly response is supposed to be if there is some armed person trying to hurt me or my family. The police response time where I live is 30-45 minutes. I don’t want to shoot someone, I hope I never have to, but if it’s either me or them? Well that’s what makes having guns practical.

“Hello Mr. Deadly Attacker, you’re going to kill me with that knife? Well watch out because I’m going to defend myself with this universal healthcare!”

Stab stab

“Oh no! It seems that concepts, lacking physical properties of any kind, are inadequate defenses against a knife which contains actual matter! At least my family won’t be charged by the coroner if that counts as ‘healthcare,’ so that works out I guess!”

An attacker in a society where everyone has guns, will have a gun. And you cant protect yourself against a gun, with a gun. Thats the point.

If you want to protect people, you should build systems that protect people, not give everyone a murder weapon.

Here, some numbers.

Hell yeah he’s the least. What is that, a 7 round mag? What a joke.

I believe that the gun he has is the sig Sauer p320 m18 or m17 which both have either 17 or 21 round magazines.

Looks like the [320-M18] model, which comes default with a [15] round flush magazine. Then again we can’t see the bottom in the picture and nothing is stopping him from putting an extended magazine in.

I think you’re right it’s an 18 not 17, you can see the mag clearly in the actual video and it’s the flush mag.

You guys are seeing something I’m not. Both that barrel length and the mag look way smaller to be what you guys are claiming. I’ve got a FN 509 that’s close what you guys are describing and it’s much bigger than that (although the angle of the pic could just be messing with my eyes)

Must be the angle, it’s clearly a sig with the 15rnd mag and manual safety. They do also come with a 21 rounder, but this is the 15.

Sig p320, looks to be the M17/M18 version with a manual safety, not the extended 21rnd mag though, probably the 17rnd mag; unless CA, NJ, CT, IL, NY, MA, WA, (fuck I know I’m missing one or two), who restrict their citizens to 10rnds arbitrarily. That’s a double stack 9mm magazine, def more than 7rnds.

In theory it could be a .40sw, but afaik they don’t make them in that caliber and you’d need at least to rebarrel it if not need a new slide too, and new mags and such ofc. That isn’t impossible, because they do make those parts for the regular p320, but afaik they only make the 9mm version of the slide with the manual safety, more likely that it is stock.

You’re right though, the more rnds the better, but also concealability is a factor. Tbh, we don’t know if he has an AR with 100 surefire 60s stacked up right off camera, either, but we know that wouldn’t fit in his pants lol.

Do they make those in FDE and with a manual safety? That’d be news to me.
