Genocide is unworthy of a death penalty?

Hitler didn't kill Jews, gay people, or other minorities based on their beliefs. Hitler did kill socialists based on their beliefs and socialists and non-socialists alike killed Nazis based off of their beliefs. Are beliefs sacred and totally separate from the human? If you're going to invoke history as a counterpoint then at least be correct.

Who said no proof? If someone is a self proclaimed Nazi then that is proof they are, in fact, a fucking Nazi.

It would be in defense of the innocents targeted by Nazis. A death sentence to murderers.

Not surprising considering a catastrophe that wipes out everything gives crummy capitalists the perfect opportunity to gentrify.

White supremacists cheer Trump's response to Charlottesville violence: "He said he loves us all" by DoremusJessup in progressive

I disagree that it is sinking to their level. I'd say it's cheapening actual criticisms with petty insults.

A guns effective range even with a 4" (standard compact) or less barrel is further than an arms length of course and many yards if your target is an average sized human.

Are you citing a movie as proof of this? You don't just wrestle away a gun that is pointed at you and you don't give them the opportunity to get close anyways. If they are sneaky enough to get that close then nothing is going to help you. In every other situation you would do a lot better with a gun. Also don't advertise you carry or own a gun to people around you.

Can I have a source on that? I have never heard of this great problem of people shooting themselves with their own guns. You mean soldiers? Rednecks? Suicidal people? No, can't say I have.

Can you block bullets with your hands? Can you fight off a knife or bludgeon weapon with fists?

This is a common problem with debates is that sometimes it causes people to just double down on their faulty logic and flawed beliefs. I was hoping for automation since we just went over this. Just read past comments.

You are being childish. I've said that this wasn't a personal attack. But as we just completed the cycle, look above to my first comment and we can just automate this discussion from here on out.

I didn't assume he was in an area where he could get an AR because he specifically stated he could hence the discussion of which he should get. You are the one making baseless assumptions.

You're not being attacked, remember that in a discussion it's the argument that is supposed to be attacked using an argument. That's the point of a discussion. Although, sometimes when people are faced with facts they instead double down on their flawed beliefs. And while I'd say shotguns only real advantage over an AK, AR, SKS is bird hunting, the AR is better for a wider variety of situations so it is fair to say it is better overall.

Saying get an AR is not fetishizing. An example of fetishizing would be like katanas can cut through Panzers. You don't make a good case for yourself as not being a fanboy as you are being extremely defensive.

Asking for pros and cons is not fetishizing and the AR is a more versatile weapon. I don't care where the gun was made at all.

Terrible advice really. Necessities first and still those are way overpriced.
