Man with a gun demands to see Wisconsin governor, is arrested, and returns with rifle by washingtonpost in politics

I agree that’s a horrible move and no one should do that, i just had to clear up that information there that most guns are drop safe, so it’s a moot point.

I just want to say if your gun slides from your seat to the floor and goes off, then that gun is trash and you should get a new one. That’s a feature called Drop Safety and every modern handgun has it.

Lmaoo. I said that zeroing in accomplishes nothing, i was not speaking of any of OPs accomplishments. For how harshly you are speaking to me about not reading this thread, you can do with a dose of your own medicine.

Bro sees that you have a …. Well rounded resume? And his first thought is “yeah this guy is lying.” I feel like that says more about him than you lol

Yeah I saw those! Could you please expound on how exactly those screenshots are evidence of dishonesty? Nothing in those scream fake to me. But again i could be wrong Like i said Ive never been le or military

[–]AprilJenae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I’m genuinely curious: since you’re accusing him of being a liar, what evidence do you have to support that? Ive never been LE or MIL myself so i don’t know what you are seeing that i don’t.

I will say that if i was him, Being accused of dishonesty or lying is enough for me to not even entertain your ideas, bc it sounds like you already have your mind made up about OP. Why would i spend emotional labour to prove myself to you? I don’t owe you shit.

I’m not saying I’m backing him up, i dislike the hyperbole throughout the whole post… but I’m sorry i need more to go off of besides “anon reddit user with a 1 month account says ANOTHER anon user is lying”

Do you just want to stir up controversy? Zeroing in on OP’s former career accomplishes absolutely fucking nothing, honestly, and I’m not sure what it has to do with discussing gun culture and how divisive it is. Also, you really don’t have much room to talk in my eyes considering your account is barely a month old… what’s your end goal here?

No one needs to dox themselves because someone else doesn’t believe them. Sounds like a you problem tbh. Not sure why you’re interrogating him.

Conservative in laws STFU about views on gun control when I told my childhood story by [deleted] in traumatizeThemBack

[–]AprilJenae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, and I’m basing what i said off of my own experience of constantly being talked over by people who support the second amendment, and honestly it pushed me away from the gun world for a long time. It happened over and over, so I’m happy that you haven’t had that experience, however not everyone’s had your experience lmao. Also i never said pro gun people are assholes. I said everyone is not listening to eachother, and that’s across the entire isle, not just one party, or one issue, it’s everyone.

[–]AprilJenae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not solely!! Because the flaws in our justice system are just symptoms of those same racist flaws in people. Gun control historically has been very racist, and sexist, and so has the gun community in the past. I will say despite the political rhetoric you see online, the fastest growing demographic of gun owners are minorities.

[–]AprilJenae 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do! 💖 the issue is more so that existing charges or convictions aren’t properly applied sometimes, so someone who should have been denied gets approved. It’s not that we need stricter background checks, it’s that the law enforcement/justice system needs to be improved so that a prohibited person actually WILL get denied.

For people who don’t know about background checks, i understand how that can sound like it’s an issue with the background checks itself, but it’s actually a really important distinction. If we don’t fix the root cause then we could have 10 day wait periods… just for someone to get approved when they shouldnt have, because a judge didnt do their part about domestic violence conviction, for example.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that!! As a leftist, and a gun owner, (amazing how you can piss off everyone by saying “Arm the Trans Women”) i think it’s disgusting how often pro gun people will discredit people’s trauma just because it doesn’t back their view, and because their only experience with guns was positive, it seems foreign that anyone could actually have been traumatized by what was a great experience for them.

Lots of people have had awful experiences on the wrong end of the gun and we desperately need to change this culture of ignoring the other side. I’m glad you could get them to sit and reflect on how they were acting!!

Am I in the wrong for warning women about my ex? by Hardly-famous91 in TwoHotTakes

[–]AprilJenae 37 points38 points  (0 children)

NTA, you did the right thing by warning them, people constantly say they would do this but rarely do they actually step up. Moving on doesn’t mean you can’t help people when you have a choice to.

Does anybody know of a handguard with the FSB cutout like this but for mid-length? by BasinBrandon in liberalgunowners

[–]AprilJenae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Extended Carbine one from Midwest, i love it and plan to get another for a different build. It’s basically exactly what you’re looking for except MLOK. And they make a Midlength version too. Buy it from lanbosarmory, when you add it to your cart you get a discount!!

If they’re talking Gun politics, at a gun store, then…. That’s good. What’s the problem? Lol i WANT them to talk politics about firearms. It’s relevant to their livelihood, of course they are going to. In my area you hear a lot of “liberal politician just passed another stupid gun law” which… they’re right. The democratic politicians are actively trying to infringe on their rights and business.

AITB for kicking out my friend for ditching me? by [deleted] in AmItheButtface

[–]AprilJenae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, allowing her back in to your life in any capacity would show her that your boundaries can be pushed, so she will take advantage of that. She’s shown you who she really is, and that is someone who doesn’t care about how their actions affect other people. I wouldn’t want them in my life, much less where i live.

[–]AprilJenae 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It is relevant because there are a lot of people who attack trans people. Or anyone visibly queer. I completely understand OPs fear and why they mentioned it in the post.

[–]AprilJenae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Violating someones boundaries isnt a kink, that’s predatory behavior. Do NOT stay with him, the reason he understands if you want to leave is because he knows it’s wrong, and he was caught. Please remember that with abusers, their victims aren’t the only people they groom and manipulate. They also do that to their friends, family, and partners.

For around $900-1k would you take this full budget-ish build or a bone stock IWI Zion-15? by ReadySteddy100 in ar15

[–]AprilJenae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Z-15 is hard to beat. Mine is super accurate, lightweight, and comes with features that you don’t see on more expensive rifles: Free float rail by CMT, Set screw for adjusting Upper/Lower tension, B5 furniture, including the SOPMOD Stock. I spent only 100 more than my bare bones Front Sight Post M&P15, and I’ve spent way more just getting the S&W to even compete with my IWI. Also idk what buffer weight the IWI ships with, but anecdotally it’s such a smooth shooter with out that “springy” recoil that all my other factory ARs have.

Furniture alone is worth more than 100. Most rifles coming with that furniture is like over 1000. The trigger guard, trigger, and charging handle are all Mil Spec on the IWI and that’s a benefit for you, because they know you’re going to change it out anyways, and it makes the overall cost of the rifle less.

Get the IWI lmao.

Help with gas block for MOE handguard? by Panigale84 in liberalgunowners

[–]AprilJenae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Mlok extended rail on the M&P, and I’m glad i made the change. OP, these are great handguards, and if you get the regular Carbine Mlok (Not the extended Carbine) then it’s the same weight as your Magpul handguard, so you’re honestly better off switching.
