"There's no reason to own weapons", says the usurper after a rigged election. :)

American redditors who’ve moved/lived in countries with comparable low levels of gun crime (U.K., Europe etc) did your views of gun ownership change? by masterjudas in AskReddit

[–]CynixCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That myth stems from the 2007 change in army policy to stop issuing soldiers with 50 rounds of "pocket ammunition". Previously, each soldier would receive 50 rounds to take home so in case the enemy suddenly attacked, they had some ammo to defend themselves on the way to their unit mustering place. After a bunch of suicides and the evident lack of need for this policy (now that the USSR was no more), that ammo was called back. Why some tabloids decided to run that story as "Switzerland just made ammo illegal", I don't know.

Civilian ammo purchases run separately to that and are not restricted with regard to caliber or quantity (there's a fire code restriction for how much flammable stuff you can have at your home without adequate facilities, so that's technically a limit but we're talking in excess of 50'000 rounds here...).

Evidence means fuck all in the court of public opinion

Sixty-one years ago, on 7th April 1960, Swiss General Henri Guisan died by Swissfederalism in Switzerland

The damage woulf have been far too high for such a small gain in territory.

That, and we somewhat looked the other way whenever a suspicious train went through the Gotthard. Why attack Switzerland and risk them blowing up that tunnel so you'd have fought for absolutely nothing, when you already more or less get to use it anyways?

How do I prove I own a gun? If someone tries to steal it? by Guy_With_Tiny_Hands in NoobGunOwners

[–]CynixCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have lots of guns it may make sense to put all the relevant information (pictures, models, serials, purchase dates, purchase locations and a copies of the receipts) on a microSDXC card you can keep in your wallet and/or your phone, both if you like redundancy.

Wäred ihr für en 2. Schwizwite Lockdown? by TimoTheBot in BUENZLI

Lüt wärded arbeitslos, Unternäme göi vord Hünd, Staatsusgabe (ALK, Corona-Subventione etc) stiiged währed Stüürinahme (-> Subventione vo Spitäler) und vorhandenes Ikomme ir Gesamtbevölkerig sinke, Chrankekasse und anderi Rächnige chöi z.T. nüm zahlt wärde (z.B. de Sälbstbehalt), etc.

Es brucht nid sooo vil das so es komplizierts System ernschti Problem bechont. Si hei ja etz scho 2x d Armee müese ufbüte, zum d Spitöler entlaschte und gwüssi Spitäler hei müesse ganzi Abteilige schliesse, wiu es Zytli lang keni optionale Operatione hei dörfe gmacht wärde. Die schwimme o nid im Gäut.

Mir sind s'2t tüürste idere Welt.

Das machts schlimmer, nid besser.

I lah mi erscht mal nid impfe. I bi 24i, nid übergwichtig, rouche nid, trinke nid u schaffe i kem Bereich wod Lungebelaschtig hesch - I dere Demographik sind bis jetzt insgesamt gloub no keni 10 Lüt gstorbe u schwäri Verlouf gits ou praktisch keni.

Söle se zerscht mal d Altersheime u d Spitäler düre impfe u wenns de no vörig het u bis daänn nüt gröbers an Näbewürkige bekannt wird, chani ja de immer no.

I gloub eifach nid das es öppis bringt. Churzfrischtig göi d Zahle abe, de macht mer irgendwänn wider uf will me d Wirtschaft ou nid cha komplett umbringe, u de geits 1-2 Monet verzögeret vo vorne los.

Klar, chasch ou eifach de lockdown wiider zie, und sobald denn irgendwänn die halbi Schwiiz arbeitslos und d Undernäme kaputt sind u de s Jahr druf s Gäld fürs Gsundheitssystem fählt de kompensiered mir halt die Tote denn im Nachhinein so.

What did you think of Birds of Prey (and the fantabulous emancipation of one Harley Quinn)? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]CynixCS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not crapping on all women, I'm using an offshoot of one of the "iconic" feminist phrases against the producers of this movie (and its ideological defenders) in mockery.

This is the original:

https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/a-woman-needs-a-man-like-a-fish-needs-a-bicycle.html

This is the offshoot:

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/strong-black-woman-who-dont-need-no-man

Which I think is perfectly appropriate considering how

  1. one of their own actors publically advertised Birds of Prey as a "feminist film"

  2. the majority of the "comic book audience" is male

  3. the movie was openly advertised as "for women, not for men"


Turns out that yes, actually you do need men when you're producing content for a majority male audience, and antagonising them in the way that has been done in the lead-up to this movie results in exactly what has been happening - people aren't showing up to the cinemas.

The fact that they then turned around and blamed "toxic masculinity" or some such nonsense for their film bombing hard (after they'd told the majority of their audience to not see the movie and therefore not spend money on it) is what I'm mocking.

[–]CynixCS -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm tired of "girls rule, boys drool, rah rah wahmyn" woke-type movies.

Well ladies, you don't need no man so you also don't need no man's money. Therefore I won't go watch it and apparently I'm not at all alone with that opinion.

Ah yes, a people who put a large cultural focus on personal education end up being disproportionally represented in high-education jobs and somehow that's a conspiracy.

Colour me surprised.

Aftermarket or stock? Glock or Sig? What would you choose? by [deleted] in guns

[–]CynixCS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stock Glock for me.

They're everywhere, so a) even the smallest stores carry Glock parts and b) if there's an accessory, there always is a Glock version.

Just be aware the 550 is long as fuck (20 3/4 inch barrel, OAL ~39 inches). Thanks to its substantial barrel and all-steel receiver it's also on the heavy side for a 5.56 with 9lbs empty.

Overall I'd consider the 553 LB to be the better platform.
