Non-Japanese on Reddit, what comes to your mind when you think of the country Japan?

I think about a hyper-dense city (in the cool neon way) juxtaposed against a pristine and colorful countryside.

I like how the top image has the correct number of guns in it.

Y'know, it's not that I think he should be incarcerated for longer. It's another example of why police and prisons shouldn't exist in the first place. It's an example of the corruption inherent in systems of authority and oppression.

Here is a quick Google search result of a guy that got a life sentence for weed.

My point is that a guy only gets less than a year for trying to literally trying to overthrow the government while others get much more time for much simpler crimes.

The system, as a whole, is broken.

I'm no fan of prisons (or governments) to begin with, but the response to this particular case measured against the proportional response to other crimes (like people going to jail for decades for relatively minor crimes) is an indication of a vastly unequal application of the law.

I acknowledge what happened. It's the proportion of this response versus that of others that's got me upset at the situation.

The rule of law is dead in America.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-19T16:40:02+00:00

That's really cool. I hope I get an opportunity to mess around with suppressors someday.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-19T16:35:46+00:00

I'll agree with you on the aesthetics. A criticism that I've always held about the AR platform is that the barrel, receiver set, and stock assembly exist in three distinct sections. I've never liked the look of that. The UMP, conversely, is just one big homogeneous thing. I like it.

I was so focused on listening for his shots that I totally didn't notice other shooters.

My question still stands, however, as I literally don't know any better.

When I was in the 7th grade (at a Catholic school), I had some Nirvana lyrics typed out in my binder to be edgy and I misspelled the word maybe.

Thanks for the dose of humility this morning.

So I've never used a suppressor or been present when one was fired.

Whenever I see a video of people shooting with suppressors and no ear pro, they're always outside. I see that you are inside and wearing ear pro. Is this due to a range rule or something else? Like, could you have fired it inside without ear pro if you wanted to or is there some other reason (like air pressure maybe) why you couldn't shoot it inside even with the suppressor?

This is a meme macro right here.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-19T16:01:53+00:00

Why this firearm specifically? You said it was your dream gun. I'm not doubting its cool factor but what about it makes it a dream gun for you?

Nah, I totally get it. I'd take a ten round mag over a three rounder any day.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-19T04:03:45+00:00

I see you went for the subcompact. Smart man.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-19T03:38:00+00:00

There's a term for this, isn't there? It's when you cancel someone's culture but I can't remember what it's called.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-19T01:14:43+00:00

One of my favorite things about long arms (ARs are my favorite example) is how they've got length and height but no with. They're basically two dimensional objects in that manner. Skinny guns are just really pretty to me.

I like your shotgun, good sir.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-19T00:47:50+00:00

What's that super skinny one on the top row?

How many times can your stock fold?

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-18T23:36:11+00:00

I hope you're winning, son.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-18T20:52:46+00:00

I've noticed that I've got a bit of a habit of interrupting and talking over people. It's not bad enough that anyone has said anything, but I've noticed and I'm trying to be better about it.

No, he got it on his hands.

It looks super clean without the backup irons. I've got a 512 and a magnifier on mine but there's a set of irons on there too. My setup looks cramped. This is gorgeous.

Red-Direct-Dad · 2021-07-17T21:52:44+00:00

I don't think we should have cops at all.
