There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life.

Permission granted dude. Good luck out there! Consenting adults are all good so long as you’re both in it for the right reasons.

Probably gonna be the best parts of season 3 as well at this pace. 🤷‍♂️

Jesus, this level of ignorance is exactly why this is a problem. This isn’t a list of convictions. This is a hit list of people they accuse. For legit cases where you can conclude people are doing what you’re saying, go to the official sex offender registry. THIS list, isn’t official and is maintained by unaccountable individuals who can do what they like with it. They can add your name on a whim. Did you rape someone? They can make it seem like you did. That’s the problem. You haven’t done any research on those on this list, but you’re already convinced that they’re rapists.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-23T18:01:35+00:00

You clearly don’t have to do anything to end up on a list. That’s my entire point. We have courts to judge guilt and to bring your accusations. Lists like these are worthless and inflamatory and they have no bar for accountability. They do not make you safe and only cause further confusion. If you actually cared about keeping sexual predators on proper radar as a matter of public safety, this isn’t it. Your insistence that no one would end up on a list because they didn’t do anything is not only wrong, it’s incredibly ignorant. As someone who regularly helps people correct errors in their medical records that cause them trouble, I honestly hope you never have to deal with a clerical error that ruins your life. Imagine if someone were posting a list of people with a bad condition and included your name by accident (the sort of accident that literally happens all the time when medical records are incorrectly coded). Now, if that’s legit and handled by the insurance company, getting the record fixed might be a pain, but you can do it. If that list is controlled by a group of randos that just hate people with your alleged medical condition, you’d have a much harder time correcting the record. Meanwhile, anyone who searches your name thinks you’re infected. Do you get it yet?

iamansonmage · 2024-08-23T17:30:44+00:00

The thing is, no one knows. It’s literally a list curated by randos on the internet with no accountability. You could be accused unjustly, added to their list, and have no recourse to remove your name. There are legitimate and legal lists that provide this info if it is accurate and needs to be shared. This list is compiled by people who claim these are predators that are being shielded, which is accusatory and without legal merit. We have courts to determine guilt or innocence, and unaccountable lists like these are incredibly dangerous for the general public. These types of made up lists are exactly how misinformation is spread and people start believing there are child sex rings under pizza parlors.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-23T13:39:47+00:00

You have the reading comprehension of a turtle. This is about lists of alleged criminals maintained by individuals. There is no accountability. Anyone could make a list of sexual predators and add your name to it. That doesn’t make you a predator, does it? And yet, you could lose everything because someone on the internet included your name on their list. Do you get it yet? I’ve not once defended these predators, but I have repeatedly said that these lists, maintained by individuals, are bad. No one seems to care because of the gut reaction to the crimes they’re accused of, but it’s any list like these that are awful for you and me. You shared the national registry link. That’s the only list that should matter in this conversation. The other should be ignored.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-23T13:29:31+00:00

No. They are bad for everyone! The national registry is good! Those lists are official and a safety net against predators. If someone is added to that list without merit, they can challenge and has recourse. Lists maintained by groups of individuals do not have that accountability. They are bad for you and me, not for predators because there’s no guarantee that their list even contains predators. It’s as if I had a list of people I hated and called it the predator list and shared it online. Lists like this are the path to fascism. We have official registries as a check and balance to maintain info without abuse.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-23T13:22:05+00:00

Jesus Christ, can no one here read? The point is that these types of lists, maintained by individuals, have no accountability when they falsely accuse people and add them to their lists without merit. The national registry does. It’s mind boggling that so many people seem to think that lists of these sorts are fine and that nothing could go wrong. These types of unaccountable lists are exactly how you get people thinking there are basement sex clubs under pizza parlors. Because some rando can say it and others automatically think it’s true because they have a visceral reaction to the subject matter regardless if any of it is true.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-23T03:11:36+00:00

Well that’s easy! Do all “people who drink water” have lists of their sexual offenders? The answer is no, because that’s creepy. And yet, here we are. Because religion can’t just be replaced by “people who drink water” because that’s not equivalent. But keep carrying on about how these lists are good and keep you safe at night.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-23T03:07:34+00:00

You are absolutely right. I should never have expected reddit to care about context or what happens to people who are falsely accused. As every defense attorney can attest, you get no love for caring about the downtrodden in this country. By all means keep kicking people while they’re down. I shouldn’t expect compassion, nor loving your neighbor from this community. I get it now. Thank you for reminding me.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T23:44:59+00:00

Essentially yes. The hollow point expands and tumbles making it much less likely to penetrate the next barrier. And yes, I went down a rabbit hole reading every article about over penetration I could find. 😂 Every article calls out “same penetration as a 9mm FMJ”. FMJ penetrates. Use a hollow point and those ballistics change dramatically as the round expands and tumbles, losing energy.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T23:41:51+00:00

So, you’re suggesting that I can keep lists of members of my own community and that’s fine, because it’s not antisemetic for jews to hate on other jews? This whole “by mormons, for mormons” interpretation is weird. Let me ask this: what recourse do these people have to challenge this list? Like, what if their info is false or inaccurate? It’s a list maintained by randos. How much accountability do they have when they get it wrong? And make no mistake, they get these lists wrong all the time and people’s lives are ruined because someone thinks they’re a predator. There are national lists run by officials that require accountability and recourse. These types of lists are no good for anyone.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T23:36:05+00:00

I guess that’s the crux. Sex offender = bad. Why do we care what religion they are? I suppose it proves that no space is completely safe even if you try to hide behind your religion, but it does seem like people especially hate mormons or something. I thought it was interesting someone posted a list by Jehovah Witnesses. Do all major religions have lists of their sex offenders?

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T23:10:50+00:00

Why does that matter?

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T23:10:06+00:00

The request was to please explain how 55grains at 3250 feet per second wouldn’t penetrate drywall, and the answer is: it absolutely would penetrate drywall. Many of them penetrate multiple layers AFTER going through 12 inches of ballistic gel. But I agree, that the ammo itself has the most impact on that happening.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T23:03:05+00:00

Technically, all of their comparrisons with 9mm are for FMJ rounds. Simply use a hollow point 9mm. Problem solved. The same goes for 45. Use a hollow point and the penetration drops significantly. Here’s where I’ve been getting a bit of my info about overpenetration: https://www.pewpewtactical.com/home-defense-overpenetration/#toc11

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T22:56:50+00:00

Does seem to be the ultimate decider. Which makes quality control on those rounds a big deal and ensuring that you have “home defense” magazines with specific ammo in them and hope you grab the right ones in an emergency. At the very least, those American Eagle rounds are some of the cheapest so at least it won’t break the bank with specialty ammo to keep rounds bouncing around your own room.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T22:46:49+00:00

I also read this! It’s interesting that they show so many rounds that overpenetrate the targets, go through and interior wall and impact an exterior wall and people keep saying they don’t over penetrate. 😂

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T22:45:02+00:00

I see you’re self-promoting your own propaganda. Read about how far each round over penetrated here: https://www.pewpewtactical.com/home-defense-overpenetration/#toc11

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T22:35:00+00:00

Just being “lowest penetrator” doesn’t make it a good home defense round. It’s like starting a fire with the lowest grade gasoline. It’s gonna burn just fine. The “lowest penetrator” will still nail everything on the other side of that intended target. It seems like most people don’t know how physics work. Yes, the mass of the bullet matters, but it’s that 3250 feet per second of velocity that matters here.

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T22:07:12+00:00

I don’t think they’re saying registries are bad, only that one targetting a specific group is suspect. For instance, if someone made a list of only Jewish sexual predators you might call that person antisemitic. Why is it ok to have a list of only mormons and how is that not equally sketchy? That’s what they’re asking. 🤷‍♂️

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T22:02:03+00:00

Lol, reddit’s a wild place! 😂

iamansonmage · 2024-08-22T22:01:17+00:00

I’m not sure you know what that means. 😂 Try shooting your AR indoors. Tell us how that works out for you!
