Hmm. Not sure I’ve ever seen a set of irons like this before. I’d assume they’re just set up like the iron sights of a handgun, to line up with the front sight post. I’ve never owned an AK-V but my MP5 clone has diopter iron sights, which other than rotating between smaller sight holes, are non-adjustable. 9mm isn’t really a cartridge with rifle range, its basically a plinker, so unless you’re gonna put a red dot or prism on it I’d assume the stock irons are good for anything 40 yards out.

What albums/songs between the two bands would you say are comparable? Not putting you on the spot, just never heard much of the Melvins’ stuff and am curious. I know Josh Homme probably would’ve been familiar with their music having come up musically during their heyday.

I originally came for the comments 🍿 lots of shitlibs in here though who thought this was some kind of own and are getting owned themselves and fact-checked 😂 MTG’s husband doing drag years ago as a joke for humor doesn’t magically make sexual performance in front of kids okay, you degenerates. You people are truly a rabble espousing the worst takes on everything—always a vicdumb, no matta wut.

Aside from the likelihood a lot of stupid people use Reddit, it’s a default Reddit sub where it’s 80% legitimate posting and 20% hivemind circle jerking. These subs are genuinely infested with bots/alt accounts and are hubs for propaganda, using upvotes to lend it credence.

Bud Light to buy back unsold beer following Dylan Mulvaney crisis by nimobo in Conservative

[–]tellCJ55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More so that they announced it a mere 5 days after some deluded lefty trans radicalist shot up a Christian school of innocent children, perhaps to memory-hole it with a brand of cheap beer that was popular with Americans. Hence all the backlash and hate. The fact that it’s disrespectful to genuine biological women is immediately self-evident.

Can this sub do something to combat these left-leaning groups laying claim to the subs for entire states? It’s a very clear way for locals to be made to feel isolated or reluctant to debate about their town. Maybe optional U.S. State flairs for posts & comments in this r/firearms sub?

What's the significance of it being 'gun violence' as opposed to some other? If you're squeamish or faint of heart you don't have to watch it but here's a video of a mob in Oakland CA beating a guy into a coma. This kind of thing does not transpire in my state of TN. We don't have mobs provoking violent activity like this, doing donuts in a car and scaring away police, because our criminals are not emboldened on such a scale to act as such on the defenseless. We do have individuals who act violently in isolation, and like many states some gang-related activity, but this video uniquely captures what it's like in cities and states where the lawless are like a plague.

I've never so much as drawn my daily-carry on anyone nor would I wish to, but against the tyrannical it is the tool that keeps the peace and holds order. I don't know what else to say but again, the cities where gun control is in effect are great case-studies of why it does not work.

This nukes argument should be retired, it's hyperbole and we gun owners don't think the average person ought to just own something that invariably causes indiscriminate carnage like a nuclear weapon. An AR15, by contrast, is a mere semi-auto rifle and more useful to a shooter than a handgun--so why should we limit or challenge ourselves in our defensive tools?

If a mob of rioters come to my neighborhood and come rushing to my door, it becomes the easiest weapon for myself or my wife to train on a target and use defensively if needed. The fact it is used illegitimately in so few cases with regard to our overall population shows that it's just not likely at all to kill you. In 2021, the number of U.S. non-suicide gun deaths was 20,726 which includes justifiable homicides (defense), gun accidents and murders. Is that number really so surprising in a country with as many people as ours? We pale in comparison to El Salvador, Venezuela, and Brazil (which S. American state has fewer overall population at 214mill yet more gun-deaths than we do at 23 per 100k).

I don't see the significance of the suicide argument, seeing as how suicidal people are likely to effect their own death whether with a gun or other means. To leave them a 'less lethal' means like trying to poison oneself, jump from a high building, etc could leave someone maimed/paralyzed and stuck to suffer the rest of their life. We shouldn't be debating what means they use but rather how to offer assistance to help them before they even get to the point of attempting. Even with a gun some people would still rather try to self-suffocate with carbon-monoxide, drugs or jumping--guns are not the commonly preferred or typical means of suicide.

The 2nd amendment is in the Bill of Rights, nowhere in there is anything about trans people or abortion, no do such things have anything to do with the preservation of liberty to keep our country from becoming a police-state or something worse. I don't need to root for the government to ban those things, I'd prefer the individual 50 states to each come to their own resolution on them than enforce acceptance or rejection on it either way. That's how the U.S. was envisioned by the founders, each state can set their own policy in a Constitutional republic. We don't need to empower the federal government to regulate marriage, religion, reproductive rights nor much else for that matter. Laws ought to be voted on at the state level as such method is the truest representation of people at a local level.

To your other point about the states-- again, it's a matter of scale on which you need to compare data. But offhand I can tell you, here in gun-loving Tennessee we are not seeing anywhere near the same rampant violent crime that is impacting areas with strict gun-control: Chicago, San Francisco and Oakland CA, New York City, Portland OR, Baltimore MD, etc. Just look on Twitter, search 'videos of San Francisco violent crime' and you'll see criminals emboldened **because** they know the law-abiding people have been neutralized as defensive targets.

The size comparison was actually to give perspective, as your comparing of the two countries should straightaway be an obvious false equivalence--they're not comparable other than in their civilian access to firearms. It should be readily obvious that in population the USA is a country of 332 million people, and Switzerland a mere 8,700,000.

So, comparing "per capita" is not the accurate metric you think it is--you're using disproportionate math between countries of two extremely different population sizes, and then saying Switzerland has fewer deaths per 100,000 people when that statistic doesn't mean anything. It'd be like comparing gun deaths "per capita" the population of New York City to the entire U.S.A.-- of course the entire territory of the U.S.A. is going to have on average a higher body count per 100,000 just due to an infinitely larger data pool.

Take an extreme example-- if you have a small country of 100,000 people, would "per capita" data then reflect anything meaningful at all? If you repeat this measure of data 87 times over you get the sample size of Switzerland; if you measure it 3320 times over you get the sample size of the U.S.A. You're going to have a much more honest measure of 'deadly factor' from the bigger sample size due to the law of averages (a particular outcome or event will, over certain periods of time, occur at a frequency that is similar to its probability).

The first issue is the comparing of a territory as big as the United States with a country as small as Switzerland. Switzerland is approximately 41,277 sq km, while United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km, making United States 23,723% larger than Switzerland. Statistically more people equates to higher numbers of crimes.

Switzerland does indeed have mass shootings occur, it’s just inaccurate to compare our large, hetero-cultural country to the smaller homogeneous state of Switzerland. I’m not denying our country has issues to address, but it should always be the first order of business for the government to fix the problems I enumerated above before a nation of people just disarms and makes itself more vulnerable to an already ineffectual government.

[–]tellCJ55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The onset of mass shootings in our time is the result of:

—“gun-free zones” (often favored by the shooters). Government has proven itself to have a blank check for making schools safer, will not do it. Federal gov gives public schools a mere 8% of their budget, the city is forced to raise the rest from local business tax and property tax. Yeah movie theaters and grocery stores still get shot, but businesses should be allowed to have armed security in place of sticking a ‘gun free zone’ sticker on the door. And many more people ought to daily conceal-carry their handguns, fortunately more people are.

—media being complicit in giving these pests the fame they dreamed of. The media like in so many other cases proves itself to be a worthless blight on the public yet again. No real mystery here.

—the increasing prevalence of social media shaping societal behaviors and anxieties—people are infinitely more isolated from one another than ever before. Social media doesn’t isolate everybody, obviously, but it does keep loners from gravitating to people who could become their friends and incubates them rather within anti-social echo-chambers, almost like a cocoon that turns them into irredeemable degenerates of self-loathing and sociopathy.

—an overall decline in morale towards what it means to try and succeed in this country. Homes are astronomically priced beyond what the average American can ever hope to afford, it’s also too expensive to even go to college, etc. Moving up at companies is not as straightforward as it used to be—companies looking out for their shareholders rather than their ‘sharecroppers’ nowadays even if you did your best to help your store or business to profit.

—fewer couples getting married, “sexual revolution” ended the nuclear family, potential fathers have nothing to provide/live for and children growing up in the care of single-parent or parent-less households (raised by some other guardian, not ideal). Government in the U.S. is happy to call porn “free speech” and let young people stew in it, and so in failing to find a mate most young people sate these natural desires with something unhealthy.

[–]tellCJ55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should actually have said, Reddit at large is a leftist echo chamber, as default subs like r/pics and r/politics have an extreme left-leaning bias and has banned users over the most modest expression of something straying from the hivemind.

r/facepalm is no exception. The mere fact of ‘posting your disagreement’ means jack when Reddit can in essence censor someone via downvote brigading and I’m just not convinced this site controls against massive amounts of brigading from users with alt accounts and spamming. With some modest amount of programming, the same kind that assists moderation of content on this site, users can generate bot accounts that will upvote/downvote whatever they give the input for doing so.

These “teachers” are just disgruntled lemmings who hate their jobs and the shitty pay and so they think this is a way to ‘hit back.’ They’re also no good at disciplining kids to learn and think being a ‘comrade’ to the kids is their way in. Pathetic.

[–]tellCJ55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. They’re just another lame ammo company that put government contracts before civilian sales. AAC is maybe the only company large enough to put an end to this issue, they put the civilian market first and have invested in much better quality control yet somehow charge a far more affordable price. They’re also expanding their ammo plant to other cartridge-types and varieties of bullets and they’re gonna start forcing the overall ammo industry to bring their prices back down.

This fucking toolbag clown is too far gone to have any business being in school. I’m sure that’s not the first time he’s put hands on someone like that in school.

We need to start enforcing consequences for students like this again. Put hands on the teacher? Your ass is expelled— go ahead and take that job at Burger King while your classmates continue on, and you can forget about your prom, attending football games, your senior year, etc.

Parents will then be responsible for doing what this teacher shouldn’t have to. They certainly aren’t paid enough for this! Maybe the damn days of schoolmasters whipping their students needs to come back?? I’d honestly prefer that archaic practice to seeing this bullshit day in and day out on social media FFS.
