@jaysonmassey Yup,. which still makes about 90%+ of the quote as wrong.

As for people shot by a gun, I have avoided that aspect only because you have gotten upset when I corrected facts on that matter before, but as I have stated many times, the number of people killed by guns is pointless if you dont contrast it with the number of lives saved by guns as well, otherwise you are just making the same sort of argument as anti-vaxxers.

@LouisIngenthron There is probably no harm in cleaning too often.. but with it being non-corrosive Id say the factor should be the qty of buildup, not how long it might sit.. The approach im going to adopt is to clean it every 1000 rounds, regardless of the time between shootings.

@jaysonmassey 52% of mass shooters are white, 17 % are black. Likewise whites are 57.8% of the population and blacks are 12.1% of the population.

The narrative that whites are more often mass shooters is obviously patently false, and in fact if we really are going to break it down by race then the opposite is true, whites are **less** likely to be a mass shooter than other races.

@TruthSandwich

For the most part no arguments.. whether telling random people who never heard from you that your blocking them and moving on is harassment is debatable, but for the moment the mods havent raised it as such an issue (though it has been discussed), so for the moment there is no moderation issue. My point was only that that is the only part that is coming close to a line, everything else (and maybe even that) is well within your rights.

@TruthSandwich I am neither far right now even right. I am left, center with a left lean to be exact.

As for the lack of far right, you'd be surprised, there are tons of them. The thing is they tend to be on troll instances so most of us just block those instances outright and never hear from them. But there is no shortage.

You are welcome to block whoever you want of course, but you dont accomplish anything by blocking them first other than sinking to their level and perpetuating the "block dont talk" mentality they espouse.

If you find it more pleasurable here to block them, by all means, block them. Whatever makes you happy. I dont think its the best for society but if its best for your happiness that is a fine reason to do it. That said me and the mods do have to defend you quite often in reports or complaints because you tend to **announce** to random strangers you never spoke to that you are blocking them, which comes across as harassment, so that would be the only aspect of it I take issue with formally, otherwise your free to block whoever you want.

@LouisIngenthron so apparently I've been doing some checking and modern day gunpowder residue isnt corrosive (except for blackpowder and blackpowder substitutes)... At least as far as I can see the idea that you should clean it after every shooting session is a bit out dated.

@TruthSandwich Eh, blocking isnt the answer, but I agree with you, many will be extremists, either far left or far right, and those people are toxic to any productivity.

@Pat One and only one answer for me... guns and bombs to make more war... Though the real answer is fewer military bases and personel too.

Politician salaries are very reasonable and such a small part of the budget as to be a pointless target.

Tax loopholes... maybe, but which ones? Most tax laws seem reasonable to me and I dont see too many loopholes, but im willing to accept there probably are some worth addressing.

Food for poor people, nah, starving people to death is never an option, compassion first.

@RadicalGraffiti

@tatzelbrumm anyone trying to kill someone within 200 yards of me

@tatzelbrumm more weight means more recoil control, RDO means better accuracy. Grips are purely asthetic.

Decided to do some customizing of my Baretta 92X Performance Defensive... bought a tungsten recoil rod to add an extra 70 grams stabalizing weight, a small red dot optic, and got some really cool wooden grips with some custom art on it. Also adjusted the trigger reset significantly... parts come in tomorrow (except the grips). Kinda excited.

@goldengateblond I dont like Trump, and my response should not be seen as support for him.

But the truth is, thee is more than enough room to both lower taxes for everyone AND address the debt ceiling. The money wasted on military alone is more than enough to do both of these if we stopped dumping money into it.

@TruthSandwich

Ill check tonight where i can get this added easily, would be happy to show it for pride month.

@supernovae@universeodon.com

@GWillow That interpritation is dishonest and manipulative... they upheld the fact that, while you can strike, you cant destroy millions of dollars in equipment intentionally as a means to striking... as well it should be.

Just picked up my LTCF (License To Carry a Firearm)... its official, I'm packing!

@TruthSandwich could be, let me know if the problem crops up again.

@TruthSandwich Not that I know of... why?

@philip_cardella Harris's history on womens rights is where she lost me personally.
