Video Ay, ay, ay... People are STUPID (with guns).

I'm not sure accuracy/corrections land with people who hate guns. It's like Trump Derangement Syndrome. Facts dont matter. But for those who can't resist the temptation to weigh in on social media, it's best to get to the point and not editorialize.

In that same scenario, too often gun enthusiasts respond to the gun abolitionist with: Listen you dumb motherf----er, let me tell you how it really is.... You lose them at dumb motherf---er.

Personally, I reserve the "you are a dumbfuck" comments to posers who think they know everything about firearms or gunfighting in all its incarnations. I'm not sure which of the two camps I can't stand more. It's only natural I gravitate to gun owners. I spend more time engaging pro-gun people than gun haters. I tend to ignore or avoid the latter. Waste of time.

You cannot convince someone who doesnt know you or trust your opinion to change their mind about something like guns. Or politics. Or religion. In all cases, most people are emotionally invested in what they believe. Arguing with them is pointless.

The collective have traded the discipline of independent thought for the mindless mob rule of social media. I mentioned recently that some sociology experts believe it takes around 50 years for significant social change to occur. We are only half way there with social media. In the end, it will fade away but it's going to be a couple more decades before that happens.

True. But even people who know me WELL cannot take a moment to think critically and consider that I actually DO know more than the talking heads on TV about this subject (among others). The narrative is so firmly wired into their psyche, that it is impossible for them to think for themselves or open themselves up to other ideas.

Bingo! To wit... the covid narrative, which while has been proven utterly false, persists to this day. They are committed to it.

Is that like a "double-naught spy?"

Maybe he was in charge of moving the payroll?
 
The huge brake suggests it's a big bore something. It kind of looks like a GM6 Lynx, which is 50 BMG, but I'm not 100% sure.

You think BMG with that big brake would have been more concussion. Recoil looked weak... :unsure:

Absorbed by old fatso's huge gut?

Could be Beowulf. Who knows... maybe lard ass just likes having the brake.

Caliber aside, he should have been told to pack up and get out.

No way this is real. Imagine a cop's response if he were pulled over for a traffic violation.

If the dude takes a spirited turn or hits the brakes hard... that thing is flying.... possibly into his head / face... or a passenger. In Navy Aviation, it's called "Cockpit FOD."

Shit, if I saw that as a passenger, I'd be getting right back out of the car.
