Who is this person and what did he do to get this reaction from my fellow Lemmy users?

Edit: Nevermind, I have google

Call your mom. (If your relationship is good) it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to, you don’t forget once they’re gone and it’s too late.

Sorry for the dramatics, I lost my mom when I was 21

Been playing “the isle” recently. Game has had/still has some questionable development happening around it, however, dinosaur. I’ve been enjoying it.

And the training consisted of sitting in a classroom, then taking a paper test and scoring well enough, if not more. I loved AA 2

So you don’t have to go to Imgur

Before. America’s Army dropped for the PC in ‘02. I feel like grunts were getting chargers from like 06-current. Could be wrong though

We don’t need to bring these people up at every opportunity.

Have you heard of/seen highlanders? They’re one of my personal favorites. (Outside of whatever one is closest to me)

Most of this comment is out of left field. Wow. Uh.

Dealing with a couple coyotes. Honestly probably didn’t need a gun.

This study shows coyotes predate on humans up to 37% of known attacks. That person was fortunate to have a firearm.

Dude said he wouldn’t feel better with a rifle, well, from his personal anecdote, to mine, I would. I am much more likely to be accidentally shot by my friend with the handgun imo.

I don’t know how much of a problem that is, oh and it’s going to snag on something. I’m not a gun nut.

Your lack of experience is obvious. I’m not going to go into all the reasons you can clear buildings and rooms without reaching for a handgun, as muzzle discipline and accuracy become exponentially more difficult. There’s a reason SWAT breaches with rifles and not handguns, well, them and any one else that has quick access to a rifle in the situation.

consumerist trend to load up guns with extraneous shit and go for longer and longer guns.

I work at a gun store, that’s simply not true. SBRs and AR pistols exist and are extremely popular.

don’t compare what we did to terrorists, look at the IRA.

right, or the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Or the literal decades of combat US special operators have with the platform since Vietnam, or any other of its long, violent life. Or you can ask any of these countries, or, look into any of these use cases

Maybe don’t chime in on things you’re absolutely clueless on? I’m trying to figure out how to put this somewhat nicely but you clearly have some misguided thoughts here. And none of this comment has anything to do with the fact that, if surrounded by a pack of hungry animals, I want an AR-style rifle personally.

Anecdote time! I went to infantry basic training and we were told over and over again, if you have to draw your sidearm, you’re dead. The AR absolutely is not too bulky for close quarters and I would feel much better with one on my hand than anything else. The US army has murdered a lot of people with M4 rifles in CQC. (My politics don’t align with a stereotype of a former infantryman. Please do not assume too much)

In either situation, with adrenaline, good luck getting shots on target.

Hmm, I don’t understand the downvotes but okay lmao I’m sorry that the AR platform is actually fine in close quarters?

Double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon, the sun is still out…

I’ll have to look into it. I never had a PlayStation so unfortunately these games missed me

Hahahaha wtf is this from

So, I work in a gun store(part time), if you think bump stocks are unethical, look up(or don’t) a binary trigger. Those, as far as I know, have never been banned, and are far more effective when it comes to trying to attempt to increase fire rate.

To be honest, a lot of gun legislation is really ineffective. The amount of loopholes etc, are kinda insane. If we’re going to talk about gun legislation, it needs to be a helluva lot more than a part ban on “assault style” firearms, until then, it’s just pandering for votes imo.

(Please don’t assume I am a crazy arsenal wielding person. I actually don’t own any firearms at this moment despite my part time occupation.)

Woah. I’ve never heard of this website. Do you use it regularly? I’m blown away by the fact I just clicked a link to a recipe that doesn’t have a 2.5 page write up of the authors family, why they make the dessert, and when. Along with 4 pop up ads, a banner ad, and the inability to use an Adblock.

10/10 website. Will have to go back.

I take it all back. Clicked one other recipe. Looks like ads just don’t want to be shown with this thing either.

Ah. This blessed commenter shared the printer version. Pro move.

Ew. As an American, and a midwestern at that, I’m happy to say I’ve never heard of that, though, honestly, not that far fetched either unfortunately.

What’s that contraption you’re lookin at?

Part of me would rather have it with capitalistic sociopaths that want to extract my money rather than an authoritarian government that is provably responsible for (multiple?) genocide(s). Like, in a perfect world, there’s a better system, but at least our government still, in theory, can control the businesses within our country. They won’t though.

Yeah, definitely just a bunch of fluff. Still ridiculous that we live in a world where that happens. Then the sales manager went to the customer and goes “LoOk ThE eMpLoYeE wAs RePrImAnDeD. Still give money?👉🏻👈🏻”

Gross.
