Re: Another Mass Shooting: It's Those Darn Video Games!

- Facts presented.
- You: Random observation in the name of just asking questions.
- Everyone else: prove theory wrong.
- You: Question random observation as non-existant.
- Everyone else: Point out your antics.
- You: DEFLECT! DEFLECT! DEFLECT!!

I also love the fact you (Sic) would rather point out I posted the internet equivalent of Charlie Brown saying "Augh!" instead of refuting *any* of the math or stats of the weapon that you have such deep knowledge of and I had to resort to random Google searches.

So... the math is right then?

I have a friend who lives in rural Cass County ND. His local* sheriff's office (SO) field deputy has recommended to him that he purchase a KSG Bullpup because of drug traffic and worse in rural parts of the county where they live. Called it a home defense stalwart. (Joe Biden would be proud.)

That thing has two on-board fixed magazine tubes each holding seven 3" shells, plus one in the firing chamber. That's 15 rounds, no reloading.

But you can load it with mini (1.75") shotgun rounds and it'll work just fine. But you'll have almost 30 rounds, no reloading.

That's what a local LEO is telling citizens (to buy) where I live.

YMMV.


*Relative term; he's 20 miles away; main SO office is 45 miles away in Fargo.

With what passes for law enforcement officers these days, taking advice from them is probably not as useful as you think. Besides, they're in the business of drumming up fear so we all feel like they have the most dangerous job in the whole wide world. And of course if we're all living in fear and wetting our pants at the thought of how the next stranger I see is a big bad drug dealer I'll be sure to support yet another increase in my local property taxes to pay for the $75,000 modified SUVs for them to tool around in instead of the $67,000 version.

You sound like 90% of the gun nuts I've met in the last decade. Your guns are there to express what a powerful man you are. I find that sad.

I've been thinking about getting one of those little small caliber purse pistols with a snub nose and a hair trigger. What does that say?

To pull that fast (41 in 30) there was no shooter's methodology, just spray and hope you hit something.

TFW you lay out an amazing predicate for why these guns should be banned because they're not useful for hunting nor are they reasonable for self defense.

I don't claim knowledge of that particular weapon.

When I hear 41 in 30, or as I said,

41 rounds in 30 seconds? That sounds like it was (illegally) modified to be fully automatic. (Full automatic firearms are strictly licensed and controlled under Federal law.)

I am surprised. Most civilian weapons would jam or overheat at that rate of fire unless ... modified.

Can 41 in 30 be done. Yup.

So what's your point?

I'm pretty sure a practiced revolver shooter could put out 41 rounds in 30 seconds*, and that would involve 6 reloads.

Revolver. (But again, heat would be an issue.)

So revolvers are not useful for self-defense?


*The world record is for 12 revolver shots (fire six shots, reload, fire six shots from 1 revolver) is under 3 seconds.

I live where there are animals in the countryside that see you as a threat (in the case of momma moose), or prey*. That's why I carry.

I find target shooting relaxing as it forces me to clear my mind and focus on the task at hand. It's a recreational hobby for me.

I have my concealed carry permit because (a) I'm not an open carry fan, and (b) if it's not in my vault I want it under my control and not locked in a vehicle.


*Heck, the predators are going out of rural Cass County into subdivisions. That was under 2 miles from a sibling's house. Meow.

How about this, we get rid of the weapons of war that serve no purpose other than to paint the streets red and then we can have discussions about world class revolver shooters?

What processor do you use for those 30-50 feral hogs you bag?

You have to carry because of a f-ing moose? Lol dude, just don’t get in between mama and babies and you’re fine. Give your balls a tug.

Heck, the park that has our main soccer complex has black bears all the time and nobody uses a gun.

Seriously, put the gun down and give your balls a tug.
