I hate when people mix up those 2 terms but I agree with Heylel 100%
It's a matter of basic competency when you can't 'pass the quiz' but throw your opinion around recklessly. And when someone does that and screws up in the only way that 100% shows them as full of shit, yeah people can call them out on it.
Haha, you can't even admit that you fucked up and didn't know the difference.
This is so true. Parks & Rec had a funny thing on a politician who was a complete robot. He could "turn on" for the camera, but otherwise was a complete fucking moron. The video Big Phoenix just posted is a great example.
I don't know. There are some, but they are very rare. I'm pretty sure it's a money thing.
Nope, I don't (or really care). I had to wiki it. Like I said, not a gun guy. You're proving my main point though, which is that it's used as a way to invalidate the opinions of people who aren't gun experts.
Sure, and why shouldn't it be used to invalidate their opinion? Why the fuck should I care what features someone thinks makes a gun "too dangerous to own" when they don't even know the basic parts of the gun? Big Phoenix's post was a great example, where the lady passed legislation banning guns with a part that she couldn't even define. Similarly how so many people think "semi automatic" means you hold the trigger and out flies dozens of bullets from the clip! (ha)
This, nobody is willing to pay for long term psychiatric care facilities, and pretty much only poor people need long term care facilities.
Killers compensate by either bringing more guns, more magazines, or they keep a greater distance from their victims.
Plus if you're filthy Montana Max rich you can never be batshit crazy, just eccentric.
Or target areas where they aren't likely to encounter armed resistance such as schools or gun free movie theaters.
