  • I’ve heard that special forces practice aiming for the pelvis as many of the U.S.A.’s adversaries use body armor.

    The goal is to dump rounds into the pelvic bone until it breaks. Which will incapacitate their opponents and cause them to bleed out very carefully.

    Did you know you are legally allowed to buy “green tip” 223 ammo. It’s the same ammo the military uses and can penetrate up to Level IV body armor.










  • TL;DR;

    Your reply doesn’t make sense because it seems you didn’t understand what was said. (intentionally or unintentionally)

    You don’t seem to understand a lot of my reply, let’s see if we can clear some stuff

    Nobody mentioned fascists or requiring anyone to advocate for anyone else’s rights.

    The post was complaining about the 2nd amendment folks not getting upset that ICE was treading on people’s rights… Why would they? Why would you expect any other group to defend your rights.

    I’m not sure how this relates to either the original message you responded to, or your reply to it.

    You don’t seem to understand what satire is. Either the original poster was truly upset the 2nd amendment folks were not defending other people’s rights. Or he was trying to make a satirical point outlining that 2nd Amendment people had no intention of defending people’s rights and just wanted guns. I think given the context it is the latter. Satire is great when trying to convince others that the other party is wrong I.E. Gun rights advocates were possibly lying

    I will say however that a basic level of reading comprehension and good faith (the latter more than the former) would be required before i personally cared about someone’s opinion of me, laughter included.

    … Ok

    As we’ve established above, this is also unrelated.

    I’m simply pointing out that when there is need on the left to defend yourselves with firearms you’ve undermined your case. Look up videos with armed protesters or what the Black Panthers are doing to repel ICE. The police and ICE are a lot less willing to deploy excessive force or even to engage with armed individuals.

    Also, “anybody who doesn’t agree with me is a lefty” is a weak foundation for both conversation and understanding.

    I literally quoted Carl Marx what makes you think I’m not on the left? Go left enough and guns are back on the table.







  • 2nd amendment isn’t just for the 2nd amendment guys. Attacking gun rights when the left will likely need them in the coming years is short sighted.

    To attempt satire by saying that a right wing facist advocating for gun rights, is also expected to advocate for my rights is weakness in the face of aggression.

    The right doesn’t laugh at the satire, they laugh at you. You undermine your own defense with others on the left.




  • Conceal and carry holders statistically are the safest segment of society for the exact reason you just gave. I would rather be in a room full of conceal and carry holders than the general public or police.

    I was walking in a relatively safe part of downtown last month when two drunks suddenly started fighting over a dog 8 feet from me. I noped my way out of there. I had my gun on me but had no interest in intervening.

    For the vast majority who carry we don’t want to put ourselves in a situation where you have to use it.

    But yeah, I’m also sure some internet guru who has never held a gun in their life will tell me why I’m an irresponsible death machine.
