[Loud Whispers]

We are going on a picnic today, with family friends we haven't seen in years. This is going to be great!

We are going to an old growth forest. It looks just like my homeland.

Old growth forests are just... Healing for lack of a better word. Everything about them just looks and smells right

Our wild boars are legit radioactive because they keep eating mushrooms and tuber roots contaminated with buried chernobyl radiation so if you keep a geiger pig counter on you, you should be safe from anomalies and blowout pigs

should be

Well, in the US they have automatic weapons in case you need to shoot 20-30 feral hogs so at least they're safe.

Nothing heals the yankee soul quite like reenacting the wholesale forest slaughter scene from Predator.

...we actually don't have automatic weapons.
They're called semi-automatic, because you gotta pull the trigger 20-30 times to shoot 20-30 feral hogs.
Damn Democrats 

[Egan_BW]

As opposed to automatic, where you pull the trigger once and turn a single feral hog into swiss cheese and then the other ones gore you.

Or, indeed, annihilate the crowd at a country music festival in Las Vegas.

The incident is the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in American history. It focused attention on firearms laws in the U.S., particularly with regard to bump stocks, which Paddock used to fire shots in rapid succession, at a rate similar to that of automatic firearms. Bump stocks were banned by the U.S. Justice Department in December 2018, but the constitutionality of the ban remained under review until 2022, when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.

So, going away from the crazy, since someone had to ruin the fun, we don't have automatic weapons in the US, and those moving towards automatic are being regulated.

[hector13]

There are automatic weapons in the US that pre-date the ban on automatic weapons that you can still legally purchase, and it is laughably tragically easy to modify semi-automatic weapons into automatic weapons or, as in the case of Las Vegas because lol semantics, effectively automatic.

Guns ain’t fun brah. Number 1 killer of kids in the US.

... just to check, but you're aware, like. That second link is saying exactly what hec did?

Still, happy thread ain't the place for another argument on 2nd amendment, regardless of how relevant it isn't considering it's actual history. Take it somewhere else, probably.

It’s almost as though you have immediate access to a device that can readily search and tear my claims in seconds!

Like cranking a hellfire trigger firing bullets out of a semi-automatic gun that does not make it automatic and thus isn’t illegal because the ATF definition of an automatic firearm is one that fires multiple bullets with a single trigger pull.

Point, and also, from your own link that you clearly didn’t read:

The overall increase in U.S. gun deaths since the beginning of the pandemic includes an especially stark rise in such fatalities among children and teens under the age of 18. Gun deaths among children and teens rose 50% in just two years, from 1,732 in 2019 to 2,590 in 2021.

Edit: you even edited in links proving my position brosephine, and a link that doesn’t even make sense because it’s about Covid.

This discussion really belongs in the ameripol thread

I mean it kinda died after EJ proved my position so… happy days? Happy days.


I have got to the point of watching, in order, historic WWF PPVs that they happen monthly, so the storylines should flow a bit better, and we’re getting closer to the Attitude era, and also moving away from talent that doesn’t actually have any.

I’m also quite bemused that the directors appear to not be “smartened up” (aware that the wrestling is pre-determined) and sometimes show a wrestler blatantly blading (cutting themselves with a blade to start bleeding) instead of literally anything else for the short time it takes them to cut themselves open.

Ah well. The Undertaker remains my favourite, as an excellent wrestler and for the spectacle of his entrances. Not sure he has the mic work down pat yet, but Paul Bearer’s melodramatic performances are welcome until he gets there.

Roll on to the Montreal Screwjob continues…
