And I don’t remember him ever disregarding “cold facts.” His personal experience can’t possibly be entirely different from reality in the first place, because they really happened, in reality. They (in his mind and memory) are “cold facts.”

When statistics say that 87% of people do thing “X” and he says that’s bullshit because thing “Y” happened to him instead, and therefore ignores the fact that he’s in the 13% and acts like he’s in the 100%…yeah, he disregards cold facts. Cold facts in reality and cold facts in his mind were two different things.

Good folk - please lay off using words like ‘dick’ when criticising or critiquing fellow members.

What about when referring to Trump or the nut in N. Korea?

I’d go with following the rules and guidelines of the site and any that the OP has specified for the thread.

You just confirmed that they’re members here!

Double post

You may need to go see your doctor about that mate 😉

He’s beautiful the way he is!

Reported.

This 538 series on gun deaths in America from last year is worth revisiting.

Every single one of husezni’s posts made me want to punch babies.

Actually, just one baby in particular: the one with his face on it.

Hopefully he’s the baby and he didn’t actually breed. I’d feel sorry for the world and the child both.

All the presidents between Theodore and Donald that they could have named a bear after, and they choose that one.

ironically, when discussing gun control in the past, I brought my concern about bump stocks. Unfortunately, my concern was justified. I would be curious what Ferris would say.

You were actually the first person I thought of when I saw this video, because I remember you asking me what I thought of bump fire stocks.

The gun community consensus is that a “Gat Crank” was used here (basically a little crank handle you attach to your trigger guard and crank like “ye olde gatlinge gune” in order to actuate the trigger faster than your finger likely could [but not as fast or as smoothly as an actual automatic weapon]), but the basic objective remains the same: simulate automatic fire with a semi-automatic weapon for fun at the range.

It annoyed me because A. I knew this was going to happen, and B. I hate things like that because the gun rights issue is contentious enough without people deliberately going in and stretching the rules and trying to see what they can get away with in a legal grey area, because then we end up in this kind of situation where something has to give and a lot of the time what gives are our rights.

Hopefully we see a nice ATF ban on Gat Cranks and Bump Fire Stocks and that’s the end of it. Good riddance.

Welcome back, btw.

JEDIT: Just looked at the pictures of the guns and it actually looks like a bump fire stock rather than a Gat Crank. Whoops.

I agree both Gat Cranks and bump fire stocks should be banned.

I think that most people would agree. Banning fully automatics but not bump stocks and cranks seems like an oversight, to me.

And welcome back, Warb 😃

There is no way I would display that bear with the American flag.

Thankyou.

What is even happening?!?!

For the first time in over a decade, the American Bar Association has rated a federal judge nominee “not qualified”. I expect that slow pace should pick up over the next few years.

I totally read that as “American Bear Association” and almost thought this was about Trumpy Bear.

No self-respecting bear would associate with that orange bastard.
