I think it was during the 2012 election when Biden got on TV to talk about guns. He said the AR wasn’t useful for home defense, and a sensible person would buy a shotgun so they can shoot through the door if they hear something on the other side. I’m not even embellishing. He tried to relate to gun owners by telling them to shoot through walls at unidentifiable targets.

That shirt is the best campaign advertisement for Donald Trump I have ever seen.

My assumption is that if you own an AR-15 any firearms at all, you have it under lock and key or live in a secluded area.

Fixed that for you.

 

[The Last Stand]

Fixed that for you.

Legally, I may add.

 

[heyitsmike]

I absolutely hate the argument that an AR-15 is overkill for self defense.

If I'm in a situation where I need to use a weapon to defend myself, I don't want a fair fight. If someone breaks into my home with a revolver, do you think I want a revolver? Nah, I want a semi-automatic, a shotgun or a rifle. I'm not trying to even the odds for the other guy and give him a chance. I mean, Hillary sure as hell didn't even the odds for Epstein.

The absurdity of the argument is even worse considering that the people making it would never do so in a military situation. We don't ever say, 'Well this country doesn't have our missile technology or advanced weapons like the flying ginsu (more info), so I guess we won't use ours.' Having weapons our enemies don't is the goal.

A revolver would be more "quick-draw", as you would only need one hand to at least operate.
A shotgun, you'd need to account to distance and recoil along with spread.
A rifle is better long range. Maybe if he was running away, you may have a change.

If you're in a conflict on the street, preparing an AR-15 would take a lot of time. A handgun would be more veritable in that situation.

Obviously the situation matters. If I had a security camera on my property that alerted me when someone entrudes and I see some antifa dudes sperging out the night Trump gets reelected because they don't like my Trump sign in the yard, why even let them get close enough for a handgun when I can reach out and touch them with an AR-15?

Edit: Forgot to mention sawed-off shotguns, which are primarily used for defense.

Shotguns work differently in the real world than they do in videogames. Spread and distance don't matter quite so much in a world where you don't have an HP bar, the only thing that matters is that a shitload of pellets just put a hole in the wall beside you. Similarly, a revolver is a little clunky to reload compared to an AR-15, especially if you're just a casual firearms owner who doesn't frequently practice reloading. It's a bit harder to shove 6 new bullets into the cylinder compared to just smacking in another magazine if for some reason the last 20-30 bullets didn't get the person in your house or yard to decide that fucking off was a good idea.

I'm not trying to be mean, but do you actually own any guns?

 

[The Last Stand]

I don't own any firearms, no. Gun discussion was brought up because of the many mass shootings happening in the United States.

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

Of course the guy that doesn't own any guns thinks he knows what guns are best for different situations and also wants certain ones removed from the market.

Sounds like most democratic party politicians.

 

[Vorhtbame]

I personally just find it hilarious that the same people (a.k.a. "feminists") who claim they want to make me "equal" to men are still in a hot hurry to take away the one weapon that actually does make me equal to a male attacker. Superior speed and upper-body strength mean nothing if I can maim or kill you from across the room.

But as populated as leftist bastions are with actual rapists, I suspect that's the idea.

 

[The Pink Panther]

That's an interesting notion.

Most people who are pro-gun control (what I mean is not background checks and the banning of certain guns that already exists, but buyback programs or whatnot) are the ones where the only exposure of guns they have are the stereotypes persuaded not only by leftist media outlets, but of Hollywood, where a gun is only used to kill people for the benefit of being a killing weapon, and not really as a defensive mechanism. I mean you can argue that people who have a gun in most films (I'm particularly referencing James Bond when we wields a pistol or whatnot; spy or action films can pretty much fit my generalization of films) use it as their only line of defensive other than physically, but the gun is often seen as a killing tool. Any type of gun, even the ones that are merely made for defense like pistols or handguns or hunting rifles or ARs.

Rarely do you ever see a positive view of a gun used as a defensive tool in films unless it's like a home scene or whatever, assuming that the general populace mostly generalizes guns as a killing machine to kill other people. I bet the only view that the modern lefty has of what a good use of a gun could be is, well, this:

The only people that are anti-gun are the ones who take in these common stereotypes and not consider what a gun is actually created for. Scarily enough, media-created (whether be news, film, or television) stereotypes are what most people base their politics off of most of the time...which is kind of fucked.

I've always loved that argument and similarly always been baffled as to why carrying a gun in your purse isn't just Feminism 101 for that very reason. You can be 8 feet tall and pumped up with every steroid on the planet, but if the woman points a gun at your head and pulls the trigger, absolutely none of that matters. Firearms are the great equalizer and the perfect deterrent against would-be attackers for women, and yet every feminist I've ever met in my entire life is steadfastly against owning a firearm.

I've never understood it.

 

[breadandcircuses]

Off Topic, but here's a video from Paul Harrell about his thoughts on home defense guns.

More off topic, but revolver vs autoloader if you're going to use one for home defense, I'd recommend going to the range and practicing a 2 Round Reload drill. You don't need to load up a full cylinder if you can reliably put lead down range on target.

One more thing I'd like to mention about this, going on you saying that they are the great equalizer is that a gun could be quite useful for some of these activist or political pundit types. Particularly if they're hated. What if one of these crazy-ass people who they disagree with or someone who they betrayed comes over to their location and tries to get 'em. What's gonna be their line of home defense to stop the threat?

 

[breadandcircuses]

Also, I would like to point out that while I do not own a gun, I do know how to shoot.

And count me among those that don't understand feminists not wanting guns or whatever. It doesn't even need to be a big gun, too! .32 ACP is quite the equalizer (it's considered underpowered, but c'mon. Getting shot is getting shot).

That would be actually doing something and taking control of the situation, and as we all know, those types just want something to bitch about.

 

[Flexo]

How much you wanna bet VP Pence didn't even get charged? and Trump told Pence "Nah Mike, go to my hotel. I will call ahead get you the best room, with the best view and the best food. Don't even worry about the bill, Have the steak Mike it is the best."

Actually not true. Bryon York (who is @It's HK-47 spirit animal) actually did the work of a journalist and ran the numbers down. The prez, vice, and personnel got a cheaper rate at the hotel than any competitor in the area, but they were still charged.

Also something brought up about the airport that's relevant? It's one of the few in the area that are open 24 hrs a day.

I wonder what else is defined as "black and scary", yet people can't stop to think about?

Are you still on this idea that there's systemic racism against blacks in America?
