NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

In the US, when people talk about "registered firearms" they're talking about registered fully automatic machine guns, suppressors, short barrelled rifles/shotguns. The vast majority of firearms require no registrations beyond the background check at purchase and can be sold to other private individuals without paperwork.

Canada had a long-gun registry in the 90s but discontinued it.

I was reasonably sure that was the case since my dad has never mentioned having anything registered, though mostly all he has is hunting rifles and a rather large amount of them at that. I'd guess he has around 200-300 guns honestly, dudes a serious ass collector of them.

My dad would make this era nerd shit his pants is what I'm saying.

I wonder how the spastic got the idea that "unregistered rifles" was a thing? Do you think maybe he asked whether they were registered and the guy laughed in his face? Or possibly he just made it up. He seems like the kind of guy who would be terrified even to ask as if the guy would just immediately shoot him if he did, and is about to go on a shooting spree at any moment.

They also have the misconception that owning multiple firearms is unusual, with many people owning some combination of a rifle/shotgun/pistol. Surprised he didn't complain that he has hundreds of rounds of ammunition despite a $25 brick of .22lr being 500 rounds in itself.

It's hard to believe that just a couple generations ago, the forefathers of the gun thread op did manly work and probably fought for their country. It's like an entirely different species of humans almost.

Because of ''ghost guns". Liberals who don't know any better assume that because firearms carry serial numbers, they're all in some sort of federal registry. This is why they're afraid of "ghost guns", which are just DIY AR-15s that don't need a serial number because they're a one-off homebrew.

You know, the triangulating dickhead part of the Democratic party. The part nobody has ever fucking liked.

Wait, was he the Democrat that was against guns only to be found trafficking guns for the Triads?

"new age polymers and completely undetectable" if I remember my early 90s gun hysteria correctly.

Well, only a quarter of the population owns any kind of firearm, and 3% own the majority of all of them. So yes, it is an aberration for a typical US citizen to not only own a single gun but to also own more than one.

Be pro 2nd amendment all you want, but don't get all embarrassingly wrong about the facts and sentiments like you were a Glenn Beck intern circa 2006.

Something a quarter of people do is hardly a bizarre aberration.

You may have misread my post, but I think you'll find most people who own firearms will have multiple firearms. The original implication that owning multiple is unusual, or worse than owning one.

You could argue that someone who only owns one gun might be the type of person to have one "just in case" but has no real experience using it, and represents the largest safety hazard of all firearm owning demographics.

A quarter? All the numbers I've seen point to between 40% and 50% (I think around 44% was the last statistics I've seen). Still not a majority, but it isn't an aberration for someone to own a gun in America. And in the South, where Florida is located, gun ownership is higher than other parts of the country. Now, the guy we are talking about may live in a part of Florida where people don't, for example, go hunting, or go into restaurants strapped, but he is acting unbelievably irrational for someone living in a country with gun ownership this high.

Fake news as of 2015 about 47% of Americans own a firearm and 27% own multiple firearms.

With 'whereabouts' they mean name, home address and employer?

lol nigga you dumb.

 

[Apteryx Owenii]

Well, only a quarter of the population owns any kind of firearm,

Pew research has it pegged it about 30%, but it and all surveys are handicapped since a lot of people that own a gun don't necessarily want to tell some unknown party who calls them up "why yes, I own a gun." This is especially true for illegally possessed guns.

and 3% own the majority of all of them. So yes, it is an aberration for a typical US citizen to not only own a single gun but to also own more than one.

Spoiler: percentages and shit

Even if 3% own the 'majority' of all guns in the US- and I don't know where that came from- that doesn't mean that it is particularly unusual to own more than 1. The "minority" of guns is 49% of them, that's a lot of guns. As it happens, the same study linked above has 66% of gun owners owning more than one gun.

If we do some rough math from the US population for illustrative purposes:
30% of 325million population = 97.5million
66% of 97.5 million = 64million+

So you may consider 64 million people to be an aberration by a strict definition, as it is not the 'norm.' However, bringing it back to resetera, what do you think they would say if I were to post "Well, I'm in favor of gay marriage, but because gay men and women make up well less than 10% in well-controlled studies, they are certainly an aberration."

I think he means whereabouts in the game? If I'm reading this right, he made positive posts on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which is supposed to release in three days so maybe a...copy? It's not unheard of for some to get copies ahead of time? I dunno.

But by the wording, my best take is he got a bunch of flack for saying positive things about the game, the mods noticed all the buzzing, and just to avoid being outright fucking banned he had to provide proof he was actually playing the game and show off where in the game he was to them in order to earn the privilege of publicly stating a personal opinion about it.

And even THEN he got a soft warn that prevents him from posting for 72 hours. That is some prime fucking moderation right there.

yikes tm will they ever become self aware?

Also press F for this guy for btfo their "tone policing" shit.

 

[vhstape]

You just went full Resetera.

There is no such thing as a 'registered rifle' in Florida, ergo, the term 'unregistered rifle' is completely meaningless. Every long gun is 'unregistered.'

This is why when you start by saying "kind of got to side with the resetera fags here..." you should probably pause.

Not a yank so was unaware, seems dumb they don't have to be registered but I do take back my last post now, thanks for the info

You do sound like what an American would call a Yankee (Northerner) to be fair though. They are the ones that tend to talk about guns while having no idea what they are talking about for the most part, excluding maybe somewhere like Maine.
