(49,445 posts)And some really convoluted reasoning. Apparently, the Madison Avenue marketing firms using normal and expected gender-directed advertising is now somehow turning men into micro-penised cowardly Rambo idiots. Gee, good thing I didn't ask you your opinion about pickup trucks or Jeeps, isn't it?
"...the features are of course in and of themselves dangerous to have on a civilian weapon". Really? So... getting a good grip on a gun is a bad thing? Being able to adjust the gun to fit your stature and your clothing is a bad thing?
Really?
So in this world of everything being adjustable and customizable, this is not only unreasonable but extra-deadly and worthy of being banned?
You're outdated. You have this antiquated vision of guns, and expect them to stay stuck in, say, 1925 or something, where they're all one-size-fits-all, made from steel and wood, manual-action, and only have iron sights on them. That image is outdated, yet you seem to cling to this conservative (dictionary, not political) view of guns. "Guns shouldn't change! They should be the way they used to be! We need to return to a simpler time!"
Have you ever even shot a gun? Or do you just irrationally hate them without ever touching one?
I mean, think about this: do you think laser sights and flashlights should be banned from being mounted on guns?
Why or why not?
I mean, why isn't mounting a laser sight or a flashlight on a gun considered an "assault weapon" feature?
