  • Also easier to work on than most guns.

    Also just a note:

    high use among right-wing folk,

    Is because

    it’s the gun everyone has…they work. Customizations and spare parts are cheap, effective, and widely available. So are good magazines, which are typically a shockingly difficult part to design well and the place where many otherwise decent guns fail. .223 Remington has one of most varied supplies of ammunition on the market, …also easier to work on than most guns.

    Of course lol. This “the right wingers like it so boo” mentality some (not you ykwim) have is bonkos, they also like water y’know?


  • You joke, but carry and purchase laws were literally created to stop black people from carrying or purchasing X locally “restricted” item, but over time some areas stopped using them that way and got more permissive about it, some areas started making it harder for everyone so at least it isn’t racist but fuck everybody, and some areas still use what laws are in place for their intended purpose (see: North Carolina recently took away their pistol purchase permit requirement, but before they did 60% of denials were to african americans.)

    It very well might be no guns for gays/trans, it would just be worded differently as “concealed carry permits” or “purchase permits” that “require review” by the local authorities including your social media as many advocate for or medical history (that one may be harder because HIPPA but would be called “mental health checks” officially, requiring you to sign a waiver when applying for the permit.) Or by using all that data that people who “have nothing to hide” are freely giving to companies that sell it to the NSA, “sorry our database says you visited the local gay bar ‘buttchuggers’ a whole bunch, we don’t think you’re morally fit to own firearms and have denied your request.” It could happen. Will it? Who knows, but they did it to a different group before and could very well do it again.

    On the plus side they can’t fuck with their own base too hard, so we probably don’t have to worry about some of that any time soon like the mental health checks. Anything already in place like CCW permits however can safely be abused, and blamed on the democrats if anyone in their base even cares (as they won’t be further affected by abuse of the existing laws than they already are.)
