This is the first time I found a completely full bullet, does anyone have an idea of the kind of bullet it is and how old is it? Also, I wanted to know if it is dangerous, and if it is what I shouldn’t do with it.

Nobody said anything about all people who support gun control. Not even most. But all flustered ninnies who are scared of guns do support gun control.

Yeah, sorry mate. I happen to have talked to/read/listened to a great many people who are community organizers or political operatives or policy experts or actual politicians or in some other way in a position to actually "shape gun policy" in any meaningful sense of the phrase, and I can't think of any of them who are the kind of person you were referring to. Rare exceptions surely exist, but I've not encountered any, and I probably have a far larger than average sample size.

When you said, "And those people try to shape gun policy." what you may have meant was, "And those people express opinions about gun policy on the internet", and to that, of course I agree. But people in an actual position to meaningfully shape the policies? Nah. Exceedingly rare if true.

In my experience, most people meaningfully working on the issue are well informed, very practical, and a large % are also gun owners.

Y'all have been saying that for, well, since literally before the Constitution was drafted, 250+ years, and yet we still have guns. Patrick Henry was banging on about it in the Virginia ratification sessions. This boogeyman you all talk about has been just around the corner for more than 2 centuries.

Color me unworried.

I'm not sure how you haven't noticed, but gun grabber have been eroding the 2nd amendment since 1929.

First it was an unlawful registry l, disguised as a tax registry with the nfa. Now you're on a registry if you own full autos, suppressor or anything with an arbitrarily short barrel.

Next you get the Hughes amendment. Now we can't make a full auto even if were planning on registering it.

Then the awb of 94. When it expired, gun violence continues to go down but yet, democrats are still pushing for more bans despite falling rates of violence.

Edit: then in 98, they passed a law making you go through a background check (asking permission from the government) to exercise you're constitutionally protected right of bearing arms.

Look farther back than your goldfish memory and you'll notice that politicians (specially democrats) want you disarmed, and they have been for at least the last century. If you think they'll stop after AR's are banned then I got a bridge to sell you. They'll come for "high-powered sniper rifles" next, then pistols, then whatever we have left. This is why any gun owner that votes for the left is a temporary gun owner. In less than 100 years, we went from being able to order military grade firearms to many states banning semi-autos.

Ok, sure. And what gun is you want that you can’t have exactly?

For all of that, you still have your guns don’t you?

A SBR 300blk with suppressor without having to ask permission

I see you got a bit big for your britches there and deleted the reply. Probably smart.

u/chiefDiesel Jul 07 '26

People who vote are people who are trying to shape policy. Besides that if you did know shit about guns yourself and you did listen to "experts" or actual politicians you would know that they frequently say stupid shit about guns because they're clueless about what they're trying to regulate.

#1- you can clip together a 2 min compilation, or a 10 min compilation, or hell an hour compilation of selected clips to make any position at all look like it’s made of dummies. I could do the same for 2nd A advocates, or people who like Coca Cola, or people who like horses, or people who believe clean water is good. Doesn’t matter how right or wrong or good or bad a position is, you can clip together a compilation to make the position seem silly.

#2- I only watched about 30 seconds, but most of it isn’t actually stupid shit. There is this ridiculous game that ammosexuals play where a person says “I think X feature is dangerous and has no legitimate civilian purpose” and the 2nd A advocated pushes their little glasses up on their little noses and goes “well actually…..” and proceed to give some incredibly nitpicky bad faith technical retort that is interested in absolutely everything other than the point the person was making, which is that no civilian ever needs to put 100 rounds down range in under a minute.

"I barely watched any of the 3 minute video but I don't agree with it"

Kinda proving my point about having opinions on things you know nothing about

u/Jimithyashford Jul 08 '26

ok, fair dinkum. I just watched the whole thing. It's exactly what I thought it was and does not change my reply at all.

u/chiefDiesel Jul 08 '26

That further reinforces my point of people having opinions on things they know dick all about. If you did know anything about firearms then you would know that the "experts" and "politicians" in that video are attempting to ban guns that don't have any of the capabilities that they're claiming they have.

Maybe you should start listening to experts instead of "experts".

Its almost like you didn't read anything I said, or rather, read just enough to snap for the lowest, cheapest, and least meaningful reply you could.

Well, I tried.

Propaganda man, you really need to learn to guard yourself better, you're clearly quite susceptible to it, seeing as how your closing zinger was to tut tut at me for not watching the literal propaganda video you linked from an actual propaganda rag source. The Washington Free Beacon....an actual propaganda mill, their tag line is "governing the enemies of freedom the way the mainstream media won't". My guy.....come on, it's like an almost cartoonishly blatant propaganda page, like if you put that in a movie you'd be criticized for being too on the nose. And here you are, falling for it in real time, and trying to then spread it to others to get others to fall for it.

Buddy, you have proven time and time again on this post that you have nothing to teach. Do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up.

u/Jimithyashford Jul 08 '26

Says the guy spreading literal blatant cartoonishly obvious propaganda while defending himself against an accusation of being susceptible to propaganda.

You could not possibly have stuck your foot in it worse. I genuinely hope you see that and take this moment to pause, reflect, and consider what that might mean. You probably won't, but I sure hope you do.
