"We saw your post on army.ca, and have reasonable grounds to believe you may be conceiling a prohibited weapon."

I don't they envision these things for front line combat. Worst case I think would be to have to go up against FAC/FIAC/USV, in which case a coupe of 25/30mm remote guns would do the trick. Speed is less of an issue because no warship out there is actually outrunning a FAC/FIAC/USV. Their...

I remember when the Zumwalt first launched, it was amazing to see how smooth and featureless it was... Then I saw it a few years later when all the nav radars and satcom domes were installed, and yea, less cool.

Yes I was mostly referring to unregistered, non-restricted but now prohibited. I suppose if you currently own previously restricted now prohibited weapons (i.e. AR-15), AND you own previous non-restricted now prohibited weapons (i.e. M14), you might definitely be one of those target for a...

I've heard of many people (on this site, friends and acquaintances, posts on SM) who own now-restricted firearms that are planning on saying nothing and locking their guns up somewhere deep in their basement and not touching it unless they need it for the zombie apocalypse. Imagine if they...

Yea but does QV know that? Also, I hope you're happy with you're new avatar. The white background with red colouring definitely does not make me mix up your posts with QV's....

These aren't even remotely similar situations.

I thought removing those phrases made my Steelman attempt more honest. Pointing out that I thought of including them shouldnt detract from my post; actually believing what you wrote isn't a prerequisite of steelmanning.

To be fair to you and other, while I don't believe what I wrote in that post is the truth, I recognize that it COULD be the truth, or at least the truth could be in that direction. We're basically slaves to whatever each of our media sources are telling us, and the info sphere has gotten really...

I originally had phrases like "Democrat controlled liberal media apparatus propaganda" strewn throughout but thought it was too on the nose.

Or it’s possible that much of this collective outrage is being manufactured, driven less by facts on the ground and more by sustained media framing designed to provoke it. ICE officers, for the most part, are enforcing laws that already exist, addressing an immigration system that many would...

To be fair, you don't technically NEED an improved search radar to designate targets: you could settle for operators designating targets manually through the camera and joystick (SLAVE MAN).

Man, if this shooting has you feeling a little awful, then do NOT go into the r/conservative subreddit and read their responses/take on this event. It won't be good for your mental health...

Does he say in the video that it's to counter ICE? I don't think it even COULD work that way. More likely he's deploying the national guard because he foresees the people devolving into complete pandemonium and lawlessness over this.

I'm literally the only one staying on point!

Agreed. It should be easier to prevent bad, but more importantly dangerous, people from driving.

I agrees with the underlying point you are trying to make. Trying to ban semi-autos and take them away from lawful gun owners makes about as much sense as banning pickup trucks. But, along the same lines as my current argument and using your metaphor: a person with a pickup truck is more...

This brings me hope.

No. That conflates the debate and brings in whatever Trudeau said. This is still just the argument over whether a tube fed bolt action 22LR is the same level of dangerous/deadly as a higher calibre semi-automatic.

A perp that is destructive and offensive can do a lot more damage with an AR-15 or an F150 then they could do with a hammer. I can hide in a closet and lock the door and keep my self safe from the hammer, I can't keep myself safe in a closet from the AR-15. I'm sure the kids at Columbine would...
