Quaint. Sounds like those people that believed the invention of the machine gun would be the end of all wars.

He believed that gun sellers and firearms trainers had set standards that would not change.

He still alive and 94. Probably somewhat disappointed.

Probably in his wildest dreams he didn’t know that there would be a place for family outings called Bullets and Burgers:

When I was 10 age it was single shot, bolt action .22 only. The idea was that if a kid fucked up they would fuck up slowly and with a single shot. Still probably not the best idea to have me and my friend wandering alone with a .22 out in the woods but my instructor neighbor approved and we never loaded it unless we were going to shoot.

Burgers and Bullets is clearly a fetish thing. The dude's death by 9 year old girl was a sacrifice to that fetish.

But an AR-15 makes it so even an armed citizen might not have a chance to defend themselves even while toting an AR -15 at walmart.

And yet, here a man with an AR-15 was shot and killed while shooting at a crowd by a woman armed with a gun. Apparently she had more balls than the Uvalde PD and the US Marshals did when little kids were being murdered.

There is nothing magical about an AR-15. It's not a death ray, the bullet it fires isn't particularly powerful, and the vast majority of gun homicides in the United States are done with pistols, not rifles.

But if someone has homicidal intent and they decide it's your day to die, it's hard to overcome an initiative, surprise, and intent disadvantage, even if you have an AR-15 and they have a single shot rifle.
I'd whore myself out just one more time if I knew who to screw to get out of this grind.

You realise that's an own goal, right?
