Rittenhouse Found Not Guilty on All Charges

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic you sound like a video game gun expert.

@MethDozer Why? Based on the possibility that due to my age I've likely played video games? Yes I have, but I've also shot guns, I've taken gun safety courses, I've learned about guns and I enjoy watching Texan gun channel Youtubers.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Our soldiers are generally encouraged to keep their rifles in semi-auto outside of very specific scenarios. Aside from suppression (generally the job of the machine gunner), full auto just wastes billets.

If your average mass shooter had full-auto we’d likely see less casualties on average.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic I should have said Guntuber as well.

No because of the types you talk about and because of the half accurate things you are saying. Such as semi-auto bs full auto. Frontline troops who aren't dedicated marksman still use their weapon in semi-auto over 75% of the time. Full auto isn't given to front line soldiers and police officers because it is more effective time than semi auto. I'm fact the opposite is true. The only time full auto is really used in cases where one is trying to lay down suppressive fire. Other than that semi-auto is the way to go.


You just clearly have more experience watching firearms than actually using or understanding them.

@QuixoticSoul Full auto is good for what they call "target rich environment"

[/quote] I couldn't disagree more, mass shooters do just that, shoot masses, more rounds being shot in less time means a bigger chance that spray of bullets hit more people, you do semi auto when you're trying to hit what you're aiming at, not a priority of massshooters as far as I've known.

@MethDozer I didn't say frontliners use their weapons in full auto, I said that they use FULL AUTO VERSIONS, that means weapons CAPABLE of fully automatic fire, please go read properly before you come back with a half assed answer thinking you know jack shit.

You're making another logical fallacy arguement because I never said that.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Yet even in a target rich environment your usually better off using semiautomatic and making calculated shots over pray and spray.

@MethDozer What exactly confuses you, these quotes of what I said don't prove what you said to be true, I stand by my point. You're just bitter that I'm not on your side so now you think you know more and want to get one over me. Pshhh

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Ummm.. The principle of the M16 (the basis of the AR15 and the 5.56 ammo is a tumbling projectile that breaks up on impact in the body..Just saying.😷

@MethDozer Calculated shots on what you genius? Someone who has no target? Someone who wants to hit anyone? What do you calculate when you're aiming at everyone and no one specific?

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic You can still let off several rounds a second with a semi-auto rifle and actually control where they go. Outside of certain exceptions like that Las Vegas shooting, mass shooters do tend to have to choose targets.

@whowasthatmaskedman So you're saying that you'd rather get shot with a 20 gauge up close than a 5,56?

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic You're an angry little thing aren't ya?

I know what you said, what it implies, and I know your type and your types inaccurate misunderstanding of the real shooting world because they watch to much youtube and videogames.

Again they give full auto capability so they can provide occasional suppressive fire. That's the main use and reason they often(not always) ha e the ability yet it is used at a small fraction of semi auto fire.

You want to get in on shooting and firearms debateswith me go ahead because I been around them and shooting them longer than you been alive.

@QuixoticSoul Tend? Based on what? You want to shoot everyone but you want to hit certain people, what?

@MethDozer You're the only one who's getting angry bud, telling me I'm inaccurate, know things only from video games so on and so forth. You really stick to suppressive fire, this is not a warzone, you're not covering anyone, it's a deranged idiot with a gun who wants to do as much damage as possible before they get shot down, the reason that mass shooters use semi automatic weapons is because that's what's the most easily available. But do go on, get angry and get emotional over you opinion, get off your high horse.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Look at most of our mass shootings where the psycho has an intermediate cartridge rifle. There are very few of them where full-auto would have made the situation worse.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Now there is a stretch.. No. I am saying I would prefer a kid with problems not be able to get hold of a gun and ammo and turn up in a riot looking for trouble. But its now a perfect world is it.. As it happens I do know a School teacher "walking around" (she spends most of her time in a chair) with 9 00 buckshot pellets in her back from a twelve guage. It not about the firepower. Its about the intent of the person holding it and the sick society that allows it to happen. I just doubt there is enough sanity left in the US now.😷

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic If you absolutely want to kill the most people you can - stuck to semi-auto.

@whowasthatmaskedman But you know that kid wasn't looking for trouble and would not have harmed anyone if he was not attacked. You know he chose to ran, don't you acknowledge that?

@QuixoticSoul Even if they are closely gathered like in let's say the Las Vegas shooting?

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Nah dude you've literrally been spazing out on two threads on several reply chains on this. All the while making strawman fallacies while stating others have been.

Also you're missing my point of semi auto vs full auto in response to you. The point being semi-autos work just fine for mass shootings.

Now qhere I do agree with you is that the only reason the AR platform shows up in them so much is due in respect to the sheer popularity of them in just about everything because it is a modern domestic design.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic That is the big exception that proves the rule - an incredibly specific scenario that required a concert and a dozen different guns to accomplish. That’s not how things tend to go.

@QuixoticSoul So you'd say that mass shooters wouldn't pick places that are packed with people? It seems like the obvious choice.

@MethDozer And you keep getting more and more emotionally attached to your opinion to the point that you (already) used strawmen arguments and keep on replying to me even if my conversations don't include you because you're getting all worked up. Making assumptions, trying to get to me, cherry picking arguments. Why don't you just let it go man, it's not good for your nerves. I'm young, I have plenty of nerves to spare.
