I just bought a taurus G2C.
is the trigger pull and reset my favorite? No. It’s way too long on both ends. But you’ve gotta compromise somewhere when you’re cheap like me. The important thing is it’s a consistent gun that doesn’t jam (if you can handle the recoil, and I can), with good capacity, and strong enough to kill anyone threatening me.
what the heck is wrong with lemmy? if you don’t like gun memes, don’t come to the page. No need to downvote everything that isn’t your exact cup of tea.
Yes, it’s faster. But the speed up from 1.2 to .8 is not relevant, because it’s still not going to out draw someone who has the drop on you.
To be clear, I carry with one in the chamber. I advocate that others do the same, unless they have some reason not to. I just don’t like people claiming there is one and only one way to carry a gun.
Hey man, if you need some help, we’re hear for you.
You have the Russian brain rot.
Butina plead guilty to working for a foreign government, probably because she didn’t have the money to fight the battle in court. But the person whom she allegedly funnelled money from, Mr Torshin, had his investigation dropped because there wasn’t sufficient evidence.
<blockquote>At the time, Torshin was under an FBI investigation into whether any Russian money was funneled through the NRA to help Donald Trump in the 2016 election. The NRA has denied that money they gave towards Trump’s campaign came from Russia.
The FEC general counsel’s office concluded in 2018 that there was “insufficient” evidence to state that Russian money was illegally funneled through the NRA to influence the presidential campaign. </blockquote>
So now, what’s more likely: that Butina plead guilty under pressure, or that she was funneling huge amounts of money to the NRA, so much damnable tracable money that they can’t even get any credible evidence that the guy she’s getting the money from was trying to influence politics at all.
What’s much more plausible is that butina has always been a guns rights activist in russia, so her interests naturally carried over to america, and she got caught up in a bogus investigation that even the FBI admits was politically motivated.
Pictures and articles. People in Russia, presumable american citizens living abroad, pay membership dues and buy magazines, and this is the basis of the claim that Russia is using the NRA as a front for the trump campaign.
But it doesn’t matter, because it’s still not fast enough to draw from the drop, and if you’re not drawing from the drop then you have the time to rack the slide.
The NRA sold magazines about guns, totaling $2500, to Russians or american citizens living in Russia. “The NRA is literally traitors to this nation!”
The NRA VP took a vacation he paid for almost entirely himself, (with a few things written down as NRA expenses for tax reasons), in which no Russians paid him anything. “He’s peddling political influence! He’s a traitor!”
You have the russian brain rot.
I mean… I don’t love the NRA. But… Source?
That’s nice. I don’t really mind if you carry hot. I do to. I’m just bugged by the people who insist you’re going to die racking the slide when you can get a round off in barely over a second without one in the chamber. It’s not the way you carry, it’s the way you train.
I totally agree. I carry chambered myself. But the meme is more about the people who haven’t even thought about it and just repeat what they’ve been told to believe.
Frankly, when I first realized how fast your draw to first shot could be even unchambered, I seriously considered switching. And I think everyone should consider it, instead of knee jerk ridiculing unchambered carry.
Maybe. But why is Taurus analogous to having only one shoe?
Think of it this way.
Is it ethical to force someone to be a catholic, or a jew, or an atheist, or a hindu? I think you’ll agree it is unethical. Suppose we didn’t have the first amendment. Would that suddenly change the morality of forcing someone to practice or not practice a religion? I think we’ll both agree it is still not ethical.
So then, the first amendment didn’t <i>create</i> a right to freedom of religion. It <i>described</i> a right that already existed. It tries to bring legality in line with morality.
The same is true for the second amendment. Gun ownership isn’t ethical because of the second amendment. The second amendment exists because gun ownership is ethical.
Glad you got it! a MOA has such great meat on it, and it would be such a shame if it got away just wounded.
Oh good! Your the first person to approve my choice of a .950 JDJ highpoint. That’s the one I have on me.
The dorks downvoting the meme.
“lets decentralize because Reddit is a thought police chum bucket… But lets vilify those darn gun nuts for thinking differently!”
