I have a thing about boning up on firearms tech as rhetorical self-defense for dumb Facebook arguments and went on a research jag about this last week. I don’t think this is a supportable argument. People really do hunt with AR-15s, and do so because they’re better tools.https://twitter.com/emilymaxima/status/963939286474280962 …

Gun enthusiasts like to try this the other way, showing a video of someone bump-firing a rifle with a belt loop and then “ergo machine guns should be legal”.

MacBooks have a lower societal risk/reward ratio, though. (Ignoring keyboard issues.)

Is it weird that at this point, I'm okay with people wanting to go to battle with the government armed?

Argument by analogy is counterfeit. Favoring gun control is not the same thing as banning all gadgets used in a crime.

“Assault weapon” is a meaningless term. “Bolt action” is not. There’s no reason for a civilian to own any long arm other than a bolt-action rifle or a shotgun, except in special circumstances.

Let me amend that. By “no reason” I mean “No reason not outweighed by the societal good of not making mass shootings so fucking easy.”
