Doesn’t seem like the people for any kind of real gun reform are over in the gun thread, purposefully cunting it up. Everytime one of those cunts posts here, a Dick gets posted over there.

So your answer to folks that enjoy shooting sports is to post a picture that apparently you deem offensive? I think this says a lot more about you than folks that like guns…
It isn’t a good look for you.

I don’t find the Dick pic to be offensive. Wieners are just as hilarious as they think any talk about gun reform is.

It doesn’t take much to see that analogy only divides people, and that you will get nothing from people if you treat them that way.

For sure there is negligence in storing firearms etc, and we need stricter laws etc. but mostly we need to enforce them.
But you can’t compare an asshole who leaves a pistol unsecured in his glove box with someone who loses their shit and shoots up a school.
Try that, and the conversation will immediately end every time.

I found out today you have to be 21 to buy a suppressor from a dealer but I can sell one privately to an 18 year old.
Let's get some more of these common sense gun laws on the books... Because they make sense...
These people are an embarrassment. The gun control movement is so fucked.

Gun industry guy writes about the marketing transformation from ‘hunting and home protection’ to ‘tactical’ ammosexual cosplaying fantasies: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...hooter/670621/
the marketing effort has become only more addicted to conspiracy-theory-fueled political partisanship. One new company, Live Q or Die, began trading on the QAnon cult by selling Q-branded AR-15s (the letter is stamped on the lower receiver of this model advertised on the company’s website
Another company, Palmetto State Armory, has used imagery clearly designed to appeal to the Boogaloo Bois, which the FBI has identified as a far-right, domestic terrorist threat, with products such as this AK-47-style pistol decorated in a “Big Igloo Aloha” pattern that closely resembles the group’s signature aloha shirts.

Please don't believe everything you read. Q was started before the Q-Anon nonsense. What you are doing is spreading misinformation.
https://www.instagram.com/unpossible_by_q/ Its literally listed at the top of their IG. Do a little research.
As far as the new company’s name in concerned, Kevin’s been thinking about it since the early days of AAC.
“When I started AAC, it was early enough that the domain name ‘aac.com’ was actually available but I wanted something descriptive and powerful, so I went with ‘Advanced Armament’ and bought ‘Advanced-Armament.com.’ It was a pain in the ass to type out, and engraving that whole thing on firearm receivers was annoying.
“This time I wanted something short and simple. I wanted the company to be professional, but I also want it to be young and cool. Something that I could easily stylize and wouldn’t take up much space when engraved on a receiver.”
I pressed Kevin on what the Q stands for, asking if it had anything to do with fictional British spy James Bond’s clever clogs quartermaster. He wouldn’t budge.
“I haven’t told anyone what it stands for, and I don’t think I ever will.”
Ultimately, what Q “stand for” depends on the products it produces."I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I think there's something to be said for that" -One For The Road

I’ll agree that Q was started before all the bullshit. But saying anything but the Fix isn’t tactical in nature isn’t being genuine and you know it.
Regarding the Honey Badger:
Both the rifle and the cartridge used were developed in close co-operation with American Special Operations units to create a suitable and effective replacement for the HK MP5 and similar close quarters combat weapon systems. The rifle is designed to be very convenient for military use where M16s are issued and in common use, since many similarities would exist in the fire controls, weapon manipulation, and magazines. Despite the weapon being integrally-silenced, it can be made even quieter by using 220 grain subsonic .300 Blackout ammunition.[2]
Kevin Brittingham, the founder of AAC, wanted to design a weapon which had the ease of use of an AR-15, but the portability of an MP5.[3]
The Honey Badger was developed with a standard M4 upper and lower receiver, a short barrel with a very short gas impingement system and fast rate of rifling twist, integrated detachable customized silencer, and a proprietary buffer tube and collapsible stock featuring two prongs.[2] Whilst with the added silencer, it is 7.62-15.24 cm longer than the MP5SD, the mass is nearly identical unloaded.[3]

Yep. I've got one. Still seems more like a Ferrari than a work truck to me.
They're about 6k too, so they're not really the gun of choice for many.
Regardless, that story is bullshit and annoying."I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I think there's something to be said for that" -One For The Road

The main point made by the article is describing the shift in gun marketing from hunting, target shooting, and responsible self-defense to targeting young men who know no better in order to exploit their fascination with guns.
The fact that your Q guns quoted text explicitly says their marketing approach is "young and cool" and that the name Q is purposely ambiguous “I haven’t told anyone what it stands for, and I don’t think I ever will” reinforces the point. Instead of so called spreading misinformation, the Q guns example illustrates the "dramatic transformation that has taken place in the U.S. gun market."
While you might find the article annoying, your own quote shows the how firearms industry through its advertising fuels dark fantasies.
