Crazy to me, that, this is all true, I can become the president, can’t vote for it. Assuming it’s a felony.
Edit: I have educated myself, and this is not the case. I am not a felon, do not have any experience lol I’ve just, incorrectly, heard, that you can’t vote if you’re a felon.
To your point about ASVABs, that’s the exact reason an average infantryman isn’t effective. I wasn’t sure some people could tie their own shoes, let alone handle a rifle.
Range data isn’t a flex, pog.
Yeah? Of course, a 249 is a different beast. I’m talking about the average infantryman, M4, red dot. Sure, it’s not the hardest shots in the world, the average infantryman, just isn’t very combat effective there.
Edit: stationed at Gordon tells me you’re not infantry.
Matt Little is from my home town and was my mayor for a long time. He was good. I like him. Good for him.
Never said it’s impossible. You just won’t do it. A standard (American army) infantryman has a red dot. Non magnified. With adrenaline, moving targets, trying to not die, you will not be effective at that range.
You can use overwhelming volume to suppress, but, realistically, you’re going to close the distance. In a straight up infantry on infantry engagement anyway, which is a rarity.
Edit: just realized the Star Wars reference lmfao my bad
Precision. It’s really hard to see anything at 300m with the eyes. You can’t shoot what you can’t see. You very rarely have clear sight lines out that far, and even when you do, it’s hard to put anything on a human sized target that far.
At 300 m the naked eye sees a person as about the size of a grain of rice.
Yeah also, real life, you’re not shooting 300 m very often. Your rifle may be capable of it, you’re not. With any real effect anyway.

So, at risk of sounding like an online stalker, I saw that comment while scrolling from that “50 year old woman” and it was just odd. Don’t take it too hard. Then switched feeds and saw this post.
I say this as nicely as I can, but, this place is largely a collection of nerds, social outcasts, Reddit fugitives(ie nerds and outcasts lol), and people that have been banned from Reddit. Not all or even many interactions here will be status quo.
If it negatively impacts your life, leave, if it’s a social outlet, treat it as such, and don’t take it too hard.
I agree, but, I see some parallels, a Reddit competitor that solved some of those issues, was hardly functional when they killed APIs. There was no competition. Look at us now baby! Still not competition, but, at least there’s an alternative.
I hope I can say the same about discord in a bit. There’s really nowhere for anyone to go, without losing a lot of features. Well, hopefully, talented people are going to migrate to these platforms to bring an alternative to discord.
Most of these comment have said a lot, but lemme just say, a rifle is not for “long range” while a pistol is “short” like a couple people are trying to say. Even for a shotgun. Anyway, former infantryman here. Get a 12 gauge shotgun. Get slugs, bird shot, and buck shot, you’re going to be fine in 99% of situations.
A rifle is more versatile, but, unless you’re putting the time in, it’s not worth it. However, it’s easier to handle than a pistol. Your rifle, just like your shotgun, can handle indoors just fine.
Handguns are for concealment. They’re much harder on the shooter to use, and require more time to become proficient. Short barrel length means weapon handling is down, accuracy is out the window, but, if you need a gun and you don’t want someone to know you have it, it’s your only option really.
How about we execute politicians that fuck kids?
Ah yes, the historic culture of “black” stretching from New Zealand to Africa and South Asia and South America. You know, all very monocultured.
The largest /s imaginable
He did not. Unfortunately.
Complicated. Largely can’t do it without a permit.
Minnesota you cannot. Which is where this is.
I do know how it works in Minneapolis/MN. I live here and operated a FFL that sold custom AR-15s.
I do appreciate the additional context for the rest of the country though. It is vastly different state to state.
Okay, so I built these. Professionally for a time. It’s probably a 10.5” barrel, because that’s basically the limit for a AR pistol. No one puts a pistol brace on a SBR, if you have a SBR, you’d run a normal stock.
Also, the suppressor is not included in overall firearm length. Neither is the brace.
Edit: I’ll add, what the fuck is a screw on stock? The entire buffer system runs though that tube. Nothing screws onto that. The buffer tube screws into the receiver, but, I’ve never heard of a screw on AR stock.
2nd edit: here’s a picture of my not rifle next to my rifle. Yes, it’s pedantic, but, with people wanting to learn, I want to inform.
They’re still prevalent. Just not meth.
