My takeaway from that post is that you cannot really think of any actual purpose for a pistol that does not involve harming a living entity and cannot be done with some other implement. Without an answer, the debate is over. You lose. I've already posted that there's worldwide sport shooting...

They are far from fine down there, that's for sure. It seems to be the way Americans want things though.

You know firearms are used in the Olympics for sport, right?

You can do all that with a lot of things, not just a pistol. I think I've told you this before, but use the internet to find out about firearms, The FACTS are out there.

Americans as a whole don't like to be told what to do, so that's part of the problem. They are also not as passive as Canadians, so any efforts to seize their property has a high probability of ending in violence. America was also founded by the gun, so it's deeply rooted in their culture...

Target shooting is older than golf by the way. So many practical uses for golf clubs too, right? The sport ain't going anywhere whether you like it or not. Show me where I said projectiles do not make any sound. Wait! You won't be able to because I never made that claim! Even subsonic...

Both your statements show you don't know anything about shooting. For the third time, suppressor use is being ENCOURAGED by European countries to cut down on noise pollution. Even in Canada, suppressor use is on the increase in an effort to reduce hearing loss, the number one claim for law...

How about you actually read the question instead of manipulating things: Originally Posted by basketcase Except a majority of Americans support greater restrictions on guns. Things like universal background checks would do nothing to law abiding gun owners but the NRA pushed paranoia has the...

I haven't changed my story. I said you can't silence a projectile, which it true. Silencer is a misleading term. A totally BS term would be a sound moderator, which is what right wing idiots want to call the thing. Calling it a silencer is propaganda since you can't silence a projectile...

Polls are not accurate. If they were, Trump would not be President. What Americans say and what they want are two different things. It wouldn't be a $43 billion dollar industry if it wasn't what they wanted. The vast majority of that is civilian sales. Law enforcement and military sales...

Silencer is a false term. You can't silence a projectile. You can only reduce the noise level. You should still be wearing ear protection when using one as it leaves most guns equipped with one louder than an ambulance siren. That's far from silent. If you've read up on the subject, you'd...

You wouldn't ask that question if you have used a handgun or lived near a range. There's not reason anyone needs a Rolls Royce or multiple flat screen televisions, but people buy them. A suppressor in no way increases the lethality of any firearm anyway, so why are you so upset about it?

It's not a silencer, it's a suppressor. Silencer is a propaganda media term to demonize it. In the U.S. they are a legal NFA tax stamp item. They reduce ear damage to the user, and greatly reduce noise pollution. They are 100% legal in some European countries so that hunters don't disturb...

The colour of Obama had nothing to do with skyrocketing gun sales under his presidency. The continuous attempts to introduce greater gun control drove gun sales. The fear of Clinton getting into office also drove gun sales. As soon as Trump was elected and people learned that no new federal...

Not sure what you are saying. I addressed the issue that the solution of less guns, which implies that Americans should have guns taken away from them. Obama holds no position in government now, so had far less influence on gun control My last statement was that any efforts to take away guns...

And Trump has made that possible. Firearms sales have been down under the Trump administration, unlike the Obama administration which saw output double. Unfortunately, thanks to Obama, the greatest gun salesman in U.S. history because of his efforts at pushing gun control, there are now 40...

You can have an opinion on the 737 that it's a shitbox. Free world. Differs from the guys I know who fly them. Most are happy they've made it into the big leagues. Kind of like this guy who preferred the 737 to the MD80...

No. I look at published FACTS. I'm not making up things I post. I don't post OPINIONS like you do on the 787 or on how aircraft evolve. Everything I've posted is verifiable. It's a FACT that the 737 is the world's most successful airliner. Find another airliner with 10,000 produced. As...

No question Boeing is at fault. Like it or not, they will survive, just like Ford with their Explorer rollovers and GM with their full size pickup gas tank problems.

You know there's been over 10,000 737's made and it is the most successful airliner of not just it's type, but any type? Pretty good for a plane that was a shitbox from the very beginning. Shitboxes don't fly for half a century in commercial service where they need to make money and have...
