#firearms

1 message1 participant1 message aujourd’hui

I went from going to #firearms ranges at least once a month to disliking almost all firearms. I'd never use a #handgun again. If I ever used any firearms again, it would be a #rifle & only out of genuine necessity - not 'just for fun'.

I abhor firearms for the most part now because of a few reasons. I disliked the misogynistic shit at ranges a lot. I disliked the racism/bigotry in many firearms addicted social communities. I didn't like the egos of many in those communities. I don't believe I need a firearm to actually defend myself against a home invader - which is the excuse many people use to obtain one or more guns. I don't like the environmental pollution that spent ammo leaves on the lands - most people don't pickup their casings at ranges or outside of ranges.

I can shoot several different firearms well. I have access to a few firearms. I just choose not to use any of them anymore.

Lawyers for #Mexico argue that US #GunManufacturers & gun dealers are complicit in what they call an “#IronRiver” of #firearms pouring into the country & arming #cartels. They point to strict controls on gun purchases in Mexico, where civilians are not allowed to purchase the types of rapid-fire, powerful military-style weapons favored by the cartels, as evidence that as many as half a million firearms are smuggled from the #UnitedStates into Mexico each year.

ProPublica: Targeted: How Cambridge Analytica Used Intimate Data to Exploit Gun Owners’ Private Lives. “For years, some of America’s most iconic gun-makers turned over sensitive personal information on customers — without their knowledge or consent — to the gun industry’s main lobbying group. Political operatives then employed those details to rally firearms owners to elect pro-gun […]

3 weeks ago, the #DOJ was emphatic: #Trump may have pardoned Kentuckian Dan Wilson for #crimes he committed at the Capitol on #Jan6, but that #pardon did not extend to his unrelated conviction for illegally storing #firearms at his home.

Then, on Tues, the US atty in DC [#EdMartin] reversed course, saying it had “received further clarity” about Trump’s true intent, which included pardoning Wilson for the #gun case. Prosecutors did not explain how they arrived at this new “clarity.”
