YES we have too much gun violence in this country, but it has been DECREASING since the mid 80’s such that the gun crime rate now is HALF of what it was in the mid 80’s. Panic mongering in the media and ill-informed articles have the sheeple believing that the gun crime rate is soaring exponentially higher every year, when the FACTS show quite the opposite.

YES there is way too much gun violence in this country. Placing more laws on the backs of people who are NOT committing those crimes will do NOTHING to change that level of violence. According to the FBI website, over half of ALL gun violence is gang/drug related. Over 90% of all “children” (under 18) who are victims of gun violence is gang/drug related. We don’t have a gun problem we have a gang problem. Remove gang/drug violence from the stats, and this nation has a comparable gun crime rate with the UK.

Thank you, Bar. I appreciate your input and you really bring a lot to this conversation.

I guess in terms of my question, it's a sort of mutual respect. Like, being incredibly thankful for the hard work officers do in this country and the respect from the police of your constitutionally protected rights.

But seriously, you bring up a lot of good points, thank you for chiming in.

ya man. she was a good dog. 😦

also what's with the paragraphs of text, too early for this much reading

I get up at like 2

Workout

better yet, we have a population capable of defending itself in times of crisis when the police can't do their jobs effectively

i dont know how to get my thoughts out in a concise manner. :/

lol you're good I'm just joking

ik xD

I finally finished the paper i was doing on gun control

it comes up to around 6 pages, 7 including the Bibliography

Nice

https://youtu.be/FI--wFfipvA I need this for Christmas

https://youtu.be/Z3_eEO0Cvwg oh yes daddy please yes yes. Mmmm

The Japanese: "What's that whirring sound?"

I bet its great! care to share it? if not, I understand.

im gonna be honest im not that confident with my writing skills

They’ll investigate that but not political corruption.

eh, no problem spicy. neither am i. I really dont like sharing my essays with people either, so its cool. :)

I was always told by my English professors that I was too short so I kept trying to make them shorter while saying the same thing

yes samee. It was fun at private school, b/c they assigned us 2000 word essays. made it super easy for me, but when I switched to public school, my teachers said "i only have time to grade a 600 word essay, and know i probably wont even read more than the first paragraph." :\

I'd like to read it, just to see if you hit the same points I've thought about.

it mostly just does the basics, like for example, with the whole thing about banning or restricting guns not really reducing the amount of crime and that any reduction of crime was already happening

then theres also the fact that no nation would be capable of invading a country with an armed population especially the size of the US

i think i also mentioned a few common things like the whole Detroit, chicago and New york having some of the highest crime rates, despite having the strictest gun laws

Does a 30 cal can work on a 30-06 or are the pressures to much

Don't think they work

You got 30 cal, 30-06, 30-30

I don't really know

30-30 uses a .308 cal bullet, so you can a put a .308win can on a 30-30. keep in my, 30-30 pressures are lower or equal to a .308win though, and that is why usually safe. I * believe * 30-06 is also loaded with .308 bullets, however, like Winchester said, the pressure will be far higher. idk much about cans, but ik you need to verify that the can is rated for the pressure of a 30-06 or higher if you intend to use one.

Mostly for safety match barrels with there counterpart cartridges

as for 30-30, here is where i can dork out a bit. <:KEK:726877368601411624> the 30-30 designation stands for 30 cal (American 30cal *usually* = .308 ) loaded with 30 grains of smokeless. ofc, that was the original smokeless powder Winchester was using, and it varies from load to load based on powder type, bullet size, and case length, amongst other things. Guys that have single shots or stacked-mag guns often load .308 spitzers in 30-30 cases for better accuracy too, where as most 30-30 specific bullets are the same diameter as .308win bullet, just with a blunt nose for use in a tubular mag. ofc, grain weight also comes into play, and is probably the thing that limits compatibility of bullets between 30-30, .308win, and other similar cartridges the most. e.g., you would not want to put something like a 250 grain AP bullet into a 30-30, as 30-30s were never intended to throw that much weight, nor would you be able to get the velocity required to actually do anything with it, but that is probably common sense. xD

If anyone's looking for a cool gun related gift my gal just gave me a CZ themed mug from this site. I'm gonna pour some choice alcohol in it and enjoy.
