It’s a magazine, not a clip.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah I know it’s pedantic and I’m not a gun nut by any stretch. But here’s an example. If you were to call a trackball a mouse. They functionally do the same thing and most people would realize what you were talking about in context. But to a computer nerd, they are not the same thing.

These chuckle-fucks are not qualified by any stretch of the word. No self respecting person that has actually had gun training would act like this. It’s stupid, unsafe, unprofessional, and just makes them look like idiots which I’m guessing most are. So if you want to make fun of them and be effective to the gun nuts, it helps to use the appropriate terminology. And we need the gun nuts to realize how dangerous and unprofessional these gravy seals are.

Thats all I was trying to convey. Sorry if I came off like an asshole. I wasn’t trying to be.

Language is descriptive, not prescriptive.

As long as you understand what the word means, and it doesn't matter if it's technically distinct, then it's fine.

Modern weapons don't use clips, so unless we're talking about historical weapons, it doesn't matter.

You should know, Bill.

Everyone loves it when a pedant speaks up.

Ahhhh so incompetent it hurts. Should be easy to rout ICE with a little organized response. Maybe 18 foot spears? Or a wall of men with firearms and camo as well. Could maybe then be on respectful speaking terms with our lovely friends here.

Why not both? Bring back pike & shot!

He even looks like Mr. Mackie, South Park needs to parody this one

Skinny jeans, bald, glasses. I look just like this mf. He out there spending his 30's making a fool of himself I'm out here being the cute twunk doing mutual aid. 😌💅

30s? Dude looks 50+. I hope you take care of your skin.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

That POS should be recycled for releasing the magazine and wearing reading glasses.

I saw this video... He didn't even pick the clip up. He stands up and points it at everyone, then continues to stand for five or more minutes with the clip still not in.

He’s just there for the flex and the signing bonus.

Good god, we have really failed at being parents to our parents.

grandpa should be spending time with his grandchildren.

Dude looks like he should be retiring from teaching high school tech-ed class in a couple years

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

why tf would he even point a gun in first place at something he is not intending to shoot? he was rewarded with a paid leave after this incident

As long as he's loyal to Trump and a piece of shit human being he's one of their best.
