In Phoenix, Arizona? Yes. That is yet another way we can spot those who don't belong here - if they stop and do a double take, or sometimes nudge their companion... time to send them back home.

He's just bitter because he got reamed (ha ha) by some people earlier for making a rape joke.

He's not the one that got reamed, in fact no one did. Also, Spex was really nice about sorting the issue out. I'm sure he wouldn't be bitter about it...would you Spex?

Something about the statement made me think it was funny that bullets would pass out the immediate theater of conflict and do unknown damage elsewhere. Why would I think it's funny? Oh teah - must've been the smilie.

Not bitter. I just have a personal rule that when someone in a glass house throws stones, they need to have stones thrown back at them.

No, I'm joking about why anyone would consider using a weapon that weighs about 40 pounds (so heavy it really, really needs a bipod), is 57 inches long and makes holes in engine blocks at an effective range in excess of a mile for indoor household defense. It would be like trying to swat a fly with a 20-lb sledge.

It's a ludicrous idea, which why I smilingly pointed out that you literally cannot shoot it in a living room.

Spexx, we already know you're an unreconstructable hoplophobe, and we think it's awful of you. Why oh why are you adding being tedious about it to your catalogue of pro-genocide, pro-crime sins?! Just to get puked on one more time? Are you a masochist, sir, or merely irrational and shameless?

And see, I've ended the thread without saying "fascist."
