@Aviation_Intel I forgot the F-22. We were supposed to get more than 750 of them... instead we got 187 operational aircraft.

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

Defense Department Acquisitions in general are a total shit show. The list is as long as it is glorious:

M247 Sergeant York
A-12 Avenger
RAH-66 Comanche
XM2001 Crusader
Future Combat Systems (FCS)
VH-71 Kestrel
Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV)
Airborne Laser (YAL-1 / ABL)
Zumwalt-class Destroyer (DDG-1000)
Littoral Combat Ship (LCS)

I will agree with you that the US Navy's list is longer and more costly, but all branches are guilty.

@yormayiin Slovakia or Slovakya... here's a map to help:

@TheAKGuy I predict the court will affirm our right to semi-auto rifles. But it won't stop states from neutering them like the do now in CA/NY like this:

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

@darkstormind @LucasBotkin May the odds be forever in your favor!

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

@BellOfArt @LucasBotkin yeah, I think it will just end the debate about banning AR's... but it won't stop the states from neutering them. When pro 2A communities read the decisions we look at them broadly, but the actual items that the court typically decides are narrow.

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

@LucasBotkin Realize that this is a CA and NY legal AR...

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

Here is how I anticipate this will go.... AR's will be considered common use (we've all known this for years) and will be legal. Then states like VA, CA, NY, IL, etc will pass a whole bunch of laws limiting features or redefining what is and isn't an semi-auto rifle to get around the ruling.

@nobullsix @RiseOfAlberta Counter, US gets Alberta and Canada gets Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and San Francisco

@YTMPod @LucasBotkin And for the record, I am not against FRTs... having one in a RPK is my next goal. Would also like one for my ARs. Just don't think its a good idea to hit the giggle switch at home.

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

Actually, you introduced the 5-6 attacker home invasion hypothetical to argue for FRTs being a good idea for home defense, @LucasBotkin pointed out why they are a bad idea for home defense and I pointed out how extremely rare your home invasion fantasy is. FBI NIBRS data shows multiple-offender burglaries (2+) are already a small minority of cases and anything with 5+ people is an extremely tiny fraction of that fraction. The vast majority of home invasions involve just 1-3 people who usually run at the first sign of armed resistance. Preparing for low-probability events makes sense when the downside is minimal (like insurance or seat belts), but having a full blown anxiety attack and then gearing up for a fantasy scenario doesn't. Further, I never mentioned anything about costs, so you trying to bring that into the conversation is coming out of nowhere. A cheap trigger doesn't magically solve accuracy, control, over penetration, or the very real risk of hitting family or neighbors when you are blazing away trying to fight off the zombie horde. As both Lucas and I have pointed out: stick with training, good optics and quality firearms for probable threats instead of gearing up for Red Dawn at home.

@mattvanswol a 20 year old is not a kid.

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

Locking doors and wearing seat belts are cheap, everyday precautions with zero downside and high daily relevance. Unlike using an FRT for the fantasy of 5+ home invaders pouring through your doorway like zombies. We were originally talking about FRT use at home and not general concealed carry, but nice try moving the goalposts. Most people carry pistols for CCW and not ARs and AKs with FRTs, that is like comparing apples to tactical oranges. The fact that UCR crime reports show a low annual probability of needing deadly force doesn't mean you shouldn't defend yourself. No matter the situation, controlled and accurate fire is better than spray-and-pray that'll increase your legal risk with every missed round. I'll take evidence and history over movie scenarios every time, thanks.

@compliantvc Hasn't stopped the EU from bitching though has it?

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

@compliantvc Please go back!

[Diving_TBD @Diving_TBD]

@compliantvc You know more people die in Europe every year from heat related causes than all gun related deaths in the US?
