Thread: What are they talking about? False claims around firearms

Tussock I’m dyslexic and even I can tell the difference between a car and an apple even though I drive a lemon and who cares there all spelt the same in my world

To start:
"Assault rifles" we don't have assault rifles which has selective fire - full auto and/or burst. MSSA is semi auto only.

"High calibre" 223/5.56 is a small calibre, intermediate cartridge. It's essentially the same calibre as the .22LR

"No one needs MSSA" professional pest control, 3 gun/multigun/service rifle shooters and any other fit n proper person who has legit use of the said firearms beg to differ. We could also argue no one needs a car that is capable of driving over 100 km/h and we should ban all those cars.

Yeah go argue that a .223 is “essentially” the same as a .22, because that’s a great argument to have.

Go argue to ban all cars that go over 100km .

All this talk lately mostly sounds like hysterical garbage and will actually end up doing more harm than good.

With you @Rushy a slow finger, (aaarrgghh) is age related, switch from firearms to lady’s of the night for therapy!

You have to have your Subaru / V8 / Turbo'd Vehicle listed on your 1E license endorsement. (1 is for normal cars and 1E is for sports cars) Also known as RSSC for Racing Style Sports Car

Because these sports cars are sought after by crims (See subaru theft etc) and are used in car chases with police (See note 1) they require additional security such as an alarmed steel shed with three locks on every door.

Only the driver that has this car attached to their license can use it. It cannot be lent or shared or left outside when not in use.

You require additional background checks to make sure you are a fit and proper person to own such a car.

Media and the general public hate you and want to ban your car because it will kill them and their children. They see no need to be able to drive such a vehicle.

It was designed for the race track and has no place on the road.

Having mag wheels added makes any car a sports type car. (Equivalent to a large capacity magazine)

Having fluffy dice or flames painted on the side makes it a sports type car. (Equivalent to having a pistol grip - makes no difference but looks aggressive)

Stealing this, best analogy yet

A calmer, more fact based article from the NZ Herald.

Agree, apart from this bit...

"In seeking to achieve that ideal, it also pushes a strong self-improvement component - the type of values system right-wing celebrity pop psychologist Jordan Peterson advocates - eating well, exercising, keeping tidy."

its only propaganda if the media tells you it is other wise they are both apples

just to keep our sense of humour alive here and not let the media control us I heard that @Rushy was converting his range into a 10 pin bowling alley

@Tussock Right you are, but how does that help when the media cannot tell an apple from an arsehole? (Oh wait, they can tell them apart, but the choose not to because lies sell articles.)
