9/1 So the answer to the question that started all this is "yes, there are
gun nuts on the motd."
\_ what?! doesnt everyone have at least 3 pieces : one on you, one
for your car, and one for your home?
\_ All you need is one in your hands at all times. Then you won't
have to fumble around in your car or house when you really need
that gun to shoot somebody.
\_ one? one? liberal pinko fag.
\_ that wouldn't make you a gun nut. there was a nice little
discussion about it earlier this morning, but it was nuked
by a petulant gun nut.
\_ How about if you can tell every gun error made in the movies
and ID the pieces in a sec and you DO NOT play CS because
killing someone for fun isnt is as fun as if it were real.
\_ I can ID the pieces in movies pretty fast most of the time.
*looks down*. Of course half the time they aren't even
real production models, like they would glue something on
top of something else because it 'looks cool.'
I don't play CS because I think FPS games are boring and
lame and all the same really (except graphics get better
with time). The CS crowd is ... not a point in favor of
CS either. Also, comparing FPS games to shooting an
actual firearm is like comparing leisure suit larry to
sex. You are all sex nuts. -- ilyas
\_ ilyas got pwn3d! w00t!
\_ I'm not petulant. YOU'RE petulant!!!
\_ Just b/c someone wants the *RIGHT* to do something doesn't
mean that they necessarily want to exercise that *RIGHT*.
\_ No way. All pro-second amendment people are raging assholes
and psychotic and evil republicans who want to wield tripod
mounted machine guns on their hummers to clear traffic. None
would be someone like me who has never owned a gun but can
read the second amendment without putting a unique and wacky
interpretation on it. The anti-second amendment people should
try to legally change it through the constitutional processes
created for that purpose, not through activist courts. The
same goes for either party trying to invent other new rights
not in the constitution or remove ones that are clearly there.
\_ You just say that because you aren't forward
thinking enough. Everything that supports my glorious
vision is good, anything that impedes it is bad.
\_ Is it really that difficult for people to hold differing thoughts
in their brains? I respect the right of the average American to
own a gun, AND I think trigger locks, lengthy background checks,
and a ban on assault weapons is reasonable. Why does it have to be
either-or?
\_ We need to ban thoughts of mass destruction.
\_ Have to present a false dichotomy or they'll take my presciousss.
\_ Speaking of guns, kinda, what kind of guns do they use in the
Olympics? link:csua.org/u/8vi (Mainichi Daily News photo)
\_ They use 'racing guns' i.e. guns unreasonably optimized for
accuracy at the expense of everything else (aesthetics,
reliability, etc.) On a slightly unrelated note, I think it's
really lame that some sports (skiing, shooting, polevaulting)
don't standardize on equipment, which means richer country teams
come with a bigger advantage simply because they can afford state
of the art equipment. -- ilyas
\_ c.f. NASCAR which is essentially a race to see who has the
richest family to support a team.
\_ no, you're thinking of science fair.
\_ Communist!
\_ Why are you advocating an authority-based system of equipment
selection? Is it not best to let the free market decide the
best equipment?
\_ He wants athletes to be forced *at gunpoint* to use
Official Halliburton equipment! -meyers
\_ Is that one-handed thing part of the rules? Stuff for normal
guns I've seen always recommend a two-hand grip.
\_ yermom prefers the two-hand grip
\_ The level of dumbassery in this thread is truly astounding. |
