(36,437 posts)Twenty children lie dead, and this person wants to strut his or her gun porn as a "test of DU's system" because he or she is so very angry that many people are voicing outrage over the murderous and reactionary gun culture.
Pathetic beyond words.
And then the cutesy Jon Stewart gif? A cutesy gif, as we grieve yet another massacre?
because it's all a big fucking joke to NYC SKIP. Emotionally defective. Horrendous.

(23,272 posts)Mossberg claims the Model 500 is the only shotgun to pass the US Army's Mil-Spec 3443E test, "a brutal and unforgiving torture test with 3,000 rounds of full power 12 gauge buckshot". (The updated 3443G specification requires a metal trigger guard, so only the Model 590A1 variants, which have a heavier barrel and use metal trigger groups instead of the standard Model 500's plastic trigger groups, will fit the requirements.[2])
While the Marines officially switched to the semi-automatic M1014 Combat Shotgun in 1999, various branches of the US military are still acquiring pump shotguns. The Navy acquired several thousand Mossberg 590A1 shotguns in 2004,[9] and the US Army placed an order in 2005 for 14,818 units at a price of just over US$316 each[10] (The Benelli M1014 is considerably more expensive).
In 2009 US Special Forces Groups procured Military Enhancement Kits to provide a standardized shotgun configuration based on the Mossberg 500. The kits included a collapsible stock, "shotgun retention system", 1913 receiver rail, forend rail system and breaching barrels. A total of 1301 shotguns were converted with the first unit being equipped in July, 2009. The majority of the kits convert the standard issue shotgun to a 14" compact model with a 16" accessory breaching barrel.

(63,645 posts)...we are letting people discuss guns now because it is related to an important current event. In other words, some relevance to public policy is implied. Which is why GD full of "guns suck/guns rule" right now.
But discussing the merits of the Mossberg 500 Special Purpose 12 ga with Extended Magazine is pretty far removed from the public policy discussion. Just sayin'.

Let's not give up the power we have in the first ten amendments.
I lived through the Cleveland School event, for what it's worth.
Happy Holidays!

(36,437 posts)In this case, we have an otherwise brilliant and engaging DU member revealing a deep and disturbing character flaw that would, I think for many people, rule out allowing somebody like this into their homes.

(48,181 posts)at the prospect of an endless series of mass murders like Fridays. 20 dead children and their concern is that magazine capacity might actually get limited. What the flying fuck is that about?

(9,905 posts)Maybe that's what gun freaks are all about, 0 empathy for others. I'm starting to understand it I guess.

(80,708 posts)I dont give a shit if you feel your right to be a "gun enthusiast" is under attack right now. Its telling that, with a kindergarten class full of dead kids, all you seem to think is important is your pro gun fee-fees.
Know what? I like pasta, but if someone had just killed 20 elementary school kids using a plate of spaghetti, I wouldnt be on DU going "MMMM!! SPAGHETTI! YOU CANT TAKE IT FROM ME AND ITS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD! MMMMMM!"
Fucking obnoxious. You should be ashamed of yourself.

(68,644 posts)Hi!
Hey, it's just a thing! Admins called for a freeforall, posts ordinarily limited to the gungeon, I thought I'd participate and add some contrast to the mainstream "WE MUST OUTLAW ALL GUNS" sort of vibe.
No big.
