(1,499 posts)I created the HPHCSAR acronym as a way of mocking so-called "defenders of the 2nd Amendments" practice of trying to change the subject from policy to a semantic discussion about how "they're not assault weapons" Still, you come in to blather on and on with your own version of the "I know so much more about guns than you" DIVERSION and AGAIN won't address policy. I apologize for not creating an acronym which adequately (in your mind) describes the difference between the relative muzzle energy of the .303 and the .223. Of course, if I did, I would have to listen to you describe the differences between ballistics . . . all which have NOTHING to do with whether high capacity semi-automatic weapons turn their bearer into a more efficient killing machine.
Oh, btw, go play gun expert somewhere else. I own a Parker side by side, a pre-64 Model 70 .220, a Mark V .338/.378 (which, as you can imagine, doesn't get fired that often), two Remington 700s (.257 and 30-06), and a S&W 66 .357. Before my hands kind of gave out, I loaded the .220, .338/.378, and the .257. Just because I understand that the so-called "self-protection" gun market (which is all that keeps gun manufacturers in business given the demise of public lands and the decline in hunting) is driven by racism, xenophobia, and anti-government paranoia AND that it has so increased the volume of weapons in the stream of commerce that a gun is now as easy to get as a Snickers bar, doesn't mean I hate guns.
