ultracool dwarf stari went to a gun range for the first time today and was???? very good at shooting???? i rented a 9mm pistol from the range and then also shot two rifles that my friend brought. i liked the pistol more and want to go back. this is weird because i've always hated guns and never had any nuanced opinions, just "ban them." i have a lot to think about now.
so tab today@haley "Ban them" is totally consistent with "allow controlled usage in specialized places, for fun". We have racetracks that allow non-street-legal cars, for example.
@tabatkins there's still the matter of the second amendment though so
@haley Some terribly, *terribly* mis-interpreted bullshit. Ain't no well-regulated militias around when you're buying a pistol "for home defense".
With luck we'll someday have a SCOTUS that interprets it as intended, and with the nuance of today's world vs three centuries ago's world.
@tabatkins i don't have the time or energy to discuss this on social media rn otherwise I would have been more specific
