Of course, they are really pushing the Linux Desktop as well, they had a program recently where if you had an older laptop you could get a newer one if you went with a Linux based system.
It is not just that, it is a fundamental design requirement of making a fully automatic weapon that is safe and reliable vrs a semi automatic one.
Extra engineering and by extension, weight, go into making the gun feed more reliably, more controllable in sustained bursts, reduce recoil and dissipate heat.
That is why a bare bones stock M-16A4 weighs close to 9 pounds, and the AR-15 is around 7.
You just make it "fully auto" and you have a gun that jams, has horrible accuracy in burst mode, and tends to overheat the barrel.
And still blow their face off because they don't know what the fuck they are doing and modifying a gun that shoots 30-06 ammo and has no recoil or anti-barrel lift mechanism and that kicks with 3000 ft lbs, almost double a 12 gauge, or double a.223 or 3x a 9mm... you go right ahead.
Enjoy the Darwin award.
I have a nice half moon scar on my forehead from a Springfield 30-06 scope, my rifle of choice. They kick hard, and I tried to do a "snap shoot" at a called target (numbered barrel) and did not brace properly.
My problem is that you can't follow your own logic. You said that:
Since most events as the shooting range aren't political, that really ain't much of a surprise.. Go to a tea party rally and see what happens to that count of paranoids.
So, by your logic, shooting range is not political, but those same people are at Tea Party rallies, and they are as paranoid as OWS.
Me: OWS != Shooting range You: Shooting Range + Politics == Tea Party You: Tea Party == OWS
and I pointed out that no, you won't find the behavior of the OWS at Tea Party rallies, you are full of shit.
Gosh, you got me there. You are sooo right. I shall go hang myself in shame.
Not.
You got gamed, because you read with your preconceptions set to 11.
At the bottom of the article:
That’s how I believe the main stream media and lefty websites would have reported the left wing violence and racism that transpired at the right-to-work protests if it had been perpetrated by the Tea Party–and not left wing union activists.
But it wasn’t the Tea Party.
Fox News contributor Steven Crowder was assaulted by a left wing union activist.
t was Americans for Prosperity’s tent. It was destroyed by violent, left wing union activists.
Clint Tarver’s equipment was destroyed by a mob of mostly white, violent, racist, left wing union activists. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they hurled racial slurs at Tarver as he tried to pick up what was left of his catering equipment.
In just one afternoon, the events in Lansing demonstrated what conservatives have known for a long time: If violence and racism is not the whole of the extreme left wing, it is in its heart. It has been seen in the Occupy movement when their protests have turned violent. It can be seen daily on Twitter, as rabid left wing lunatics attack Michelle Malkin with the kind of venom and racism that would make the late Senator Robert “the Exalted Cyclops” Byrd blush even in his KKK prime.
Now as more details of what happened in Lansing come to light, some on the left are attacking Steven Crowder. They are saying he provoked it. He shouldn’t have been there. He was asking for it.
If the left wants to embrace the goon who punched Crowder, I say go for it. That thug is the poster child of the angry, violent, racist mob that destroyed private property and humiliated a black businessman with their racial slurs. Stand with that guy if you want to liberals. Own their violence. Own their racism.
I stand with Steven Crowder.
More importantly, I stand with Clint Tarver. A man who did build his business.
This appears to be true of the military issue version, not the civilian "sportster" model.
It is also mentioned this modification means the bolt is never in full battery, which in turn means it can fire a round without the chamber fully closed. How do you like your eyes after they have been burned out by bits of brass casing and burning powder and possibly shrapnel from a shattered chamber?
Want them sewn shut, or left open as a horrifying reminder of how stupid it is to make modifications to a firearm to make it fully automatic?
Show me something that even compares to the rape, destruction, and general mayhem of the Occupy events.
You won't find it. You will find some nut cases spraying spit on a senator as they yell at him. You will find some that broke laws, outside of the rallies.
But you won't find the kind of widespread systematic crime that you find for OWS.

It was fake but accurate!
I am presuming, unlike some people below, that you were being sarcastic.
NYT has had a black eye since the Jayson Blair fiasco.
I feel sorry for Tesla, once you get into pissing matches like this in public you rarely come out smelling like a rose.
The internet will be officially dead when nude scans of Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnel are posted...
Citations needed.
And the name of the right wing assailant: Tony Fauxname.
Lefties never hear about this because they only listen to their own echo chambers.
I mean, how much have people heard about the policy for assasination using drone strikes on US citizens abroad?
You wouldn't know it from the major news orgizations.
And they will fire out of battery.

Let me Google that for you...

I will watch out for British Squaddies then.

Yes, because every gun owner has access to a MIG welder and a the knows how to use it.
And again, many of these modifications reduce the reliability and effectiveness of the weapon.
Sorry, the Tea Party comment is pure falsehood.
Show me something that even compares to the rape, destruction, and general mayhem of the Occupy events.

Met a lot more paranoids at Berkley and Occupy events then I ever did at the shooting ranges.
Self described "Peaceful" and "Tolerant" people are the most intolerant I know.
Round us up. Kill us if we resist.
Yeah. Tolerant and peaceful.
Did you not read what I said?
That is a trigger bumper, go ahead, try it out sometime.
Let me know how many stitches it takes to sew your finger back on, assuming your gun does not jam first.
No gun can be made full auto "easily".
There are plenty of so called "trigger bumpers" that make them fire very fast, but they also tend to make them jam.
And lastly, despite your final solution for the NRA, how are you going to round them up if they have their guns?
That is exactly what the 2nd amendment is intended to prevent.
Not. In. Kansas.
Time to move to Kansas. No International Airports.
Goes back 20 years before that with Misfit and The Long Watch.
Unlikely, techies don't reproduce that fast...
I read this yesterday on an ostensibly political news site.
