Ah, yes: the incredibly common sense banning of [checks notes]... hunting rifles?

What is happening in America is a terrorism problem, but both sides are so locked into the means they are ignoring the motives. The only two ways for Americans to recognize terrorism appear to be:

  2. Something explodes

In America most hunting is done with shotguns loaded with slugs (or birdshot) or bolt action rifles. The rifle the FBI reported the shooter used is a pretty basic looking bolt action rifle. Same kind people everywhere sit in tree stands with, waiting for deer or elk.

The Mauser design is about 125 years old. The type of bullet is from 1906. There are a lot of these things floating around in the US. A worrying amount of them probably aren't even locked up.

Breaking through the mental wall for anti-2A liberals unfortunately only happens once it's too late to get effective training, if it happens at all...

A gun/gear group I know of recently tried to donate money to a charity for queer folks in the the south. The charity denied the donation because "they don't take money from anyone who uses firearms for work" (paraphrased).

Let's take a moment to digest that.
