I will throw mine in, "
Gun Rights." Guns don't have rights and never will. Yes, I am using an absolute negative, real thin Ice, I know it. However, there will be no Black Swan here. Gun Owners have rights. Guns do not have rights.
I realize it sounds nitpicky. However, it is a mis-statement that weakens our political position, as gun owners. We put ourselves in a position that, against people who are arguing for, "the rights of people," we are arguing, "the rights of things."
Constructs do not have rights. Now, I do realize that some ethicists discuss this position in relation to evolving AI; however, that isn't where we are. We are discussing a relatively simple construct that possesses no ability to learn or distinguish in its operation. Guns do not have rights. We, as gun owners, have rights.
I can't stand any use of the terms "sheeple", "liberal", or any other derogatory term used in any stereotypical statements about antigun folks. Their perspective is flawed IMO in most cases but referring to them this way when we talk guns is degrading and not constructive.
"Revolvers are a better choice for carry because they're more reliable than autoloaders."
Well they seem to be less prone to failure due to their design, but it also seems when one goes down it becomes a club. Autoloaders may malfunction more easily, but when they do they can sometimes be quickly brought back to a functional condition by the user. You are taking s chance either way, so pick what's right for you.
You bring up two things here. The first is more important. As many of you know, I went to a
Utah Gun Exchange meet and greet before a March For Our Lives event. I tend to stand by the edges, that is just me. I got to talking to another few that were there. They are also shooters and active in the Gun Owners Rights activities; however, they felt . . . to use a word . . . slighted, by the use of the word "
liberal" by several present (in their defense, no spokesperson from the Utah Gun Exchange ever used the word, it was a few of the guests). I also heard it several times.
Now these people, that I talked to, didn't stop off or burn their NRA card; but it grated. I understood their position.
How a person feels about the best way to build a strong and resilient economy should not be a determinant in that person's welcome in the community of gun owners. . . of course, I could go on to expound on that point; but that point needs to be where it stops.
As far as revolvers vs autoloaders; Well, now we are back to a much more fun debate
