They want to do what they want to do. You want to do what you want to do.
Let's not assume that simply because I don't share every bit of a point of view that I am the exact opposite.
I don't like hitting people with brass, and in my original post I very much stated that I understand some minor frustration.
What I do not understand is this frothing Range Rage and name calling that seems to be directed at anyone whose gun dares kick brass. We have people putting a piece of brass exiting the gun on the same accountability level as a bullet leaving it.
I wanted to start a conversation about why there is such a strong feeling attached to a very, very common occurrence when shooting modern guns.
What precisely is the difference? Are they ranting about you like you are about them?
You will notice that my post (or rather my posts) is neither a rant, nor do I call anyone names, nor do I insinuate that anyone who doesn't agree with me is "inconsiderate," not an "adult," "disrespectful," "has no manners" and the like.
What I am trying to do, let me reiterate this ...
How does this very natural function of a modern centerloading firearm cause so much anger in people?
Why does a piece of brass flying for instance gets compared to a bullet flying in terms of negligence?
Why do people think a brass hit is a sure sign of an utterly inconsiderate, rude, scum of the earth, unsafe and overall anti-social shooter, when it is a built in function of the gun to kick brass and the range is a shared place, so there is by default a lowered expectation of one's own desires getting perfectly fulfilled for a all involved.
Why does anyone who asks "Hey, what's the big deal?" instantly get called names, for all intents and purposes?
In short, why is there oftentimes* a lack of any kindness, acceptance or slowness to judge from normally jovial and friendly people ... because someone's firearm performed a design function and caused a very minor irritation?
*(maybe sometimes, where I shoot, we talk to each other, act like social types and are accepting and supporting of pretty much any kind shooter and act pretty darned rationally towards each other)
