  • Oh I know some of them have pretty progressive or even leftist views, my hometown pastor was a very liberal, gay man, politically active in social democratic and lgbtq groups and a long time family friend, although we’re atheists. And he wouldn’t brand himself a radical leftist by far.

    I’m European myself and radical left still means something different here. I mean for a lot of Americans anything in the slightest social or liberal automatically is radical leftist communism.












  • The linked article doesn’t say it was a AR-15 it says assault-style rifle and I would consider the specific model to be splitting hairs, since it hardly matters to the conversation.

    But to be truly pedantic the article a little further down specifies it as an Assault style semi-automatic rifle, so fair enough.

    but to clarify that fully automatic weapons are much more rare, and much more dangerous.

    Agreed. Still, semi-automatic assault style rifles pose a unique danger in that they could be “upgraded” to fire full auto, although it being illegal. Most of those are derived from regular fully automatic weapons and the layout allows them to be converted more easily. For example a SL08 with I think 4 parts switched can be operated like it’s military counterpart, the G36.
