Nice strawman. Regulation is not the same thing as banning. You shouldnt be able to buy guns so easily.
Regulation? Seriously?
I can have a drone equipped with a fiber optic cable and a jar of not napalm ready to use on some random nobody for about a thousand bucks. Up that price a little bit and I can not only increase the range — I can just fucking make thermite, use the drone to set a whole neighborhood on fire.
Should we regulate red iron oxide because I've put the spectre of drone warfare into your mind? Do you have any idea how dumb it is to be fixated on guns?
Just checking the thread... but holy fuck you are weirdly obsessed with drones and thermite. I responded to you elsewhere and I want to make it more clear. I have the education and skills required to design and build the things you are acting like you know about. Even though I have the credentials, I hate flexing them in this capacity.
You are sort of useless from a short reading of your comments. Bring something to the table before arguing about things you don't understand.

Hey dipshit, hope you bought a net gun.
It's funny as hell that I live rent-free in your head.
Yikes, imagine saying this to someone for having a memory of dumb shit you've said — sounds practiced!
You remind me of the guy that I bought a boat outdrive from. Several months later he threatened to shoot me if I didn't forget his address. He didn't know where i lived but randomly responded to me. Meth head behavior.
Odd, that's the second time you've insinuated I'm a meth head - either you know too many meth heads or you've never met one to begin with.
Like I said, grab that net gun - you can get 'em for about 500 bucks. Otherwise, do shut the fuck up.
I do live rural so see lots of methed out people. The randomness of your reasoning and arguing with a ghost are both signs of meth use. Either that or mental health issues.
Imagine calling me a meth head or mentally ill when you're doing mental gymnastics.
Guess you just couldn't avoid the dipshit radiation, could ya? Tends to happen when you're isolated. Shame.
This is exactly how meth heads act lol. Throwing around words they think about the argument and rambling.
Says the guy who, in this very thread, downplayed drones against ar-15s.
If that's being a meth head then I'd rather be that than whatever the fuck you are.
Only an idiot wouldn't have seen drone warfare coming a decade ago. It's sad it took you so long to figure it out.
Oh, now drones are a legitimate problem to you.
God damn, go fuck yourself. I've got you tagged as an actual fascist, your bad faith arguments and hypocrisy prove me right.
I tagged you a while ago. Only an idiot would label me as a fascist, because you have deep misunderstanding of the word.
Again, you're the dipshit saying ar-15s are a bigger problem.
Oohh, wait - you're going to move the goalposts again. Right.
And you're advocating for a fascist government seizing individual firearms. Let me think, for a second, how much I give a shit about your opinions... nope, I don't.
Edit: ad hominem after ad hominem, looks like someone's a fascist afraid to get shot
Falacy falacy is why i include small insults. Leaning on a fallacy is what stupid people do when they don't have anything to stand on.
