There are no good Republicans.

None. Zip Zilch Zero None Of Them Not A Single Pleasant Person.

They are a revolting corrupt embezzlement ring with literally zero redeeming qualities

Fuck Trump and his spineless boot licking thugs and Fuck Massie and his rose-tinted followers.

Release the Epstein files transparency proposition WITHOUT that gun obsessed bigoted hack's contribution or prosperity.

Whether you like guns or not, making them your entire personality is so cringe.

[-] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Honestly, I can’t see a single reason why someone would “like” guns.

Eh, I grew up doing shooting competitions as a kid. My grandfather was a semi-famous trick shooter back when that was a thing, so it was something I grew up doing.

I hunt too, meat prices are insane right now and a few deer go a long way when frozen or otherwise preserved right, I don't mind having to butcher and dress it myself. I'm not gonna stop eating meat in this lifetime, them animals are way way too tasty.

I like guns, but this photo is cringe to me too. I'm a Fudd in the gun community. Revolvers, lever-action repeaters, and shotguns are all I mess with, and I'd be more than comfortable banning all high capacity guns.

Engineering is my main draw. That and knowing my sister would be dead today without hers.

Depends on where you live, how you grew up, and your hobbies.

I realize it’s a foreign concept to some who grew up in an urban/metropolitan area and are otherwise surrounded by concrete, buildings and lots of people.

I grew up with 3000 acres of woods behind my house. Didn’t own them but had unrestricted access. I like guns but despise people like the one in this image.

Honestly, you can say that about most things. If you make your identity any one thing it's cringe. Go experience the world and open your interests to a diverse set.

Making "exploring the world" your thing is so cringe. All those insta and tinder profiles with the same travel photos. Fuck off.

I feel like if I explored the world the only photos you'd have of it are random ass birds, weird roadkill, and probably the inside of some Soviet bunker or some shit. I went to the grand canyon some years ago and the only video I took was of a goat at the flintstones thing and a squirrel tweaking out on the side of the cliff.

I did explore the world. This included war zones. I didn't feel like making a selfie with a dead baby on the side of the road, to post it on my tinder profile with the text "I love traveling". Or with someone's head split open by a sniper shot, with the text "I guess we'll eat shoarma tonight #localstreetfood".

"I love exploring the world" basically means "I love to make selfie photo's at tourist attractions to show off I make more money than you, while at the same time not giving a shit about the culture, the people, the history, the country I visit because those poor people are ewww"

But other things might not be exclusively used for killing living beings. In the case of the weapons in that image, primarily humans.

Only things my guns kill are steel targets and the odd deer when I can get tags

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, but I don't think that changes the cringe aspect. It changes the unhinged potentially dangerous aspect though.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Uhh what we would these weapons be used secondarily for?

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Still killing living beings, but of the animal variety for food. Or, as a hobby to enjoy at the range. That's what mine are for.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

If the first round doesn't stop the deer the rest of the clip will I suppose.

Bonus: You don't have to grind the meat up after you dress it.

If they hunt replace deer with boar and your technically wrong, I once met a guy who hunted boars with a Browning Automatic Rifle.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I once met a guy who hunted geese with a slingshot. That was impressive skill, not impressively stupid.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

It's a legit problem in some southern states. The feral hog population is destroying crops. I know someone that ranches goats and he says he carries an AR15 with 300BLK with him when he checks on his goats. He also said the hogs have killed enough of his goats that he hasn't made any profit in them in the past couple years. It's a very specific use case, but a real one.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah I've got a cousin in Arkansas who hunts boars with a crossbow, damned thing has a pull so strong it needs motorized assistance and can clear through ballistic glass. Barely phases the damned boars if he doesn't hit something vital, note he mostly hunts for sport and bacon but still boars ain't nothing to fuck with there's a reason a lot of legendary heros possessed boar slaying as a feat of strength and bravery.

[-] athatet@lemmy.zip 3 points 21 hours ago

30-40 feral hogs

You're assuming a lot about which tool I've selected for which job, and you're wrong.
