performative gun fags i.e reddit finger

[Sheogorath]

there's a puzzling amount of faggots online who whenever they see a someone handling a gun that's unloaded was cycled doesn't have a magazine in it has safety on have to jump up and yell trigger discipline the like some performative chimp part of their brain is flaring up that this is the moment of their life where they can dazzle everyone with the knowledge they acquired when they went to a gun range that one time that you shouldn't put the finger on the trigger until you shoot i'll use this post and the replies as an example



>OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IS THAT A FRICKING BUTTHOLE PICKER ON THE FWICKEN BANG BAZOOKA TRATATATATA BOOM BOOM BOOM SWITCH DUDE YOU ALMOST ACCIDENTALLY NEGLIGENTLY DISCHARGED ON EVERYONE IN A 10 METER RADIUS AROUND YOU DUDE THAT'S DANGEROUS YOU CAN'T JUST FWICKEN DO THAT LIKE YOU SHOULD WITEWWAY TREAT EVERY GUN LIKE IT'S LOADED EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT ON A RANGE AND STUFF BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS EVEN IF YOU KNOW THE GUN IS NOT LOADED EVEN IF YOU CHECKED THE MAG CYCLED IT AND THERE'S NOTHING IN THE GUN THEY WORK LIKE MAGIC AND SATAN WILL LOAD A REAL FUCKING BULLET YOU SHOULD BE ALWAYS AFRAID OF A BOOMSTICK BANGARANGATANG TOOTER SHOOTER GOING OFF BECAUSE YOU JUST HAVE TO OKAY??


bunch of retards getting baited because they think this is their moment to shine "ehrm achsually you shouldn't put your finger on the trigger" it really pissed me off as performative but what I further came up with is this just comes of as gun scare but for people who shoot guns like they're afraid of the guns they're using like they don't understand their own tools AND how they work

It's a good rule, people should follow it and give other people shit when they don't. I get your point, but even though it's somewhat cringe, the social pressure is a good thing here.

You sound like a fag.

on the range you can immediately reprimand people about trigger discipline or flagging people it serves a purpose to not get people shot and it's infinitely more effective to just have no trust rules with people firing guns with live ammo treating toy guns or a picture online in the same way is nothing but larping about how much of a super serious tactical faggot you are writing with a made up redneck accent about some bababalam shoot tudum stick

Its more the fact they blow past the obvious joke post to flaunt their "knowledge"

Guns are just toys for grown ups. The first rule of gun safety is just have fun.

 

[Sheogorath]

another example though reddit should be considered cheating
this picture has fake airsoft guns it's an action shot in cosplay and guns are pointed at the fucking sky in the middle of a forest

but even with all this there's still some dweebs who think trigger discipline is a sacred unbreakable commandment

Yeah, I guess you're right. I was being a bit of a hypocrite given I used to laugh my ass off at Carnik Con and other guntube shitposting.

A thought to the contrary, that bugs me from time to time: If you allow jokes on any topic, that inevitably undermines the seriousness of it and allows dissent or even opposition. Worked with the church and religion, family values and sexual mores, worked with racism and antisemitism (good). I guess we just have to decide, whether a slight decrease in the safety benefits of extremely prudent gun culture are worth the laughs.

Walk into any gun store and you're going to get the "gun store attitude" from the employees. Part if this is that people who want to work at a gun store fucking suck as human beings; but the other part is that people who patronize gun stores are insufferable.

The first rule of guns is "don't talk about guns".

I grew up with soviet surplus and I was taught never to dry fire.

 

[Sneaky lurker]

revolvers are cool.

 

[Sheogorath]

revolvers are cool.

i love to reload during a battle There's nothing like like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber.

Isn’t the term for needlessly being finicky about rules for guns called being a “fud”? Those are the kind of people who practically gatekeep firearms. This sounds good in theory, but the ownership of a gun is so important to a good country, that it should be encouraged as much as possible.

The funniest gunfag boomer incident ive ever seen was when bunch of idiots on facebook got upset when some dude posted a video of himself spinning the cylinder of a revolver then slamming it shut.
The funniest comment from that said something like "thats no way to treat a precision instrument".
Its like when a boomer calls the piece of shit mosin a "sniper platform".

 

[QwahlityKahntent]

gay thread. you should ALWAYS treat a gun as if it's loaded even if you just personally unloaded it and cycled 300 times. the second you break that conditioning is when you cause an accident

If it were some random idiot, sure, let social pressure do its thing. But this is an obvious joke post (look at the "Glock"), by someone named "Fudd Busters".

Reminds me of the "make your pistols safe by dropping the mags and firing the live rounds off to the side" guy:

What's the joke?

Idiots will see that image and try to mimick it.

Haven't you seen those videos online of kids shooting each other on accident or committing unintended suicide because they were joking around? Do you want that to happen your kid?

I'm all about low-brow humor, but this effort would have been better with something obviously rake,clike a wooden gun or squirt gun (eg - space phazer), not a real firearm.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I was being a bit of a hypocrite

Don't be a pussy.

 

[Sheogorath]

thats no way to treat a precision instrument

"don't fire your revolver you'll wear out the rifling and the hammer"

 

[SOLDIER OF WALES]

Lack of trigger discipline is a high T trait. And yes, guns are toys so I can point them at other people and at myself when they're unloaded for a laugh.

Also its a magazine not a clip

And? You could say that about literally anything. Its almost like you can teach your own children firearm safety. How do I know? I have guns and a child.
