Automatic or semi-automatic assault rifles with their large cartridges are definitely different from a less "scary looking" bolt action rifle carrying 3 to 6 rounds or a semi-automatic rifle carrying 3 to 6 rounds in the belly, handguard, or stock, and significantly different from a shotgun or handgun.

 

*note* I'm not making a case that we should outlaw this type of weapon, but there is a notable difference.

Yeah, they're less powerful. :hehe:

Right one is a popular hunting cartridge, and the middle one is almost identical to the NATO round used in the M16.

Yea, power per shot is another difference, I only commented on the killing power per reload.  There's tons of differences between those weapons and that's part of what I was trying to express.  

 

Right now I'm railing at the sentiment that a person would be trying to get rid of assault weapons because they look scarier than other rifles.  There are reasonable arguments that want to get rid of assault rifles.  I do not agree with the arguments, but I can respect them for what they are.

Yeah. I actually agree. I wasn't serious with this. I put it in the lame board for a reason.

 

By the way, we should hang out again sometime soon so you can see my wicked awesome haircut. I would take pictures but I think I will be banned from the forum. :P

 

And something that might interest you, Nihil, is that my new hair cutting lady convinced me to let her gel my hair after she cut it, and I liked it so much I bought the bottle of gel she used. It's a very thick paste stuff, which she said worked best with my kind of very thick hair.

Wait - you get your hair cut by a girl?  Isn't the barbershop supposed to be a boys club like the salon is a girl's club?

Indeed. But I like getting my hair cut by a girl. They know what girls like, and they know more about hair and what works for your type of hair and what doesn't.



Oh sure, let a woman tell you what to do. :|

 

I guess I am called to be a husband!

Your hair isn't about what girls like, but about what expresses you.  Also, there's something to be said for the male bonding that you can get there that you can get nowhere else.

I like the way they do my hair. It's nice. And I used to go to a barber when I was younger, but since he retired I have gone to women. They have done an acceptable job.

Here I was thinking we'd be discussing the  O-Antiphons.

 

i'm a bad Catholic because my first thought was the line from Office Space about "showing my 'O' face". :|

2 things.  First, your hair shouldn't be acceptable, it should be good. Second, that doesn't address my previous concern.
