  It’s good to practice, because one day you may need to shoot fascists.

    Especially if they start throwing clay pigeons.

    The solution to the gun problem is always more guns

      Fascists don’t need guns to kill people, they have masks and cages.

      The solution to guns is to ensure that only the state can ever have guns.

      Why? Because the state will never be taken over by bad actors who seek to destroy democracy and institute autocracy.

      The well-meaning liberal-minded and just people in power today will be in power tomorrow and forever, so we can always trust them to have all guns, hold the cryptography backdoors for all consumer electronics, hold the reins on banking, have sophisticated mass surveillance capabilities, curtail free speech and open protest, intimidate rumblings of labor unionization, clamp down on people advocating for Palestinian people, disproportionately imprison brown people and immigrants for infractions that white people walk away from consequence-free, and so on.

      Why? Because terrorism must not win, and we’ll never ever change what the poorly-defined word “terrorism” means on a whim based on current perceived political enemies or anything.

        Yeah that gun is going to do so much when the state bombs you or sends a drone.

  I mean regardless of your position on hunting, it’s also good to do this in general as it’ll also mean those who clay pigeon shoot and similar won’t be polluting specific areas with lead.

  Indeed!

  This is not to say that separately they shouldn’t separately and sooner (more easily) ban lead - as another reply would suggest is a ridiculous suggestion.
