    I've considered the blackout because that is a decent subsonic round and would actually get the full benefit of suppressor.
    What do you mean by NV? I use thermal.

    FIFY

    When you have a portion of society ignoring that MAGAs have severe mental illness and blaming normal folks for not being more accepting you create a subset of angry and in some cases dangerous folks on both sides but mostly on the criminal supporting MAGA side.

    I have a thermal on one but I don’t like as much as the actual night vision optics. Check out the wraith 4k max. I like them better cause they’re still good in the daytime. I don’t like thermal in daytime.
    Pulsar just released a hybrid day vision with thermal. It looks good but it’s like 5 grand. I’ll wait a year or two and it’ll be about 2500 by then

    OP you are really starting to worry me with all of your trans threads. It makes me think that there is something that you need to come clean about

    But yeah. I’ve got several 300 cans and 22 cans along with some other sizes. The others are pretty much good for reducing recoil. But the 300s and 22s are great subsonic rounds. Game changers for hogs and squirrels.

    I shoot the pulsar Thermion on my AR chambered in 6.8. Great hog round but expensive, especially with the first few rounds in the clip being hornady. I only shoot this setup at night so it will serve me well for awhile. Love the Thermion.

    ha. I didn’t place value on any conclusion. In the 2024 age of equity it’s just difficult to ignore this growing and glaring inequity. The 1% is becoming responsible for a lot more than 1% of real mass shootings and Not the gang violence kind some use to conflate. I find that datapoint interesting. Do with that info what you wish.

    Really? What is the percentage of mass shootings committed by trans people? What is the percentage of mass shootings committed by cisgendered male compared to their percentage in the population?

    Given the angry aggressiveness of the radical MAGA rubes, I'm now 100% against confiscating firearms. Heaven help whoever comes to try and pry mine from my hands!

    You need to roll your own. Problem is now the set up cost more than ever and primers are not always available and are double what they were a few yeas ago. I am fortunate that I have be reloading for years and had a good stock of supplies before the shortage and price increases.

    fair question. Let’s start with what isn’t mass shooting ? 5 dudes in south Chicago getting shot on a Saturday night is NOT mass shooting. If you disagree then we can stop there.

    I used to, I had a friend that had a great press and I would do it at his place under his guidance. I have the dies and a bunch of brass, just not sure I want to buy a good press when I am in the shedding part of my life.

    Okay, start with the defining features of a "mass shooting" then. What is it that you think defines a "mass shooting?"

    Link? Not doubting this was a mass shooting, but I'm curious about the circumstances.

    practically all mass shootings are done by boys/men. So by your logic the potential shooter really must be a man.

    100% agree. Data clearly concludes most mass shootings are done by men.

    Don’t worry, the libbie media will only report and describe shooters when they are white males.
    The trans, and shooters of color will go mostly unreported.
    Liberals continue to beat your drum.

    I think what differentiates gang related mass shootings from shootings like Las Vegas or Ulvade or Dylan Roof is the terrorism aspect of it. The victims are random. Those shootings terrify Americans because any of us could be the target whereas that’s not the case with Chicago gang violence. That’s just beef between two groups of people - not terrorism.
