      That would make the 2nd amendment illegal.

  This video has “it was just a joke, bro” energy, especially since the whole thing was filmed from the start. Likely using Meta Glasses.

  I just love the dichotomy of the dude coming over acting all upset as if there’s any other use for that particular weapon he’s selling. It’s exactly the same vibe as buying a bong back in the day, where you have to pretend like it was for tobacco and if you used any weed adjacent nomenclature, the stoned worker would be like “nah bro, that’s illegal.” Except like, this guy selling tools for murder and not tools for enhancing the cinematic experience of The Fifth Element.

    Uh there are plenty of purposes for an AR. Hunting, plinking, precision shooting.

    I know a few guys that hunt with ARs. Most of the guys I work with have at least one for target shooting. The small handful of guys who feel like they need a weapon for “protection” have a pistol set aside for that purpose.

  He should have said he’s training to be ICE.

  • brem@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Everyone knows ICE doesn’t have training. Just smoll pp & brain is all you need.

  Anything for attention…

  They were ready to sell it to him right before though. I think the gun cult is nuts and this is a nice way to show it.

  You can give a man a fully automatic assault rifle, but only if he screams and fucks with it at home. If the guy feels unsafe to have someone just scream with it, he shouldn’t be selling it to anyone ffs.

    Sigh.

    You could say the same about hammers in a hardware store. If someone yells ‘I’m gonna throw this hammer at your fucking head!’ and cocks their arm back, then they’re being a huge idiot that endangers those around them and they deserve to get kicked out of the store. It doesn’t mean that the hardware store is full of hammer nuts that are ready to sell hammers to maniacs.

    You’re expected to treat tools and others with respect when you’re in public, especially if you’re in someone else’s space (like a store). If you don’t, then there are consequences.

      Even if some people treat it as a toy, a gun is still first and foremost a tool for killing. You cannot compare it to a hammer.

      A teen holding a hammer and screaming “get on the ground” would not get the same reaction out of me as a gun would.

      Imagine if this guy was letting you hold a grenade and that’s how sane people view this kind of window shopping.

    Fully automatic? Yeah good luck finding one.

      They are hard to come by and expensive, but here is a perfectly legal mac 10, full auto, with suppressor, sold for $11,000

  Is this an attempt at humour? I’m not finding value here.

  I would have that the fact he hasn’t started shaving yet would have been enough grounds to not handle him a weapon

  source

  • brem@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Seems like he shouldn’t even be allowed to leave the basement

• Elgenzay@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  You could probably prosecute that

  source

  • SippyCup@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s certainly a crime, they’d probably call it terroristic threats or some such. It’s on the level of shouting “fire!” In a crowded theater

    source

    • Grimy@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That would make sense but only if the cinema sells fire and hands people sticks on fire to hold.
