the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Suppressors are pretty useful in general. They really should be considered a safety device rather than something that makes a gun more deadly.
I read that in Europe, they supposedly encourage gun owners to use silencers when shooting in public spaces (e.g. hunting) because otherwise it would be considered rude to disturb other people lol
I think the concern with suppressors is that they make crimes easier to hide, not that they make guns more deadly.
That’s debatable I think but it’s not an unfounded concern. They don’t make guns silent, it just dampens the noise and flash.
Oh yeah, the effectiveness of suppressors is greatly exaggerated in movies, but they do significantly lower the volume and recognizability of gunshots. That's the whole benefit haha.
