@Gargron Yup will do, thanks, thats all i wanted to know.

@Gargron Any info on what this does that I can read?

Thanks for the new feature though.

I'd support a "right to bear encryption" amendment :)

Nothing i could disagree wit there.

@dantheclamman

@dantheclamman I take no offense to respectable discourse no matter what your intentions.

I am also a scuba diver, specifically a deep ocean/tech diver. The odds of a random person picked from the population of surving a dive to 400 feet is probably extremely low, they have no idea what to do. The odds of me, someone with a great deal of training and understanding has a pretty low chance of dying. So similarly it would be pretty absurd for me to base my decision on the population average rather than considering the risks for me as an individual given my understanding and practices.

@dantheclamman Odds dont tend to apply for individuals.

Ig you wanted to know *my* odds then youd have to gather statistics for people who are most similar to me in both training, intelligence, ideals, temperment, and practices.

Obviously the odds of someone who is reckless or irresponsible with their guns is on one end of that bell curve and the odds of someone who is responsible and well trained on the other.

So really has little to no applicability to me as an individual.

Now if you want to talk about how we can make guns safer for the general population, sure, there is some relevance here, but that is not what is being discussed.

@Ajz@mastodon.nl Thanks, it will be needed.

@dantheclamman It has a great many useful purposes, sport, decoration, defense, hunting, science experiments (of which i did a few with it). Defence is certainly one aspect where it can play a role, and i am prepared should it need to play that role. But in the end that is truely the least likely role the gun will ever actually play. All the others are far more applicable .

@dantheclamman I do, it will be used for self defence in the one in a million chance i need to. But of the thousands of bullets fired so far (and likely into the future) it has all been sport shooting.

Having a gun for home defence,like insurance, is just being a responsible adult. It hardly means that it is the primary function of the gun, just one of the many benefits should it ever be needed.

@dantheclamman combat? no one uses weapons for combat. Its for participating in a sport (shooting is a sport at ranges). In all liklihood it will never be used against a person, just like most guns.

Moreover if the scope was ever used outside of a shooting range most AR-15 are used for hunting (mostly small game) due to its excellent design and small caliber bullet.

@dantheclamman Nope, the scope is used at the shooting range. Laser and the other red dot sight are the ones used for close range. Thakfully due to the multiple mount points of the design you can cover all the ranges well.

@dantheclamman Quite a few. It would be far safer than a handgun for example due to improved accuracy (and relatively weak bullets for a rifle). There is a reason it is the most common gun, it performs very well.

@kithop You'd have trouble doing a volumetric render on ct scans. They dont give you the resolution you really need.

Hell you cant even get soft tissue with an MRI unless you use contrast.

@snder He wasnt that specific. I just know the club at his gun range needed to approve him first in some way which took like 2 years of practice.

@MiaDees I am nt sure how much of it is due to how i was laying. But id think its natural for organs to shift position to some degree.

@snder He wasnt a cop but his shooting range had to give certify him or something before he was allowed. I dont know the details myself

@niveayamenterovna@quey.org haha

@snder Actually my buddy in the netherlands has one and keeps it in his home. Only difference was that it took him more time to be allowed. Basically need to show competence.
