      The big secret is ful auto or not doesn’t matter, that gun will shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger. And someone like This I’m sure knows how to bump fire from damn near any position.

        Yeah, people think that being able to fire off a whole magazine with one squeeze of the trigger means they can mow down 30 people like a gangster from an old black and white movie.

        If anything, full auto would just make their shots less accurate and they’d run out of ammo faster in the heat of the moment.

          I would use burst fire fairly often but otherwise semi auto was plenty effective. Outside of really rare circumstances fully auto would do little more than show of force and waste ammo.

            Agreed. I could speak for myself, and have done so in the past of my own good faith only to have many misunderstandings and misguided attempts to either scapegoat or pedestal my experiences.

            But just as a general observation, sometimes human built systems tend to produce a minimum degree of suffering and chaotic human behaviour, e.g. familicide, war and crime, this is not on purpose or by design, but simply an example of bad systems engineering, malicious use of technology, etc, and at times incredibly bad faith, between people, where a degree of “human sacrifice” and suffering is normalised to push a dogma or maintain a certain status quo.

            If humanity were to come across or produce another intelligent alien species that then turned around to criticize our very systems and methods of work, then it’s important to consider that we would be stupid to ignore them, because ignorance is oftentimes bliss, but in certain cases can mean displacement.

            The big risk in the near future, however is not necessarily displacement yet but the dismemberment of all of our systems or the opposite, the preservation of the status quo to the point of total failure. Finding the middle ground and creating as many opportunities for common ground and potential harmony as possible in order not only to avoid a direct conflict, but to work towards simply have a good working relationship for everyone’s good
