Give some kids some candy, they eat candy for a day.

Give them a handgun and they eat candy wherever they fucking want.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 33 points 22 hours ago

This is how you stop school shootings. Good kids with guns stop bad kids with guns.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago

Lunatics put blades in those things.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

No no, no, the lunatics put trigger locks on those here.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 23 points 21 hours ago

They're called bayonets, sir.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 20 hours ago

He's talking about the ones in the licking hole.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 83 points 1 day ago

Most houses only give out little .22's for Halloween, but go to the ritzy neighborhoods and you'll get full sized DEagles and P-90s.

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Kids just primarily prefer a handgun cartridge that's suitable for putting into a rifle for game hunting. It simplifies what sort of ammunition to carry in their backpack. .45 long colt or .357 magnum should do the trick. .10mm auto if you're dead set on semiautomatic.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 17 hours ago

A p90 and not a complementary Five-seveN?! How unamerican.

[-] rugburn@lemmynsfw.com 25 points 1 day ago

My neighborhood would be seized up Hi-Points

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

I have a .45 Hi-Point carbine. Flawless operation, had never malfunctioned, weighs 10-pounds, impossible to clean. Along with other... odd design choices.

Hi-Points are what you get by giving a group a very smart engineers a list of things the product needs to do. A group of engineers that has never seen an actual gun.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

For everyone trying to imagine what they are talking about - i had no clue

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Mum the yanks are talking about their guns again.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago

Poor photographic skills. Were are the holed socks or bare feet in the picture? You need to either turn in your HiPoint or destroy that picture and take a proper photograph!

[-] Krzd@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

A minimum of crocs is required for a proper hiPoint picture

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago

I would disagree a bit as a traditionalist. But, I'm fine with changing tastes.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

White is much better. Nice!

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I have a Hi-Point .45 pistol and that pretty accurately describes it (the weight is fine but the balance is weird and makes it feel terrible).

I use it as a close range backup when I'm hog hunting. I've only had to use it once and it worked just fine. It literally saved me from being at least maimed and possibly dead but I still hate it. And I'll keep using it until it stops working, which may be the apocalypse.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Damn. I really want one, but I already have a Colt .45 and the weight is the same. Is it this one?

Speaking of hogs, I'm outside all the time in NW Florida and have never seen one or evidence of them. OK, two came to my house, apparently lost, but I've never seen them in the wild. Horror of mine as a sounder would level my camp in the boonies. Where they at?!

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

It's that in black. That Colt is going to feel much better, though.

Northeast Texas. I've got a buddy up there with some land and we have to go clear them out a couple of times a year. They tear up everything. He lost a dog to them a few years ago and now we go out there like clockwork instead of waiting for them to get closer to the house.

P90, it's Secret Service sponsored entrapment.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

Lawful evil kid standing behind a tree spawn camping the newly armed trick or treaters

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Come on guys let’s go to the Hendersons house they give Full Auto’s, we can egg this house later.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

I always eat a few of their bullets. That's called the Dad Tax

[-] iii@mander.xyz 13 points 1 day ago

Americans are so generous.

I hope they have at least 15 rounds each in them. Not a those shitty California clips.

[-] neanderthal@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

clips.

Magazines. Magazines include a feeding mechanism, usually a spring. Clips just hold bullets together.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Very pedantic for a neanderthal

Neanderthals were fairly progressive, mancaves came later.

probably would find that out here in the boonies further back

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 6 points 1 day ago

What's up with Lemmy getting me to look up guns today?

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 points 9 hours ago

Shooting guns at paper targets, sporting clays and other targets is tons of fun.i took my MIL to a quiet outdoor range to shoot for the first time in her life. A few months later she bought a Glock 17. Reduced capacity magazines because California, but she loves to go shooting.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

Texas got its power back and is posting again.

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

"I heard this house on only has compact 9mm hi points, pfft, they say the house next door is giving out full size sig sauers, let's go there"

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 0 points 9 hours ago

I don't think anyone has ever accused HiPoint of ever manufacturing and marketing anything as a compact firearm. This is the company that will literally sell you a Yeet Cannon......

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

gross they still have serial numbers

[-] prayer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 20 hours ago

Don't worry, there's always that one house that gives out files instead.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago

We have a dremal at home........

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Wait, does Halloween even exist outside the US and its hat?

I thought it was just an us and our hat holiday.

Id imagine it exists everywhere the Catholic Church went. Most places likely didn't commercialize it to people like we did though.

Think it's called All Saints day in some places

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

In most of Europe, tomorrow evening most people will go to the graves of their former relatives and light candles, it is quite beutiful.

I am considering bringing my trusty kerosene fuled storm lantern for both ambience and finding my way in the dark chruch yards.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Do they give you your free candy when you get to the graves or is that later? When do you get the sweeties?
