    You just completely switch the argument with a red herring.

    It doesn’t matter whether that person is a safe gun owner or not here. And a lost round of ammunition is such an armchair take it makes me question if you should even have an opinion on the subject…

    A round of ammunition in your bag should not equate to years of prison, end of story.

    I had a box of .22 rounds in my backpack that I was bringing back from the gun store. Lo and behold it was loose, and some had unknowingly fell into my bag. I didn’t notice they were there for years until I did a deep clean of my backpack. No one counts throw-away ammunition.

        Good to see that Lemmy is becoming as toxic A wasteland as Reddit ever was.

        • Armchairing ✅
        • Personal attacks instead of attacking the arguments ✅
        • Silent downvotes instead of actual discussion ✅
        • Misrepresenting an anecdote ✅

        All I did was provide an anecdote to show how easy it is to lose a round of ammunition. No one is strictly inventorying their .22 ammunition, it literally comes in boxes of loose rounds. Holes in the corners easily cause some to be misplaced during transportation. It’s not common but it happens, and when it does you’re not going to know, because, again, no one is inventorying their loose rounds.

        Despite me calling out the armchair opinion, you decide that doubling down on the armchairness was more appropriate, and used an anecdote as a way to personally attack me, instead of my argument.

        You made no attempt to actually address the point I was making, and instead took the easy route which is just personal attacks…

        You can do better than that.
