Reasonable, Jazz? Really? People that know nothing absolutely about firearms get to tell me what is reasonable?

If I kill a person by hitting them with a Ferrari 458 versus a Ford Econoline van how is it any friggin' different?

...

I smell the bullshit, too.

The factory trigger on a Glock 34 is roughly 3.8 pounds. To suggest that reducing the trigger on the G19 is dangerous is silly.

And if I recall correctly Glock itself used to advertise that the 34/35 have 3.5 pound triggers (even though they don't).

What about all the 1911s out there with cough-on-it move-a-millimeter single action triggers? How come those are popular?

This all gets me thinking about how nice the trigger is on my current AR. And how shitty the trigger was on my gov't issue.

I mean, if I shoot someone with my current AR and they say it was "manufactured to kill" what does that say about my old M4?

Wait... *snaps out of bullshit-induced doubt-coma*

Are these the same people that suggest you should carry FMJ/LRN/CCI Snake Shot instead of JHP?

Or the people that suggest you're only allowed to wound because "murder is murder?"

Apparently you can get fucked with a legal pitchfork dildo regardless in this country.

I say shoot the bastard and get judged by idiots over getting wounded / killed.

...

I believe Armalite and Kel-Tec were sued because their trigger pulls supposedly resulted in accidental deaths.

I'm going to pull my lazy card and suggest that the whole suit is complete yuppie hogwash. "X made me do it!"

I don't care how light or heavy a trigger is, if I'm deliberately pulling it and get a bang then I have the intention to kill.

The Old and Holy rules of gun use already dictate: keep your finger off the trigger, don't point the gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy.

...

All of this bullshit is somebody blaming an inanimate object for their poor snap judgment.

We're judged by our idiot peers. They see every gun as a Uzi or an AK47.

They see scoped hunting rifles as sniper rifles and your Glock is a "Gangsta Cop Killer."

Even at a relatively open-minded and educated forum like TFP I've seen people say,

"You know what handguns are for? Killing people."

No shit, Sherlock. So are cigarettes and Firestone tires.

...

Huh. I'm starting to see why some guys think I'm a retard for even keeping less lethal rounds on one of my home defense guns.

I see the utility in having different types of ammo. They just see how it'll work out in court. I'm fucking up their juju.

...

Anyway... I can't wait to change my G19 trigger to one similar on my G34. I want a slightly lighter pull and I can't stand the G19 serrations.
