    Yeah, I respect the principle, but it isn’t realistic.

    By the time someone embraces that kind of ideology, you aren’t talking them out of it. And, more important, you aren’t ending the ideology one at a time.

    It takes something huge to break through that kind of thinking and built up hate. Yeah, you run into cases of it happening when the nazi/fascist/white supremacist/bigot changes over time when no longer able to have support and has someone guiding them. But that’s not going to end it once it’s an existential threat.

    And it is. The ideology was tolerated too long, and supported by people in power. You just don’t have time to talk that away.

        Well, yeah, on an individual basis.

        You need something with a bit better ballistics, and nore versatility than the typical 9mil platform, which is often a handgun. For effective large scale efforts, you’d be looking at something like 7.62, 5.56, or even the old reliable 308. Hell, if you don’t mind going with something that’s less widely available in terms of big stockpiles, the field is wide open.

        Tbh though, if it’s handgun only, I’m still going .45. Yeah, you lose capacity, but you gain in effective force delivered.

        9mm would be more for burner use against single targets for sure. Easy to get, and easy to get cheaply, so easy to toss.

        The fuck did you think I was talking about? When I mean huge, I mean taking care of the nazi problem period.

      It takes something huge

      you are talking in absolutes and as if you knew what huge thing would solve the issue, but i guess you don’t since this thread is about punching individuals in the face?
