My BiL just got into archery.
It will complement his armor and great sword.
I donāt know what SCA means.
Regardless; Iām not sure I agree that shooting a gun at a target is āpractice killingā but shooting a bow & arrow at the same target is not.
Where do you rank the BB guns that I shot at Girl Scout camp when I was a little kid. Is that practice killing too?
Sure. Though in that case, you arenāt literally playing with a tool used for real life killing. So thatās good.
I would also recommend video games, paintball, laser tag, etc. A huge amount of fun to be had in practice killing.
Annnnyway. The point is you can make a car safer, and it still functions as a car. You canāt really make a gun safer, unless you replace it with a BB gun. The point of a gun is to kill, and a better gun is one that kills more.
You could use a fingerprint trigger lock to make the gun safer without impacting itās intended use
Unless the person whose fingerprint unlocks it decides to use it to kill someone. Then itās just as good at completing its purpose in being invented.
Make sure there are no koalas in the vicinity.

You realize the original Olympics were war games, where each city state showed off the military reasons of their citizens without actually killing anyone, right?

Ask Meph_sidekick. He has a few guns that he is legitimately afraid to fire.
Oh, you mean safer to others, not the shooter. Got it.

The comments of emergency medicine doctors in other countries never seeing a gunshot wound was surprising.
Iām not sure why thatās relevant, but ok. I still donāt consider any of the activities listed, including shooting a gun at a paper target or clay pigeon āpractice killingā.
We may have to agree to disagree.
Three Tennessee state Dās led an anti-gun protest on the state house floor. Looks like theyāre going to be kicked out of the legislature.
How do vacancies get filled?
Probably hand picked by the fascist regime.

Protesting is not allowed in Tennessee? TIL.
Wait, let me guess: they were unarmed, and thatās against the law?

I think using a bull horn from the floor of the state House, egging on protesters in the gallery, while the House was in session might have been over the line.
That being said, the expulsion resolution and some of the comments made when introducing the resolution refer to āfelonious conductā and ābatteryā (as in āassault and batteryā). That feels like an exaggeration to meā¦but the Fox News viewer cult seems to think claims of January 6 being an insurrection is an exaggeration, soā¦

Apologies if this was posted elsewhere, I didnāt see it.
Now see there is someone who should be expelled from the legislature.

Heās not a Dem POC, so heās probably safe.
The current crop of Republicans in the Tennessee state legislature seem particularly rabid, and they are not at all shy about gerrymandering themselves power in excess of what voter preferences would imply.
I think you misspelled Fascist.

Iāll stick with ārabidā. āFascistā theoretically has a specific meaning that doesnāt necessarily apply here, and āfascistā suffers from overuse in ways that deviate from that meaning.
I donāt think Tennessee Republicans (or Republicans in general) are really promoting āstate over individualā (although itās sometimes hard to see that given the extent to which they promote their Party over others).
The problem of their rabidness is their promotion of the idea that individuals should subscribe to a specific set of values, some of which I find reprehensible. But among the values they promote (or at least pay lip-service to) is āindividual before stateā, which is a rather non-Fascist philosophy.
