Inflation is a thing. If you continually profit 2% that is growth vs the previous year.
If you profit 2% every year, whether or not it’s a “requirement,” that is limitless growth.
Regardless, the Supreme Court’s opinion about the lack of an on the books law around an obligation is not relevant. We also don’t have a law on the books about how gravity works, nor one about rain making the ground wet.
What did you mean?
What % of the public do you need in order to qualify usage of the statement “general public?”
Is it 51%? That would mean 49% do not agree.
Correct.
If you want to say “there’s a percentage of the general population that likes chocolate,” that would be a true statement; but by the same account, it also means “there is a percentage of the general population that does not like chocolate.” The former implies the latter, and when it breaks down like that, you’re really not saying fuck-all.
Provide some percentages.
100% of me is a % of the general public. Thus, the general public does not agree that all AR-15 owners are conservative dickbags.
He looks a little bit like Paul Rudd
You’re almost there…
Now when you say “a pear” you’re not taking about portions of the pear, you’re talking about the whole thing.
So when you say “general population…” without qualifying the specific portion you’re referring to… go ahead, I’ll let you say it…
You’re clearly still misunderstanding and misusing the term. “General population” is 100% of itself.
“General population” is typically in reference to prison populations; but the term can be used when referencing a full sample size, E.G. 70% of the general population associates red caps with MAGA.
You provided several links (many of which were not relevant) that support the idea that a portion of the population (not the whole of a population) believes something. I am having a hard time figuring out why you are unable to differentiate a % of something from the whole of something.
Am I making an assumption when I think the general public associates red baseball caps with MAGA Trumpers? No, because that’s one of their symbols.
Again, you are doing the same thing, so I guess you’re consistent. I associate “MAGA” hats with Trumpers, sure… but my initial inclination when I see a red hat from afar is that it’s a baseball cap (maybe Angles, Cards, Reds…). Once again, I am a portion of the “general public” that you’re completely ignoring; and in doing such, you make a logical fallacy.
Yes, what you are doing is making an assumption. Again, you do not speak on behalf of “the general public.” You speak on behalf of a portion of the general public and your entire premise is based on a no true Scotsman fallacy.
You need to stop assuming what the general public perceives. You are misapplying your personal perception. Who is the general public, am I excluded from that?
Making incorrect assumptions and speaking on behalf of the “general public” is incredibly rude. Take some of your own advice.
Yea, I see your point - no magazine at all has a capacity of 1.
Fine. I’ll play your game this once, but do you really need it spelled out to you that the AR-15 and other rifles designed to look like military weapons even though they aren’t is what society associates with right-wing assholes who are ready to shoot up those durn libruls and queers?
I despise games, but I despise ignorant bullshit more. I don’t want to play games with you. The AR-15 is a popular choice among rifle owners in the US typically because of the availability of parts and ammo… that’s the main reason. It can accommodate both 5.56 and .223, so again, if you’re actually keeping one around to protect yourself against ______ (fill in the blank) you’ll have a better chance at acquiring ammo.
I’m the polar opposite of a right-wing asshole (the asshole part may still hold), but if more ARs and AR parts are being produced, it’s simply a matter of practicality in the long-term.
Whether you think it’s a fair association or not is irrelevant. That’s what a large segment of the population associates that gun with, including many gun owners.
Fair association? What the fuck are you talking about? I could give a fuck about perceptions, but assuming that everyone that owns an AR is a right-winger is dumb. I don’t think YOU get to speak for a large segment of the population; you simply speak for yourself.
Do you go out to watch deer hunters often, or just when it’s on TV?
So now you’re going to defend your own ignorant statement with, “I should know better?” You should not make blanket assumptions about who owns what. I think you are living under a rock.
