"In addition to that, I still don't understand why some people feel the need to arm themselves as if they might suddenly encounter a ninja army. I mean, six is plenty, twelve is a lot, and when you have a modern semi, with two, three, or more additional magazines, you're starting to be paranoid about an impending zombie apocalypse."
I think thats referred to as 'argumentum reductum ad absurdum' or something liek that. Cant answer, so you go wildly off into inventing a hysterical alternative, which is also an ad hominem (personal attacK)
If you cant figure it out, youre hopeless.
Your first problem is a superiority complex, that everyone but you is wrong.
I carry upwards of 30 rounds in 3 tactical loads, from rattlesnake shot loads to +Ps.
Instead of attacking others, try some education.
Carry two 10 round mags and lose one. Thats loss of half your capacity
I, personally, find your entire post to be a personal attack (ad hominem - I find the use of Latin to be indicicative of a superiority complex).
You obviously didn't read my entire post, nor any of the rest of the thread. I believe I made it clear (I suppose not clear enough) that I not only OWN modern guns with gobs of ammunition, but have no problem with people CARRYING multiple guns with gobs of ammunition. I simply stated I saw no need for it, and found it absurd, in my personal opinion.
I started this thread, after reading post after post after post after post, all over this forum, of modern-gun-owners criticizing and mocking those of us who carry wheel-guns for political/personal/simplybecausewelikethegun reasons. Sure, I had a little rant there. So, I started this thread with the intent of engaging people like myself, with a love of classic firearms, who might feel the same as I do. You, senor, were the kind I was attempting to avoid.
Let's look at this another way. Would it not be paranoid if a person refused to drive their car without an engine hoist, ball joint press, brake lathe, assorted wrenches and sockets, cylinder hone, screwdrivers, jumper pack, electrical tester, and a valve grinder? Sure it would. Would you be ready for any mechanical eventuality? Most likely. Is it necessary? Depends on your point of view. Is having a pair of jumper cables and a jack in your car paranoid? Not really. You're just being prepared for the most common vehicular failures. Would you be safer with more stuff? Not really, if an accident is going to happen, it'll happen either way. What transpires afterwards is incidental. Either way, I don't give a damn, because I'm only responsible for myself. Personally, I carry a few small tools in my car, as I am a mechanic and can fix a lot of stuff with a few odds and ends. I wouldn't envy a person with tons of tools, nor despise a man without a simple jack. It's really not my problem, nor yours, nor anybody's but their own.
So, to conclude. You posted this:
"If you cant figure it out, youre hopeless."
And this:
"Your first problem is a superiority complex, that everyone but you is wrong."
Now, I may have ranted and raved about theoretical people whom I did not name or point particular fingers at, but it seems here that you are personally attacking me, as an actual 'argumentum ad hominem'. Per Wikipedia, which I use since I don't speak Latin, nor care to:
"Abusive ad hominem usually involves attacking the traits of an opponent as a means to invalidate their arguments. Equating someone's character with the soundness of their argument is a logical fallacy."
If I am hopeless, with a superiority complex, then why in the world would you bother arguing with me? I'd find that a waste of my time, if I were you.
