If I have this right, only climate scientists can have an opinion on climate change, but any jackass can opine on guns even if they don’t know a .22 from a 12 gauge.— J.R. Salzman (@jrsalzman) March 9, 2018

It is my understanding that this sort of attempt by those of us who are knowledgeable about firearms technology and terminology to correct those who are clueless about same is now derided as "Gunsplaining". Note that the link goes to what might be called a "friendly" site, as opposed to the ones that criticize "gunsplaining" as using "jargon" in "bad faith" to "bully" the gun grabbers...
Because terminological inexactitude is unimportant when The Feelz are at stake.
So, remember, next time you feel the need to correct someone on "Standard Capacity" versus "High Capacity" magazines, or to explain the difference between the independent and dependent clauses in certain articles in The Bill of Rights, or why cosmetic features make little or no difference to the actual functioning of a firearm, or why certain firearm features are actually safety features...
...Remember, I say, that you are engaging in jargon-based, bad-faith, bullying behavior.
Make sure you capture any progressive tears that ensue, as I am assured that they make excellent firearms lubricant.

Sigh... Why am I not surprised by this? Yet another reason I've given up on them. They have NO desire to actually listen.
