Crime / Guns / Booze / War Does This Anti-Tank Weapon Make Me Look Fat?

- Just in case the Seattle Times editorial board ever acquires a tank, I'm prepared.
I'm not saying it's easy to acquire anti-tank weapons, but, you know, I now have one, so how hard could it be?

@2,
I don't think that the Montlake Ale House is really concerned about a fake AT-4.
Goldy, does that bitch that embezzled the Northwest Actors Studio funds to pay some Nigerian scammer for her lottery winnings still go to drinking liberally?
Also you are getting fat. You never really looked good...but you look bad.

The AT-4 is a preloaded single shot unit, it can not be reloaded.
But in general explosives require a giant ATF background check and a $200 NFA tax stamp both for the launcher and per round.

unless you come up with verifiable proof of that accusation regarding northwest actors studio, @4, you are a big fat liar.

Maybe Goldy should do that, he is the one who calls himself a fucking journalist.
I suggest starting at their 401c3 number. Former students might also prove to be a good lead.

I'm surprised that Cascadian Bacon has not mentioned anything about penises or black men; maybe I"m mistaking this persona for one of the other ones.

Love it, Goldy! Any time a gun nut stats talking about their very abbreviated second amendment, I no longer argue. I just say, "I want a bazooka."
Their logic starts falling apart at that point.
And you look fine, Goldy - very writerly. CB is an ass and he can kiss mine.

@4, 7: yeah, pretty sure that's a fake AT-4B, not an AT-4, so every point you've ever made on Slog is now invalid.
24
Every teacher should have one of those. The big green weapon thing, not the ale. Or the journalist.

You do not have an anti-tank weapon. You have a plastic tube.
None of this has anything whatsoever to do with guns and/or the 2nd Amendment.
I don't understand the point of this post. What's your point Goldy?

That looks like what I fired when I was in the Army. They are fun. Why wouldn't the second amendment apply to bearing that sort of arm?
32
@21 It's inert, but it's not fake. It's an M136 AT4 84-mm unguided, portable, single-shot anti-tank missile launcher. The model number "AT4 13229861" is clearly printed on the side.
35
I've shot 5 or 6 of those. When someone shoots one a few feet your left or right and slightly behind you it feels like a slap across the face. It's a nice rush though.
I always thought Goldy was in his 20's. Usually people dump ridiculous notions by age 30.

"It's an AT-4" "No it's not, it's an AT-48" "Dude, it is totally an AT-4"
That's why gun nuts can't have nice things. They don't even know what things are.

Why does the 2nd amendment NOT apply to Goldy's "Rocket-launcher-minus-the-rocket?"
Well, does the second amendment apply to this?:

How about these?:

Watch out pot heads.... you might get blown up by this anti-tank weapon:

HOLY SHIT!!! A WHOLE FUCKING ROOM FULL OF ANTI-TANK WEAPONS!!!

Understand yet?
Goldy does NOT have an anti-tank weapon.
He has a plastic tube.
Understand?
It's not a gun. No matter how much you want to scare people into thinking it's a gun. You couldn't kill anyone with that thing.

I also find it a bit ironic that Goldstein looks far creepier than anyone in his gun buy back article. I certainly wouldn't sell him a gun, he looks like he would use it to molest children, or hold up a pie shop.

@4:
Ann Graham died last October, so it's unlikely she would still be drinking - well, anywhere.
@8:
@4's version, while certainly antagonistic (perhaps with cause) toward the late Ms Graham, is nevertheless, essentially correct.
Ann wasn't exactly at her mental peak the last several years NWAS was in existence, and she DID in fact get suckered into a Nigerian Email Scam sometime in early 2007, to the point that she actually went to Sea-Tac to meet the "courier" who was supposed to be arriving with the magic check.
After letting her skate on rent for several months, her landlord Anne Michelson, finally gave her an eviction notice in June 2007; Annex Theatre moved in the following month and basically cleaned out the detritus that had collected there over 20 some-odd years - including "Bob, the friendly tweaker" who was living in a tiny back space on the second floor, at Ann's invitation.

Goldy,
True dat. But, I wouldn't want you "tanked" and operating an anti-tank gun at the same time. You might miss your target.

39, The second amendment says "arms", not "guns". By definition, a shoulder mounted rocket launcher is an arm.
47
@46,
It's not a shoulder mounted rocket launcher. It's a plastic tube. There's no rocket in it.
It's not a gun or an arm. It's a tube.

47, Regardless of what's in the picture with Goldy, why shouldn't people be able to bear arms in the form of shoulder mounted rocket launchers?
52
@51,
Why shouldn't people be able to own rocket launchers? I think they should be able to own them.
I think arms of any type should be legal to own... that said,
I also think that arms should be heavily regulated, such that anyone wanting to purchase a rocket launcher would have to be thoroughly grilled and checked out by the BATF.

@54,
As long as you're deemed responsible enough to keep them, yes.
I don't think any one person is responsible enough to keep NBC weapons though. I'm pretty sure the only private owners of those kinds of things are corporations and foundations.

56
55, So you don't trust individual citizens with NBC weapons, and you think they should be prevented from owning such arms because you deem them not responsible enough?
57
Also 55, You're just engaging in bullshit double speak. You say citizens who are responsible enough should have NBC arms, then you go on to say that no citizens are responsible enough. Cutting through your twisting and spinning, that means you're for banning some types of arms from citizens.
58
@Rob,
Well, not because I deem them not responsible enough... I wouldn't want to have the burden of deciding who is or is not capable of owning something like that. But a group of elected officials, or a group appointed by elected officials, with knowledge and experience in these matters, could decide who is responsible enough for NBC weapons.
Saying I don't believe anyone is responsible enough isn't the same as banning. Banning means "No, under no circumstances, no matter what." There's a chance I could be incorrect and there actually is a single person responsible enough for those weapons, I just highly doubt it.
Why does there have to be an overarching blanket "ban" of something? Why can't things like this be taken on a case by case basis?

Personally I don't think anyone is responsible enough to own chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, especially not governments.
Though to be fair, every well stocked cleaning cabinet has the potential to make WW1 era chemical weapons.
