    No I say this as an outraged and confused witness to an abduction of two innocent women. I say this as a disenfranchised voter who is sick and tired of a complicit media using passive language about a Trump loving immigrant from the UK who just shot their daughter. I say this as a firearms owner who sadly cannot advocate for any new gun laws during the current constitutional congress in this country for fear of a Nazi like gun grab. I say this as a son, brother, father and citizen that my rights and the rights of all people in the United States are currently under threat, watching two innocent women be terrorized by Brownshirted thugs backed by a federal office. I say this as a confused resident of a country that continues to refuse to stand up for itself, held captive by controlled opposition called a Democratic party. I say this as a worker who is trying to organize a national strike, as a maker shipping whistles and radios and old mini PCs across this country so that neighborhoods can build rapid response teams to combat this shit.

    Very fucking unsafe to drive the muzzle of your rifle into any rigid object. Muzzle strikes are a thing. However you target the soft tissue of an assailant that has gotten within grabbing distance of your weapon and you do not want to kill them.

    What this asshole did is dangerous on many fronts. They’re using what appears to be their suppressor, which is atleast an 8" lever, that’s likely screwed into an adapter that’s then screwed onto the barrel. It’s as much of a rube goldberg setup as it sounds. However under normal wear and tear still usually robust. It’s designed to be used in tension to suppress the muzzle flash and report of a fired round by slowing and cooling the resulting gasses.

    What it’s not designed to be used as, is a FUCKING HAMMER, which puts it in compression. This asshole is striking a hard surface, with a steel blunt tube, comprised of a very complicated inner geometry. Not only that but he’s striking at an angle levering the wide and rigid tube against a narrow coupler. I see a baffle strike and a ruined suppressor in his future. Possibly a ruined barrel crown depending on how much he just fucking bent that shit.

    Now, to the biomechanics of what is happening. He had his hand on the pistol grip and his support hand on the foregrip. There’s no fucking leverage there he can meaningfully exert. There’s a reason spears don’t have pistol grips. So the hand around the pistol grip is going to try to get the most purchase on the weapon. Which means it’ll be riding up to the upper of the weapon and on the way there it could turn the weapon safety. Also, around that pistol grip is the trigger.

    The driver of that car is being terrorized, by a moron, who very easily could’ve had a negligent discharge and shot her.

    Fucking nightmare fuel all around. Those poor women. I hope they get justice because I would’ve gone to jail or died if it were me recording.
