Reddit reviews The Triangle: A Year on the Ground with New York's Bloods and Crips

The Triangle reminded me a lot of The Wire.

> SO sorry I fucked up one of the gun terms, I obviously know nothing about guns after that.

Well obviously you don't if you if you don't understand what an AR-15 and AK really are, and don't understand how magazines work.

> Ban the MAGAZINES over 15 round standard

Why? You can change a magazine in under 2-3 seconds (at 40 seconds) And most mass shootings occur in places with totally defenseless victims, like schools, churches, and in this case a medical facility. They could do just as much damage with a bolt action rifle or a machete.

> walk into a store and buy a fucking 100 round drum MAGAZINE.

Actually if all mass shooters used 100 round drugs the death tolls would be much lower. 100 round drums suck total ass, and jam all the time. The guy shooting up the theater in CO had a 100 round drum mag, that jammed up multiple times and he ended up ditching it with ~80 rounds still loaded into it.

> Also if you know where the black market is, kindly inform your local police department about it,

Lol it's not a "black market", it a street corner where the local gangs hang out. The cops know full well where it is, there's been books written about the Linden Triangle, with actual interviews with actual gangsters describing exactly how they traffic arms and drugs. But when the demand is stronger and more profitable than the risks of getting caught, crime lives on. Just look at how well the drug war is working out, or stopping illegals from getting over the Mexican border. The police can't stop everything.

Also there's also 2-3 bars that openly serve alcohol to people 18+ in the same town (often times with the cops hanging out at the Popeye's next door watching drunk minors stumble home).

I'm guessing you live in a state like Vermont or just out in a rural / suburban area, and really have no idea what the world is like in densely populated urban areas. You also don't understand jack shit about guns or how they operate.

> if it was not you, that someone would sell their own house and car to get a gun like that, it's obviously not impossible.

So why have exactly zero fully auto weapons been used in any recent mass shootings? You'd have to go back 40-50+ years to find someone murdered with one, and probably back to Al Capone's time to find one used in a mass shooting.


Educate yourself. The world doesn't need ignorant people voting on things they don't even understand. Do some research, then come back and have a real discussion. Because now all you're doing is becoming more and more hostile to cover for the fact that you have no idea what you're talking about. Remember rule number one of this subreddit.
