minus-squarelolcatnip@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·10 months ago And WTF is a “laser-sighted weapon”? It’s a gun that basically has a fancy laser pointer mounted on it so the dot from the laser shows where the bullet will go. It’s not exactly exotic, and it’s no more scary than the gun by itself.
