I’m the writer of the comment. It was meant as a reflection of what they were saying. The original comment was being sarcastic saying they were banning their waistline from getting larger implying it that wouldn’t work, just as the FTC ban wouldn’t work. My comment was saying they should start putting in some effort to prevent their waistline from growing and it might help some, just like the FTC ban is a step in the right direction for making a difference.
Doing nothing and waiting for perfection is not a solution. Complaining about every step not being a complete cure gets no where. The only way to start making a difference is to take some action. It probably won’t be ideal, but it’s better than nothing and gets things moving the right way.
Basically, my comment was flipping their sarcastic dismissive reply into a serious productive message.
Yeah, putting different rounds in a magazine isn’t that weird. It’s particularly useful if you are using tracers, to notify you when the end of the magazine is coming up for example, and to only have a tracer every few rounds. Even without that, there are reasons someone might have for mixing rounds in a magazine. Obviously, like you said, same caliber is how this is done. If it’s alternating calibers then that’s not great.
