The reason Glocks are so popular is because so many customers buy them, pure and simple.
That's nothing but pure circular reasoning. In other words, "the reason that Glocks are so popular is because [they're so popular], pure and simple."
Whether you like it or not they are good enough to command such loyalty whether some folks understand it or don't like it ... the market sorts out the good from the bad, not naysayer individuals who hate free choice...
Only in an economics textbook are things so neat and simple. Actually, no, not even there anymore.
Out here in the real world, asymmetric access to information, confirmation bias, and a host of other innate, maladaptive human cognitive tendencies -- and the burgeoning science of manipulating those biases and tendencies -- make things one hell of a lot more complicated and messy. But that's a discussion for another time and place, I suppose.
I have no idea where the naysayer/freedom-hater mini-rant came from. No one has suggested depriving anyone of, or shown any hatred for, free choice.
Only one person has even stated that the gun has no redeeming value at all. A number of people just happen to think that something (or some things) aside from the pure merits of the particular product and size of the preexisting unmet need(s) is playing a significant role in its success. There's definitely no need to feel so threatened by this.
Where some of these folks come up with stuff about Glocks is beyond me ... pure jealousy is the only reason I can see.
If you don't like Glocks DON'T BUY THEM. it is that simple...
As previously stated, if you do not like a Glock, Don't buy one.
These emotion-driven comments are totally irrelevant to this discussion. No one here is hating on Glocks. It's just a discussion of some gun-related phenomena that some of us find interesting. Again, no need to feel so threatened by this.
