Hacker News Reader

Isn't this supposed to be a HACKERS NEWS blog? What in the hell does some article about pistol sights have to do with this?

I literally only made an account to post about how absurd and out of place this article is. If I wanted some second amendment lovers blog (and I don't), I'd simply find one.

Strike one, "hacker news". Strike one.

It's not news about hackers, it's news for hackers (in the older usage of the word). And clearly lots of us find it interesting. You've got an account now, so you can click "hide", flag it if you feel it's inappropriate, and move on. If enough people agree, the flagging system should take it down.

HN is a news aggregator. A blog is short for web-log:

These words have meaning, and your idea of a 'blog' is even worse than those people that don't know the difference between a blog post and a blog (a collection of posts).
