Why the hell would a licensed gun owner use their own (likely registered) firearm they paid (on average) over $500 to say rob a liquor store?

If in those sorts of dire straights and in need of money you sell your firearm (I have bought some off of people in just such a low place). This once again goes back to social policy, if there is no safety net then desperate people do desperate things.

Canada I did not want to use as an example since no matter what law is passed (for whatever political reason) its all pointless when you have the us right there providing all the illegal firearms any criminal would want. Canada should build a wall, and make the us pay for it…

Wait until you hear their opinions on health insurance companies gouging.

Well what do we call the gaggle of billionaires around this administration then? (I don’t want to call them lords, so maybe a gargle?)

As a non-US gun owner and 3d printing hobbyist who has done some metal working. 3d printing a gun is one of the harder ways of doing so. The issue is that guns are not hard to make in today’s world, it has been demonstrated that “hard” gun control does not work. The two best examples of “hard” gun control are Japan and the UK and both have examples of how unrealistic these are, In Japans case a homemade gun was used to kill Shinzo Abe and the UK (you would think I would use the troubles but no) is best summed up by a man named Philip Luty who was an anti gun control activist who published a book on how to make automatic firearms in a shed.

You hit the nail on the head with solving though social policies however. Even a simple gun licensing program and mandatory safety training can turn a nation of idiots with guns (the US) into a nation that has gun owners in it (like Italy or malaysia). I don’t think gun violence is going away, it is now a part of the human condition. What can be done is to not hand out firearms like candy and tie the idea of a nations “safety” or “freedom” to that of firearm ownership.

Wide birth? They literally gave the sitting president full immunity to any and all law. He could have shot trump in the face on live TV and pissed on his dying form while asking for ice cream.

And now trump can do those things. Biden did not abuse the ruling since he clearly did not agree with it, but also (in Democrat tradition) did nothing about one of, if not the most dangerous supreme court rulings to ever happen in the us. The sitting president is now king in all but name.

Yeah, on foreign soil and across the world. Lol I want to figuratively see what they can do at home especially now that their ethics are out the window

This was you correct? Unless you want to see what they can do “at home” to a foreign power.

This series of posts is about armed counter movements in the united states. And here you are accusing me of assuming what was said.

Why would their “ethics” come into play in foreign soil? You don’t think Cletus might think twice when asked to fire hell fire missiles into Grand Papas house?

The us did not have a lack of boom overseas, its always had the logistics to put “warheads on foreheads” anywhere in the world.

In the “homeland”? I don’t think you even understand the sort of cluster fuck of a military operation you are proposing. Like do you think if a civil war broke out, all the “sides” would separate and fly a flag? At this point it would be like other modern civil wars with a just mess of sides and no clear front.

Less?

Don’t ya know, guns can just ✨ magically appear✨

Look! the MAGIC!

The same US military that is batting a fat zero in winning wars of insurgency? Remember all those videos of afghan people getting killed in thermal vision from “a mile away”? Those guys won.

spark outrage

Fucking do something! I am sick of reading how X is upset at how things have be ruined at Y.

Troops see rising political tension in the ranks, poll shows

Please tell us how tensions rise if everyone in the armed forces agree? You also realize this is a poll, and that it also breaks down very different by branches and that is a touch more pressing. Say you have all the marines and army willing to put jackboots on necks but the air force or navy says “no”. Hell what happens if just the doods who run the Triad are like super gay and pissed off, this idea that there is no 5th column possible is funny in its absurdity.

JFC

Close but its more of a RFK sorta thing (really just as much of an exclamation)

What? Not that I have seen. And even if they did, you think people don’t have an issue with this as long as they are “on the right”? You can not out of one side of your mouth say “70% of americans don’t want this” and from the other “But there is nothing we can do, they are too many” (I know this was not you but that other dood, but the idea is the same)

a fucking civil war?

Sure, that might work. Oh and that “largest and most advanced military” is made up of those same people who you think are 70% of the population. Maybe see what happens when people actually take some action, instead of just giving up and bitching about it.

A world leader who has almost the direct opposite view on geopolitics as well. We truly live in clown world

Poor Donald Tusk. Having to have a name so close to the more (in)famous leader who seems to be your almost exact evil counterpart.

I am sad that due to the sheer mass of stupid new shit trump is pulling the impending implosion of north American trade (and therefor economy) is getting very little coverage (even Canadian news at the moment is covering other things).

So are we now calling this the “trump” chair?
