@readingsit I went two times to the gun store near me to purchase my guns, both were during this past summer/fall. Hell I was able to pick up an AR for 750 2 weeks out from election day.
Outside of a clear background check and photo ID there wasn't much else I had to do.
@readingsit I'm wondering then if there isn't just a difference in doing background checks. Some folks like to hold and send them at the end of the day. I got both of my guns within, like, 20 minutes and that was with everything extra. The background came back like instantly.
My one statement on guns that usually makes people mad is; Explain to me why you have the right to tell me what I can and can't do to protect myself if you aren't affected.
Obviously there are some common sense barriers to that. I can't fill my doors with Tanerite to prevent someone from...
@Teddy The latter without a doubt.
With how many guns are having components able to be replaced by 3D printers and the fact that you can get everything you need to make a gun at a Home Depot there really isn't an option to just ban guns.
@wowfucktron
Words cannot describe how hilarious it is that a bunch of colonizers are saying shit like this. Also I almost feel like now the CIA needs to have a few more Pinochets get put back into power.

@wowfucktron Somehow I wish we were back during the days these idiots were screaming on Tumblr and thinking that raiding /b/ was something people could do.
God the memes were fantastic back then.
But also its kinda hilarious that Latinos are complaining about white people when technically you...
I mean I've heard Anglo used as an insult but that's because I roll with the 'Fuck the English' crowd.
I've seen it as a meme but if it really is being used as an insult can I file hostile work environment on anyone who says it to me?
I want to live the meme.
ALSO, in regards to the gender...
@Tamerlane I want to make sure I understand where your take is, are you saying that you felt my statement was in favor of being closed minded?
And I understand your Umbridge with my statement on conservatives being the only ones who care so let me try to better explain my disclaimer.
Much like...
Having a fixed mindset is not something good.
The entire point of someone a fixed mindset is the difficulty of accepting the idea that someone can actually improve with personal effort.
Its the mindset of, if I don't have the talent, I can't do it therefore only people with talent should do it...
@wowfucktron I've told people before but I'll say it here because it's worth saying; anytime these puritans form up around anything, they'll start screaming at everyone until they tear themselves apart.
They're no different than the prohibitionists who fucked up 90 years of American policy...
There's a book called Mindset by Carol S Dwek that points out a lot of the same stuff you said @wowfucktron though in some very different ways.
People that hold those types of leftist views tend to have fixed mindsets in more than one area of their life. Kinda like religious fanatics and how...
@wowfucktron Not before the government tries to pull of a Patriot Act 2.0.
When you got Ex-CIA in the press trying to justify using anti-Terror tactics used abroad in the US unchallenged by anyone in media you have a severe issue of elitist tomfuckery.
Conservatives and neocons are gonna...
@Tamerlane I both get and don't get the reasoning behind AOCs stunt there.
If you had come out and said "I was worried that I was going to be attacked because of how much heinous shit people have threatened me with online" and left it at that, it would have done the exact same thing as her...
@Tamerlane; Biden is sitting in office on borrowed time and he knows it.
For all the Ree-ing about Trump Supporters and Trumpism it's more likely that some of the Antifa types are going to launch any kind of attack.
Granted I can only hope the current fascist state forming continue to be...
On a separate note, https://youtu.be/roAvx9uzwVM its crazy that some states would look at this situation and say the guy who got ran at by the knife wielding idiot should be charged with murder.
Relevant experience is just another set of words that have been abused to mean something holistically different from what it used to.
Anyone who actively puts effort into research on any topic and shows proper understanding has relevant experience.
Though relevant experience shouldn't be a...
