Oh, so you’re just an awful person. Noted.

That would imply an ability for self-reflection and introspection. I think you could count on one hand the number of writers at any of the GMG sites that are capable of such.

I would’ve gone Stalin vs Hitler, given Mussolini and Hitler were allies, but I think your point still stands. Enemy of my enemy is my friend, etc.

Regardless of your personal feelings toward Bezos, it’s pretty gross and disgusting for any media outlet to threaten to doxx, out, or publish someone’s illegally obtained nude photos, wouldn’t you agree?

But you can’t have an honest discussion of what government should or should not do when you’re not dealing in the facts on the ground, whether you’re coming from the right or the left. It’s disingenuous to paint what Sweden started doing in the 70's as some sort of panacea for all our ills when they decided that maybe

You should probably look into some of the economic reforms Sweden and pretty much all the rest of the Scandinavian countries have made over the last 30 years. Everyone talking about the great and excellent socialism of those countries is relying on the initial implementation of their policies. Many of which have been

The biggest crime is that due to this dumb fucking roster law, Californians are getting raked over the coals just for trying to buy modern, commonly owned firearms. $2500 for a CZ pistol? Get fucked.

Because the list of guns that are off-limits or not is based on nonsense anyway and cops would throw a fucking fit if they had to be restricted to the same types of guns civilians are currently being allowed to own, regardless of any major differences. Point being, when the cops are used to carrying Glocks, they’re

Man, the number of people who don’t understand what socialism is, is frightening.

Besides, how can you expect a state to enforce another state’s laws on someone in your own state? Especially when that person hasn’t broken any laws in your state. That would open up a huge can of worms.

The weapon isn’t the problem. He could’ve bought a much less scary looking Mini-14 and had a weapon that was just as effective and not currently on any lists (that I am aware of) to be banned.

I think that’s more to do with the law regarding firearms transfers. For example, I ordered a handgun from my local gun store, and they charged me the full price minus a penny so that way when the gun actually came in they could charge me something at the time of transfer.

I mean, to play Devil’s Advocate, we do already have laws like this in other places. Bars that overserve patrons who then go on to cause harm can be sued by the victims. The problem you usually run into though is knowing whether or not the bar knew the person was overserved and continued to serve him/her. It’s one

Yes, because the kind of person willing to illegally buy a gun right now will just... not otherwise.

Until laser sintering of metal becomes more feasible to do at home, pretty much. You could probably get away with printing an AR-15 lower out of a suitable plastic, as there are currently polymer lowers on the commercial market (I would guess that most if not all are molded though). But a polymer magazine would be

For the billionth time, a 30 round magazine is not “high capacity”. This is the standard capacity magazine for an AR-15 and the vast majority of semi-automatic, box magazine fed rifles. Labeling them as such is an attempt by anti-gun rights people to shift the narrative and try to get an inch now to take a yard later,

HOWEVER. Magazines require no ID to buy. Not even in states with restrictive gun laws. Which may sound silly, but that’s the way it is. To keep with Webster’s tire analogy, you’re not made to show you have a valid driver’s license to buy a tire.

Somebody never went to Canada when they were 19 to drink. This is completely different from a straw purchase. He was in Texas. It’s perfectly legal for him to buy and possess such a magazine in Texas. Would you feel better if they’d asked him if he was planning on taking it back to Colorado and he’d said no?

Man, with how much effort you’re spending ragging on him, it’s almost like you’re worried he might actually be a better candidate than whoever the Democrats dredge up to run in 2020. Whether he runs ultimately or not, it’s going to be sad when the Democrats decide on some super progressive candidate and then realize

Also another perfectly valid reason. Adults shouldn’t be shamed for ordering smaller portions or simple meals if that’s what they want as the paying customer.
