Honestly Dinesh D’Souza is not really a popular figure in conservative circles. He’s like Milo, he’s loud and obnoxious, and people notice him. But nobody with any power actually gives a damn what he thinks.

I think most of that group probably shouldn’t be able to purchase a firearm, but it should have included some kind of appeal process just to protect due process.

It really didn’t target mental illness at all. It prevented anyone on disability who has their checks sent to someone else from purchasing firearms, with no ability to repeal. There were a lot of mental disability advocates who were worried it would set a precedent of executive orders restricted the rights of the…

They’re pretty handy for varmint hunting like pigs or coyotes. You don’t want to worry about reloading if you’ve got an angry 500 lb. boar bearing down on you. Alligator hunting is super illegal in most states, so I hope your friends have permits.

That regulation was actually pretty controversial from the start. The ACLU supporting Trump’s decision to overturn it.

That would require more like $300 billion. And what if dad doesn’t want to sell his Glock?

Teaching firearm safety classes to kids is unlikely to have any effect on mass shooting deaths.

Why did Kamala Harris vote no on the King-Rounds bill (the one 46 Dems voted for)?

This is one of the few things I’ve seen mentioned that actually stands a chance. I think other reasonable measures would be 21 minimum for any firearms purchase (in most states it’s 21 for handguns and 18 for long guns), and stricter reporting to the background check database.

Why didn’t Obama push gun control through in 2009/2010?

That’s something like 10 times the estimated cost of The Wall™ (which is a dumb idea anyway).

Adjusted for inflation (I’m assuming those are 1996 US dollars) that would $1146 per gun today. That’s ~$345 billion if I’m doing the math right. Even if you just limited it to AR-15 platform rifles, there are still about 15 million in US private hands. So that’s somewhere around $17 billion.

What gun control legislation would you like to see passed?

The B-1 really isn’t that much quicker, especially when you consider how much fuel they burn through when they light the afterburners. Realistic cruising speed for both is about 0.8 Mach.

Singapore is an interesting case. Lee Kuan Yew was technically the PM, but he ruled largely as an authoritarian dictator with a puppet parliament for 30 years. He put strict limits on civil liberties, but led Singapore to develop into a largely egalitarian, multicultural, and very prosperous society.

B-52s would only employ standoff nuclear weapons, AKA nuclear cruise missiles. They were pretty damn effective in 1991 when they launched (then secret) GPS-guided conventional cruise missiles during the opening salvos of Desert Storm. They struck communications nodes deep within Iraq, who had one of the densest AA…

It seems like Kumicho is not going to change their mind no matter how much factual information multiple commenters have provided. They’re just going to keep responding “yeah but do you actually believe that...this will end up just like [insert initially problematic development program]”

Once the B-21 is available in decent numbers, the other niche to fill will be a reliable bomb truck. The B-52H fits that perfectly, even better after it gets re-engined (which is part of this acquisition plan). The Buff was just upgraded to carry more smart munitions internally, and it’s still nuclear capable. Don’t…

30+ years of experience with radar-absorbent materials will mean the B-21 won’t be relegated to an air conditioned hangar 90% of the time. We have much improved materials technology. That doesn’t even touch the avionics improvements or better high altitude performance the B-21 will bring.

The B-21 will have much lower maintenance costs. The B-2 is a real hangar queen.
