Because I don’t need their approval to do so.

Shit.

Not using any specific crests at all. And honestly, I doubt that if I was selling my art, it would be harming anyone - given that it doesn’t actually cause any harm. No one is hurt by the sale, unless I was specifically competing with another artist who was of said PNW origin and I won out of the two of us. Even then,…

No no, truly homage. My designs were all my own, but it is pretty obvious where the inspiration came from. I went far more abstract on the patterns and modified the palette a bit.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Aw, assuming I am white. Good work! Be sure to tell that to my Algonquian family. I wouldn’t say I am entitled to any culture, but that doesn’t mean I can use it, especially if I do so respectfully. Also, appropriation is stupid. Stop peddling it because the concept has existed since humans first started having…

I live in the Southeast, so it isn’t like I can just waltz over and talk to them. Not that it is up for discussion, really. It is something I made with the intent to be an homage. They can like it or not, but that doesn’t mean it should be illegal and/or punished.

This is pretty fucking stupid. I am an artist and have paid major homage to the First Americans of the PNW in the US in my art. That being said, misleading and misrepresentation are bad, obviously, but banning/punishing “cultural appropriation” is an absurd notion.

end the private sale exemption from background checks.

Not old! Well-seasoned. Like a box of fucking curly fries from Arby’s.

Not really. My point is that we already have laws on the books to prohibit aspects of firearm purchase. Adding more doesn’t fix that, especially when these firearms can be obtained illegally by someone already looking to do a criminal act.

Also, you got any bright ideas on fixing it that don’t infringe on the 2A?…

WHY NOT JUST ALL OF THEM! Blacktrons, Space Police & Space Police 2, and Blacktrons 2, Unitron and Spyrius!

I have the most obscene nostalgia chubby right now!

Oooof.

You can’t legislate away violence like this. What exactly do you expect should be done that doesn’t violate our 2A rights? We already have pretty decent gun control laws, which you must remember, only apply to law-abiding citizens in the first place. Someone who wants to murder you with a firearm will find a way to…

Oh shut the fuck up you pompous twit. I’ve indulged you because I thought you might have a bit of intelligence and could see the issues with the 2A today vs. when it was written. But it’s clear you’re just a gun humper who just throws around phrases like “civil liberties” and “but hunting” instead of actually being…

Many of them also can only fire a single shot at a time and then a bolt has to be pulled back to chamber the next round. This kind of gun is very hard to use in a killing spree because if its size and limited firing capacity.

Hey dummy, we were poor. Between hunting and collecting cans, it wasn’t easy when I was a kid. Protein is expensive and it was rural ass Vermont, too. Get a clue before making assumptions. We couldn’t afford to be served the stuff that was “already made”.

Fret not, because Congress has great insurance. And made sure to exempt themselves from Trumpcare too, so it isn’t going anywhere.

“Violent intentions”. Do tell! How exactly does one figure that out? If they are a Felon, they can’t get one anyhow. Otherwise, how do you determine intentions? That is some thought crime Minority Report level shit!

And “high powered weapons”. Aside from a .22, most weapons are high-powered enough to kill, so that is a…
