Weird how law enforcement is totally hands off with the chairborne rangers in VA today.
How would anyone know if they’re right wing domestic terrorists or not? They’re good guys with guns right until the moment they open fire.
Or does that apply only if the guys with guns are black? Is that when law enforcement would take a much closer look at this? We know that the NRA and right wingers don’t care if blacks aren’t able to exercise their 2A because we’ve seen it in action. They were silent with Castile and Crawford and even Trayvon Martin. They’re all about white rights - everyone else doesn’t matter.

What the fuck does a chairborne ranger need with a 50 cal sniper rifle?
The only purpose that serves is to take out armored vehicles and hard targets at a distance.
It serves no other purpose than to make these small men feel big.

“Laws against bank robbery were written in days when banks were few, unregulated, underfinanced, and dealt mainly in gold and silver coins. In today’s world of interstate, multinational banking institutions backed to the tune billions of dollars, such laws are obsolete and should be ignored.”

re: #44 Backwoods_Sleuth
I was discussing Red Flag laws with some relatively polite gunhumpers online just last week. They objected that the laws were dangerous to LEOs tasked with taking the guns.
I pointed out that someone who would shoot at LEOs in the course of their duties is pretty much the definition of someone who should not be allowed to own a gun.
They said Red Flag laws were already getting people shot, and used the example of a woman in Florida whose estranged boyfriend called police and told them she’d threatened him, and threatened suicide, and was armed to the teeth. SO they went to her place, BROKE IN, and when she woke up they were standing over her bed, so she pulled one of the two guns she kept under her pillow and threatened them, so they tased her and then shot her, wounding her.
That’s Swatting, not Red Flag, which requires police to provide a judge with at least their sworn statement that the person is a risk, and then the judge rules on the search warrant to search their home and seize guns, and the respondent has the opportunity to challenge it and overturn it.
They wouldn’t let go of the bad example, because, I presume, they’d read it in something online that used it as an example of why Red Flag Laws are bad, and they had nothing else.
So I told them, since they’re not willing to do anything to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them, they are declaring that the tree of THEIR liberty must be watered with the blood of schoolchildren, concertgoers, moviegoers, college students, etc.
re: #58 Blind Frog Belly White
It all boils down to them insisting that their hobby is more important than saving someone else’s life.
Saving someone’s life in a “good guy with a gun” fantasy is also part of the hobby.
My father was based in Frankfort in 1951. He was an accountant. It was that or Korea (not much of a choice). My father taught me everything I know about the service, by example. He also gave money to the wounded Vets. took me years to figure out why he did this never talked about this or why he never went to high school reunions. Hollywood High class of 48 lost a lot of kids in Korea.
As for a patch, he had dozens of them, not sure if they were issued to him or he thought it was badass. It’s too late to ask. But I love the patch and my brothers and sons have one as well.

Mostly, they work assiduously to avoid the obvious by deflecting with “it’s about mental health, not guns”* or “killers will find another way to kill”**, so that they don’t have to accept any responsibility for the results of what they demand.
* But if you talk about laws that would take guns away from unstable, but not legally insane people, they say it’s unconstitutional.
** But if you say there aren’t anywhere near our rate of mass killings with other weapons, where guns are bannedthey point to ONE stabbing attack that took place last month in Britain, where two people died but the attacker was subdued with fire extinguishers and a narwhal tusk. They stick to “It takes a good man with a gun” argument, but maybe if it takes a good man with a gun to stop a bad man with a gun, but you can stop a bad man with a knife by using a fire extinguisher and a narwhal tusk, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE the goal should be to force the Bad Guys to use less lethal weaponry that’s more easily stopped?

They refuse to recognize that some people should not have guns because they think it could wind up being them one day
Truly responsible gun owners know it could never be them.

It would be pretty effective on feral hogs around here. I would not care to hump it around, though, and the hogs will not come to me, so it’s probably out. Otoh, I could possibly use Roomba technology and a pintle mount to create a small tracked carriage that would carry it around and stay close. Hmmm. Might be a market there.

I considered the .444 but decided to go with a45/70 Henry lever gun. I liked the Henry action and I already had a couple of single shots in that caliber so I was used to it and had a stock of ammo.

A tank without a turret is still a tank, even if you’re using it as an agricultural tractor. Insisting that it be referred to as a tractor because it lacks a turret is as ridiculous as saying an AR-15 be called a hunting rifle because the components necessary for automatic fire have been removed.
I suppose we should consider ourselves fortunate he didn’t pee on it.

Because really, after your colleagues on the other side of Capital Hill made a whole big show over bitching that the House Dems had put forward the rules for conducting impeachment investigations/hearings “in the dead of night” and not allowed a single amendment to make it “more fair,” the best way to show you’re running a “fair” process in your own house is to withhold access to your own house’s resolution until the moment it drops on the floor for a vote and totally deny Senate Dems an opportunity to bring forward amendments to such.
If Repubs didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

True. And despite all the effort (and it has been considerable, AFAICT) of the pro-Brexit crowd to downplay or deny it, I’ve always sensed a broad streak of Empire Nostalgia lurking behind most discussions of how an “independent” Britain is going to manage its economic (and political) position going forward. And yet, unrealistic as it is, the fantasy that the UK is somehow going to be able to leverage itself back into being the global superpower of 1910 seems to be uncritically accepted.
So apparently the basic outline of the rules Mitch will drop tomorrow has “leaked” to the press. And I hope nobody has any plans for the coming week, because Mitch wants to confine legal arguments to 2 12hr days apiece between the House managers and Trump’s three-ring circus. Followed by a 16hr Q&A session, and then a 4hr “debate” before an up-or-down vote on allowing further witnesses and documents.
Unsurprisingly, there’s already talk that he’s hidden a “kill switch” in there in the form of allowing Trump’s team to call for immediate dismissal/acquittal if they feel they’re sinking fast. And even if they don’t slap the Big Red Button and Mitch somehow loses the vote on witnesses, he could still push any witnesses (read: Bolton) down to the basement for a classified hearing on “national security” grounds.
All of this, of course, totally like any criminal trial you witness on a daily basis./////

With the power to ignore the president’s crimes and investigate his enemies, William Barr has put the Department of Justice at the disposal of the criminal cabal that has infected the federal government. If Parnas is correct, Barr’s efforts have effectively silenced opposition to the president within the Republican Party. That is precisely why the attorney general is the most dangerous member of Trump’s cabinet.

In a 1999 mayoral race in Philadelphia, David Sirota was tied to a fake website apparently intended to scare off white residents from voting for a black opponent https://t.co/AX7Wi1OREE

So they’re just running a “Biden’s corruption problem” whisper campaign this time. Trying hard not to play dirty and failing, I guess.

Nothing surprises me about Sirota. Except he is purer than thou.

If these assholes who marched in Richmond want their boogaloo it’s time to blow the dust off of the Force Acts and the KKK Act signed by President Grant!
I expect very little of Mitch McConnell—who has made clear that there is no democratic norm he won’t trade for greed and power—but even I am shocked by his proposed kangaroo one-week impeachment trial. https://t.co/6DrpmOMGoR

I would give it to them with MUCH pleasure! I look at 50 Cal Guy and think his gut could take a few bullets.

I found it. Most of it is still there. The punch line was: We are a lighthouse. Your call.
tip of the hat to BWS.

This story is usually told of a USN carrier and a Canadian lighthouse, but it’s been debunked repeatedly.
The printed version is obviously rubbish as the Royal Navy has never had an aircraft carrier named Britannia. In 1998 the only “carriers” were the Invincible class — HMS Invincible, HMS Illustrious and HMS Ark Royal.
(BWS even adds this at the end: “ETA: I should have noted that this isn’t true. But it’s still funny!”)
