The firearm thread

[sugilite:Me]

Wow

[pritch]

I'd read that but it has more impact shown live as it were.

In another US firearms related story, it seems a thirteen year old made a gun of some sort then shot and killed his fourteen year old sister. So far I've only seen headlines but I have to go out, but might check further when I get back.

Have a good weekend y'all.

That particular polititian was known in the US as a libertarian. Now he is regarded as just another RWNJ Trumpist and this photo supports that view. I note that the proud daddy cradles what appears to be an M60 machine gun, "the pig". That'll come in handy if his home is ever invaded by zombie muslim lesbian bikers from Hell.

you need automatic weapons to be a medic patrolling you know, as why should the police of national guard do that.

Isn't it funny that the Libertarians all tended towards Trump...

And yes, that does appear to be an M60 - weird Flex, but very nice.

That's because Libertarians generally have the emotional development of toddlers. They've never advanced beyond, "Me me me."

Ending Slavery then = 'me me me'
Creating Human Rights = 'me me me'

I mean, I could go on, but I think that's sufficient to show how asinine that statement is.

[sugilite:Me]

Haha, now New York is getting in on it.
No doubt the supreme court will block it, showing the hypocrisy of telling woman what they can and cannot do, but don't come for the bang bangs! Once again putting on show just how fucked the US judicial system is - funny as hell though

[TheDemonLord]

I'm always surprised at how Lawyers and Politicians seem to struggle to understand:

'Shall not be Infringed'

It's not the Systems that's fucked...

[sugilite:Me]

Ahhhh, but the system is not just the rule book eh, if only. Unfortunately the lawyers, judges, pollies and lobbyists are part of the system - so yeah, it is not just fucked, it is well fucked.

I've been reading a bit of George Washington of late, specifically his views on Political parties:

They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels, and modified by mutual interests.

However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government; destroying afterwards the very engines, which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

So at this point, I'm leaning more towards that it isn't the system that is broken, but it's the Fuckwits in the System.

I mean, I'm not really disagreeing per se - more a case of whether the Individuals are part of the system or if the System can be considered distinct from the people in it. I tend to view things from the individualistic sense and not the collective sense (Shock! Horror! I know...) which leads me not to condemn the entire system as broken or 'problematic' but that we should be eternally vigilant for Bad Actors, and deal with them on a case by case basis.

[sugilite:Me]

Unfortunately the current "system" in the States has generated a veritable avalanche of bad actors on both sides of the political spectrum. RIP on what is actually a very, very good system, which has now been overrun with bad actors - and a never ending conveyor belt of them getting ever worse.
