Wait, a .50 carry gun? Christ, it's either a stupidly massive pistol or he's carrying some weird niche piece.

At the risk of starting gunchat, where do people even get AK-47s in the US?

Also at the risk of starting gunchat, an civilian AK47 isn't much more than a .30 cal hunting rifle that just looks a bit scary, and you can probably buy one at any gun shop in the country, although the price is through the roof because imports from Russia are currently banned over the Ukraine conflict.

This is a story for Fried Chicken in particular, but also Generically US Pol related:

My wife works for Everytown as a lobbyist. She was in Indianapolis this week to meet with her local contacts and do general Lobbying Stuff, which in this case included lunch with resident lunatic Jim Lucas and Lloyd Arnold.

After what she said was a pretty civil and measured conversation about both of their respective agendae (he will introduce permitless carry everywhere bills until one passes or he dies), they parted ways to do other stuff.

My wife and her team went for a steak dinner, quelle surprise, with their team that evening and some other legislators, when Jim Lucas coincidentally shows up at the bar, recognizes her and her other young attractive teammate and comes over to chat. He says he's never actually been spoken with about his issue from the ostensible "opposition" in a way that made him interested in helping with "their" legislative proposals (background checks, etc.), and to kind of drive home HIS particular agenda, pulled aside his sportcoat to sorta flash his concealed piece around. Wife comments on the gun's grips, gets a long story about an inherited piece of ivory that a friend carved for them, and she says she thinks they're a work of art.

At which point he unloads his gun at the table and gives her a nice 50 cal JHP from what has to be the dick-replacinest, hand-blowoffinest clamshell pistol in the history of the universe.



Her coworker says "Me too??" and he gives her a bullet as well! And then, not loving kidding, removes a third bullet and makes his exit saying, "Actually, have another one. Give this one to Mike (bloomberg) for me."

That's pretty funny and if you think it means something deeper you're dumb. Also could you ask your wife how she feels about her organization officially thinking "assault weapon" means anything and wanting to expand the reach of the terrorist watchlist?

It's probably an AK pattern rifle and not specifically an AK-47, probably a WASR-10. It's common enough in gun stores and you can illegally mod it to be fully auto with a file and some patience.

I live about 30 minutes away from Hesston and pretty much everyone here is loosing their minds. The local news reporting on it has been exceedingly scummy trying to intercept survivors on the way to the hospital.

If the Republican candidate is so toxic that voters stay home they could, possibly lose the House.

The fact that Trump is all style and no substance and yet is so popular and compelling as to be in the running for President of the United States and Leader of the Free World is terrifying to me. We are closer to the Idiocracy reality now than ever before. This speaks volumes about America as it exists in 2016.

E: You don't even need a convincing conspiracy theory like International Jewry anymore. You just need soothing enough pablum and word salad.

I find it far more terrifying that Clinton can run on a platform championed by her opponent despite a long history of opposing those very causes and still has popular support among democrats.

I doubt it'll be that bad. Dems might pick up seats in the house if the GOP just has a bunch of voters staying home but the House map is a kind of locked-in GOP majority until Hillary's second term.

It was a three-way screamfuck. Rubio and Cruz actually managed to get under Trump's skin more than once. Overall they probably did enough damage to keep themselves in the race a little longer but not enough to actually take Trump out. Trump knew this and was already starting to pivot to the general (which is part of why they were able to get to him).

An actual fully automatic AK-47 or derivative thereof is almost impossible (Or at least insanely expensive) to get, but semi-auto knockoffs are pretty common in gun shops.

Winning the house is going to be unbelievably difficult until after the next census. It is very, very important that the Dems do well in state and local elections in 2020. The reason why the house has been so difficult to win is because they got crushed by the GOP in 2010.

This is from a page ago or so, but the 149 in nevada wasn't the total number of Latino voters but rather the size of the sample used for the poll. There were a lot more than that. The 149 was the random sample exit poll.
