That reminds me to read up on what happened with that.

So after the Cossacks-Bandidos shootout, a prosecutor in Waco has been trying to throw the book at the whole lot of them with state criminal street gang laws. Defense attorneys are in an uproar about it, however, as they say the prosecutor is overreaching and constructing a conspiracy among bikers which doesn't exist. Meanwhile, the bikers have been laying low because of the heat and there have been several arrests, including a Bandidos leader for unrelated (although serious) crimes.

And to my surprise, four Bandidos were arrested for the 2006 sniper assassination of a Hell's Angel in Austin. Shot the poor guy in front of his wife -- from an overpass -- for trying to start up a chapter in the state:


They're white so people assume the gang thing is all fun and games. Seriously the Hell's Angels had a convention up here several years back and idiots were falling all over themselves to talk about how it wasn't nice that law enforcement was keeping an eye on them. They're just regular guys who traffic meth and kill people man!

If every NRA member spontaneously combusted tomorrow it'd be a slight loss for gun rights but an overall boost for everything else. Jesus Christ I hate loving mentioning I own guns because DID YOU SEE WHAT OBAMA TRIED TO DO, THE UN WAS THAT CLOSE TO MARCHING IN AND TAKING THEM ALL.

How about anything that is designed to kill or injure living things is a weapon, and anything that isn't is a tool, and you write legislature around that.

Edit: Sorry, I realized that won't work, because glock will release a video showing that you CAN use it to nail in a nail, but you can also load it with Speed Nailers which will launch a projectile to insert the nail at 560 feet per second.
"Designer's intent" is kinda bullshit from both directions. Rockets, microwaves, and jet aircraft were all designed to be weapons. On the other hand, if someone is menacing me with a 8" blade designed for chefs in the finest kitchens in Europe, the distinction that it wasn't designed as a weapon is likely lost on me.

I'll give in on that, you're absolutely right. But can we agree that there should be rules between things that are designed to injure and things that are dangerous tools, but not specifically designed for that purpose?

Edit: I realized the stupidity in that question. Anything can be a weapon. A spoon could be as deadly as a meat cleaver, technically.

Turkish shelling of the Kurdish civilian areas resulted in the death of an American citizen. Michael Israel. Apparently he ran off to join the PYD and was in a civilian area in Afrin when the Turks were bombing/shelling all along the Kurdish border.

The offensive against ISIS' capitol city of Raqqa is now put on hold.

So in world news, Macedonia parliament elected an Albanian prime minister which prompted a massive russian supported backlash where the government building was stormed and many members of parliament were beaten.

Here's an article: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/04/macedonia-parliament-zaev-nationalist-violence-eu-europe/524733/


Basically nationalists claim that albanians are breeding faster than macedonians and are secretly trying to take over the country where instead they should let Russia have more influence in the Baltics instead.

The Guardian found one voter that wasn't so thrilled about how Donnie was performing. An old Neo-Nazi.
