“Do you want to see the imagers? I'll show you. Imaging is like running a copy machine. So, like, if there's staples? So what these ladies along here do, from this wall to this wall, from six in the morning until midnight…staples.

It's hard to tell if he's complaining, or bragging.

quote:

“And then Denise says—did you meet Denise? Denise says, ‘Let's get some shipping containers! They're like 70 bucks a month to rent.’ So we put shipping containers out in the parking lot here.” He pushes open a heavy metal door and there they are, three red, one orange, and one blue, pinged with rust, sitting on the hot asphalt with weeds popping through. “See, now we fill these up. Um…” He yanks the latch on the orange one, bends his knees as he heaves open the door. Inside it's the same as the corridors: boxes. “Maybe 50 times a day a trace will come in for gun records in those boxes. Right? So, 50 times today somebody will be out here hand-searching boxes because we don't have them imaged yet.

quote:

In 1984, Form 4473 even showed up in a movie, Red Dawn. Soviet paratroopers invaded Colorado, and they went on a search for gun owners by getting their hands on a bunch of 4473s. “I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands,” was a popular NRA bumper sticker at the time and a variant was featured prominently in the movie.

It would be reasonable to assume, as many people do, that since 4473 is a federal form, the feds have them all locked up somewhere safe, but they don't. They are kept at the store that sold the gun; only when the retailer goes out of business do the gun records come here to the tracing center, which accounts for Charlie's box problem. Those are just the out-of-business records he's dealing with in the corridors and the shipping containers in the parking lot.

“Those are just the out-of-business records,” repeats Charlie, for emphasis.

Like it's so amazing that instead of looking at the actual problem that society is to blame for all these school shootings and is instead turning around and saying 'Hey, the police should have caught these guy before it happened!'

we must revere the constitution as a form of civic religion

except as to any provisions inconsistent with protofascism (or full blown fascism)*

* eta: the same exception applies to actual religion, obviously

Like part of Tappers outrage today was that the Broward County Sherriff apparently made some kind of deal with the school district that they would be somewhat lenient on school children instead of hitting them with serious charges and then when the Sherriff was like 'we felt that this was a better option than putting teenagers in jail for some offenses', Tapper turns right around and says 'Well, shouldn't some of them be in jail?'

Another one of these "consumer conservation" issues. Are straws really noticeable on a planetary ecological scale? I understand that plastic bags are actually way worse than their numbers make it sound, but so much of this stuff is like well if we stopped using it entirely it will do 0.0001% as much as a regulation causing companies to stop just dumping plastic in the ocean.

Nah don't worry that's every society, just nobody has the gun liberryy that Americans enjoy to express their child-murder intentions with. If anything, other countries are backed up with decades' worth of mass shooters who haven't had their chance to shine, that's why letting immigrants is so dangerous (build that wall).

No, I just watched the interview and he was loving awful. Like I said at one point he literally asked if children should be in jail.
