I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

The truth is, Russia won. They saw an opportunity and played the long game and when America soon falls into chaos because Trump’s executive power crumbles, they will be the true victors of the Cold War.

I would agree if this were the democrats pushing it, but this is entirely the Trump admin doing action via the executive branch. Which is an extra level of hilarity on it.

It’s not just gun manufacturers though. We really are on the precipice of another recession. Today Bayer later off 12000 people. Auto manufacturers are shutting down which means quintuple the people affected from tier one suppliers. Sears continues its death throes. Etc

But the fundamentals are good

Oh I agree we absolutely are about to hit another recession, but each respective industry is taking hits for their own reasons in addition to the current national trend. Some of them are poor decisions, self inflicted, some of them are tariff related, etc. Some of them are just failure to adapt to the market. Sometimes it's all of the above.

Sears really isn't a sign of a coming recession, it's been in a death spiral ever since it got bought out by that hedge fund lead by a Ayn Rand worshipping autocrat.

The ones that didn't sell to a vulture capitalist who dumped debt on them. On top of going "lol what's quality assurance?" Like remington did, were busy going bankrupt building poo poo no one wanted, instead of what they would actually buy.

Any method used to attack a recognized civil liberty will be used against the others. Like overreach of executive decree. Remember free speech zones under Bush? Or extrajudicially executing American citizens with a drone under Obama?

Does N4I need another lesson in grammar? Because the preamble is in the there as a pretty important reason, but not even the most important part. Which putting in alt caps like you think you're chickenbob doesn't invalidate.

Not contesting gross executive abuse just because its your team is how half this mess got here.

If they were smartly representing the gun manufacturers' interests, on Nov 9 2016 they would have flipped the switch and started selling fear of Trump's authoritarianism to libs. But they're more a republican group than a manufacturer lobby group.

I used to sell appliances at Sears back in ~2007 and I'm always baffled that they're hung on this long.

Tbf I understand Steezo’s point about executive overreach and cheering on executive fuckery at any level because it’s your team that’s doing it. I’d prefer to see the legislative process applied to reach the same outcome, but that would of course require our elected officials to actually vote on something and go on the record, which is obviously a Bad Thing come election time.

Frankly I’m quite ok with seeing bump stocks get banned, but I’m not really cool with the process used to do so.

He's not wrong about that, whats funny is the typically republican gun owner types, the self proclaimed defenders of liberty sheep dogs and 3%ers are going to ignore this or lie the blame elsewhere because it was their team that did this. That's all that anyone is saying!
