Since conservatives apparently believe intergenerational wealth transfer doesn't exist, let's do 100% estate taxes

Do an investigation of all people who have more than $10 million in assets. Trace all of that money back to the days of slavery if applicable. 100% of the money value in today's dollars should be the tax on them, if the family was involved in slavery.

Malheur is in Oregon, but the sovcits had come from various states to attend a different protest in nearby Burns, OR.

Yeah Oregon's the one that let 'em in, no idea if the place recovered though. I sent them a 5lb bag of sugar free gummi bears with a gift note strongly indicating that those are the preferred snack of Are Troops.

This is a common tactic at the state level and I’m not sure it’s ever truly worked?

IIRC they did it like a month ago to stop two bills that would have passed otherwise and they came back in exchange for promising not to do it again and the bills not passing. One of the bills was to remove exemptions for vaccinating children.

Basically Republicans are Lucy holding the football and Democrats are Charlie Brown.

He said that if gun owners could not access the courts "the only alternative is revolution".

When asked by host Lisa Owen what he meant by "revolution", Clark said "Literally, what I just said. What have you got to lose? What other alternatives have you got in life?"
When Owen asked if he was talking about "a physical, violent, uprising," Clark said it was likely.

I don't want to make things too gunchatty around here but after the increase in gun violence here in Toronto I'm firmly on the "ban private ownership of pistols and magazine-fed SA rifles/carbines" bandwagon. Zero need for a private citizen to own one in this country.

no that has to be a loving fake novelty gun, you'd clog the suppressor up in like an hour

Honestly 5.56 or even .22 bolt actions are still pretty fun to shoot. I learned to shoot on a .22 bolt that you had to manually cock, and that thing was great fun for plinking cans.

If you need a suppressor on your 50 cal you should probably just use a different rifle.
