it is cringe but is it really so terrible to put on the books? i dont think so. its stupid and unenforceable for sure tho. maybe in the future 3d printers will be good enough to make guns that dont explode and take your hand off. idk

It's been legal to construct guns at home for a long rear end time. Scary 3d printing tech though, I guess.

This is just 2020s "It's a Series of Tubes" dumbass boomer brained politician poo poo.

This guy heard the term "Ghost Guns" and saw one of his great great great great great grand descendants printing out a toy one christmas so it makes perfect sense to him that there are just secret gun distributors pumping out thousands of untraceable guns.

If the country wasn't melting down it would just be funny that someone so dumb thinks this is a constructive use of his time. Sure, ban ghost guns or whatever you want. That should just be about #500 on any politician's to-do list at this point.

I have to disagree with that last part. It shouldn't be on any list of things to ban.

My 12 year old son and I constructed two guns (a pistol and a shotgun) for pandemic projects during the lock down. There's absolutely nothing wrong if you want to build a legal firearm at home.

If I had the chance to ask that guy a question it'd be: "How many people are being killed each year by 3d printed guns?" Because I bet it's 0 and I don't really like restricting civil rights over things that could happen maybe someday in the far future.

I'm not sure if this was in reference to the ghost votes but based on this distribution

That would mean Adams loses about 17,500 and Garcia loses 11,600. Closing their gap to just ~10,000 votes total.

Re "I'm as far left as they come"

An annoying number of Americans define "left" as "votes Dem in general elections" and "right" as "votes GOP in general elections", so if they have never voted Republican, they are as far left as they come by definition QED

Like, it's not about ideology, it's about loyalty. They can't even process ideology being part of this. If you talk about actual policy or issues or ideology with them they think you're wasting their time and missing the point, because if you're as far left as they are you never question the orthodoxy of the left party (by which they mean the Democrats), and quibbling with them over details might mean you're not going to vote for them, which invalidates any and all arguments you might make

Bonus points if they phrase it as "I'm as liberal as they come" btw, accidentally correct

At a certain point, doesn't loyalty become an ideology? Isn't adherence to authority it's own political belief?

they tossed out 85,000 mail in ballots during last years primary lol. from my experience of being a nyc poll worker, im surprised elections even happen. for every site half of the assigned people show up on the day of bc the pay is now less than minimum wage since it became $15/hr. half of the ppl working a site have either done it for 20+ years and dont know how to use ipads or its their first and last time working a shift.
