Milo and POTUS posted:They're trying to goad someone into a situation where they "fear for their lives" so they can shoot unarmed people, hth Reminder that the only reason somebody else didn't get waxed on video in Charlottesville was because of a jam/misfire: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/25/us/charlottesville-protest-police.html I'm really not looking forward to this protest/March/whatever. I've had no less than 4 acquaintances contact me from out of state asking about the "gun confiscations" happening in VA and how police will be fired if they refuse to comply. It's exhausting walking back each comment. To top it off, the USPSA match organizer for the area posted some ridiculous alarmist video in the monthly match announcement email here. It's disingenuous bullshit, and the volume/amplification makes it almost impossible to refute in real time. It just sucks.

Smiling Jack posted:I would appreciate a reputable link to the restrictions you have cited, I can't find any. This. Please read the bills that have been put up for consideration. I'm not trying to be a dick either, but I used to work retail so spare me the story and bring a receipt or you're not getting a refund

Smiling Jack posted:Clicking on the link in the bill for the definition of assault weapon takes you to some law about street sweepers, scroll all the way to the bottom for the proposed definition. Got it. Yeah that's a pretty broad definition, possibly more restrictive than CA? I haven't lived there in over a decade. I can't see that passing in current form. It's VA so anything can happen, even with a majority in both houses. I'd personally like to see universal background checks pass, and I'm not frightened of cosmetic feature bans due to a childhood on the west coast where I still managed to hunt/shoot a shitload of guns without my freedoms being tread upon

Patrocclesiastes posted:US testing their earthquake weapon, this is what Trump meant with attacking cultural sights. I've got friends from high school posting over-exposed photos from the Australian bushfires claiming the lens flare or whatever is actually an orbital direct energy weapon. Same program? Aluminum vehicles can't melt unless it was a space laser!

John Cleese posted:Terry Jones is this excitable little Welshman. He and I have never got on. What Terry cannot accept is that the Welsh are a servile nation whom God put on the planet to carry out menial tasks for the English.

Ken Bone Comeback posted:Fracking is not really the problem. Fracking is just a method for encreasing permeability. Can you explain this in a little bit more detail? I don't know much about the fracking process but this sounds disingenuous, like you're saying banana peels and their disposal are unrelated to the harvest and consumption of bananas. Is there some other economically viable method of wastewater disposal? Sincere question.
