as a filthy civilian I can say GiP is very welcoming, on the flip side one of the reasons the CE thread don't suck is because it runs under the radar

Tythas posted:I'm sure they have, However the law as it's written at the moment doesnt help when it bans pretty much every weapon that can take a magazine, (more specifically anything that can accept a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds.) which means every weapons save revolvers a few pump action shotguns that hold 7 rounds or less and some bolt action rifles would be banned. With no grandfather clause either The governor specifically stated that there would be a grandfather clause. I would appreciate a reputable link to the restrictions you have cited, I can't find any. Edit: not trying to be a dick with the "reputable" comment but there's a ton of bullshit that comes up when you try and Google Virginia gun laws now.

Tythas posted:You're correct in so far as the grandfather clause requires you to register your weapon Okay, reading the definition there, it's a semi-auto with a fixed magazine that can take 10+ rounds and has one banned feature, or a semi-auto with any size detachable magazine with one banned feature.

bulletsponge13 posted:That's fair. This has been the top argument in international relations academics for the last sixty years or so. Short answer: the more there are, the more nations will get them in response, proliferation spreads, use becomes inevitable. Counter-argument: proliferation leads to stability as nobody wants to trigger a nuclear exchange.

It's paywalled, but one of the top names in international relations and nuclear proliferation, Kenneth Waltz argued that Iran should get the bomb. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/iran/2012-06-15/why-iran-should-get-bomb

bulletsponge13 posted:The anti-proliferation stance makes sense, but that isn't the stance of most who are against it. The NPT enshrined the powers that already had it, and had enough carrots and sticks in it to prevent most regional powers from developing nuclear weapons, plus a lot of nations fell under the security umbrellas of the US or USSR. Some nations, mostly pariah states like Israel, Taiwan and South Africa developed nuclear weapons as deterrents, Ukraine inherited a massive nuclear arsenal. Both SK and Ukraine disarmed for very diffet reasons. India and Pakistan developed arms in a classic regional arms race between rivals- and it's worth noting that India and Pakistan have not had a large scale conventional war since both sides developed nukes. The current best argument against proliferation is what if Syria had been a nuclear armed power before the current civil war because fuuuuuuuck

CommieGIR posted:I'd be willing to bet that the overall ready rate is a lot lower, I'd be surprised if they are achieving a 70% mission ready status. That article about the Marine F-18 crash? The unit only had about a third of it's F-18s ready to fly. I think 70% for the F-35 might actually be a little high.

Any sympathy I have for the cause is drowned in the sea of blood the PIRA unleashed, including poo poo like kidnapping a person's family and forcing them to become a suicide bomber. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_bomb I can respect a cause but despise a terror group.

If you can't actually find anything offensive in my posts maybe do me a favor and don't flat out make poo poo up. I've actually posted before in other threads about how absolutely hosed the British security services in northern ireland are and were ( fuckin Miami Showband Massacre is a good example ) so maybe close your fuckin trap and try reading comprehension. Your pathetic obsession with my day job has fried your brain.

Crakkerjakk posted:Again, I'm not saying the Iranians didn't shoot down this airliner (it's the simplest explanation) or that Russian seperatists didn't shoot down the airliner in Ukraine (seems amply documented). It's that Bellingcat tends to focus on the misdeeds of the geopolitical enemies of the US and it's allies instead of the misdeeds of the US and it's allies. That's why the US sends them money. Bellingcat has repeatedly investigated incidents and blamed the United States for the outcome. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2017/03/16/us-missile-remains-reportedly-recovered-from-site-of-aleppo-mosque-bombing/

In other news, somebody has hacked Burisma, the Ukrainian company at the center of the Hunter Biden "scandal". I'm sure our Russian friends will not use this for obfuscation and spreading disinformation.
