Before long it will be "You dont need 10 bullets to kill a deer" as from the commie NY state governor. Then you wont need 6, no wait 3 bullets. Then only single shot firearms. Reload powder will be allowed but only a 1/4 pound on hand at a time, 10 primers, no lead at all.
But at least Trump is out of office, RIGHT???
And after they effectively destroy the semi-auto, they'll pivot their rhetoric to "sniper rifles and street sweepers". Hunting rifles and shotguns wont be safe either, given enough time.

So Flu cases are down, because people are social distancing, wearing masks more, and traveling less, but more people are dying from COVID recently because people aren't social distancing enough and "selfishly" spending time with their friends and family. That's California logic in a nutshell. California logic isn't good for anyone’s health, where gay orgies spreading AIDS are deemed essential, but family gatherings for more than 3 people are selfish and killing people.
It's flu season and Kung Flu has essentially replaced the regular flu. Respiratory diseases always spread faster when people's Vitman D intake is low, they are eating less fresh vitamin rich foods, they are inside longer (breathing the same circulated air and getting less sunlight), and the relative humidity and temperature is low. It's why major respiratory pandemics generally coincide with periods of extended darkness and lower global temperatures (you aren't seeing these spikes in more tropical countries that also have winter holidays). Rearranging the entire economy and culture to stop one respiratory disease, with little real results to support these changes, doesn’t seem like it’s worth the trade-offs.
Young and healthy people aren't putting the elderly and immune comprised at risk by enjoying their lives. Young and healthy people contracting the virus and recovering before they can spread it to the sick and vulnerable is essential to achieving heard humidity. When I was a child, parents used to have “chickenpox parties” to infect their kids with chickenpox to prevent them from getting it when they were old when it can be deadly. If young people aren’t inoculated against this virus now, they could very well be more subceptbale to diseases like it in the future when they are old and more vulnerable as it mutates and potentially becomes seasonal. The fact that most of them are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms is probably a good thing. Asymptomatic people are never as contagious as symptomatic people, so the odds of them unknowingly infecting someone is lower. We need about 2/3rds of the population to be infected to achieve herd immunity and we are far from that. I don’t trust the experimental and rushed mRNA vaccine is going to be safe enough for 2/3rds of people to take it. I am not a physician or claim to be an expert. I could be wrong and I hope the new mRNA vaccines are effective and COVID dies off.Moreover, you have entire industries built around travel and tourism. You want the entire travel industry and seasonal holiday industries to collapse? Who is going to bail out the airline industries when they go bankrupt from lack of holiday travel (they are already on the verge of bankruptcy)? Who is going to bail out the small holiday stores and shops? Who is going to bail out all the small business restaurants that lost all their customers or have to operate at an unsustainable reduced capacity? Is the government going to bail them out? With who’s money? They destroyed their entire tax base, so they are going to have to print money. Prices are going to skyrocket and scarcity is going to be the new normal. You can’t shut down large parts of the economy and ruin people’s livelihood because of a potentially deadly Boomer Doomer. Communist China isn’t doing that anymore, so why are we?
Family gatherings are what make life worth living. Why are people earning money and working if they can’t spend time with their loved ones when they aren’t working? Everyone is working to support their family. We aren’t working to keep other people’s families alive and safe. Each family makes decisions based on the wishes and best interests of their personal loved ones. Capitalism produces prosperity precisely because it allows people to selfishly keep what they earn and support themselves rather than demanding others to “unselfishly” take care of others at the expense of their own personal happiness. If we start accusing people of being selfish for working to support their families and enjoy what little life they have, we are going to have a breakdown in civility and of Western values. Freedom is what makes life worth living and is something worth dying for. Why be alive if we aren’t free to make our own choices and enjoy precious time with our loved ones? If survival is the only point of life, we should all just be hooked up to feeding machines and forgoe all of life experiences.
I assessed the personal risk to myself and my family and determined that I have a higher probability of dying due to driving on dangerous roads with unlicensed drivers in TN than from contracting Kung Flu. I built a house with my family and for my family during the outbreak of the Wu Flu from January to April. I didn’t put my building plans on hold because of communist propaganda and fear porn. I continue to eat out at restaurants and shop like normal. We continued to travel and visit places during the summer. I spoke with one owner of a little Mexican food truck, who said she was left bad reviews on Yelp because she wasn’t wearing a mask, so now she wears a face shield. She was glad when I told her she doesn’t need to wear one when preparing my food. Is this what society is now? Karens condemning small business owners for not wearing a piece of cloth on their face? I go to fast food places, and all the workers are masked, but they are constantly touching their faces to readjust their compulsory virtue masks. How is that more sanitary? What happened to reason and logic?
This Christmas we will be flying to visit family out of state. Yes, we will wear our compulsory masks and social distance, and do whatever is asked to keep concerned people happy, but we aren’t canceling our holiday plans. My mother had unexpected triple bypass surgery this summer and nearly died. This could be the last Christmas we see each other face to face, and as a nurse for most of her life, she understands the risk of COVID, but would rather have us spend Christmas as a family than live her remaining golden years locked away from her children and grandchildren. Because yes, freedom and family are things that she thinks are worth dying for. I wouldn’t accuse others of being selfish for wanting to do the same with their families and I understand if others would rather spend their holidays apart to minimize risk.Huh, I wonder if Covid is being used to crush the economy and bring in the Great Reset?

This is the real reason everyone in power hated Trump; he was in the way.

Drinking is a right, show me where cannon and rockets aren't included in the 2nd...so thats a right, driving is a right, using a phone is a right.....please educate me on privilege
Rights comes from god not government. If you have to get a permit i.e. drivers license you are getting permission to perform an activity that would otherwise be illegal. Permits may be revoked, rights may not be revoked. Your rights may be trampled upon, and that's the topic here.

Well if your applying that spin on my argument lets all rail against the following: drinking and driving, texting and driving, most currently "illegal drugs", machine guns, rocket launchers, well the list goes on of all the things the majority could do/enjoy without harming others yet those pesky laws seek to keep us from because of a few bad apples that just can't handle the "freedom"
That's spin to you
We are talking about a right not a privilege here.

I almost purchased a polymer 80 to put an old upper on. My motivation was it would be really nice to have it shipped to my house. I also like tinkering with stuff so it would make a fun project. Shucks, I guess I'll just carve one out of hardwood.

Good point let’s make it even easier for them and all the stalkers and domestic abusers
This sort of thinking reminds me of my experience in public school: 1 student couldn't get their act together so the teacher forced her 20+ students to write an essay as punishment. We hadn't done anything wrong but we were punished just the same.

Thats exactly something you hear. I also hate the word "feel" when talking about objective concepts. Saying "it seems to me" and im all ears saying "I feel like" and I dont wanna hear it unless it's followed with an actual feeling.....but thats probably not pertinent.
"I feel like I'm getting cross coupling between these two traces but the scope isn't like helping or anything?"

I think this is right. Worked with a lot of college kids and still do. Theyre very afraid of being decisive and forward, and they feel like they're being attacked if youre forward with them sometimes.
"I feel like that shouldn't be uh thing?"
Meant to be read with up talk and vocal fry.

My theory is up talking is popular amongst the youth because they overly concerned about offending people. Up talking allows them to make statements without committing to the statement because everything is made to sound like a question.

Yes, some of them also add in Vocal Fry and the overly animated hand gestures as well. It's a cultural thing. No Agenda Podcast has been ragging on this for years.
My GF is from southern CA so I've gotten my fill of this in it's natural habitat lol.

I wouldn't call this fun. One thing stuck out to me - after a couple of days he was out of food. (Not sure where else to put this video without starting a new thread)

Gun control affecting hobby/self-defense/career-paths is one of those things that isn't likely to happen but when it does we will regret ever doubting its probability.

I never jumped into purchasing/building one of these. Had I gotten into one of these and I was worried I'd probably just take the brace off. It's still a registered pistol lower, right? Assuming the majority are AR type pistols, is it illegal to shoulder a naked buffer tube?
Or are they going to classify all of these "rifle type pistols" as AOWs regardless of the brace?

I found this video to be more captivating than the song. This one is actually #3 in a 10 song series that details several generations of the fictional Sparks family. If you go back and watch them all, it plays like a mini movie. It's a good time-suck for about an hour of your day if you choose to go down the rabbit hole. The story is a tragic telling of the horrors of addiction.
Pretty interesting find. Thanks for sharing!
Anyone want to donate $35 to have me ban a whiner permanently?

Go ahead and kick me off. I want that money to come from your pocket @TGO David.
I kept this between me and the mods and then you make an announcement? I could have done the same but you took the LOW ROAD.
PM I sent to them below:
Sent this to Chuck already.
I want a refund for my membership I renewed not long ago.
For whatever reason I am terminated from the Politics section but ya'll kept antagonistic Daniel. He's not even a benefactor. This tells me everything I need to know about the mods. Should have just spit in my face instead, at least then I'd understand ya'll don't like me.
I didn't even get a warning. No strikes. No ban. WTF?
I understand this is a WIP, but Daniel gets through and I'm blacklisted right off the bat? lol SPEAKS VOLUMES.
