  • quack quack quack quack. we had an assault weapons ban in the 90s and when they let it expire, the number of mass shootings skyrocketed and it became the number one choice for kid murder. you can piss and moan about how “an m16 is a classic american rifle” and mewl about magazines, and entirely ignore the actual history.

    You want to ban assault rifles? Write better legislation.

    until we dx citizen’s united, it’s a rather pointless exercise as the NRA is willing to spend so much russian money in our elections.

    nah. we just need a court that understands the full fucking text of the 2a instead of a portion.











  • I could buy the ‘ar-15 pistol’ conceit if they were actually pistols, firing pistol rounds from pistol length barrels. the whole 5.56 pistol because I just took the stock off and have a gas tube or arm brace is ridiculous stupidity gun goobs use to pick apart legislation. if it’s a 5.56 scaled receiver, it’s obviously not a pistol and I wish all this idiotic twisting and turning would stop.

    the mini14 canard is bullshit too, I’ve only seen it in person in 7.62 and 5.56, which, again, only an utter moron would consider ‘pistol’ calibres.

    meanwhile you really ignore the fact that these firearms are intrinsically not hunting / self defense tools but weapons, assault weapons, and easily become mass murder weapons.

    feh.


  • at the age of 16 I was working for a local ISP doing dialup support when we got a call that couldn’t be resolved by level one techs … but was apparently in the same building, across the hall. After going around and around with them for 4+ calls and realizing we were right there, I just walked over on my lunch break, got hired as their helpdesk, walked back, quit, and started connecting all their desktops up to a novell netware network to use their paired ISDN line instead of having dozens of desktops dialing in for 28.8k

    This work went on for 8 months, and I was always struck by how many desktops and offices they had, but so few people were ever there. Slept with my future wife on a couch in the lobby lol. Anyway, after almost a year of this, they were raided by the feds for selling fake ‘executive personality analysis’ and helping tons of companies pick their c-suites based on woo-woo garbage surveys they were selling to fortune 500 companies for thousands of dollars each. Turns out the entire business was lies layered on lies but I cashed the fuck outta those checks and appreciated not having to work fast food.

    never underestimate money laundering and scams, there’s shittons out there

    the joke is that they’ll literally cook the planet, knowing each stroke of the engine is putting out more CO2 that will cause the planet to heat further while choking their own kids with pollution, haha, and they’ll do it for fun.

    the cult of vroom vroom is gonna kill this species because these smooth brained fuckwits can’t enjoy other forms of entertainment.

    lol@the vroomies downvoting.
