Even with concealed carry, which is basically every state these days.

Even if its illegal to carry, don’t count on these thugs to follow the law.

Even if the person intimidating you is unarmed, they have been known to be supervised by concealed groups of thugs armed with anything from bludgeons to AR-15s in order to turn the tide against someone standing up to them.

Call the police, don’t get carried away on principle and put yourself in danger.

80f in New Jersey right now. The northeast.

Supposed to be 85f tomorrow.

Straight to Leavenworth.

What is with people and self-snitching? Do they need attention that much?

Ukraine also uses many civilian-sourced vehicles, including for moving troops. It is not inherently a war crime. It is frankly necessary when both sides are losing vehicles to enemy action constantly.

I think DPRK’s hope is that at least some soldiers and officers will return with some modern combat experience, something that their military organization is dreadfully lacking. It could end up being a bigger problem down the road for ROK even if they lose a few thousand bodies.

I thought that the solution there has always been to bury it in desert bunkers for 10,000 years.

If we’re still around by the time that becomes too cumbersome we are hopefully space-faring and then yeeting it into Jupiter becomes an option.

If we are unwilling to enforce consequences for what he is doing now, why mull about the potential to do so later? How bad does it have to get for us to take tangible action against Israel?

This sounds like something a White House press secretary would say to cover for the usual jaded American realpolitik motives behind what we are doing.

A white supremacist fever dream fanfiction in which American whites rise up under white supremacy and slaughter all people of color and “race traitors” in the country on the oft-cited “Day of the Rope.” It culminates with the movement taking control of the US nuclear arsenal and taking their holocaust international.

Abortions aren’t contagious, but infectious diseases are, so you have a civic responsibility to protect yourself and therefore the greater whole.

You thought you had something there, huh.

You can get surprisingly far by making people laugh.

There are fan projects like 2009scape that you can play for free.

There was just a story about a group of surrendering Russian soldiers getting shelled by Russian artillery. It isn’t 100% clear that it was intentional, but its hard to not envision it as a throwback to the Soviet penal legions of old.

I’m sure by now they have figured out (or rediscovered, more likely) tactics to minimize the risk of their conscripts folding, sadly.

If anything it should make everyone want to go after the bloodthirsty terrorists. You know, the ones who made everyone’s lives worse by knocking out the power grid?

But reaching that conclusion requires reasoning not addled by lead poisoning and hookworms I guess.

Get on the grindset, steal consumer electronics and catalytic converters from your own family.

Or they just keep quiet and lie and do whatever they want. Hard to prove guilt in the sticks if there isn’t a game warden nearby.

Here’s an anecdote from an American outdoors industry leader where he admits he doesn’t give a shit about conservation laws and admits to seeking out and killing at least one bear, against the advice of fish and wildlife, because he deemed it to be dangerous. https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=108

In typical American legal parlance a “machine gun” is any firearm that fires more than one round per trigger pull, so it’s more or less correct.

I would say it is a problem when criminals have a way to magdump a police cruiser in literally under a second with a concealable weapon.

A prior lawsuit filed over the “Trump Train” alleged the San Marcos Police Department violated the Ku Klux Klan Act by failing to send a police report after multiple 911 calls were made and a bus rider said his life was threatened. It accused officers of privately laughing and joking about the emergency calls. San Marcos settled the lawsuit in 2023 for $175,000 and a requirement that law enforcement get training on responding to political violence.

In case you were still wondering what side the police are on, and whether you could count on their help if these people came after you.

“Made for NATO Army”

No military issue weapon is marked like this. Some idiot with a laser engraver had a little side project, possibly to inflate the value of the gun.

I imagine a lot of the Western arms flowing around that part of the globe right now come from Afghanistan and the US’s chaotic retreat.

I know you mean well, but really you have an unorthodox opinion that the vast majority of users, civilian, professional, even at the organizational level, disagree with.

If you’re relying on a mechanical safety on the firearm itself to prevent tragedy, you’re already screwed. Kids can bypass that stuff with enough fiddling. They just make the firearm more complicated to use, which can paradoxically create more mistakes in some instances, especially under pressure. Nothing replaces responsible handling.

I predominantly shoot Beretta 92 pistols. Traditional double action, comes with a manual safety/decocker from the factory. On the one I shoot the most, I purchased a kit from Beretta that disables the safety to make it only a decocker. It doesn’t make the pistol less safe, it is a dangerous weapon either way. It just simplifies it.

Send me your “dangerous” Glock pistols instead of destroying them.
