Thats especially bad because theres no serious acting 3rd party to fill the vacuum.

They can't cave on this. Resign with dignity if it comes to this.

Every one of these motherfuckers would trust a doctor if they broke their leg.

Depends on weapon, cartridge, suppressor, ambient noise and intermediate barriers. Doesnt take all that much to muffle a subsonic small or medium caliber pistol or carbine.
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
And now we're back to the strawman, because you didnt read the thread, Izzy.
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure man. There's lots of room for details. Unfortunately, one side makes proposals, arguments, and brings in real world problems that beg for solutions. The other side quotes bumper stickers and yells "no" a lot. Then wonders why they don't have a hand in crafting good gun laws.

Lethality is enhanced if detection, and police arrival are delayed. Lethality is enhanced if people have less time to run away.
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay. Still, nobody serious trying to take their places.
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
Whatever dude. Crooks and crazies don't do the process. Dudes who do, make sure the suppressor isn't stolen Machine guns are similar, and they're easier to cover.

I just said, "meaningful regulation," A national database is a hard sell.
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
Nah, the wait and extra expense is typically what makes them rare, with a variety of pleasant consequences, like they are rarely used in crimes.
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
maybe that's 'cause they're subject to such rigorous government control? What, and this is crazy, if we regulated all guns in a meaningful way, instead of trying to ban a few of them?
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
Depends on the cartridge, the weapon, the silencer, ambient noise, and what's between you and the gun. It's very possible that suppressed sub sonic gunshots will not be identified as gunshots by those nearby. So, "youre absolutely going to hear it," is a total bullshit statement
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
So, un, it certainly can be automatic.

Y'all coulda made the headline, "The Science doesn't support that," but you chose soft clickbait

The latest killer was trans, and also a white nazi. Wanna lock up all white people and nazis? Or just trans people?

Are Democrats really going to try to remain moderates this year? Read the fucking room, guys. I've voted Democratic for a long time, but I no longer consider myself a Democrat. What a bunch of clown shoes.

She was shot as the first member of an angry mob to breach a barricade. Thereafter, nobody else tried to breach it. Id say she died for a good cause, just not the cause she was fighting for.

I understand they were also a Nazi who had an unhealthy obsession with school shootings and guns. Is the right going to attack gun nuts and Nazis? Unlikely.

I wonder, we've had two religious shools shot by trans people, and churches who tell trans people theyre going to hell for being trans... is there a connection?
Tim (@trmoses.bsky.social) reply parent
Why?

I imagine that if churches didnt teach trans kids thay theyre going to hell anyway...

The only folks left in the press corps are the ones who dont question the lies. Makes you wonder what they get out of the job. The pay isnt *that* good.

What if we put an end to dark money instead of pointing out when one side or another uses it? Too idealistic.

Are they expecting shaped penetrator IEDs in DC? Fuck. Any HMMWV would be better in DC. Can you imagine an MRAP trying to navigate Dupont or the Navy Yard? I mean, without destroying cars and sidewalks. I used to run ambulance into DC, much smaller than an mrap.
