Imagine living close to Nevada and not using the ammo on a chance to fire some really kick ass guns. That state is like mecca for collectors and automatic weapon lovers.

Large quantiy ammunition buying is super economical, it's fairly common to see groups of shooting enthusiasts all go in on a pallet of ammo and distribute the ammo amongst themselves. Buying that much alone is a bit strange, but depending on how often you shoot you can go through a loooot of amunition quicker than you realize. Not millions of rounds, but I wouldn't think twice of someone with a few thousand rounds.

Even Lenin stayed out of Russia when the government set it sights on him and waited for a more oportune time to come back. Here's to hoping Martyrdom will change things, but Russians are very very used to things getting worse and just taking it on the chin.

That's precisely how it's being used now though. People don't want things they don't like to be seen, so they downvote.

On lemmy an arch nemesis is what you get when you shit talk Linux on the technology boards.

Not an option you have if theres people between you and the shooter like a dense crowd, and firing through a crowd is general frowned upon, even when you're trying to not hit them. The last thing you do if you have a gun in that situation is pull it out before you have cover and know where the threat is coming from or your will absolutely be shot by the cops if not the shooter. Dense crowding also played a part in why they were able to be tackled to the ground. A lot harder to get close if the shooting starts and no one's physically near the shooter.

To a republican leftism is anything they don't like. That doesn't make it true simply because half the country says it. That word has meaning, the overton window is being pushed to convince you it does not.

Let's extrapolate, lets say not killing the planet is a leftist position, what's the democrat position then? Only kill a little of the planet?

Leftist means a fundamental restructuring of ownership over the economy and means of production. 'Not destroying the planet' is not a leftist position, it's simply a position common among leftists because we dont want our kids to die. Shows how far the overton window has been pushed right when things like fixing bridges that are decades out of spec and trying to not kill the planet is considered leftist.

Bet he gets a cushy job offer in the right wing political or media sphere.

For me it's materially based. Are they alive and profiting from my listening to them? Then I avoid it. Are they dead or is the money going somewhere not horrible? Fine I guess. Like imagine buying or supporting Nicki Minaj knowing she used that money to harass rape victims. You can seperate all the art you want, if you paid her you paid for that.

They lied to us. They we're never going to let us even try to push.

I wrote mine during the Sheikh Jarrah incidents and got nothing but lip service. Guess how my reps voted since then? Once they're elected they don't need you anymore. Peace is a fringe position, and all you can do is not vote for them again.

Classic Democrat strategy, says what you want to hear, doesn't follow through.

Red line go up, economy good

Thats my means of production! I don't know youuu!

Yeah I keep thinking this too, it's a buy once game, they still have the money they made. They're trying to push more content as quick as possible to get more waves of players, new and old. I'm positive their accountants know the player base isn't rebuying the game.

Listen buddy, if there's two things the US does it's sell weapons and interfere. Usually at the same time.

Okay so wouldn't that imply that there's something else going on causing the shootings since the school shootings haven't been like this since for the majority of the existence of the country? How many school shootings happen at the hands of ccw permit holders? Most of the time it seems they're not even using concealable weapons.

Is he sticking with Harris? Why, did she get more popular or something?

Not just did, is still doing too.
