Biden continues to espouse that he will always fund Israel, his red line had nothing to do with funding. It's not shocking that no ones listening to him. It's either wilful incompetence or malevolence at this point.

It's important to call things what they are. I know of magazine capacity laws written so poorly they dont even touch belt fed weapons and for the low low price of 1500 bucks you can convert the AR you already have into a belt fed weapon and constantly fire rounds until you run out of belt or the guns melts. And that's just a part called the upper reciever which legally is not a gun. You can get it shipped online no questions asked, no checks required. Knowing what you're talking about makes a difference. This is how loopholes get made.

Go to home depot and you can make a pipe shotgun that doesn't even require welding to make. A lot of fully 3d printed guns are 9mm. If you havent shot both cartridges I cannot explain the difference between 9mm and a shotgun slug. Maybe it will suffice to say the bulletproof vests that stop 9mm, when hit with a shotgun slug often result in broken ribs, punctured lungs, and general chest cave ins. Your 3d printed gun will undoubtedly have better rate of fire but in terms of accuracy and level of destruction, the shotgun will compete just fine.

If I was told correct info I think even the armed forces dont like full auto outside of specific use cases like mounted guns with hundreds to thousnads of rounds in boxes and for supressing fired from rifles with detachable mags. If you really wanted to mow through a crowd for some ungodly reason a semi auto (not pump) shotgun with buckshot shells and a detachable mag would work as well as full auto rifle in an intermediate cartridge.

Oh in that case genocide is totally okay then. Disgusting logic.

Comprehensive mental healthcare would work to alleviate so many problems from homelessness to things like this. I can tell you from expirence in the field that unhoused people + housing + mental healthcare = someone who's very likely to never be homeless again. There are countless other problems this would help too. In a country where everything needs fixing, it would be a great start.

Some part of me thinks that many of the backers of this idea want exactly that.

Correct.

They shoot their own hostages in what seems like remenants or revival of the hanibal directive. It'd be foolish to assume they wont bite the hand that feeds, especially when they get away with everything they do. Why would Israel expect consequences?

Biden wouldn't have the balls to so much as j walk even with immunity.

Bold move. Who are they going to blame all the online privacy issues once they cant yell about the Chinese? Or are we going to start pretending everythings fine then?

Replacing critically deficient infrastructure has been declared a progressive issue in todays overton window. So no chance places like Texas do it.

And yet they're all subject to the law.

If I was the good faith party I'd prepare with a list of inflamatory but true claims on the bad faith party and any time they try to sidestep, throw the accusations at them and force them to go on the defensive instead of giving them a platform to try and legitimize their bullshit. If you're talking about what everyone thinks you are, theres no 'rising above' it, you gotta attack it.

You should know better than to levy any sort or critisizm on Democrats or Biden. We're not allowed to do that even on lemmy aparently. They don't like it when you vote third party and they don't like it when you try and make their chosen candidate represent your views. They don't want people like us. They just say they do.

Freeways aren't obligated to cater to pedestrians. Workplaces are obligated to foster safe environments for all employees. You can think what you want of things connected to musk but it still SpaceX's fault at the end of the day.

Journalists have two duties these days. Make stories out of some Twitter users, and repeat police press releases verbatim without doing their own research. This is the second one, but with a countries propaganda organization instead of just the police.

What made you think that?

Everyone loves a good saltfish fritter and fried plantins. Dont say plantAin, just plantin will do on the island.

How's that going for Russia and Nalvanys sacrifice?
