  • Even then, most of California was predominantly Hispanic from the mid 1700s onward. When the Spaniards came to Baja California in the mid 1750s, they established 5 Franciscan missions in baja, along with 21 missions between San Diego and just north of the bay. They mixed with the indigenous population, who then became known as Californios. It wasn't until white people started showing up just prior to and especially during the gold rush, with then California becoming a US state in 1850. Even then, it wasn't until the late 1800s/early 1900s that California became predominantly white, and that was primarily due to the sheer number of white folks that moved west in such numbers that eclipsed the local Hispanic population.

  • Damn dude, chill out. You're assumptions are out of this world and it's laughable.

    I can tell you're blowing smoke out of your ass because anyone with eyes and rudimentary gun knowledge would be able to tell pretty quickly this is an ar-10, not 15. This was built for me by a buddy, the optic and stock I purchased after the fact. Yes the optic is overkill for this particular rifle, and will likely get transferred to my 30-06. The image is from the shop where we signed the transfer paperwork.

    You're showing your colors as a stereotypical arrogant keyboard warrior, who takes their assumptions and runs a marathon with them, parading around like a pathetic asshat to make yourself feel better. Grow up and be better.

  • It's not a Magpul, I forget the brand but it's super comfy.

    My small town is very heavily armed, but is also way more moderate (purple) than anything. Sure we have our far right wingnuts, but they tend to be on the lower end of the intelligence spectrum in these parts. They tried forming a militia a while back, and most everyone in town just laughed at them. A lot of of us enjoy going shooting regularly (when it's not freezing out), and I'm certainly not trying to take on the gravy seals by myself lol. My good buddies and I have contingency plans in place in case shit goes sideways in the worst of ways.

  • Absolutely. It was at least 10 years ago, but I'll keep looking. As I remember it was a group of franchise locations that took it upon themselves to boost their wifi revenue, not a corporate directive, and they got their asses handed to them by the the FCC and Marriott corporate.

  • I'm reliably accurate to about 800 yards and I really don't like fascist assholes.

    It's also not hard to buy a gun, that's just a bunch of baloney, even here in CA. Yes there are carry restrictions, and yes it's more involved than other states, but buying one is not as difficult as people make it out to be.

  • It sounds like some employers/HR outfits are just grossly misinformed then. The I9 form directions are pretty clear in what is required and/or acceptable, and this documentation is only required for I9 purposes, other than a DL for a driving related job. Companies are not necessarily required to have copies of the I9 identity documents used on file, but it is good practice in case of an audit, which is why most companies do it (a CYA basically). In theory, if someone reports a company because they suspect they're employing people unauthorized to work in the US, providing copies of the documents you used for the I9 verification shows that your did your due diligence and they're more likely to leave you alone.

    Pretty much every company I ever worked for took a copy of my passport, and I see no harm in that as long as their storage is reasonably secure.

  • When I onboard people, I'm required to see proof of identity and proof of authorization to work in the US, as well as make copies for INS audit purposes. A passport covers both of those requirements, but for people that do not have a passport, a DL and a social security card are the most common, followed by a DL and birth certificate. One is a photo ID from an official source, the other shows either US citizenship or something saying you're allowed to work as a non citizen (aka a green card).
