Tbf, Brazil has a south

Hitler was an infantryman in WW1, though he was a messenger his regiment saw heavy combat and he won 2 iron crosses. He almost certainly killed people.

Well you've got one

I think you're probably right that those are what the law is targeting, and Newsweek is simply lying in this article.

The original AR-15 made by Eugene Stoner was select fire only

Sure, but that's not the one people are buying today. I'd bet this is another case of someone mistakenly believing that the AR stands for assault rifle.

The assault rifle/assault weapon distinction is functionally meaningless, and really only applies to the military.

I disagree. Assault rifle has one standard legal definition at the federal level. It's functional in that it makes select fire guns effectively illegal for your average citizen. Assault weapon can apply to nearly anything because has been defined by a multitude of varying laws in different states and municipalities mostly targeting aesthetic features.

Oh, you'll get fudds that will claim otherwise

...like the ATF

Yeah, oof. They're probably just confused by "assault rifle/assault weapon" and bought an AR-15 or something (in which case, imo this new gun owner is obligated to spend some time learning more about guns). But even if that's true, saying "I just bought an assault rifle last week" is going to get some attention from whichever agencies in DC are monitoring Lemmy lol

The person you're replying to means that the pipe had 125 years of mineral deposits coating the inner diameter and separating the water from the lead

It's still good that they replaced it but I'd be shocked if drinking that water impacted you in any perceptible way

No you didn't.

Assault rifles are full auto or burst fire. They're not legal for civilians without a specific form of FFL, which is difficult and expensive to get. Even with an FFL you will probably run into problems with state and local laws. That's why you'll pretty much only see assault rifles at places like the ones outside Vegas where they let you pay to fire one for a few minutes.

None of what you said is true. Assault rifles were effectively banned for civilians by the national firearms act in 1934, and reinforced by the firearm owners protection act in 1986.

You seem to be confusing "assault rifle", which has a legal definition and are illegal nationally, with "assault weapon" which is a poorly defined term (it's basically a "scary looking gun" ban) and no longer illegal federally since the 1994 AWB expired in 2004.

What a pointless bill. Assault rifles have been illegal nationwide for decades.

I wouldn't say they taste anything like buds but they do taste p damn good.

Well the good news is you are free to do edibles any time you like. Lots of people like vape pens. Please don't gatekeep cannabis.

OP actually did it, they saved the library!

I was hoping his first term would lead to dialing back the new powers the executive branch has given itself since 9/11 but it didn't happen and I don't expect it to this time either

They would have to breach the vpn and then also breach the other services once they're on your network. It's another layer of protection.

I didn't say it made him a history buff. I said your argument was dumb. You show up with that argument against anyone who doesn't already agree with you and you're going to get reamed.

I'm not defending him. I'm criticizing you.

"I'm just a history buff, even though I have literally shown zero indication that I give a shit about history in any other context"

He has the preamble to the declaration of independence on his other arm lmao. I agree the guy's most likely a neo Nazi but boy are your arguments dumb.

z/OS

Why? Are American lives more important than Afghani lives? Does torture suddenly become acceptable once you cross a national border? You know el Salvador isn't part of the US either, right?
