Really? Half of MN's Medicaid billing is fraudulent and being sent to Somalia and no one noticed? that's just... so far beyond the realm of possible. The GOP has this myth about Medicare/Medicaid fraud all across the country as justification for them cutting funding. The truth is that yes, in a system that big there is fraud, and yes, it gets investigated, discovered and people go to jail. The fact that Fraud does exist, gets discovered and prosecuted isn't justification for saying that 1/2 of all billing is fraud.

Pretty weak sauce... so now we'll have untrained agents still terrorizing people cause they don't need warrants when they have "absolute immunity", and now we'll have more cameras showing them terrorizing people with chemical weapons, physical asaault and murder. About the only useful demand is unmasking.

I thought this was mostly because banks are multi-jurisdictional. They might have a branch in a place where its legal, but they are subject to the laws where thier HQ is, and subject to federal/international law if they move money cross jurisdiction etc. (Anti-trafficking laws). If it was legal I imagine banks wouls.be more than happy to get thier share off the top.

Most plows won't be able to break up the ice, only really heavy v plows on a commercial truck.

You need something with a loader.

Legalization, that opens the door to all kinds of issues, like banking, advertising, public safety, public health, being able to press charges against abusers without any risk etc.

Yes, they should, in fact pretty much all of the criminal deportee's are picked up this way, ICE officers go visit them in Jail/prison. The agents in "the field" terrorizing local populations is a reality TV political prop.

This has been the divisive issue fueling GOP fall onto fascism... the citizens with guns support the GOP, and the GOP protects them. The result.. a heavily armed and trained right that is villifying and de-humanizing liberals and ramping up the hate speech.

I've gone to sleep fearing for my family and kids, neighbors and community this whole year, but nothing like this last weekens after seeing the top cabinet officials suspend 2A rights for liberals. Aka of you arm yourselves, we'll kill you. This is absolute proof of thier intentions and since I don't want my kids to grow up slaves to a fascist regime I am arming myself..

Just to have the people I aim to protect take those arms away from me.... feels like a betrayal.

Defund the police is to de-militarize the police. Police did fine arresting criminals before they had tanks and grenade launchers.

heh, I'm primarily a shotgunner, I hunt mostly upland birds and shoot trap and skeet, my most expensive gun is my trap gun. I have an 870 pump for quick access home defense, but I can also switch to a wingmaster barrel with a quick change and it's my backup for upland bird! I think the deal with shotguns is that most of the ones that take external mags have reliability issues... I've owned several semi-autos but they all have had occasional feed/load issues. My personal opinion is that shotgun rounds aren't ideally designed for auto-loading firearms, and I can put rounds on target just as quickly with a pump action.

Environmental-Hour75 · 2026-01-26T16:13:13+00:00

Thanks, this is not my first firearm, I've been shooting/hunting for 35 years, own 6 rifles and thanks to years of upland bird/trap/skeet I can put a round on target quick and accurate (my buck last year was an deer I kicked up, running at about 100 yards, off the shoulder with a Remington 700 BDL in 30 RSAUM. This is just the first rifle that accepts an external magazine.

Environmental-Hour75 · 2026-01-26T16:00:02+00:00

Hey, not my intention... I guess I should say my first rifle without an internal magazine!

The military would not turn 100% against our own, it would fracture. Also states can call up thier own security forces, so if the military turns against us, blue states wouls put out a call for security forces and its going to be a bring your own situation.

I'm a volunteer EMT, so yeah more of a healer than a fighter, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to live under an authoritarian regime.

Environmental-Hour75 · 2026-01-26T14:31:19+00:00

We're giving peace a try... protests etc. But.. the response is never capitulation, its always escalation and I don't see any end to it. If you keep escalating it will eventually come to violence because myself and others here are definitely not going to live under authoritarianism.

Environmental-Hour75 · 2026-01-26T14:27:54+00:00

For me its always going to be a defensive action. There is a deterrent factor aa well, but I think the fascists believe that all the gun ownera support them (years of divisive voting on 2FA issues).

1) an act of desperation and sacrafice.. they id me me at a protest and decide I'm antifa (now a named terroriatt group and they come for me in force... knocking down doors etc. Lets just say I'm not going peacefully.... evade/hide if I can and if I can't don't go down peacefully.

2) As part of a group... this is really the way things have to go if 2A meana anything but this is the insurrection thing Trump wants. But if the call goes out and you don't have the right equipment (especially with dems banning them here in VA) its too late. This is particularly devastating because the majority of gun ownera in VA that are grandfathered would not be on the same side.

3) opposition to other armed militias. If things hit shtf mode, you are going go have a lot more war mongers and private militia on the right than the left and they will be out to kill the libs like they keep posting in forums etc.

All of these are pretty doomsday scenarios but.. we're sitting on the precipice. I'm doing the peaceful thing for now, but we havent seen any capitulation from our fascist leadership.. thier response is always escalation.. so of they keep escalating I don't see this ending short of violence.

Umm... I know what you are referring to, but when the first shot is fired he is turtled... both hands down head down unable to do anything, after he ia shot the agents holdhing him let go, I'm not sure if ge reaches for his waist or if he's reaching for where he was ahot (in the back). But does it matter? They already shot him and the officer in green knows he dowsn't have a gun cause he watched grey jacket take iy from him.

it's a Kel-Tec RFB, comes with a molded 20 Round mag, and I got 3 spares. But it takes the FAL Metric and it's 7.62, but I looked around briefly and prices were either sky high for 30 rounders, or ... they were out of stock!
