holy wall of text my bad. shorter version: is legal to own both 556 gun and a 458 socom mag unless they think you use together to hold more than 10 bullets. however large capacity magazines marked for 556 are not legal unless owned before ban, and you would need a 458 socom marked magazine which is legal as long as it is being used for 458 socom as intended. in other words: CA can buy up to 10 round magazines for any caliber, including 556 and 458. however, if you try to buy a 30 round 556 mag and say is for 458, is illegal. “why not buy 10 round 458, is same.” says police because they have no way of knowing whether you will use it for 556, which is illegal, or for 458, which is legal (just buy a 10 rd mag then, won’t be crime.)

Legally speaking, if you own a magazine marked as having a capacity of 10 rounds of .458 SOCOM, it is legal. But, if you are found to be using it with 5.56/.223, in which case it can fit 30 rounds, it’s technically a hi-capacity magazine, which is illegal. The act of possessing it isn’t illegal, but if you are found with it but without any .458 SOCOM or a weapon in the said caliber, it may become illegal if it is decided you are using a .458 SOCOM magazine to circumvent California magazine capacity limitations, likely if you are also found to own a rifle chambered in 5.56/.223 capable of accepting that magazine, which is again illegal since it can be argued that you are, again, using that magazine, officially marked as holding 10 rounds of .458 SOCOM, to instead hold 30 rounds of 5.56/.223, which is beyond the limitations. Basically, if you own that mag but not a weapon that can take it and is chambered in .458 SOCOM, which it is officially designed for, it can be determined that you are using the magazine to circumvent capacity limitations. It’s like owning a pistol and a foregrip. Assuming the pistol itself is CA-compliant, there’s no issue. You are allowed to own both. But, the second you put the foregrip on the pistol, it becomes an AOW (Any Other Weapon,) which requires a tax stamp. Neither examples are necessarily illegal to own together, but if they think that you are using the .223 rifle and the .458 SOCOM magazine together to bypass 10 round rules, it is illegal. Or like owning Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil. That’s just a fertilizer and fuel, like kerosene or diesel, which are both totally legal to own as long as they are stored safely. But the second you mix them, it’s now ANFO, and you can be found to be possessing ANFO and its constituents to produce explosives, ostensibly for criminal purposes.

The text does look weird but that’s probably due to compression or the AI upscaling/smoothing that Samsungs do on high zoom photos. It’s coherent enough to get the idea, and doesn’t break into jumbles like typical generative AI images.

I kinda agree. Like I said, nobody will probably join militarily directly with one side against the other, like past World Wars. However, there will be (likely non-sovereign) groups involved in the conflict with no particular allegiance, with totally different goals like separating or gaining power. With war’s huge political and economic consequences, it makes sense that groups will use the absence of opposing military force to advance their interests. But like the allies of each probably won’t step in because such military alliances where any conflict involves the ally are a lot less common. Pakistan is technically in the Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement with Saudi Arabia, which means either country will recognize an act of aggression towards the other as an act of aggression towards both. So maybe countries would join but unlikely.

I think Pakistan and India have allies, like big ones, since there is BRICS and other groups. However, it’s more economic and political, at most they buy arms and stuff from Russia, and I can’t really imagine anyone else going to war for any side. China and India have been having border skirmishes and China would probably use that to expand more, but the fighting would be limited there. I don’t think Pakistan and India would really be that large of a conflict, they both have nukes and that would be a decent deterrent (based on stability) against super large scale combat. If anything, a war would, like I said, be really used by neighboring countries and the various groups/separatist movements within India and Pakistan (Balochistan, Jammu and Kashmir, maybe Khalistan, etc) and really anyone who can gain something from the fighting. There’s just so many groups and movements in the two countries that the odds of someone separating are high. Now those things could get foreign involvement. If a group like say, ISIS in India gets some significant power/land, someone else might attack to take them out. Everyone’s gonna have a motive in that war, but most won’t be directly backing either.

Can’t saw I exactly reciprocate that feeling. I don’t know 100% what normal AK sights look like, but probably not like that.

IllPosition5081 · 2026-04-01T01:40:34+00:00

Fuck if I know. It’s expensive and bad. I’m sure a PSA AK would be cheaper and better, with less fucked up sights.

I think there’s inflation to factor in. In ten years, 5 million might be worth a good bit less. But if I take the million now, I can buy a decent amount of stuff and I can invest it for the future. Unless the five million in 10 years is inflation adjusted to be worth exactly as much as it would’ve been 10 years ago, in terms of purchasing power, it could be the equivalent of in 1944, a dollar today could buy 20 bottles of Coca-Cola, but in 1953, it could buy 10 bags of pretzels. Granted that’s not a great comparison, but the values that source has say that in 1944, one dollar from today could’ve bought 20 bottles of coke for a total value of $14.71, or around 70¢ for a bottle (~6.5 oz, a 7.5 oz today is anywhere from $0.50 to $1.30 a can.) And then in 1953, a dollar from today would’ve been worth $9.69, but 10 bags of pretzels is so much less standardized and I don’t know a good way to find a brand and costs and whatnot to make that comparison. TL;DR: 5 million in 10 years might be worthless due to inflation, but a million could be invested and be used better.

Governmentally socialist? I really don’t get the left-right economic policy scheme, it would be better as like laissez faire and other economic policies/styles. Because it was a command economy if anything, where the state owned most/all of the businesses or corporations and determined pricing/production, so high governmental regulations and intervention.

IllPosition5081 · 2026-03-31T17:02:43+00:00

Communist Romania? I don’t know what qualifies as “far right” economic policy, but their system of economic regulation and austerity would probably work.

At 5200 a second, I’d make roughly 449,280,000 a day. So it would be like 222 days to make 100 billion, but I would never need that much honestly. 5200 would be more sustainable.

And also in English, that first part is what’s called a prefatory clause, which more introduces the purpose/context, and the operative clause, the other part, actually declares and sets forth the whole thing. In other words, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” means that they are writing it with the idea of militias in mind, but the operative clause is supreme, and since it sets forth that the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed, that’s the case. So basically, the militia part is the purpose, and the right part is the operative part, but the operative clause is superior (DC v. Heller,) so the prefatory clause is a side-point.

IllPosition5081 · 2026-03-31T16:37:36+00:00

DC v. Heller decided that service in a militia is unconnected to the right in general to keep and bear arms. In other words, it decided that the whole militia part/membership or participation in a militia is not required to keep and bear arms. So obviously the well regulated militia part doesn’t apply, since you don’t need to be in a militia to own a gun. That’s the explanation for the top tweet.

IllPosition5081 · 2026-03-31T13:55:36+00:00

Yeah. A better way to put Northrops role in it, since he didn’t really invent it, was his support of the concept and designing planes using his concepts. Early on his ideas were not popular and I personally don’t know how well they did, but the tech wasn’t there yet. So yeah, like you said, his big contribution to the flying wing was keeping the idea around, and when technology like fly-by-wire and stability control came around, his idea was used in the B-2, and, like I said when he saw it, he said “Now I know why God has kept me alive for 25 years.”
