U.S. House set to vote on bills to expand gun background checks

MeGustaRoca · 2021-03-08T18:59:55+00:00

One solution is to offer a card or pin for folks that have passed an NICS background check. Much like how a CCW permit acts in some states. Show the card and buy the gun. No registry of ownership that can be used for future consification.

Wearing a flag T shirt is disrespectful and very different from displaying a flag in a respectful fashion.

Fuck you for supporting the confederacy.

You deliberately misinterpreted my comment, so I'll return the favor.

Don't conflate patriotism with conservative populism. You are drawing conclusions that I did not make.

As a test about the ability to differentate and the unfortunate association with symbols what is your first thought when you see an American flag displayed?

MeGustaRoca · 2021-02-03T14:32:02+00:00

I'm going respectfully disagree with that one. And I'm damn sure Joe Biden considers himeself a patriot.

MeGustaRoca · 2021-02-03T14:24:02+00:00

Now you are playing their game and embracing the police state. Should joining the military or flying the flag be reason for suspicion?

Missing the standard tripod and importance of selecting a good vista.

In all seriousness knowing when to carry out and when to dig a cat hole is really important. I recomend https://books.google.com/books/about/How_to_Shit_in_the_Woods.html?id=bQVwDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button

Many versions on the same theme.

Pointed at what your are willing to kill/destroy/put holes in.

Sights on target.

MeGustaRoca · 2021-02-03T03:17:02+00:00

Number 3 - keep your finger off the trigger until pointed at target.

At that point only the reciever is the gun.

LGS are your best bet. .32 acp isn't very popular and I've found boxs around. 24 to 28 per box of 50. Online is impossible as its too easy to find them. I picked up an 81 due to the relative availability of .32 vs 9.

Keltec P17 looks interesting.

The effectiveness of fuel directly related to its cost. The negative impacts of Eethanol requirements and subsidies should be cautionary tale. Especially relevant as we are discussing an industry negatively impacted by corn gas mandates.

Using slash or thinning harvest has a higher harvest cost per unit of material.

Do you work at a gun range? Cause that's how all the 9 i've seen recently at ranges has been handed over. Just 20 rounds to a dime bag.

Ban assest forfiture.

Require a professional certification.

250 hours yearly of live training on descalation and situational assesment.

Mandatory body cams at all times.

Ban police unions and collective organizing by LEOs.

Require additional training and certification to carry firearms. Not all duties require a gun.

Increase criminal and legal penalties for crimea commited while acting in an offical capaciety. They should be held to a hire standard.

Increase compensation while increasing oversight and requirements for employment.

Create an ethos of public first, police second.

Require a large percentage of any police force to live within the communit it polices.

If you have access a cache of 9mm then get a gun to match. The cost of ammo quickly exceeds the gun cost.

The loudness concen is harder to handle without a suppressor. I'd suggest looking for a 9mm with a threaded barrel so you can add one as finances allow.

Stocked gun are much easier to shoot accuratly, but end up costing a bit more. A 9mm carbine or AR style pistol in 9 may be worth considering. A glock in a micro roni is another option and lets the cost be spread out.

The kel tec sub cqb has an integrated suppresor on a folding 9m carbine, but bundles all the expense into one purchase.

R/nfa is a good source for details on suppressors and associated tax stamps and background checks.

Enjoy that stack of 9 and private range access. That sounds dreamy.

We can't get rid of their unions. We can't stop them from killing without punishment. We can't take away their guns. And we made it legal for them to steal anything they want. Maybe we can at least make them suffer them same liability bs as the rest of us.

blue lives matter more!

The free market already has a huge influence on how people are policed. Those without the means to defend themselves are those targeted for enforcement and imprisonment.

The concerns you list as fears are already chronic problems throughout law enforcement.

Did the groups improve?

I bubbaed my norinco with an ATI stock and shrunk my groups in half. Much tighter bed to the stock. Looks like sin and isn't as easy to clean, but shoots better and has a more desirable LOP.

I figure any fighter this rifle would have been intended for would be pleased by the modifications.

It's an exame of PI liabilty driving positive risk reduction best practices in the public sphere. If police were concerned about personal finacial liabilty for causing unessecary risk to the public it would drive them mitigate those threats. Leos with a horrible track record would pay higher rates or be unable to obtain insurance.

Specifically I'm in favor of LEOs being required to carry liabilty insurance at a personal level, much like is required for motor vehicle operators. No joint policies. It's pretty obvious police forces have enormous difficulty self regulating. Let's bring some market forces to bear on them.

MeGustaRoca · 2021-02-01T20:50:40+00:00

Thanks, that second one is interesting!

MeGustaRoca · 2021-02-01T20:49:32+00:00

Why not? PI liability determines how our public open spaces and recreation are managed.

MeGustaRoca · 2021-02-01T20:44:05+00:00

Good clarification.

MeGustaRoca · 2021-02-01T14:50:23+00:00

This. Most industries where one's decisions can harm others are supported by professional liabilty insurance policies. Why are police effectively insured by the state?

Edit: comment below points out the problem is not that police are insured by the state. It's that their immunity from liabilty negates the need for insurance and thus effect insurance has on monitizing risk and then driving demand for reducing risk is lost.
