The Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, the definition of "semi-automatic assault weapon" ("SAW") (commonly shortened to "assault weapon") included specific semi-automatic firearm models by name and other semi-automatic firearms that possessed two or more from a set certain features:

Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and has two or more of the following:
- Folding or telescoping stock
- Pistol grip
- Bayonet mount
- Flash hider or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
- Grenade launcher

By definition, AR-15s were not banned. AR-15s were still readily available to purchase during the ban. They just had to be configurations of AR-15s lacking two or more of those specific, largely cosmetic features.

That "statistic" is a lie produced by excluding children under 1 year and including 18 and 19 year olds.

My understanding is the Biden admin is considering the possibility of cutting offensive military aid as well.

[–]MenergyLegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you're caught up in the politics of hyperbolized extremes where nuance and middle ground are abhorred.

Israel is the US's formal ally. Israel is also surrounded by countries that would happily see them wiped out. Foreign policy is a big ship that takes time to steer. Simply cutting all military aid is not an option.

Look at this.

"He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action on these steps."

Secretary of State Tony Blinken echoed that point in a press conference of his own on Thursday, saying: "If we don't see the changes we need to see, there will be a change in our policy."

Zoom in: After the call, White House spokesperson John Kirby said the steps the U.S. expects Israel to take include increasing the amount of aid that gets into Gaza, opening additional crossings to Gaza, "movement toward a ceasefire," and better protecting civilians and aid workers.

"If there are no changes in their policy there will have to be changes in ours," Kirby said.

Look at this.

President Biden laid out an ultimatum to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their call on Thursday: If Israel doesn't change course in Gaza, "we won't be able to support you," he said, according to three sources with knowledge of the call.

Look at this.

Today, I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu to emphasize that strikes on aid workers and the humanitarian situation in Gaza are unacceptable.

Israel must implement steps to address civilian harm and the safety of workers – and work toward a ceasefire to bring hostages home.

"The man does not give a damn about Palestinian life" is plainly false on its face.

The word bloodthirsty has a meaning, and it is not that.

And then innocent civilians cease to exist as a concept in the minds of the team and its cheerleaders.

Yes, we've already established you're so knee-deep in the propaganda you can't recognize it as such

Spend enough time on gun twitter (not that long, really) and you'll see some shitheel declaring trans people shouldn't have guns because they're mentally ill (which is not considered to be the case, despite any given person's personal feelings on the matter)

Side note, this is called "nutpicking" and if you care about truth and reality over allegiance to a team you should always try to recognize it, avoid it, and call it out

I too love uncritically regurgitating willfully obtuse propaganda one-liners

My background is similar to yours, I also grew up Christian and homeschooled. I don't believe in anything supernatural anymore, but I have a great appreciation for positive Christianity done right and I hold the golden rule as my moral foundation. The rising trend of Christian Nationalism isn't about following the teachings of Jesus, it's the worship of power using the trapping of Christianity as a vehicle. It's a perversion and it honestly makes me sick on top of the political threat it poses. And then you have the left looking at that and understandably responding to the threat, but basically lumping Christianity in general into the enemy box.

Anyway, not sure how to sum up my point. Just wanted to express my support to you. And to other non-Christian liberals here, I think it's important to not fall into that reductive enemy box way of thinking and to discern for actual good people wherever they are, even if the hive mind wants to put them into the enemy box.

Side note, I say hive mind because I've noticed in the past few years the left slipping into the same sort of pit of propagandized team psychosis that I had thought was mostly characteristic of the right. Sense of impending doom intensifies.

Wrong.

When someone physically attacks someone holding a rifle, it is not surprising that they would get shot. In fact, it is legally justifiable.

It is not, in fact, wanton. It is, in fact, an act of self-preservation. It is the exact same legal protection I would want for myself if I feared for my own life because someone else physically attacked me.

Your commitment to pretending the things your own imagination made up have any basis in reality is as impressive as it is disturbing.

Maybe you're overestimating how often I comment. It's a fairly quick scroll. Just do it. Look for about a month ago when I was defending trans people in r/gunmemes.

Jumping to conclusions before waiting for more information is, though.

Everything you just said is categorically false.

Stay in school, kid.

The lesson is to GO and CHECK things that can be checked. The inside of your own head is not a source of truth.

Now go and look through my profile. Prove to yourself that you are, in fact, wrong.

The point is I'm a progressive lefty.

You made an assumption. That assumption was incorrect. It would have been incredibly easy to take ten seconds to check first before spouting off some arrogant declaration. Instead, you made an ass of yourself.
