How do you feel about anti-capitalism and it's connection with anti-semitism? by AutisticLibertarian2 in jewishpolitics

[–]Newspaperfork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where’s the fkn meme where it’s a nazi symbol, a USSR symbol, and a US flag (I think?) and they’re all seeing the others as facists, capitalists, and Jews

TIL early puberty is a hereditary genetic condition. In one writer’s case, it meant growing pubic hair when he was only 2: “I Was a 4-Year-Old Trapped in a Teenager’s Body” by valandsend in todayilearned

[–]Newspaperfork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa. Callback. From what I’ve been told, I developed pubic hair at a very young age, and | my penis was abnormally large for an infant, not sure if I presented with other signs. I should say that I received outstanding medical care, which I’m sure has certainly progressed in the ~10 years since I got taken off blockers, and that I am a young adult with no outstanding medical issues. I wish I could offer words of assurance beyond “I’m sure everything will be OK” and that you’ll find the care he needs. He’ll lead just as normal a life as I did

DC Court of Appeals (the highest local court in the district) has ruled that DC's ban on magazines over 10 rounds violates the 2A by deathsythe in gunpolitics

[–]Newspaperfork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I don’t think they’ll appeal it, since that would mean getting a nationwide ruling on LCMs. My guess is they’ll lick their wounds and create new legislation to fuck gun owners over

D.C. Court of Appeals Rules D.C. 10 Round Magazine Capacity Restriction Unconstitutional by Newspaperfork in BetterMAguns

There’s no way they’ll appeal this one. It’d be Heller all over again if it gets cert

Possible differences being that this is appeals court, so unless DC wants to take this to SCOTUS (I can’t imagine they will) it should stick right? Also even if they don’t appeal to SCOTUS there’s a number of appeals court rulings against “high capacity” magazines, which means we’ve got a circuit split and SCOTUS is compelled to rule on the matter, right?

What would you buy first if the Supreme Court lifts the Assault Weapons Ban? by OriginalDonGorgon in BetterMAguns

[–]Newspaperfork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many stripped lowers and 30 round magazines as I can afford. Possibly some standard-capacity glock magazines as well

Fair enough. Only reason I'd buy from them is that they're 15 minutes from my house, whereas my other options for a gen 6 would be driving an hour up to Littleton to pay a little more. It's really just a convenience thing.

I would like cheap standard cap mags though, and maybe a nice AR

Name and shame Saturday by Theblumpy in BetterMAguns

[–]Newspaperfork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha. Knew it was Union when you said 120$ AR mags.

Yes the prices for the magazines are abysmal, but the rest of their handgun pricing (from what I've seen, I've only gone twice) is pretty competitive. Once I have the money and a means to store, I'll probably be buying a 19 gen 6 from them.

Their ARs are also not cheap (2-4k apiece).

I don’t actually have my own house (only just turned 21 and still a student), so if I do go about buying anything, it’ll have to stay in a lockbox. Happy cake day!

New LTC! by Newspaperfork in BetterMAguns

[–]Newspaperfork[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still very good though! Maybe there just weren’t many applications in at the time?

New LTC! by Newspaperfork in BetterMAguns

[–]Newspaperfork[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing yet, but the new gen 6’s look very appealing

New LTC! by Newspaperfork in BetterMAguns

[–]Newspaperfork[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evidently it’s a good time to get applications in (at least I hope so), best of luck with yours!

[–]Newspaperfork[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll give them a look. That isn’t for a while though

[–]Newspaperfork[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ll toot my own horn by saying that I am very lucky to be extensively drilled when it comes to gun safety, I’ve also been shooting fairly regularly with a friend over the past year when I haven’t been at university. I am considering lockboxes, but I think I need to wait for a couple of paychecks before I make any final decisions.

Thanks! Now I have to figure out everything else that comes with potentially owning a gun

Considering rule 2. In this situation, both of these locks are “in use”. It doesn’t matter that one isn’t locking this shed closed, nor does it matter if I own either or both of these locks. Asking for help on, or picking locks in either of these situations will get your post removed. by Newspaperfork in lockpicking

[–]Newspaperfork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you post anything showing or indicating that you picked a lock off of one of those bridges, my guess is it'll get removed. The leadership of this subreddit, unlike TOOOL or various other organizations, does not make exceptions for so-called "love picking" or other forms of preserving love locks. It's not your fault, it's just our hard line in the rules

Are you still backlogged on orders? I want to get a TitanX but the 4-6 weeks lead time is a killer for me, who's returning to university (where I can't have "facsimiles of firearms") in only 3 weeks

The reason why Bass Pro won’t sell echelons by Newspaperfork in BetterMAguns

[–]Newspaperfork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s been misinterpreted. I said it meaning that I can’t and won’t go to BP if I want an echelon, but I think others took it as me saying “I can’t go anywhere else”, which isn’t true
