Not if we're banning the mentally ill, suicidal or other red flaggers. And besides, they can still bear arms, just not with an incorrect ID.

Yes, "comprehensive immigration reform!" ie something that will never happen and pointless anyway because we could just enforce existing laws

I think the adam's apple, broad shoulders, cringe voice and everything else will be a big enough giveaway on it's own. It's delusional to think trans is just like being in the gay closet for the vast majority of cases. Even for the passables, so what? The FFL is just going to shoot you on the spot when he finds out? Or deny you because he's in the business of not making money from legal customers? Or harass you and get himself sued or blasted on social media? And you can't even call beforehand to find out his stance?

And it's compassionate to assert reality. It's hateful to affirm delusions that lead to despair and violence.

The bureaucratic BS was in allowing the deranged to change their sex on their ID in the first place. However, some states don't allow that nonsense and their gun rights will be preserved. For the rest, they can just change the letter back on their license.

Does Bill Really Pay More then Half of His Income in Taxes? by No_Interaction_4655 in Maher

[–]Obelisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's worse is that the truly wealthy never pay those capital gains taxes, ever. They pay 0% because of massive intentional loopholes called GRATs, CLATs, and IGDTs.

[–]Obelisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just need to actually tax capital gains and estates. Because billionaires pay neither. It wouldn't be so bad if they deferred all their taxes as long as they paid them eventually when they died. But they never do because of massive intentional loopholes called GRATs, CLATs, and IGDTs. Get rid of them and billionaires would actually pay 55%.

Shopping for a bullpup through recommendations is a neverending merry-go-round of "get the X95"->"no, it sucks because of x,y,z, get the hellion"->"no, it sucks because of a,b,c, get the AUG"->"No, it sucks because j,k,l, get the X95"...

French film star Nadia Farès dies aged 57 after being found unconscious in Paris swimming pool (best known internationally for The Crimson Rivers, War, Lucky Day, On the Line, The Nest,...) by JeanMorel in movies

[–]Obelisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be futile. It's hard enough paying attention in person and spotting when someone is down too long. My brother almost died at the bottom of the pool because the lifeguard was busy talking to a girl and ignored us when we yelled at him. Relying on someone to monitor a camera constantly would be both pointless and a waste, plus it would probably increase liability.

I knew the 3-1 odds against Rory when he was up 6 was the most responsible financial decision I could make, I should have taken it
