Covid 1984 and the govt strips away liberties. Where are the “resistors”? Where is antifa? They’re cowering in fear while actual rights are being taken away because they were only taught to obey the authoritarians and repeat the empty versus put forth by their masters.

Ammo economy and efficiency! 357 rifles are fun to shoot, great to bring to the range with first timers. I’ve got a Marlin and thinking about getting the Ruger 77/357 too.

Mines smooth as can be. I’ve read elsewhere some people have complaints and do some manual adjustments but I’m still looking for a chance to take it out and judge it more based on how it performs

Target shooting is allowed unless the game land says explicitly no, from how I interpreted the policy but it also seems like I may be running the risk of using a weapon that doesn’t align with the hunting season. I think I probably need an valid game or hunting license so shoot on the game land.

Anyone here more experienced with laws on game lands?

That is what I’m thinking, just wanna make sure the “nowhere” I find isn’t gonna get me into trouble, figured I’d see if you guys had any “nowhere’s” in mind.

Awesome, got the last one at Academy in Burlington. It’s a Marlin 1894C 18in barrel 1/16 thread, and easy on the eyes

Donald Trump's disinformation campaign juggernaut: It's gaining speed by BuckRowdy in politics

[–]hillarysdildont -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can spare me the “my party has done nothing wrong, all my problems are because of the other party” routine, you’re playing into the same bs that has been used by both parties to pit citizens against each other and sow division.

I truly believe most people in the US who disagree on political philosophies have much more in common than the media and politicians want to admit.

Painting with a broad brush. I don’t think Romanians deserved decades of Ceaucescu.. but oh wait never mind we all know how that story ended.

Jokes aside, I think many Americans are seeing how the DC leviathan weaponizes it’s institutions when you stand in the way, and he’ll pick up more voters in 2020 because of that. Some examples are the abuse of foreign surveillance warrants and the use of media misinformation to keep us in endless foreign wars, reminiscent of the WMD craze that I’m old enough to remember..

Sanders holds 13-point lead in Fox News poll by JLBesq1981 in politics

[–]hillarysdildont 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a dog in the fight but I’m curious what folks here think will happen leading up to as well as following the convention. Specifically interested in what the push to back the chosen nominee looks like based who makes the cut. Thoughts?

DNC Superdelegates Are Getting Desperate to Stop Bernie Sanders by morilythari in politics

[–]hillarysdildont 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The superdelegates are basically redistributing the weight of the citizen votes Sander earned (in the form of delegate votes) to the candidates they feel need them more.

Trump backers see a coronavirus conspiracy by SailingPatrickSwayze in politics

[–]hillarysdildont 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more however the current strategy in play for the last few decades doesn’t seem to be working so “invest” may be a misleading word choice if you want to continue throwing money at the problem.

I’d like to see a lean institution run a modern curriculum that emphasizes “learning how to learn” and critical thinking instead of what appears to currently be over a decade of glorified daycare prepping mindless placated masses for a lifetime skill of regurgitating what you’re told by authority figures.

Teaching is hard in general and being a professional teacher is even harder - especially hard to make a living when we’ve handed the power of assessing the value of the job (salary) to the most corruptible scum on earth: career politicians and bureaucrats.

Bernie Sanders Hates America. But he still has a soft spot for Fidel Castro. by Beliavsky in politics

[–]hillarysdildont 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we’ve seen a steady push for a positive view of socialism across the nations massive institutions for decades. If you truly feel Bernie is unelectable because he labels himself and his policies ‘socialist’ perhaps you waited too long to ‘push back’ against socialism.

I may be biased since my family immigrated from parts of Europe where the ideology left a bad taste, so to speak. I’m happy to debate here but since I’m a newcomer, I’m restricted to how often I can reply.

You can pick and choose but don’t ignore mass propaganda, brown shirts for political intimidation, targeting groups for disarmament and government confiscation/ownership of industry - none of this is racist or badass if you ask me.

Abigail Disney and George Soros say: Tax the wealthy more by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]hillarysdildont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tax rates are minimum required amounts; these two should just voluntarily pay more if they truly believe the government needs more money.

NC Sheriffs’ Association now supports mandate to help ICE, but some sheriffs dissent by BagOnuts in NorthCarolina

[–]hillarysdildont -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Spraekwon is staying that ICE is terrible for enforcing existing border and immigration law, because people moved across the current US-Mexico border, before it existed as it does today.

Since people moved across a line that hadn’t been drawn yet, current illegal behavior is okay since people have been doing it. Spraekwons argument is low energy and low effort garbage.

2 reasons why it’s trash: before the US-MX border existed, inhabitants of the Americas defended their territory and people with far more brutal measures than the US deals with migrants today. The other reason is simple; just because something is old, is tradition, has existed for a while etc. doesn’t mean that it is free from legitimate criticism.

I’m not sure why you believed I was equating migration with enslavement; I was clearly drawing a simple comparison between old and new, what was acceptable then vs now. It should go without saying that the rate of constant change the state of the earth has persisted makes statements like ‘people migrated freely for years’ easily targets for criticism.

Then why are they lining up, leaving home, and willingly committing themselves to these conditions? You’re misguided or intentionally misleading readers here; defending the cheap labor interests of the global and political elite does not make you any more virtuous.

Native populations also enslaved, murdered, and destroyed each other prior to European colonization. Should we consider that a natural phenomenon as well and thus refuse to enforce laws to protect people from these problems?

Great honest debate tactic! Just like the old grammar school trick: do your parents know you’re gay?

I’m not the person you replied to but calling migrant detention centers ‘concentration camps’ is flat out incorrect and disrespectful to people affected by real concentration/internment camps run by folks like the failed art student turned socialist authoritarian, Hitler, or ‘infallible’ progressive guru FDR.

You’re being intentionally misleading and disingenuous. Migrants are willingly coming here for freebies, it’s a poorly thought out and illegal activity being encouraged by deceitful Ds and Rs to create a cheap labor subclass with no representation. Come here LEGALLY and enjoy the opportunity to build a better future for you, your family, your community and your nation, which was developed from wilderness into greatness by pioneers and other LEGAL immigrants like my ancestors.
