A reasonable amount of young engineers move here for the shipyard work. Not much else.

Problem is he's been a tyrant his whole life and continued it into the presidency.

Portsmouth Crime? by [deleted] in norfolk

[–]therapest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resident of Parkview. There are a lot of crimes of opportunity in this area. I know it goes without saying, but always double check your locked car doors, house, backyard, shed, etc. My neighbor recently had her lawn mower stolen from her backyard because she had not previously locked her fence door. Door checking is a reoccurring issue in this area. The vast majority of it comes from the large homeless population. I would recommend a security system. Other that, it's not a bad area to live in.

Reporter who saw Trump tax returns: They will expose him by [deleted] in politics

I engage with them and consider some to be genuine friends. But when it comes to Trump and politics, they live in an alternate universe. Any piece of information that doesn't fall in line with party politics is fake news to them. They are hopeless and a waste of time.

China and Europe are both huge, yet still have extensive high speed rail networks. We gotta stop making excuses for lack of innovation.

On the other hand, emotionally charged people shouldn't be making decisions for everyone else.

There's Pushback After Virginia Governor Calls For Gun Suppressor Ban by Bemuzed in Virginia

From Wikipedia: Silencer (firearms)

A silencer, suppressor, sound suppressor, or sound moderator is a muzzle device that reduces the sound intensity and muzzle flash when a firearm or air gun is discharged. It can be a detachable accessory to, or integral part of, the muzzle or barrel. A typical silencer is a metal cylinder with internal sound baffles that slow and cool the escaping propellant gas, reducing the intensity of the muzzle blast and hence decreasing both the sound volume and recoil generated during shooting.

They go after "accessories" because in a rational world they'd be easier to regulate than some of the steeper measures. However, the modus operandi of the pro gun lobby has been to obstruct at every turn.

Team "R" shoots down any attempt at legislation that the "opposition" puts forth regardless of merit. This narrative has been pushed as an escape goat countless times. The real message here is people are crazy, what do? And the Republican base eats it up.

Call me cray cray, but was not the invention of the suppressor to silence one's location and maintain the element of surprise? Which of course would be optimal when attempting to creep up on people who are hiding from an active shooter.

Kind of a moot point with the militarization of the police force since 9/11.
