    And what about a incentive for people to buy less "assault weapons" with either a tax on the more lethal weapons, or a discount on the more personal defense oriented firearms. 
    Let's say all small compact pistols with equal or less than 15 rounds in the magazine gets a 15% discount. 
    Or all hunting rifles that can contain more than 5 rounds have a 10% tax. 

    Blackpill moment: Banning assault weapons, even if you had a magic genie in a bottle to wish away every single rifle that falls under that category, will not eliminate mass shootings in America and will have a painfully minimal level of impact on the gun related death rate, because as already mentioned the primary instrument of gun homocide and suicide is a pistol with a handful of rounds loaded into it. 

    Even pointing to something like magazine bans, the Parkland shooter specifically chose smaller magazines(10 rounders) for his AR because he could fit more in his backpack

    And that's not even getting into the era of modular AR builds and the blurring between pistol-sized rifles and rifle-sized pistols

    There is some sort of active shooter scenario at a mosque in Christchurch, NZ:

    One of the guy(s?) posted a manifesto

    It's 87 pages of "We must secure a future..."

    With sprinklings of tidbits like on Page 15

    I chose firearms for the affect it would have on social discourse, the extra media coverage they would provide and the affect it could have on the politics of United states and thereby the political situation of the world.

    The US is torn into many factions by its second amendment, along state, social, cultural and, most importantly, racial lines.

    With enough pressure the left wing within the United states will seek to abolish the second amendment, and the right wing within the US will see this as an attack on their very freedom and liberty.

    This attempted abolishment of rights by the left will result in a dramatic polarization of the people in the United States and eventually a fracturing of the US along cultural and racial lines.

    Anyone else watch "Hunter Killer" lol? I was a pretty terrible movie, with a paper thin plot as usual. Pretty good acting though, plus I'm a sucker for military movies like that. 

     

     

     

     

    I saw it with my dad because there was nothing else interesting to watch. I thought it was alright, but there's far better films out there featuring submarines

    I find it interesting that a lot of people, especially in the EU, seem to forget/ignore just how gigantic the USA actually is. For me a one hour drive is a long drive because that means I'm either halfway across the country, or I've driven into Germany.

    I've got a friend who lives northeast of Houston and was telling me on a call this past September that it took almost a 6 hour drive to reach Oklahoma

    5) While I haven't seen detailed breakdowns of the voting demographics, it would appear that the electorate is becoming more polarized along rural/urban lines and race and gender.  Certainly the election rhetoric was some of the most highly charged that I have seen in my lifetime.

    I don't have a site, but I have seen it posted on Twitter

    It was basically White Men vs Everyone Else

  6. The wiggle room in the amendment is whether or not illegal immigrants fall under the full jurisdiction of US law, but nominally later SCOTUS rulings on the 14th and some statutory laws by Congress would mean Trump's EO would be blocked and nullified

     

    But I have seen a theory that this is bait for a challenge against it so SCOTUS can make an explicit ruling on how the 14th applies to illegal immigrants and their anchor babies

    WoT premiums in 3...2...

    This one reminds me of some FB game trying to ripoff WoT(Think it was called "Ground War: Tanks" or something) where it had a "VK 45.02 H" that was basically this

    And since this is an "effort" thread, might as well gloat a little...
