It's not just the news either, I think everyone is going psycho

Criminal charges will not be filed against a student after allegedly saying a math symbol looked like a gun.

 According to investigators, the comment made by the student in question "could" sound like a threat when taken out of context.

Does this belong in the gun control thread or the humor thread?

Trump moving to ban bumpfire stocks.

 

I've not read the article and I've seen a lot of sources reporting it, but that's not the message I got by reading their source

I picked up a new inscription for the front of my object 120.

 

I'm pretty sad that I'm not getting my computer back together until the middle of next week, not sure I'll get the chance to unlock that decal.

What really gets me about this is this is the sort of stuff we do to pretty much any country we feel like, friend or foe.  Didn't the US get caught meddling with some French election recently-ish?  Election games for me but not for thee

Looks like this patch will be to flesh out and expand end tier stuff more

Some kid in Cook County arrested for taking a snapchat of a gun and somehow mentioning their school's name.

No outlet is reporting on what was actually said in the snapchat, the vaguery leads me to believe they likely would not have arrested him if yesterday didn't happen.

I'm pretty sure it's some variation of Nicolas Cruz, but as said above, will be sticking with the 72hr rule.  I recall someone early on listening to a police scanner and saying the suspect's name was that and that he had red hair before we saw any pics of him and when everyone else was still posting black haired guy.

The scoundrel

I've got two choices I'm trying to settle between to get my computer back up and running.  An expensive and good option and a slightly less expensive and slightly less good option.  The case I've already got is a Haf 912 I think, I've got a couple nice Noctua 200mm fans and some other cool dudes in there.  If my 970 survived the slaughter, it'll be in there too.  New PSU is an EVGA NEX650G.

Dont you dare cheap out on a PSU.

 

Like really.

 

Dont.

 

Unless you like to have a chance at your hardware randomly going *poof*.

tfw my dead build had an overkill Corsair RM650 and sufficient cooling, yet the PSU decided to holocaust my computer within three years regardless.

I seem to have come into ownership of another gun.  I'll need to temporarily steal a camera from a certain someone here so I can get some better pics of my stuff sometime.

Well, that's fun.  PC randomly died on me while I was making dinner a month ago.  It wouldn't even attempt POST then, only sign it was still getting power were some LEDs on the mobo.  After poking around with a multimeter, I determined it was the mobo I should replace.  3 weeks later after the mongoloids at ASUS have done their business, I get a refurbished one back.  Alright, I can finally get this thing back on!

Except that it behaved the same as it was when it first died.  I laugh because surely this must be because I missed a pin when testing the PSU.  I even joked with a few people when it first died that I would have this happen.  Not wanting to wait another three weeks to use the warranty on my PSU, I just buy a new one.  That came in today, I get everything all plugged in and ready to go, and nothing.  Computer still won't turn on, the only thing I can think is that the old PSU died on me and took a bunch of crap with it.  I've tried everything in the book and a few things not in the book, haven't had any luck.  Looking like I'll get to make the surprise purchase of buying a whole entire new computer.

Sad part is that because of bitcoin mining, replacing my PC build from 2015 with the same parts will cost me more now than it would have then.

Nothingburger of the year you guys

Sad!

Shit applesauce' pic is making me think it very well could be a valmet or Norinco hunter based gun....

I could be wrong since there's so many AK type guns out there, but I believe the Valmet and Norinco sporters would have a slant back receiver instead of the usual flat one like the .308 galil.  Mags also seem to match up.

Is that a Galil of some sorts?

I think that's a galil in 7.62 NATO that's been tinkered with some

Will look at it all later today, but they apparently released more of those FBI text messages today.  The happenings keep on happening!

Someone help me out here because I'm confused.  Before the memo's release, the news was telling me that the memo is full of sensitive information that would threaten the security of our nation, revealing top-secret FBI methods and sources.  Now they're telling me that the memo is a big nothingburger, its only substance being lies and misinformation.  Is the memo supposed to hold important state secrets or is it supposed to be a bunch of Russian lies?  Maybe the reason the story has changed is because Nunes illegally changed the memo right before its release.  Any suggestions on what I should be thinking now are appreciated.

The amount of damage control by the media right now is magical.  I google the word "memo", first page of results is nothing but stuff telling me not to look at it (outside of one embedded Trump tweet sandwiched between a couple Comey ones).

"FBI warns of the dangers of the release of a memo alleging gross misconduct by the FBI"

"Democrat partisan insists that the memo detailing corrupt actions from DNC is false"
"The overhyped memo is a nothingburger, the real issue is Trump's tax returns"

I thought they gave up on the tax return thing a year or so ago

Out at the moment so don't have a link to the .pdf of it, but the memo was just released.

Looks like lots of stuff is happening, I'm stuck doing a report though.  This at least seems like a decent enough summary in video form

Meanwhile, the FBI and DOJ oppose the release of a memo regarding potential corruption within the FBI and DOJ
