So basically they were lucky he was dumb and went back to hide in the woods right near his house. He could have left the state and went into hiding with that kind of lead time.

The justification for banning Glocks under this bill is that they readily accept switches. Which is dumb, of course.

Several states broadly ban the sale/possession of “fire rate accelerating devices”…the usual suspects, CA, NY, NJ, MA…it’s broad and vague, but it’s enough that retailers of these items won’t sell to people in those states.

What they don’t know is that you could probably make a similar device for just about any striker-fired handgun, but criminals focus their design efforts on Glock because it’s popular and widely available. Take Glocks away, and they’ll find another model to slap switches onto.

Sure, just don’t be shocked if your victim decides “If the only way to defend my family is to blow this fed’s head off with a shotgun, I’ll take it.”

Probably doesn’t end well for that person, but you’ll still be dead and distinctly not supporting your family anymore. Hopefully the conservative gofundme can tide them over.

So he’s thought about it every single day for at least the past week.

It’s now a pervasive idea in America that non-citizens have no rights. Not just the rights that US citizens are entitled to, basic UN-chartered human rights are being deprived. Either you are an American*, or you are some sort of head of cattle that can be done with as they please.

*terms and conditions apply

They’re counting any injury during an “arrest”, no matter how minor or who’s at fault as assault. Pulling away from being grabbed, officers (often older, overweight ones) hurting themselves while throwing people to the ground, etc.

Half of the articles I’m seeing out of Fox these days have to do with poor ICE agents being targeted for doing their jobs and exaggerating the threat they face.

They are fucking terrified of the possibility of an actual operator opening a can of whoopass on their knuckledraggers Dallas-style. And I guess a little giddy, because then they’ll have consent to ramp things up.

It’s the same gambit as the “militarized border zone”. Marines themselves can’t go out snatching immigrants for illegal entry on their own power, but they can detain trespassers on a military facility. They can protect a concentration camp if they put the camp on a military base.

Every military serviceman they can use for their pogrom in the backline frees up a Fed to go out snatching more people. They are still somewhat sensitive to laws like Posse Comitatus in this way, but not for long. The point is to normalize the use of the military for domestic regime enforcement, until they seize more power, make more excuses, and then you will see Marines going house to house the same way they did in Fallujah.

I remember playing Ghost Recon (no tagline) back on the Gamecube, probably not the appropriate game for my age.

It was definitely a slower and more grounded game back then, or at least as much as a mainstream game could be back in the early 2000s. And first-person.

Isn’t that place lowkey falling apart? Salt spray is not good for infrastructure.

Their geriatric audience still makes the connection between drugs like that and the unpatriotic, godless hippie movement.

Are they, if under this conceit their home country refuses to accept them back?

Or if they are US citizens arbitrarily stripped of their citizenship?

It probably falls under making people stateless, which is illegal. MAGA’ll argue that because they’re in custody, that’s not what’s happening, but nothing they argue is in good faith. If they argue to do one thing, they’re planning on doing something twice as bad in a month.
