To be honest, I find myself reading them more. Their goals are to drive clicks more than political ideals. It's garbage, but consistent garbage with minimal bias compared to most other options. At least you know where they stand...

I think the alt left violently bullying anyone and assuming control of the DNC, the same way the Trump assholes did to the GOP. But that's most of Lemmy so they see it as a good thing.

Politics definitely isn’t a single axis scale.

Im pretty well done with the established GOP, it just sucks because for anyone that isn’t very solidly left there is literally nothing that matches your views at all anymore. My wife is way further left than me but is still right of center by the current standards and is really struggling with not having any choices that she can actually support.

I used to be more centrist but the left has actively forced me to the right. I grew up in MA and my conservative friends all think I’m liberal. I just personally realize in not left because of people like this. I prefer the party that is kind to me on the street. Being a liberal in Enid is far easier and more comfortable than being a centrist in Seattle. Fascism is a hell of a drug and Seattle loves its drugs.

Oh, I absolutely do care which is why I’m ecstatic that this guy got successfully recalled. It’s just bullshit that he got that far and people crying wolf nazi is how he did.

So you’re an intolerant extremist that lumps any and everyone that doesn’t agree 100% with you into a broad category that you dehumanize and violently oppose by all means necessary to publicly shame them into compliance. Got it, you’re literally a textbook fascist. Add in your deliberate harboring of white supremacists by purposefully giving them cover to hide.

I don’t associate with radical fascists. Have a good life.

Cool. So you’re calling me a nazi because of association with people I neither support nor associate with. Wanna know what that does? It convinces me to never associate with you. It also means that when you call anyone else a nazi, I will straight up ignore you. Way to be part of the problem, you are actively enabling nazis by harboring and covering them. Just what I would expect from a standard bigot.

And yet you elected a president who gave a eulogy at a KKK exalted cyclops’s funeral as a personal friend. Having people we don’t like in our party is a bit different from glorifying them. I moved from the Seattle area to Enid and there was far more legitimate hate in the blue area.

I haven’t voted in my primary yet. But keep it up, you’re the exact reason actual nazis are able to hide in the open. No one that isn’t already in your group think actually listens to or believes you.

As a moderate Republican that lives in Enid, statements like this are exactly how people like him get elected. When you call all of us Nazis, calling an actual Nazi what he is means nothing.

I moved here after he had already been elected and first saw ESJC gathering recall signatures while I was out shopping. When they said they were campaigning against a white supremacist I shrugged them off and kept shopping assuming it was standard hyperbole. A few days later I got around to googling him and realized he was an actual Nazi and was super surprised.

When you cry wolf, no one believes you when there is a wolf. I’m sure as fuck not a white supremacist, but you just called me one. That’s how you make me ignore you when you call the next guy one.

Thank god. I was a little bit nervous he was going to pull it off. His signs have been all over town for over a month and only in the last week did I see any signs against him, there weren’t that many.

It would probably be easier for them to mess with it and not affect themselves than it is with GPS and Galileo.

I love how they tried to sue hospitals in WA for patient records. Not sure how they expected that battle to play out.

The title picture for this article shows a fully automatic gun that is illegal in all forms for civilian ownership in the US and does not come in a semi-auto version that is civilian legal. It is also used by the Haitian police as well as the police and governments of several Central and South American countries. It almost certainly did not come from the US.

Well, it piqued my curiosity and now I think I have figured it out, which makes this far more interesting. The Galil Ace civilian version was an extremely limited run with less than 1100 total rifles being made, all for the US market and all chambered in 5.45x39. The rifle in the title picture of this article complaining about the flood of US guns depicts a gun that was never sold to any US civilian nor used by any US government agency (there is a slight chance of a handful of highly restricted and tracked "dealer samples" existing). If you look at the list of users for the 5.56 version of the Galil Ace you will notice that it is used by several Central and South American governments/police forces as well as... Haitian police forces.

It's a Galil Ace in 5.56, the ejection port is larger than the small spot you're looking at. The original Galil was very close to an AK, the ACE diverged quite a bit more but uses the same basic design. I don't know enough about them to tell if it's a civilian SA receiver or not, they're fairly rare in the US. Definitely a boutique gun for collectors and not something that falls into the black market much. No way to tell for sure but I would guess there's a decent chance it wasn't sourced from the US.

AK47s were only really produced for about 10 years, the vast majority are AKMs and derivatives.

I moved from the Seattle area to rural Oklahoma a year and a half ago. 5 years in WA made me not actually be mad about OK.

There have been proposals that address this. The way it was handled is that the buyer puts their own info in the system on their end and it returns a token/code that is given to the seller. The seller enters the token and name then system gives a red light or green light. It doesn’t include the serial number of the gun or the identity of the seller, there is no retained record to be entered in a database. Just a go/no go response for the seller.

The proposal was rejected by democrats for not going far enough so instead we have nothing.
