Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No no you don't get it. It destroys anything with mass. Thats why its Weapons of Mass Destruction not Weapons of Mass Destruction
Then only nuclear reactions are gonna qualify.
The rest conserve mass. It gets rearranged pretty significant, but not destroyed.
This guy had convictions for possession of a machine gun in 2002 and 2022! How the fuck did he get a third one!!!
Any gun show a private seller will take cash for a fully auto. Ive seen an mp40 and several other fully auto guns offered by a private seller at one show.
Iirc the mp40 was $40k.
Isn't that kinda super illegal without ATF registration?
When you think about it, the GOP sorta kinda did this to themselves, by loosening restrictions on gun ownership so much...
It's well known that background checks are delayed, so the law simply says the gun shop can sell if the background check takes too long. Apparently they also don't do anything if, after the gun is sold, the check comes back with a big red flag.
Murica baaaaaby.
Yeah it's fucked up.
