Or better yet, if you can move jobs overseas do it. If you help to destroy a family and/or community, no big deal as long as you are making more money.
The NRA doesnāt have that much money. They are small in the scheme of lobbying (bribing) comparably.
The NRA brides politicians like a labor union that could not strike would bride a company.

Couldnāt find a topic this fits with, and this is the most ambiguous PWI thread I could find, so here.
RE the Patriot Front group apprehension
For those who arenāt aware, this group was planning a riot to stop a Pride paradeā¦ Notice the gentleman circled - I think we found the mole lol.

Weāve all seen various groups of people in the news who were protesting or counter protesting and I canāt help but wonder if any of these people have jobs. Even if I wanted to protest, I couldnāt find the time or energy. And with gas prices what they are, Iām not about to drive to any protest.

All I ask is that all rioters are treated to the same standard.

Do we know whether these rioters were able to free any big screens or Nikes from local stores?
30 dudes voluntarily crammed into a U-Haul together wanted to stop the parade?
Sureā¦

Pretty sure the FBI actually waited till they all got in the U-Haul, just to make this joke possible and embarrass these turdbuckets even more haha

Maybe they arenāt in the top 10, but your mistake is not realizing what cheap whores our politicians are. All the while they help to prevent any significant laws designed to shrink the frequency of mass shootings. The Bi-partisan bill that may pass in the aftermath of the mass killings in Uvalde will do very little and certainly do nothing to change the fundamental landscape. Even if they may not be a top lobbyist they do wield considerable power. The NRA lobbies heavily against all forms of gun control and argues that more guns make the country safer. Even though we have more firearms than people in this country arnd much more mass shootings. So is it your contention that they donāt effectively bribe politicians because they donāt spend the amounts of money as say the āhealthcareā industry?
Oh they try for sure, but their money is very small.
There is also that pesky thing called the 2nd Amendment that always seems to get in the way.
No amount of laws restricting guns is going to stop mass shootings. It is a person and cultural issue - not a gun issue. Criminals donāt obey laws and donāt care how many you pass. I am sure you are another one that knows absolutely nothing about guns or the laws that already exist or how they actually work.
And they succeed.
Then what have other countries done so that they donāt have mass shootings like the U.S.?
Maybe Iām not an expert but I know that other countries are far more successful in not having mass shootings like the U.S.
Did the founding fathers envision a time where military-style weapons that could kill many people in a short time frame be made available to the public?
You could have a personal cannon when the 2nd was written, so Iām going to say they did.

Just because short-sighted leftists have shown their lack of policy foresight for the last century plus doesnāt mean that everyone else in history was just as foolish as they are.
It seems rather obvious that the guys who devised the best system of government history has ever produced would assume that technological progress will continue. Private citizens could own the deadliest battle systems of the time, up to and including private warships outfitted with cannon capable of coastal bombardment of population centers.
Then again, the founding fathers didnāt have many proto-Marxists around who could repeatedly disagree with them in increasingly vague terms to warn them about the losing nature of the game they were implementing.

This may be true, but check their violent crime stats per capita and get back to me.
Yes, a crank version of the gaitlin gun was around at the time and they knew tech developments would be coming.
So, does the first amendment apply to nothing but the printing press and hand-written documents?
This argument is not only lazy, but it is academically dishonest.
Other countries are also huge gaping vaginas and love to be controlled at the whims of their masters (government). I am sure you would fit right in.

Could you name some of these countries?
- Venezuela
- China (and Hong Kong)
- Russia
- Poland
- Hungary
- Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria and Many Other African Countries
- Australia
- Japan
- UK
And not having the public own military-style weapons is proof of this?
Were these owned by the public? How were they fired? Could they be used by one lone killer, in the same way modern automatic guns are?
Here are the 10 most violent countries. https://answersafrica.com/violent-crime-rates-by-country.html
I bet the U.S. has had involvement in most.
How is violent crime defined? Death?
I donāt think a cannon would qualify as semi automatic.
