Why it matters: Public officials nationwide have faced increasing calls to crack down on semi-automatic, military-style firearms like AR-15s, which have been linked to some of the deadliest mass shootings in the U.S. in the past decade.
This is the highest weasel word per paragraph I've ever encountered.
It's not just the tax dollars they want. They won't settle for anything less than absolute control of their political opponents. That said, a national divorce would make the left fond of border walls again, just like their idols in the USSR.
A national divorce leads to a violent invasion by the Left.
You do not let go of the gun and take a step back during and entangled gunfight.
The Left will never leave you alone. If you leave them alone, they will blame you for everything, then rally everyone for an invasion, and they won't stop until you're dead. You can't partition from Communism ever.
The value of staying in the entangled gunfight is to avoid getting shot. Yes, Leftist policies are bad. Congratulations, you may now actively fight those policies. Should you attempt to abandon you will learn the most important lesson about how predators act: weakness invites attack. The second lesson you will learn is: flight invites chase.
Taking a step back, doubles their aggression. Running incites it.
You do not, ever, withdraw from Leftism. The only choice you are being given is to defeat it.
It's not just lack of courage, fear of the consequences, or that we want to keep a steady job and not interrupt our normal lives. "Right-wingers" don't even agree that a national divorce, let alone secession, is necessary. We're spread out across the country and even red states have malignant blue cities at their cores. So far the right-wing in even one state can't organize enough to convince their state to stop playing with the feds.
To many on the right live in fantasy land where America is a shining light on a hill and splitting it up would be doing the bidding of Chyyna. Plus less money for Israel 😤😤😤
America of 1776 and 1783 (and maybe as as late as the 1840s) was a shining city on a hill. America of today is what would have happened if the Soviets hadn't thoughtfully built a wall to keep the cancer contained in East Germany.
It's way past time for the firearms industry to have a coordinated and integrated strategy to deal with this sort of shit. Leftist states, in alliance with Bloomberg and the other gun grabbing faggots will never stop attempting their death by a thousand cuts approach.
While the Bruen decision means that most or all of these bullshit laws will eventually be thrown out, it would be even more effective if the firearms industry got their shit together and had a pre-planned response for this sort of thing: divvy up which organization is going to file suit to prevent duplication of effort, all major manufacturers and retailers immediately cut off firearms, parts, and ammunition sales to government entities in the affected state, and end any discount programs for private sales to law enforcement.
Basically as soon as a law like this is passed the state becomes ostracized by anyone that matters in the firearms industry and a well coordinated lawsuit is filed. I honestly don't understand why they're not doing this, because if these states get away with banning guns many or most of these companies will go out of business. There simply aren't enough government contracts to support the amount the firearms and accessories currently being sold in America if private individuals can't own them.
Yes, and to date they're the only gun maker to do that. Also, why a law enforcement agency needs .50 BMG is a good question to ask.
Now imagine the impact of just Glock and Smith and Wesson doing the same. That's 80% or more of the handguns used by cops in America. Add in Beretta, SIG, FN, Colt, and Ruger, and that's damn near every firearm a government agency could have. If Federal, Speer, Remington UMC, etc. did the same for ammo there would be an immediate effect.
Why these companies tolerate left wing governments making them a whipping boy for all the crime that is actually a result of their shitty social policies and then lick the hand that beats them by continuing to sell firearms and ammunition to them boggles my mind.
Barrett also developed the .416 Barrett cartridge in direct response, which is a .50 BMG case necked down to a .416 diameter bullet.
My gun customization knowledge being somewhat limited ... does this mean that basically a .50 BMG rifle could be converted to a .416 by simply replacing the barrel?
If so, that's a nice bonus fuck you to California.
Barret after sales support is somewhat legendary. There was one occasion where they gave phone support to a US soldier in a firefight in Iraq or something. Call center guy got the workshop on the phone and the soldier was able to clear his jam and unfuck his springs or whatever. Pew Pew resumed.
Most small government departments don't have the budget or the access to high quality, specialist gunsmiths to service, repair and upgrade their gear. Being able to send it back to the manufacturer's workshop is a significant advantage. Taking that away causes the government department to re-think their service and maintenance procedures or to shelve the weapons until they do.
I've been following this one. There are a couple of companion bills they passed too, one of them trying to use public nuisance laws to assign liability to firearms retailers and manufacturers for their misuse. It's basically copy/paste legislation provided to them by Bloomberg. Pretty much the same exact law is already losing in New Jersey- because it's a blatant violation of the federal PLCAA law.
Bottom line, they're just wasting everyone's time and a shit ton of money passing laws that have zero chance of withstanding a Bruen challenge.

No it totally worked in Korea remember?

Also stopping or disabling vehicles.

Glock would never do that
What about just giving them away? Someone better let Raz Simone know that that's a no-no now!
