Was there ever really a gap? I got fed up with reddit and came right here and am very satisfied. I don't seem to be having a problem at all.

The dorks downvoting the meme.

"lets decentralize because Reddit is a thought police chum bucket... But lets vilify those darn gun nuts for thinking differently!"

Balanced nuance? what is this?!

I totally agree. I carry chambered myself. But the meme is more about the people who haven't even thought about it and just repeat what they've been told to believe.

Frankly, when I first realized how fast your draw to first shot could be even unchambered, I seriously considered switching. And I think everyone should consider it, instead of knee jerk ridiculing unchambered carry.

I mean... I don't love the NRA. But... Source?

Hey man, if you need some help, we're hear for you.

To add some context (and not to justify this in any way), they aren't licensing "corn". They're licensing some random corn that they genetically modified to have a protein for producing betacaratin, or something like that. It's not like they've patented a wild variety of corn.

When it gets really frustrating is if you plant your corn next to your neighbors corn and they cross pollonate (because it's corn. That's what it does.) And then you keep the seeds to plant next year. And then that's violating some license. It's like "I didn't ask for your stupid genetic modifications, and now you're going to charge me money for them?!"

Sir, this is a dog.

Pictures and articles. People in Russia, presumable american citizens living abroad, pay membership dues and buy magazines, and this is the basis of the claim that Russia is using the NRA as a front for the trump campaign.

You have the Russian brain rot.

Butina plead guilty to working for a foreign government, probably because she didn't have the money to fight the battle in court. But the person whom she allegedly funnelled money from, Mr Torshin, had his investigation dropped because there wasn't sufficient evidence.

The FEC general counsel's office concluded in 2018 that there was "insufficient" evidence to state that Russian money was illegally funneled through the NRA to influence the presidential campaign.

So now, what's more likely: that Butina plead guilty under pressure, or that she was funneling huge amounts of money to the NRA, so much damnable tracable money that they can't even get any credible evidence that the guy she's getting the money from was trying to influence politics at all.

What's much more plausible is that butina has always been a guns rights activist in russia, so her interests naturally carried over to america, and she got caught up in a bogus investigation that even the FBI admits was politically motivated.

I had no idea this was a thing. I want.

Glad you got it! a MOA has such great meat on it, and it would be such a shame if it got away just wounded.

what the heck is wrong with lemmy? if you don't like gun memes, don't come to the page. No need to downvote everything that isn't your exact cup of tea.

That's my point.

Don't worry about it. The zombies may appear to be thinking, but they've actually lost all thoughts long ago.

They call it a nazi sub because they can't stand that people think differently. I mean look at this meme. Do you think this meme is promoting nazis? But these braindead people claim it does.

Oh good! Your the first person to approve my choice of a .950 JDJ highpoint. That's the one I have on me.

Think of it this way.

Is it ethical to force someone to be a catholic, or a jew, or an atheist, or a hindu? I think you'll agree it is unethical. Suppose we didn't have the first amendment. Would that suddenly change the morality of forcing someone to practice or not practice a religion? I think we'll both agree it is still not ethical.

So then, the first amendment didn't create a right to freedom of religion. It described a right that already existed. It tries to bring legality in line with morality.

The same is true for the second amendment. Gun ownership isn't ethical because of the second amendment. The second amendment exists because gun ownership is ethical.

I'm sure J-man would say that about Goth girls. But automatic rifles?

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but an m4" I think that's how it goes at least.

Who or what is Jerma?

Maybe. But why is Taurus analogous to having only one shoe?
