@WeaponOutfitter For the record, I would very much like everybody else to go out and panic buy everything for a few months, especially the stuff I intend to list on TacSwap.
@WeaponOutfitter Cultural signaling, plus a bone to throw to donors. Gun control is DEEPLY unpopular, but donors and the deep left base love it. So the safest move is to yeet gun control in early, to flex, but with conservative judges and execs still in place so it safely fails.
@bmitori I'm curious what other people's dry fire "workout plans" look like. I'd love to plan and track in the same way I lift weights. Sets/reps/difficulty, hitting different aspects different days.
@RealTheoWold It's much to our credit that we were able to shoot down Prop 1, but that may change if we continue mass importation of non-Christians and Democrat ethnic voting blocs.
@RealTheoWold The only reason we came out looking better is because we are too small to notice or spend money on, started too deep in the red to flip blue despite the protest votes and stay-homes, and too many ID R's are ex-CA's who will forever vote R to react against CA.
@david__shepard It's good to celebrate when we win a tee-ball game, but let's not confuse that with what's going to happen when we move up to Little League.
@david__shepard We held the line on abortion, engaged in some performance art about state guns and official English, and were secure enough in our lack of opposition to re-elect the sort of neocon incumbents that got shellacked everywhere else.
I don't think that makes us "leadership" material.
@GrandZeroGaming It's an immediate dopamime-hit reward for their base. They haven't even taken office yet, let alone secured the presidency or court. Therefore, it's safe to reward their voters by talking about it. Good for gun advocacy and gun sales people, too, so it'll get signal boosted.
@DocStrangelove2 They know they're safe to do this for the next two years, because they don't have the executive or supreme court.
This is performative. If they waited two years, THEN I'd worry. This is to reward their base with dopamime.
@MichaelAngil Watch the Idaho GOP get historically defenestrated if they keep this up. They will learn nothing from Texas. Import the people who will vote against you while attacking your own sons, and both will turn against you.
@LucasBotkin In your opinion, would this, or another piston gun like a 416 (like a BRN-4), be worthwhile over an existing install base of DI BCM tuned for a traditional Polo K or similar?
@PineKorps@AukMan33 The loss condition would be a long, slow, semi-comfortable controlled slide into a global favela and dark age. The most dangerous thing right now would be for the D's to find and run another "moderate" a la Bill Clinton to cement their mandate.
@PineKorps@AukMan33 It's Pascal's Wager.
If the groypers have what it takes to successfully rush the cockpit of the GOP in the time remaining, they win.
If they don't, then the devolution of society under the left may happen fast enough to blow through any moral considerations and lead to war.
@reddit_lies Prop 1 was a good win. Chalk one up for the good guys.
That said, I wouldn't read too much into it. Nothing else on the ballot was really substantive, except weed, which was worded pretty badly and required inside baseball knowledge to answer.
@LeahSDrew@randy_westlund Iran, and the implosion of the global economy that is resulting from it, is the key. It's not some accident, some oopsie we could've ignored.
It was a repudiation of Trump's 2015/16 platform of ending the Middle Eastern wars and focusing on what's right for Americans.
@WomanDefiner The future belongs to whoever figures out a socially conservative, fiscally liberal platform. Nobody wants the communists, and nobody wants the oligarchs or tech overlords.
