Law enforcement officers carry M4s—the select-fire version capable of semi-auto and automatic fire. They're called patrol rifles.
Civilians own AR-15s—semi-automatic only, firing one round per trigger pull. Those are called assault weapons.
So the rifle with greater capability gets the less alarming name, while the less capable civilian rifle gets the more inflammatory one.
Words matter. If the terminology doesn't accurately describe the firearm, it's being used to shape perception rather than inform the public.
So the “defend democracy” people want to *checks notes* abolish the Senate, abolish the Electoral College, and extend voting to non-citizens.
Guys, I’m starting to think they’re not actually wanting to defend democracy…
Wealth tax explained:
1. Laura loves to cook, she risks all her life savings and opens a small restaurant: Laura‘s Kitchen
2. Laura works really hard, evenings, weekends, no vacations
3. The local community loves Laura‘s Kitchen, it’s a success, the restaurant gets larger, Laura hires 30 people from the neighborhood
4. Laura makes 1,5 Million € in profit, she pays 40% in income tax: 600,000€
5. The left „tax the rich“ party wins the elections, and introduces a wealth tax
6. Laura‘s Kitchen gets valued by the tax authorities at 25 Million €. Laura must pay 5% wealth tax: 1,25 Million €
7. The income tax of 600,000€ plus 1,25 Million € in wealth tax is more than the 1,5 Million € Laura makes
8. Laura cannot afford to pay more taxes than she makes, she closes Laura’s Kitchen
9. Laura loses her life savings despite years of hard work, 30 people lose their jobs, the state receives zero taxes
10. The local community goes to McDonalds again
11. The local left “tax the rich“ party members blame „capitalism“ for that on social media
12. Everyone gets poorer due to higher unemployment and lower tax revenues
Why is this so difficult for the left to understand?
If the Crown wishes to violate the rights of Americans, it can source its own arms elsewhere.
Support to every manufacturer that takes this course of action. If more did, maybe gun control activists would think twice before dragging the Constitution through the mud.
We need to normalize the idea that in terms of the degree of evil involved, "Democrat Socialists of America" is identical to "Democrat Nazis of America," "Democrat Pedophiles of America," "Democrat Cannibals of America" or "Democrat Satanists of America."
Marxism has induced more poverty and mass murdered more of humanity than all other political ideologies in world history combined.
This fact needs to be normalized. Marxists need to be viewed with the exact same contempt with which we view actual, genuine Nazis.
Do you know why I'm pissed off on this July 4th? Because I'm seeing the greatest country in the history of the world increasingly bathing in the infinity pool of parasitic suicidal empathy (as has occurred with much of the West). PLEASE activate your inner honey badger and defend American freedom. Do not take American Exceptionalism for granted. Fight! Fight! Fight!
More people have been harmed by bad climate change policies than they have by “climate change” itself. It’s time to drill, frack, continue using coal, and embrace nuclear energy. That’s how we bring down electric bills & drive an economic boom.
On today's date in 1901, over half of the U.S. was at or above 90°F and nearly 9% of the land area was at least 100°F. The same weather occurring this week occurred exactly 125 years ago, but according to most climate alarmists, it was just weather in 1901, but this week's three-day event is undeniable proof that we are facing a climate catastrophe.
