@Psychronia@aobrien2010 By blanket I mean anything that targets a category of firearm or all categories and transactions. The Assault Weapons Ban of 1994-2004 and the various state AWBs still in effect for example. Permit systems in various states were meant as ways to discriminate against minorities.
@CeraGibson I agree with you. But 2 things: First, youre not stupid, no negative self talk. Second, NPC is othering language but there's truth in that you can't rely on the public to solve things. You have to take radical ownership of your own competence and lift instead of insult others.
@AzureusBlaze Also, anyone who says the power fantasy is unattainable with available tools hasn't called in a mech lately. The Liberator which is the worst of the bunch is incredible on the bug front and nets me 30-50x multikills and I can't think of a time I was actually killed out of it.

She knows her shit. 10/10
Amid unverified reports of an increased ICE presence in Scarborough, several protesters have posted up outside the ICE facility with ARs.
Chellie Pingree reacted to the reports of increased ICE presence:
"This cruel, chaotic, and out-of-control agency needs to be abolished. And we need ICE out of Maine. Period."
The protester pictured below has been stationed outside of the facility for months on end, although in our previous interactions with the individual, she was not armed.
Additionally, @WGME has photos of other protesters patrolling outside the facility with rifles:
@tacticoolgf The biggest lessons for me were that weight of fire and maintaining uptime on people/equipment was decisive. In one 90 minute battle i personally fired ~12k bbs
@tacticoolgf Outdoor environment airsoft in big groups like this with hi cap mags is honestly a fantastic learning experience. As a teenager me and my brothers would go to events like these and the way you can experience and implement small unit tactics was formative.
@RamenDealers Plus I think the current model of planetary progress sucks because motivated groups and communities can't influence the conflict. I could have a THOUSAND people in a discord that all dive together running D10s and the best they could do is help clear a city on a busy planet.
@RamenDealers My one real gripe is that arbitrary limitations on how you can use your tools remind you that you're *not* fighting a war. Blocking sentry placements, severely limiting hellpod steering, orders that are clearly about maintaining status quo instead of allowing emergent campaigns.
@mesientoganador I joke about Chris a lot because it's fun and funny. But there's a difference between what's presented to us and what's really there. What's presented to us has real problems and if it continues or you don't wanna headcanon/meta you're way out of it, Chris is deeply unlikeable.
@mesientoganador The problem with Chris is that he's a load-bearing character for the writers plot contrivances and misconceptions. They made 8 knowing they wanted to kill off Ethan, they needed events to transpire to that end, and they made Chris make dumbass decisions to achieve that.
@mesientoganador The stereotype that tough men are gonna be that aggressive and dismissive because they didn't go through MIL/LEO training doesn't align with reality. Chris might be aloof after losing others to avoid more heartbreak but he's not gonna yell at a father that he's "out of his depth"
@KingBlechtun@MarcusCVance Canonically it's better armored than most AFVs, resistant to kinetic, Laser, and HEAT threats in layers. It's as fast as a 4x4 truck. Every system has at least 3 duplicates to take over. It is easily capable of killing space marines in hand to hand much less armed combat.
@KingBlechtun@MarcusCVance Incorrect, what you're using as the baseline for cyberpunk is like using necromunda hive gangs as your 40k baseline. The Dragoon full body conversion that smasher wears turns you into a brain in a bucket. 8 feet tall, 620 lbs, the brain is the only biological organ.
