A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second.
Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them.
It’s probably fine that vast swathes zoomers and younger millennials exist in a kind of permanent internalized panopticon in which all actions are assumed to be (and interpreted as) performances for a viewer
@Rebels_Raiders I modded both of my apothecary bags into lightweight hiking rigs that double as a sort of minuteman setup. Glad to see more in stock so I can kit up more friends!
The portion where you can put more mag inserts works great as a kangaroo pouch for hiking snacks
The whole concept of this brand is convincing dudes that are incredibly insecure in their masculinity that they're actually very manly because of their consumption. But they managed to make it more cringe.
I hope people realize that digital id laws and surveillance is designed to not only spy on YOU but on your children so they can shape them to what they like.
Translation:
We got caught.
We lied to you about getting caught.
We got caught again.
We tried to distance ourself from one problematic company for another problematic company.
We got caught doing that too.
We're going to try again in 6 months and hope none of you notice.
I mean I don't really agree with this and I think it comes from a perspective issue.
When I was 11, assault weapons bans were federal policy.
Vast majority of states were may issue if not outright carry bans.
For a 1/6th of my life simulated full auto devices were effectively, or explicitly, banned.
And home manufacture of firearms was even more marginalized than it is now even in states where it is illegal.
Polling supporting all these things among my generation and older were mostly in strong support.
Now? 29 constitutional carry states. States are forced to be shall issue. You can basically own a machine gun in the majority of them for under 500 dollars. And an ever increasing number of people are understanding and making their own guns. Popular support nationally for gun control is dying among the youth, the left and minorities.
We are winning, it is just slow and difficult.
But, to the OP's point, these were all earned first through steady CULTURAL victories. Not explicitly through SCOTUS or legislation.
The original is indescribably bleak, and necessarily extremely hopeless and pessimistic. The idea of even trying to imbue a feel-good underpinning to the message is ridiculous and antithetical to the intent of the film.
Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”
“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

Tips to never get carjacked ever:
1. Leave one to two car lengths in front of your vehicle at all times.
2. Never get out of your vehicle, if someone is randomly injured in the middle of the road call 911 from inside your car.
3. Your car is a multi-ton bomb that can move really fast, really quickly, and hit things really hard. You're conditioned (for good reason) to forget this. Remember it in this moment.
I think I fell into the Upside Down. The left is arguing for Second Amendment rights, and many on the right are complaining about having two magazines, a threaded barrel, and a red dot being some type of "assassin" setup
