  1. Correct. But since we have to make rules for the aggregate, her example isn't very useful. There was a time we didn't need to worry about immigrant integration. Now we do.
  2. Same story, my mom never taught me Spanish. Well, except she didn't come through Ellis Island like your old ass 😂🤣
  3. You don't have to enforce integration. You have to enforce the ability to integrate. That means you do not get to come to this country if you don't speak English. Maybe some asylum exceptions, but nothing beyond that. You cannot integrate if you cannot communicate with the people with which you are supposed to integrate. And before anybody gets all high and mighty, my mother was born in Cuba, so I'm pretty familiar with immigrants who refuse to learn the language. My great-grandmother never integrated because she never took the time. And that was back in the '60s when you couldn't move to a state that has entire communities of ethnically homogenous immigrants forming miniature versions of their home countries. But the real answer is, immigration probably just needs to stop. Give it about 20 to 30 years, everyone will be integrated, and we can start the machine back up again
  4. This is everything you need to know about him. There are good, well meaning progressives out there, guys. He isn't one of them.

  6. Right?
  7. Jesus Christ, Dibs!
  8. Post a video you think sums it up well. It'll be good for others to see, and I could use a refresher. Just goes to show how unsettling "settled science" usually is.
  9. How unfortunate that starting with Kennedy and ending with Reagan, the United States basically closed down all the insane asylums. It would be a pretty handy place for all of the drug-ruined homeless, in addition to women who lose their mind and kill their children.
  10. It wasn't postpartum depression, it was postpartum psychosis. And there is a well-documented history for this woman of battling it. Obviously everything about it is a tragedy, but this is a textbook insanity defense. That doesn't mean she should walk free, but she should not be put into a prison with rational actors that made criminal choices.

    That's fair. You need something to clean the guns with.

    Honestly, get both. Not just because more is better 🤣😂. You're getting too fundamentally different shooting experiences with the two suppressors you mentioned. With 22 you can have the spooky silent experience, which is really neat. Especially if you put it on a bolt action rifle. My buddy and I were out at the range recently and it was quieter than a normal volume conversation. 556 is supersonic, so it's not going to be quiet per se, but it does dramatically improve the shooting experience. You'll still want hearing protection on if you're the one shooting, but when my friends shoot suppressed 556, as long as I'm 10 or more feet away, hearing protection is optional. If you insist on only getting one, get whichever one you shoot more. My intention is to convert as many of my weapons over to suppressed as possible. It's just more enjoyable to shoot suppressed. Kind of makes me angry, because if the NFA hadn't included silencers for the last hundred years, it's crazy to think of how much quieter all firearms would be in general as suppressor technology would be incorporated at a base level. Oh well, at least now that can happen.

    Now all the prices are going to skyrocket for a while I suspect as everybody scoops up the existing inventory. But once everything balances out this should be a fantastic win. I'm one step closer to an FRT Tommy gun...
