Do those come via email or is CSS / CC notified first?

Buddy who got picked up for CSO was sent a RIP late this afternoon. Stellar timing for a government shutdown LOL

I'm in favor of these laws only because they are forcing the issue to SCOTUS faster. SCOTUS has been hiding from the 2nd amendment my whole life, and only recently have they finally given it some respect. But not enough, and obviously "high capacity" magazines, assault weapons, NFA, CCW, and FRTs all need to be addressed definitively. But Roberts is a coward. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This could probably be discussed in more than one thread given current events. New Assault Weapons Ban & Magazine Ban Is Coming! Rhode Island made it a Felony in 2022 to even possess a magazine over 10 rounds no matter when it was acquired and SCOTUS has denied cert so far on the subject in the relevant cases. Fortunately, Rhode Island is way outside of my normal area of travel, but we could all find ourselves one day with our trusty Glock 19 and its 15-rd. supplied magazine as newly minted felons. Would we meekly submit to handcuffs and fight it out in court since that what the "Law and Order" crowd would espouse? From what I've seen it doesn't appear the courts are going to be any help at all on this particular subject at least for the foreseeable future. Honestly it appears what constitutes law and order depends greatly on a person's world view. Truly interested in the BO community take on this.

Yep, that should account for about 1 trillion in infrastructure spending 🤣😂

AI but funny "Can of biscuits"

Inshallah

Tariff on new builds only

Just like George Floyd was a good person, and Michael Brown was a gentle giant, Alex was also a super calm guy…

If the aforementioned Gulfstreams are certified in the US and EU, expect some posturing from Canada followed by quiet but swift certification of the planes. That's my bet

This is going to be wild, walked back very quickly, or includes large exceptions to the point it’s not really a big deal/he gets what he wants. The FAA right now:

I was worried this morning. When I started my truck the screen said, Caution Ice may be present

If Congress (either side) wanted to get rid of stuff like this, they would. I'm sure we could huddle up and storm up a dozen ways that make sense

At least 2-3 years ago. The story was the dudes wife did it as a prank, she also worked on base. I believe she was terminated. No idea what happened to him. FWIW, I had no first hand knowledge, was not in my squadron. I left for greener pastures shortly after the incident.

I feel sorry for the illegals who are taken advantage when they come here, but they shouldn't be here. We can't let in millions of unskilled people and expect our society to remain stable and prosperous. My wife had a friend who overstayed a tourist visa to secure work in restaurant. Her friend worked for that restaurant for a year without pay (was provided food from the restaurant and lived onsite) and when she demanded her back pay, the employer threatened to turn her into ICE (and to another employee they did the same thing to). She ended up going back to her home country without having gotten paid for a year's labor. We put her in touch with some NGOs that help illegals get their pay (illegal or not, nobody deserves to be taken advantage of like that) but none were able to help and so she went back home (she wanted to work in the US to earn money for her daughter's cancer treatment but wasn't able to find a job in her home country due to being past retirement age). At any rate, illegal immigration and fraudulent asylum migration will continue until the incentives are removed.

China's test run. Or some SNAP got a callsign they really didn't like.

Shit Break in real life.

CBM folks, I caught wind of a recent incident where Ex-Lax was put into the donuts/cookies at the Ops Desk by some pilot... with expected results. YGBSM. What's the rest of the story? Pretty shitty situation!!

Yup. I'm not privy to what the White House has planned for illegal immigration through the rest of Trump's term. I'd like to think that this current wave of ICE enforcement is just the first step, and that the items @pbar highlighted above are coming next. But I doubt it. My limited understanding of the matter is that there are already a lot of good laws on the books for dealing with businesses that knowingly employ illegal immigrants. Unfortunately, I suspect it'll be status quo. Some nibbling around the edges, and that's it. I'd love to be proven incorrect, though.

Is police bodycam AI clickbait now days? I've personally never had a interaction above a speeding ticket with the po po. I agree they are a fraction of daily encounters. They are enough. Do you have to personally witness it to call it 'stupid'? Do I need to point you to the video of the 'dumb fuck' disarming a guy and shooting him in the leg? "Dumb fuck" status well earned.

When people lie as the entry point of a conversation, it's pretty difficult to take anything else that they say as serious. So we have all of these "peaceful" protesters who are just "monitoring" law enforcement with their cell phone cameras. Yet with all this peaceful monitoring going on, I have yet to see a video of a poor illegal immigrant mother being torn from her children while at the park, or an illegal immigrant doctor being kidnapped from the surgery suite. The closest thing I've seen are heavily edited videos that try to remove the part of the interaction where the illegal immigrant was fleeing either on foot or in a vehicle, in many cases putting the people around them at risk. So if these peaceful protesters aren't actually monitoring anything, why are they there and why are they being encouraged to be there by politicians? I suspect if you were to ask the protesters in a candid moment, they would admit that what they're really trying to do is just get in the way and disrupt as many deportations or incarcerations as they can, because fundamentally they believe that illegal immigrants have a right to be, well, anywhere I guess. But I think if you were to ask the people funding and directing them, you would get an answer far more similar to what Clark and Smokin and a couple others have proposed. Distract from the Somali welfare story and de-legitimize the entire premise of immigration control with whatever or distorted accounts of police violence. Those two goals alone help a wide range of progressive policies. As usual, no one on either side actually gives a shit about the illegal immigrants.

Look at us! We're in power now and we're making changes!

The VA law is nonsense, but that picture is inaccurate. That description applies plus: -A fixed magazine of more than 10 rounds -Detachable magazine plus one of the following {insert expanded AWB list, threaded barrel, collapsible stock, etc.} Political posturing.
