It's like trying to wipe peanut butter out of a shag carpet.

Jesus, did that guy at the end shoot himself in the face like six times?

"Geneva Conventions (1949)

Pursuant to common Article 3(1) of the 1949 Geneva Conventions,

[p]ersons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.

To this end, the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:

(a) violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture.

Convention (I) for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field, Geneva, 12 August 1949, Article 3; Convention (II) for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea, Geneva, 12 August 1949, Article 3; Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Geneva, 12 August 1949, Article 3; Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, Geneva, 12 August 1949, Article 3(1)."

Why would they intentionally delay flights?

Where I live, gun laws are fairly restrictive, and to get a license a civilian has to pass an FBI background check, complete a live-fire training course, and submit an application (with multiple character references) and go through an interview process with the local police to explain why you need a firearm. AR15s (among others) are banned outright, and all guns are limited to a 10 round magazine. (Not to mention bans on certain rifle attachments that have little to no bearing on making the rifle more "dangerous".)

Meanwhile, military and law enforcement can purchase whatever they want, banned or not (i.e. AR15s, 30 round mags, banned handguns and rifles). This is regardless of whether they are using it for personal or professional reasons. (Let's be honest, these guys aren't buying their own rifles to go on patrol.) If you go online to look at what a local gun shop has in stock, they will have certain firearms listed at "LE only". These Law Enforcement only firearms are usually sold at much lower prices (~50%) than they normally would be as well.

Given this scenario, do you feel that this is reasonable?

I'm curious what you mean by "military and officers should have "easy" access to them."

Do you think they should have better access to guns while performing their jobs only, or are you saying that they should be treated like a separate class entirely, with special privileges?

Lol, what a load of shit.

Russia is the only antagonist here.

That sounds surprisingly tolerable.

I'm not sure i understand what you're getting at. By that logic, if voting was required, wouldn't people vote even less?

I mean, yeah, it is. Not sure why you're bringing it up here, though. You okay?

You are a real human. I'm sorry you feel like that, I hope things get easier for you.

Wait, I thought all the Jan 6th rioters were antifa? He's going to pardon antifa now?

Can I interest you in a toothbrush?

Very prudent.

Haha, no you haven't you fucking dork.

It's like a disposable book, with ads.

You... you should not be allowed at the petting zoo...

You aren't stupid for asking a question. Asking questions is why smart people know things.

Kind of reminded me of this one.
